This was our first time at Café Lunette and it was a wonderful experience. Our server David was great and attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious. I ordered from the Dine Around menu and my partner ordered from the Prix Fixe menu, and we were both very happy with our choices. The portion size was great, and the meals were delectable. I really enjoyed the Parisian theme and thought it was very true to a an upscale Paris bistro. We will happily return again for another special occasion!

We love brunch at Cafe Lunette. Flavourful, varied choices with excellent service. The two times we have been for dinner the kitchen seems to be rushed and not paying attention to detail. Service efficient and friendly!

Service was great, menu options were good but not too busy that you needed to phone a friend to decide. Delivery was a little slow but that was acceptable yielding the results that were expected.

My husband and I enjoyed dinner at Café Lunette this evening as part of Dine Around Halifax. John took great care of us, was friendly, engaging and attentive and made great recommendations. Everything was delicious! From the french onion soup to the salmon meuniere to the incredible Paris-brest pastry for dessert. We haven't had a praliné cream like that in years (back when we lived in Montreal). It was our first time dining here and it definitely won't be the last! What a treasure. Well done all!
