Darya

Halifax, NS

Oliver & Bonacini

Darya, taken from the word for “Sea”, is the newest Eastern Mediterranean Venue by Restaurant Group, Oliver & Bonacini. Three walls of floor to ceiling windows overlook the Halifax Harbour, which make this location perfect for a restaurant with a Mediterranean aesthetic. The colour palette is specifically Mediterranean in approach: Terracotta, Mustard Gold, and Teal Blues are introduced throughout the space. Used in combination with the warm woods and soft metals, the result is sophisticated while still having a vibrant edge. As bazaars were traditionally outdoor spaces, the design concept utilizes various elements to create the sense of the outdoors, inside, in a decidedly specific manner. Sculptural wood “trees” with cascading lanterns, geometric screens and scalloped banquettes are unique features.
