The Bicycle Thief

Named after the 1948 classic Italian film, Bicycle Thief has become a staple of the city’s vibrant dining scene since opening in 2011. Located along the picturesque waterfront, it offers contemporary, mouthwatering Italian dishes with a Nova Scotian twist, such as lobster thermidor and crab ravioli. Dishes are divided into “1st Gear,” “2nd Gear,” and “High Gear,” on the menu, and portions are generous (so don’t be shy about sharing).  Request a harborside view on their bustling, lively patio or snuggle into the velvet booths indoors for a more cozy, upscale setting. Service here is always exceptional and dessert selection is definitely one worth lingering over.
