Update 2020: I first wrote this piece in 2015, before the taco craze hit Halifax. Not only was this post incredibly out-of-date, but there are better taquerias serving better fish tacos in Halifax now! I have entirely updated this post to reflect the fish taco situation in 2020. Enjoy! Ever since I was last on the west coast, enjoying Tofino’s […]
U-Pick-Fish (Truck Side) 600 Windmill Rd, Dartmouth Rating: 6/10 This will be my third summer of fish ‘n’ chips questing. You can see the 11 places I’ve already visited by clicking here. I’ve kicked off the summer of 2015 with a trip to Truck Side – a brand new “food truck food court” in Burnside. Yeah, you heard me right. […]
I realize that Cole Harbour is not technically part of Dartmouth, but it makes sense to include it within the Dartmouth Pizza Quest, so here it is! Much thanks to our hosts, Ann & Gil for their wonderful hospitality! Ann’s watermelon agua fresca and rhubarb pies almost stole the show! We ordered pizzas from the following: Anapolie PizzaAlexandra’s PizzaBasha Pizza […]
Athens Restaurant 6273 Quinpool Rd, Halifax Recently I joined my friends Megan and Alaska for a birthday brunch extravaganza! I meant to just pop in for brunch, but ended up walking down Quinpool Road with a happy face heart balloon, eating ice cream in a park and day drinking in their north end backyard. I left before the main festivities began. […]
Welcome nacho lovers! You’ve reached my first nacho report of 2015 – the Brunswick Street Nacho Quest! If you’re just tuning in, check out last year’s Spring Garden Road Quest and Argyle Street Quest. This quest, loosely focused on Brunswick Street, included the following establishments: Midtown Tavern LevelBar The Keg HFX Sports Halifax Alehouse Canvas Restaurant The Fireside My nacho team was made […]
Edna Restaurant 2053 Gottingen Street, Halifax, NS Went to Edna for brunch with my bro recently. As expected, there was a waiting list but there was self-serve (albeit not complimentary) coffee for the crowd that awkwardly took up the front part of the restaurant. We were seated at the bar, which was fine by us. Our server seemed rushed, but […]
Morris East 5212 Morris St., Halifax (Alt. location: 620 Nine Mile Drive, Bedford West) Brunch: Saturday & Sunday, 11am-3pm When I suggested Morris East for brunch last Sunday, my bro was like – “Morris East does brunch?” Why, yes! Yes they do, and they make good use of their pizza oven in doing so. Morris East offers two varieties of […]
This year I’ve decided to take my pizza quest to Dartmouth! Just like the Halifax Pizza Quest, I will be dividing Dartmouth up into “pizza neighbourhoods” and ordering pizzas from all the shops in each zone for side-by-side analysis. The pizza zones are as follows: Downtown DartmouthNorth End DartmouthWoodside/Eastern PassageEast DartmouthCole Harbour I realize that Cole Harbour and Eastern Passage […]
Hali Deli 2389 Agricola St, Halifax Crazy, right? I’ve chosen to showcase a sandwich from Hali Deli that doesn’t involve smoked meat. The Triple Decker is described as being “like a club, only with egg and tuna salad, cucumber, lettuce, tomato and red onion”. The sandwich is $9.99 and comes with coleslaw and your choice of fries, potato salad, knish […]
Well, Burger Week is officially over and I’m all burgered out for a while. Looking forward to a nice cleansing diet and maybe a gym membership! I ate close to 16 full burgers this year, sampling 19 of them – so I got to try a third of the burgers. Due to weather/time constrictions I generally focused on downtown. In […]
