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 […]
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 […]
– And An Interview with fellow Burger Ambassador of 2014: Nikki Burge! Okay, so there are only 2 days left of burger week but that’s plenty of time to eat more burgers! As I write this, Burger Ambassador Josh Rankin, and his Life of Burgers team, have eaten their way through 43 of the 59 Burger Week Burgers! That is […]
It’s officially Halifax Burger Week 2015! This year is the third year running for The Coast’s popular event – it’s a week where people come out to support local businesses while shamelessly eating their most favourite high calorie food. There are lots of $5 burgers to be found around town, which is a great way for people to try a […]
I’ll be the first one to admit that this was not the most scientific quest I’ve done. There were no scoring sheets, and not a particularly consistent body of questers – but much thanks to Denton, Jenn and Talix for their dedicated attendance! This quest was more of a learning experience for me, as I hone in my sushi appreciation […]
Tom’s Little Havana 5428 Doyle St, Halifax Brunch: Saturday & Sunday – 11:30am-3pm $13, or $15 with a Caesar! Let me start by saying I am so over winter. I promised a brunch post for each month of 2015, but thanks to the weather I am only getting to my second brunch now. And due to the condition of the […]
