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 of sandwiches, has started his […]
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 one shot, but had a […]
To see the rest of the Dartmouth Pizza Quest, check out my posts on Downtown Dartmouth, Woodside/Eastern Passage, Cole Harbour and North End Dartmouth. Welcome to the last leg of the Dartmouth Pizza Quest! If you are scratching your head at my “East Dartmouth” designation, this is the area east of Lake Mic Mac and Lake Charles, with Main St. and […]
Taste Halifax is the new food tour in town, operated by Susan Downey of Grape Escapes. I recently had the opportunity to tag along for a tour. I love a good food tour! I think that food/culinary tourism is a great way for people to experience a place and its culture. Most cities have some sort of food tour company […]
“Weirdest Quest Yet” – Halifax ReTales Our latest conquest of the Dartmouth pizza scene was finding the best pizza in North End Dartmouth. Click this pizza link to see everything Eat This Town has conquered thus far. Much thanks to our host, Danielle, who connected with me on r/Halifax, and her boyfriend Jordan who helped us eat some pizza! This […]
If you’re just tuning in, please check out the previous Nacho Quests. Yes, we have already done Spring Garden Road and the Economy Shoe Shop. Here is my report for the Barrington Street Nacho Quest – which also included a bit of Granville Mall. We originally planned on doing the waterfront but a torrential downpour made us opt instead for […]
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 continues to be one of […]
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 waffles, and I complained about […]
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 the from-scratch veggie gravy is […]

Anne, one of our hosts from Downtown Dartmouth, […]
