The Carleton has a brand new menu!
Chef Michael Dolente has put together a menu that is innovative and exciting. Inspired by ‘small plate dining’, this menu is built on the philosophy of eating to socialize.
Small Plate Dining means:
• Trying new flavours
• Personalized experiences
• Afforable, expertly crafted dishes
“The small plates approach is how I love to both cook and eat. More of a dining and social experience rather than a meal just because you’re hungry and have to eat. I want our guests to be able to try multiple different plates and flavours at the same time while shared with friends and loved ones. Food for me is about family and friends being together and sharing a great experience through food.” — Chef Dolente
Musically themed and offering something to suit every palate, all food items are affordable and priced to include tax. Also, 80% of the menu is gluten free!
Don’t worry, we still have the frites.
Our new Happy Hour starts today (Oct. 4th) as well! Check out the poster below and we’ll see you after work or on a relaxing Sunday. 😉
If there’s anything good about the summer winding down, it’s because that means it’s time for the annual Halifax Urban Folk Festival, happening at The Carleton from Sunday, August 26th – Sunday, September 2nd, inclusive. This 9th version of HUFF boasts one of our best-ever line-ups and although the Steve Poltz/Carmen Townsend and Tim Baker & The Halifax All Stars shows are already SOLD OUT, there are plenty of other great shows still to choose from!
Do yourself a favour and come out to see, and hear, some of the best live music in Halifax. This festival rocks!
