Always like this place/ we came here again after a while and it being convenient this time for an appointment like last time, prob Feb?/ anyway had the club wrap with roasted potatoes- delicious!!! Son wanted roasted potatoes with cheeze sauce and seitan bacon- he really enjoyed! Try it! Great comfy no rush place with simply good healthy food! Had no room for dessert but we'll be back! Great friendly staff as always / super clean space! read more

Had the chorizo tacos $16 and burger $21 with $4 upgrade to Caesar salad. Ordered the food to-go. The tacos were cold, I think it would have been improved upon by heating up the mix and tortilla first. Taste was okay. The burger was fairly bland. I think a sweet pickle and/or more flavourful caramelized onion would be a good addition. The Caesar salad was good however, and very flavourful. My friend had the cauliflower which was very tasty, and the falafel bowl which was standard. For a vegan restaurant, there are lots of options with interesting concepts. Just missing some final touches for flavour. read more

Wild Leek - Burger - Vegan Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

Delicious food! Not vegan but if I could eat like this everyday I definitely would be. I always get bowl of some sort with extra dragon sauce please. Don't forget to have their delicious brownie! Service is just ok, but go for the food. I do wish I do wish I didn't have to go through the kitchen to go to the toilets. Again, I go for the food! read more

The baked goods are usually very good but the food from the restaurant usually is lacking in flavour. The staff are nice and everything is usually ready very quickly. I wouldn't go with a group to eat in but it's a convenient spot to pick up a little treat. read more

This was my first meal on my most recent trip to Halifax. I'm a sucker for Halifax donairs, and you can't get them anywhere near where I live. You may not even be able to get them outside of Halifax at all. That being said, when I saw the Donair Wrap I had to go for it. As this is a vegan restaurant, it was made with seitan, which was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of grilled crisp to it. I can honestly say this was my favorite donair that I got in Halifax, vegan or not (and I got a lot of them). Otherwise, the space was nice and the service was friendly. Recommend. read more

Returning to Wild Leek as we work our way through their breakfast menu (this is Installment #2) we settled on the Breakfast Bowl for myself, and my partner had the Daily Benny. My Breakfast Bowl (seitan bacon, roasted potatoes, sautéed mushrooms & onions, kale, toasted sesame seeds, dragon sauce) was oh, so satisfying as a savory breakfast feast. The kale was tender and clearly steamed with care. I'm usually not one to seek out meat-type vegan replacement foods but I can tell you, I'm a fan of the seitan bacon! It was chewy and flavourful and there were 3 big hunks of the stuff. The potato-mushroom-onion fried hash under the kale was decadent. I slathered it with the piquant dragon sauce. My partner's Daily Benny (chef's selection of seasonal vegetables on toasted english muffin, eggy patty, house made hollandaise sauce served with roasted potatoes or salad) was ridiculously good and mimicked a traditional eggs benny, without the fatty, meaty, creamy caloric bomb that comes with an egg-based version. The muffin was the white and chewy-puffy type you can really sink your teeth into. The season veg on top was very lighlly wilted small leaf spinach, and added flavour texture and a great fresh colour. The Hollandaise(ish) sauce had an excellent flavour and creamy smooth texture. Her side of roasted potato was perfectly cooked and crying out for a traditional shot of ketchup! Coffee was hot and black and water refills were delivered with a smile and a friendly little chat about hiking at Polly's Cove. Prices are excellent for this quality of food ($13 and $13.50). Can't wait for Installment #3! read more

I never would have guessed that vegan cuisine would have been the food trend to follow the Great Halifax Burger Invasion of 2012, but hey - I'm down with it. Wild Leek is a small, 15-or-so seater on Windsor Street, a short walk from just about anywhere downtown with plenty of parking nearby on the sidestreets for the commuters. While it's not fancy, the shabby-chic charm of the place suits me just fine. The menu boasts about five or six main options ($10-12) with soups and specials changing daily, and a delicious line-up of smoothies and juices on a board above the counter. I went for the banh mi which, as another Yelper has already pointed out, arrives as a half-sammie and mixed green salad - not exactly enough to fill me up for the rest of the day, but not bad value for $10 (plus tax, tip) when you consider the effort going into each one. It was certainly tasty but could have used a bit more zip compared to the flavours I've experienced elsewhere. That said, I'm always happy to see people including seitan as a veggie-friendly protein option. My friend went for the chili and cornbread of the day though and said it was phenomenal. Meals arrived quickly which makes it a legitimate weekday lunch option. Service overall is pretty laissez faire though, not that you'll need them for much once you've got your grub. read more

How have I lived a block away for so long and NOT gone here? Amazing fresh and healthy choices, plus the cutest little spot! The name "wild leek" was an instant attraction, as I love leeks, but wild ones are my fave! When searching for "Smoothies" this was top of the lists, and as it was but a block from my apartment, a natural choice. Walking in, you are met with cute tables and a beautiful light right above, which just adds to the experience of fresh and light! The menu is small but mighty with great smoothie and fresh juice choices that are all healthy AND delish!! I am more of a TASTE seeker than health, but when I can combine to make a tasty and healthy choice, it is just better...for my body i'm sure! (I had a Bora Bora smoothie which was a tropical fruit smoothie of mango, pineapple etc. and super yummy!) There are lunch specials and fantastic looking desserts too, I did not try but I am eager to get back and do some tasting! The prices are moderate as it is fresh and healthy, which usually mean slightly more expensive. There seemed to be people doing work or school work on computers there, which is a nice alternative to the typical coffee shops, so worth checking out! I know I will be back! read more

Wild Leek - Vegan Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

Wild Leek is tiny. Like, TINY. Six tables. We arrived early Saturday afternoon and there was one small table open, so we grabbed it. The white walls have some local artwork on them. The awesome ceiling light immediately catches your attention; it's beautiful. And something to look at while waiting for your order to be taken. (Granted, it was busy, but there *are* only six tables, so ...) Unfortunately we arrived while only brunch was being served. I had been looking forward to choosing something from their menu. Maybe next time. Selection was very limited, but everything sounded good. We both went for the breakfast burrito. Veerrrrryyy long wait our food. Fortunately it was worth it! Who knew tofu could taste so good? The serving was HUGE. Our plates were overflowing with burrito, potatoes, fruit and salad. The burritos themselves weren't that large, but I still couldn't finish everything. While they weren't exploding with flavour, they were tasty. The fruit side included apple slices with cinnamon. Yum! The salad was fresh and crisp. We wanted to order dessert, but the guy at the counter was too busy to serve the tables. After the lineup at the counter died down, we got a Nanaimo bar and an orange chocolate cupcake to go. This place needs more staff. Unfortunately there's nowhere to put them. The public washroom? Is in the kitchen. You have to walk right into the kitchen to get to it. That's how small a space this is, folks. Mike loved his Nanaimo bar, but neither of us enjoyed the cupcake. Tough and tasteless, although the icing was nice and the silver balls were a great touch. We're looking forward to trying their regular menu, but we'll try to come during a slower time of day. read more

Wild Leek - Yummy breakfast burrito! - Vegan Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

First time eating here. Ordered the Basic (tofu scramble, seitan bacon, toast and jam) with potatoes and coffee. FREAKIN' DELICIOUS I may have to move to Halifax. I saw quite a few adorable houses for sale on the walk from the hotel The tofu scramble was perfect, the bacon was the best vegan bacon I have ever had, the homemade jam was amazing. Coffee was great. read more

Having lived around the corner from Wild Leek for a few years, I would describe myself as being cut from a different cloth than the typical customer that I would see when walking by - I'm a proud omnivore, and I lack any of the painfully stereotypical hipster/hippie accouterments. Except cynicism, but we're talking purely fashion here. Wanting a breakfast that didn't make me want to go right back to bed, I decided to try out my healthful neighbour. Seating is comprised of five small tables, plus relatively recently they added a couple booths made out of repurposed wood. Naturally, I went booth. There's lots of potted plants around, and local artwork on the walls, which themselves are made from slanted wood panels. It all comes for a very cozy and outdoorsy feel that I enjoyed. Their menu has an all day breakfast section, which always deserves kudos, even when it doesn't contain the breakfast meats which I love. They're also known for their smoothies here, and the rest of the menu is fleshed out with a variety of vegan and/or gluten free sandwiches, and noodle or rice bowls. While I was tempted by the breakfast options, I thought a simple tofu scramble would be a bit of a cop out for trying something new and hardcore vegan. To that end, I went with their "ultimate" "burger" (all emphasis my own), made from tempeh and black beans, and topped with chipotle mayo, lettuce, tomato, sprouts and a pickle. I chose the house salad for side, and for a mid-day pick up I got a cup of coffee, along with a glass of water to keep my old man stomach from being devastated by the coffee. My coffee was a decent Java Blend, uh, blend, and I'm far from being a coffee connoisseur, but I enjoyed it. My decent-sized burger was out fairly quickly, as the restaurant was sparsely populated with the lunch rush being well over. Being my first veggie burger, I didn't know what to expect, especially given how many kinds are out there with varying ingredients trying to imitate meat. The interwebs tell me that tempeh is a fermented soybean-based product. Combined with the black beans, it had a nice char from the flat-top, but the texture was very mushy, with large chunks falling out of the burger as I ate it. That said, it had a really good flavour, with just a little bit of zing from the chipotle mayo, and some earthiness from the sprouts. The house salad was a mix of greens - romaine, kale, and arugula - with julienned carrot and red pepper. Topped with some roasted sesame seeds and a house-made dressing, it was really refreshing and enjoyable, the best a salad can typically hope for. Service was laidback and friendly, but still attentive. While I was pretty underwhelmed with the mechanics of my imitation-meat patty, I can appreciate the healthiness of their menu, and everything I had certainly tasted good. Am I converted to vegetarian/veganism? Resoundingly, no. read more

Wild Leek - The Ultimate Burger - tempeh and black bean patty, sprouts, lettuce and tomato, pickle, chipotle mayo. - Vegan Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

We love the Leek ... Best of all we don't leave hungry. We come here often; the food is great, service friendly, and the kitchen staff are fast. Jordan & D'arcy are amazing - friendly & efficient. Some concerns would be lack of staffing @ peek hours. Also because this space is so small the noise level is too high. It would be quieter if the juice & smoothie bar were in a bigger space, away from customers. I also find the bathroom placement very weird & too close to the kitchen. Maybe just me but I'm always concerned about cleanliness. For the volume of business, it would be more comfortable in a larger space. However this will not stop me from being a loyal customer ... Love the food ... read more

I really enjoyed this place. It's one of three (pretty sure they are three) exclusively vegan restaurants in the city. And, as with the other two, The food is great! The portions are decently big. My partner and I went for dinner before a show we had. We shared the dragon fries and the Donair with Kale salad and it was enough for a decent meal. The service staff were friendly and helpful with the menu. Side note, this doesn't really have the restaurant vibes I was expecting. It's small and cozy. Feels much more like a coffee shop with exceptional food. And you have to skirt the kitchen to get into the bathroom, which seems a bit weird to me, but the space is so small there isn't really any other way to do it. read more

Tasty food and a really cute ambience. I got the portobello Reuben which had a distinct and strong flavor that really worked well taste wise. The whole shop is very cozy and it is a small store (only 7 tables), and it is decorated to almost feel like your hip bohemian friend's apartment (if that makes any sense???). The only complaint I have is that while the service was nice and friendly, on my way out we had to wait about 10 minutes after asking for the check. It wasn't busy as there was only 2 other groups in the store but our server was clocking out and chatting with the incoming shift and others before he left. I'm sure it was an isolated event, but it did leave a sour taste in my mouth to be ignored for so long at the end. read more

My partner and I took flight to Halifax from Montreal: in hopes of a nice vacation, a good rest, and some different vegan food. I was stoked to visit Wild Leek after reading some positive reviews and eager to see what Halifax had to offer in terms of vegan brunch. As we found out at the resto, the chef of one of the major vegan restos in Montreal, Aux Vivres, hauled it to Halifax and opened Wild Leek. While I enjoyed the space and the return to vegan cafe-type food, Wild Leek didn't offer much of an upgrade from the norm for me. Much like Aux Vivres, Wild Leek is really heavy on the nutritional yeast and the filler content (why must a breakfast bowl be half potatoes and like, four leaves of kale?!). Exactly like the food from home base, Wild Leek's brunch gave us both pretty pronounced indigestion. I may sound like a broken record making this complaint again but I think we owe it to ourselves to go above and beyond traditional concepts of vegan food. A heavy reliance on the same tastes and the overuse of soy and gluten isn't doing anyone any favours. I'm looking forward to cute places like this challenging the norm (even the vegan norm!) and a more exciting future for vegan brunch. Did I mention it's cute? Go cause it's cute. read more

Easily my favourite place in Halifax. Yummy creative dishes and a cool vibe in the atmosphere and setting. Everything here is just perfect.

I love their plant based Caesar salad and their bowl! It came nutritional yeast, croutons, tofu caesar dressing and coconut bacon all over kale and mixed greens. It is surprisingly flavourful and a good portion size. I liked it so much I bought the stores dressing and bacon! read more

Wild Leek - Plant based kale Caesar salad - Vegan Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

FINALLY! A vegan resto within walking distance from work. This is exactly what the north end ordered. Wild Leek is like some kind of vegetarian wet dream--with tasty freshly juiced deliciousness (I've already become addicted to the Refresher, a celery, apple and lemon concoction), smoothies, the BEST salads I've had on the cheap ($9) since Pete's Frootique and a nice selection of lunch options... I mean why go anywhere else? Today I had the Greens salad, a giant mound of field greens, spinach, lettuce and kale topped with avacado, tofu (amazing) and this orange ginger dressing that will literally change your life. They've also spruced the place up since Gracious Indian, giving it a clean white paint job. Did I mention the desserts? There's a carrot cake with my name written all over it. Plus, the staff are just so friendly. I can't wait to go back. I want to go right now. Maybe I will. read more

loved loved loved. Although only a small space with bfast/lunch options. This place should not be over looked. It's a wonderful cafe and has a super unique juice bar was great options for a healthy pick me up. The dessert case is divine. All house made and all creative. The avocado chocolate mouse is unbelievable! My favorite though, the CLT. With some sort of fried large strips I coconut in place of bacon. It is amazing. And that is not an overstatement. The house made sauce on the wrap is delicious as well. And the small side salad is always fresh and visually appealing. I can not speak the praise of this wrap enough. The loaded potato nachos are also delish. With some house made sauce I coat them in, it makes for a tasty meal. With the special and soup always changing, the wild leek offers a sure fire breakfast lunch spot that will please all of us veggie and vegans. But the best part? The service! The owner is super nice and accommodating. She makes you feel at home. And she's a Wonder Woman- baking, cooking, serving, etc. She does it all at once! Kudos! read more

I don't feel "cool" enough for this place. I don't "get it". Is this a joke!? I wanted to check that place out with a friend. I remember it when it was called the "Vegan Juice Bar" until they changed the name years ago, probably because it sounds ridiculous. What are you going to put in your juice anyway!? milk perhaps? Anyway, So we walked in around 2:30 p.m. The place was dead silent...and not in a reassuring way. Two customers seated at one of the 6 tiny tables and the (grumpy) barista were looking at us, as if we were lame aliens. I dislike judging people, but they looked quite....eccentric. The menu above the counter only listed some juices and smoothies, but it seemed that there were other menu items as well, judging by the good looking, yet tiny and overpriced pastries on display (some of them looked stale) and the jars of loose leaf tea (for decoration, perhaps!?). A menu would have been useful. HELLO!? As we were deciding on our order, the Barista interrupted us and asked us if we needed one minute. That's fine. But she walked into the kitchen and stayed there for 6 long minutes, until I told my friend that we should perhaps go to another cafe. Thankfully, the staff overheard us. So we ordered two "regular"-sized smoothies for a total of 10$ after tax. The smoothies were minuscule! They were literally the size of a tooth-pick holder. Seriously, these are the smallest cups (ignoring shot/espresso cups) I had ever seen in my life. Even the straw made the cup look pathetic. The "large" was only a little bigger (still smaller than a Tim's small coffee cup). What a joke for 4.60$! Would it kill them to up-size the portions a little!? I got the purple haze. It was a Kale, Ginger and blueberry? mix. The Kale and ginger were overpowering the other ingredients resulting in a disappointing drink overall. Plus I kept getting pieces and bits of kale stuck in my teeth. That's not handsome! In other words, it was a poor decision to order that drink. My friend was happy with her strawberry smoothie...that she drank in 2 minutes. The reason I don't get it is because the location is weird, the prices are steep, the staff is rude and annoying and the portions are pathetic. Long story short: get a smoothie at McDonald's! read more

I was very excited to visit the Wild Leek. I just moved back home from the Yukon and had heard there was a new vegan restaurant opening. I finally got there today. It's a very cute little restaurant and the staff was very friendly. I really liked the sweet waiter we had. I had some delicious coconut pancakes complete with fresh fruit and my husband had a bean burrito also with fresh fruit. We both got one of the delicious homemade lemonades they have to offer. I had the beet lemonade and my husband the strawberry. And for dessert, a carrot "juiced" cupcake which seriously was probably the best cupcake I've ever had in my life. Melt in your mouth, so full of flavour. A wonderful first visit, I can't wait to come back! read more

I've only been to this spot once for a smoothie and a cupcake. I know it's hard to mess up a cupcake, so when I say how good it was you might brush it off but it was SO GOOD! A delicious vegan cupcake is in itself something worth going into this spot for. It's a cute little eatery in the Northend, they have all day breakfast ( I thought I read that on the menu - which I will be back for) and a large variety of fresh pressed juices and smoothies. There is about 7-10 tables in there and half of them were occupied when I was in on a Saturday afternoon. The place is full of plants and although it's small it feels light and airy in there. I'm sure it would feel cramped quickly if you went at meal times. They have fantastic local art on the walls, and the service was nice and friendly. My cupcake came in a cute Chinese takeout box. Instant love. (nice touch Wild Leek ) read more

A little place on Windsor St., comes complete with lovely art on the walls by locals, free wifi, outside tables (weather permitting), great service, and totally amazing food! They make amazing smoothies, deserts to die for ( I'm scarfing down carrot cake, I didn't have room to stuff my gullet, with after my Club Sammie, last night). Staff is always super friendly, and boys and girls, wholly vegan (pun intended)! Kirstin, the owner, is quite knowledgeable about their food choices, and will help with selection. The menu selection is not huge, but is changed often enough to keep boredom from setting in. Most, if not all, ingredients are procured locally (yah!) whenever possible. Parking might be an issue, if you're too lazy to walk around the corner ( I use a cane, and I can do it), but the food makes any inconvenience, inconsequential. I, and my wife, both love this place! read more

I was very excited to hear about a new vegan restaurant in Halifax, and was overall pleased with my experience on my first trip to Wild Leek. The best thing was the fresh juice--I had an excellent celery, apple, lemon juice, and I will keep coming back to sample all of their juices and smoothies! Our food items were hit and miss. We ordered the seitan banh mi, the gazpacho and two desserts. The desserts were meh--the brownie was a bit dry and the chocolate chip cookie was underdone. The seitan banh mi was pretty good--the seitan had a nice texture, although it tasted a bit too much like "italian" seasoning. We were also disappointed that you only received half a sandwich in the order. The best item by far was the gazpacho, which was garlicky and cool on a hot day! While I had some quibbles about the food items, really, everything was pretty good. The service, however, was a bit scatterbrained: we realized after we left that the waitress had overcharged us for our food. I hope this was an isolated incident because I look forward to eating at the Wild Leek again! read more

**Vegan restaurant** Tried here for supper one day maybe a year ago with a friend and remember enjoying it, but wasn't on my top list of places to return. Today for lunch by myself I felt like trying it again, so did. When I arrived just after noon, one table was occupied out of the maybe 10 they have. Another two had been taken by the time I left, closer to 1:00. Small, basic little place with lots of natural light from the front windows. Big chalk board above the register listing their smoothie & juice options. The menu is basically breakfast-brunch-lunch only, but enough choices where I had a tough time picking something today. I noticed that the nachos weren't listed, which I'd had the first time, and was told that they do change the menu. There are daily specials; today's sounded good, but I ended up going with two small dishes off the regular menu. The Breakfast Salad (spinach, roasted potatoes, red pepper, avocado sauce, chick peas, onion, coconut bacon. $8/small) was very good with a bit of a spicy quality. I could have ordered this on its own and been satisfied. My second item was the Poutine Supreme (roasted potato wedges, sauteed seasonable vegetables, sage gravy, chick pea cheese. $6/small) which was very good as well, and then I was quite full. Very friendly service. When paying my bill, I decided to get a couple of cupcakes and a jar of coconut bacon to go. I do remember their almond butter cups were delicious (from first visit). Yes, I'd go back and try something else on the menu, maybe another weekend lunch in the spring or summer. Next visit: for breakfast in July 2018 on a Saturday. The place was more than half full. Very friendly service again. The N'omlette ($12 choice of 3 fillings, can add extra for 50 cents and coconut bacon for $1.00 which I did), served with potatoes. It was delicious and very filling - I couldn't actually finish it. 3rd visit: lunch on a gorgeous Tuesday in August. Tried the Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos ($10 chipotle seasoned cauliflower, crunchy slaw and buffalo sauce on corn tortillas). Spicier than I imagined they would be, but just right for me, with great flavor and nice mix of textures. Simple, satisfying without being too filling. Slightly messy to eat, but not too bad. read more

Firstly, my sister and I walked for 20 minutes in the pouring rain to go eat here, so I walked in with a "this better be worth it" attitude. It was! I love visiting my sister and there are lots of vegan-friendly places in Halifax (unlike Saint John, NB). I ended up ordering half the menu. We eat got a burger, I do not even remember which one. It was really good, but it was one of those soft patties that falls apart. The potato wedges were yummy too! I ordered a side of scramble and bacon. I did not like the bacon but the tofu scramble was delicious!!!! (pricey for the small amount). I have had one cupcake from this place, which was ok... a little dry and nothing in comparison to what I have had in Chicago. The milkshake was really good. It was healthy but still yummy. Oh and we shared a quesadilla with pesto appetizer- SO GOOD. I would definitely go back to this cute little spot. And be sure to get the "heated seat" (it is a secret). **As a note, 4 stars to me = AWESOME.

The Wild Leek is growing on me. I'd give it a 3.5 if I could. I have tried this place now a few times since my friend lives right next door. I've been in a few times to sit down at the request of my friend. I have got the Wild Bowl twice now and the chocolite soothe twice and both times I really enjoyed them. The chocolate smoothie is pretty freaking good for you when you look whats in it - cocoa, bananas, dates, soy milk, and it tastes like a milkshake of sorts. Yes please. The wild bowl is also great. They put this stuff on it called "dragon sauce", I'm not sure why its called that but it rules. I also have no idea whats in it. The bowl itself has kale (which I subbed out), beets, carrots, rice, tofu, broccoli in it. Its really hearty and obviously healthy and tastes really good. The owner and another guy (i think named Jordan?) were servers the last time we were there and they were really great - I have no idea who waited on me previously but I wasn't a fan. They were also there at Evolve serving their awesome foods and juices. I bought a ton of the tonic juice there - it was soo refreshing, especially since the hill was unbelievably hot that weekend. I told everyone about it. They were also serving curries and different wraps, I thought they were a perfect addition to Evolve since last year they were definitely lacking a vegetarian/vegan option. read more

Oh yeah!! What a great place to eat. Amazing food, cozy environment, and friendly staff. A little pricy, but for the quality of food, it is worth it.
