If you are just tuning in now, heads up – I’m on a quest for the best fish and chips at downtown Halifax pubs. I’ve already reviewed the Resolutes Club and Henry House. We are moving on now to Durty Nelly’s. Durty Nelly’s opened back in 2009 with much fanfare, boasting that the whole bar was designed and built in […]
I am continuing my search for the best fish and chips in downtown Halifax, focusing on pubs for now, because lord knows we love our pubs here in Nova Scotia. My last post featured a tasty, no frills fish and chips for less than $10 from the Resolutes Club. That same day, I decided to walk down from Inglis St. […]
The weather is warming up and that means it’s fish and chips season! I got fish and chips on my mind, and a plan of attack. You see, it occurred to me that tourists typically wander around downtown Halifax looking for seafood delights. We set traps for them, mostly along the waterfront, and rake in the profits hook, line and […]
This is a guest post by @hfxfoodreviews, known for their “easily digestible reviews”.

The Side Dish and I have started dabbling with a new Instagram project called @CinLinDoes where we dabble in adventure and lifestyle. We tried out a month of sobriety last November, and decided we should dive into 2021 by participating in Veganuary (a month of exploratory veganism). We were polluted with cheese, wine, eggnog, chocolate, and holiday turkey, and welcomed […]

If you have a favourite spot, show your support. Don’t form internet mobs. Don’t use […]

I am honoured that they have chosen my platform to showcase their quest for the best pizza slice on the Halifax Peninsula. Enjoy! How do you define “good pizza”? We believe the most important attributes are taste, size and price – with taste being paramount, but they […]
Five years ago I delved into the burgeoning AYCE sushi scene in Halifax, writing reviews of Wasabi Asian Cuisine, Genji, Zi Xiang (now closed), Mizu, Happy Sushi and Sushi Jet. I can’t vouch for the relevance and accuracy of these reviews today, but you can read them if you wish. At the time it was determined that Wasabi Asian Cuisine and […]
The Cheeky Neighbour 6024 Quinpool Rd, Halifax The Cheeky Neighbour replaced Relish Gourmet Burgers late last year when owner Drew Voegeli decided to rebrand the last remaining bastion of the now-extinct franchise. The new concept is a “modern diner” with tweaked classics. “Oh, yay! It’s actually a diner,” remarked The Side Dish as we approached. Refurbished diner seats, pastels, wood, and […]
Every year I write a round-up of my best meals, but this year I’ve decided to make a little list of some of the best things to eat in Halifax and a few tasty things I’ve eaten in other locales. You’ll find some old favourites, new discoveries and stuff I’ve been excited about in 2019! You might notice that I’m […]
