Scotia Square Food Court

Surprisingly an amazing place for lunch, I’ll take the 2015 food court over the 2012 one anyday of the week.

This food court is just amazing! There is so much variety, and options for everyone. Some favorite restaurants can be found in it! Be sure to check out Taste of India, Korea Garden, and Freshii!

I have to admit, this is a great food court. Go for the Turkish food or one of the smaller (non-​chain) restaurants.

While they have widened the spectrum of ‘ethnic diversity’ in the food court, did they have to get rid of Ray’s to do it?
And the Subway is a hit or miss at the best of times, but mostly miss.
The majority of new kiosks are barely patronised.
The old standby of A&W is always a good deal.
And if they wanted to give a wider range of healthier alternatives in the food court, would McDonald’s really be the best choice for the first new kiosk?

Great vegan choices at the Scotia Square food court including Freshii, Thai Express, Mezza, Subway and You & Me Sushi. Lots of seating in a clean comfortable environment.

Good selection just not the best it could have.

Stopped for a burger at A&W whilst in a rush at a conference in Halifax and was blown away! This was honestly the best burger I have ever had.
The midrange burger with sweet potato fries and a spicy dip was fresh, bright, crisp. It wasn’t over packaged and it’s hormone free. The staff were typically courteous and with a drink it came in at $ 11.
I SO wish someone would bring these values over to the UK!

Currently under renovation which typically means better things are on their way.
What I really liked about the food court was that for the morning there were three coffee and breakfast options: mcdonalds, Tim Hortons and Starbucks. This I consider the trifecta whe it comes to coffee! Surely something to please anyone! Being the coffee snob (and some what proud) that I am I went to Starbucks three days in a row.
I really wanted to try the Indian place but will on one of my next visits. Looks really good.
Renovations should make this place a popular breakfast or lunch place in the future!

Scotia Square is evicting Ray’s Lebanese and A Taste of India for no reason. They were the only reason to go to their food court.
If you find yourself here, best to keep walking.

Since I just watched animal planet, I realized that Scotia Square food court resembles a watering hole but more of a man-​made corporate version.
Besides Halifax Shopping centre’s and Mic Mac Mall’s food court, Scotia Square’s one has more choices to choose from.
The stalls themselves aren’t your typical franchise holders. With the exception the likes of A&W, McD and Tim Hortons, there’s also an Indian and Chinese stall. In other words, there’s a good mix to it compared to other food courts in the city.
Well if I had no choice but to go to a watering hole to look for food, I would want to go to one like this.

Honestly, I think this is the best food court there is.
Yes of course it has KFC and A&W. But in addition there is: Indian, Korean, Chinese, Middle Eastern, Turkish, Japanese, Mom and Pop shop, and Quiznos.
I think they try super hard to cheap it fresh and not the tire old food courts of the malls.
Seating is in abundance but it is a super loud place to be with really annoying cleaning staff, so don’t choose here to do any kind of work or waiting.

To a goverment employee this place is a gas station aka cheap coffee. When tims has a line up down the mall and starbucks is well starbucks where the line looks small but the wait is long. Mama Gratti’s sits in the corner of the mall with never much of a line and coffee for only $ 1.25 any size tax in. So why don’t more of these coffee fueled goverment and office workers from various builings in the area dive in? Your guess is as good as mine and my guess is people are brand bleep.
OH and if you are looking for a heathy cheap lunch they have that too.

Allegedly the «largest food court in Atlantic Canada» (because who’s going to verify that claim?), the Scotia Square Food Court offers a great variety of food selection.
Having worked in the area for several years, I have a few tips:
* If you’re going for lunch, try and go a bit early or a bit late; it gets insanely busy here.
* There is lots of seating; you don’t have to sit in the main section, there’s a quieter, secluded area across from KFC.
* Many places have daily specials, so poke around a bit.
* Some places are busier or slower than others; take a moment and look at the lines and decide if you really want to wait in line for 10 minutes for a burger of if you just want to grab a slice of pizza instead.
* Please, please, please read the instructions on the waste stations; Scotia Square has gone to great lengths to provide you options fo
