Sandwich Showcase: Vesuvius Sandwich at The Italian Market
The Italian Market 6061 Young St, Halifax I first heard about this sandwich from The 101 Best Things to Put in Your Mouth in HRM, a list compiled by Halifax ReTales in 2013. That list mentions a few notable sandwiches, and was probably the inspiration for my Sandwich Showcase. Just this year ReTales, still a lover…

Brunch at Bistro Le Coq
Last Sunday a crew of us went for brunch at Bistro Le Coq, which serves an elegant brunch with some French flair. We started out with some perfectly decent Caesars which they call the “uncle buck”. Clamato is blended with pot au feu jus, dijon, horseradish and 1 oz rye ($7). Kind of pricey for…

Best Lobster Rolls in Halifax (Updated 2021)
I originally wrote this post back in 2015, after I had been tasked with writing an article for The Coast’s Hot Summer Guide (2014). I had sampled 20 lobster rolls around Halifax before submitting my article: How we Roll: Halifax’s Best Lobster Rolls. I have tried to keep it up-to-date over the years, because it…

Brunch at The Stubborn Goat
Well, the plan was to go to the Coastal but due to street maintenance/construction the Coastal was closed for the day. So my bro and I decided to u-turn back downtown to The Stubborn Goat because I heard tell of some new menu items. My last Stubborn Goat brunch post mainly concerned the chicken and…

Sandwich Showcase: Cheese Steak at Willy’s
Willy’s Fresh Cut Fries & Burgers 5239 Blowers St, Halifax I usually think of Willy’s as a place to get drunken poutine after a night of debauchery. It consistently holds down the title for Best Poutine in the Coast’s Best of Halifax Awards, despite being right across the street from Smoke’s Poutinerie. Locals know that…
