Fish ‘n Chips at Shaw’s Landing
Shaw’s Landing 6958 Peggys Cove Road, West Dover, NS Rating: 8.5/10 I took LuShark out for her first trip to Peggy’s Cove and we planned on feasting at Fisherman’s Corner, which, as it turns out, no longer exists. Instead, we went to another West Dover restaurant – Shaw’s Landing. It may have been our backup…

Clayton Park Pizza Quest
In 2014 I did a Halifax Peninsula Pizza Quest. In 2015 I conquered Dartmouth. Now in 2016 I’m going to tackle Clayton Park, Fairview and Spryfield! I have been told that this quest should be called the Clayton Park/Rockingham Quest but that’s a long title so call it what you want. (Truth: I never knew…

Return to John’s Lunch
John’s Lunch 352 Pleasant St, Dartmouth, NS Rating: 5/10 When I first started questing for the best fish ‘n’ chips in Halifax, the famous John’s Lunch was my first stop.

Brunch at Studio East
Studio East 6021 Cunard St, Halifax I recently took my pal MGyver out for a belated birthday brunch. He suggested Studio East, having been nothing but impressed with his experiences there. I hadn’t been to Studio East yet, so I was all over that. I had been to Saronn’s Kitchen at the Seaport Market, purchasing her…

Nova Scotia Food Profiles: Garlic Fingers
Virtually every pizza shop in Atlantic Canada serves garlic fingers. This beloved regional food is so often taken for granted until people move away and are struck by its absence. Sure, “cheesy bread sticks” can be found in most towns but they’re just not the same. Garlic fingers are made on pizza dough which is slathered with…

Brunch at Your Father’s Moustache
I recently had a visitor from Calgary – Lu, a soon-to-be Haligonian who will assuredly be my brunch partner in times to come. Lu wanted eggs benny and it was cold out, so we ended up going somewhere close by which in this case was Your Father’s Moustache. It’s a popular spot, I told her.…

Eat This Town in 2015

Brunch at The Coastal
The Coastal 2731 Robie St, Halifax The first time I discussed brunch on this blog was my review of The Coastal Cafe (2012). The Los Huevos Rancheros ($11.25) is just as iconic today as it was then, even though buffalo chicken has replaced the mole duck. This is one of my favourite brunch dishes in the city. I had…
