Spring at Gio means Nova Scotia apple butter glazed scallops with a black shallot cream sauce, venison braised with juniper and spruce, pistachio crusted halibut stuffed with halibut mousse and a foie gras burger that has absolutely no business being as good as it is.

This is the menu we have been waiting to share with you. Bold, seasonal and built around the kind of ingredients that only make sense right now, when the weather turns and Halifax finally starts to feel like itself again.

Come see what spring tastes like. Reserve your table.

There’s a reason Nova Scotia oysters hit different this time of year.

Cold Atlantic water does something to an oyster that warmer months just can’t replicate. As a result, our oysters are denser, brinier & cleaner. The kind of flavour that makes you pause mid-bite.

We’re taking you through everything you need to know about oyster season right now. From why cold water matters to how to order them like you’ve done it a hundred times and what to drink alongside them.

Peak season doesn’t last forever, come enjoy it while it’s here. 🦪

Oscar never disappoints. 🍸

Spring cocktails are here, including 'It's Hard To Be Sour On A Sunny Day' which features a mix of Glendalough Wild Botanical Gin, Yellow Chartreuse, St. Germain, Calamansi, Lemon & Egg White.

Now serving at Gio...ask for Oscar.

Sharing is optional of course.

Our boutique dessert collection is made fresh to order as the perfect finish, or as a standout moment of their own, best paired with a nightcap, something caffeinated and zero restraint.

Scallops are one of the trickiest proteins to pair well. Get it wrong and the wine fights the dish. Get it right and it's one of the best combinations on the table.

Our sommelier, Molly, breaks down her top three pairings depending on how you're serving them this summer.

Save this one. You'll want it for your next dinner party.
Or skip the guesswork entirely and let Molly choose for you. 😊

Up next: Molly's top picks for pairing with a great steak. Stay tuned.

No shortcuts. No hesitation. Just a chef who has broken down more fish than most people have eaten and makes it look completely effortless.

This halibut came in whole this morning. By service tonight it will be on the plate exactly the way it should be.

It doesn’t get much fresher than this...unless it swims up to the front door 🐟

They survived university...you survived university. 🙌

You watched them put in the hours, push through exams, meet impossible deadlines and survive endless group projects to get here.

That’s a milestone worth celebrating 🎓

The answer to all life’s problems may not come from a great plate and a strong pour...but there's no harm in trying.
