The actual title of this post should be: “The Best Food in Halifax is actually in Dartmouth”, but to appease the algorithm I’ve chosen the title before you. The inspiration for this post came to me from my gym coach (Hi Cooper!), who was talking about all of the good food there is in Dartmouth. When I thought about it, […]
I’ve been trying to write a post about the best chowder in Nova Scotia for years now, but never feel like I’ve covered enough ground. Chowder is so ubiquitous across Nova Scotia that it would be quite impossible to try every bowl. The Nova Scotia Chowder Trail is a start – but since it is a promotional list, you can’t […]
I feel like 2022 was kind of an uneventful year. I just realized I’ve written a total of 5 blog posts, and I guess that is because my priorities have shifted a bit. I celebrated 10 Years of Eat This Town this year, as well as my 40th birthday, and I’ve reflected a lot about my journey. My priorities have […]
I’m trying to remember the highs and lows of 2021 but it’s all a blur! I think the highlights of my year were getting called back to work and finally getting to visit friends and family in Calgary. The lowest part of the year was losing my dear Grandmother đ And I have just been informed that Betty White has […]
This post was made possible by Tourism Nova Scotia, who sponsored my road trip around Nova Scotia on my search for the best destination restaurants. All views and opinions are my own. Nova Scotia is an amazing road trip province. Drive one hour, and you are in an entirely different landscape with a unique culture and cuisine. The Annapolis Valley […]
While many of my favourite restaurants are featured on this list, which contains some of the best food in Halifax, and I definitely encourage you to go out and support them, please keep in mind that ALL of our vibrant, independent, local restaurants are struggling. If you have a favourite spot, show your support. Don’t form internet mobs. Don’t use […]
If there is one food that screams “Cape Breton” it would be the pizza burger (if not Cape Breton Pizza). It is to Cape Breton what the Cheese Steak is to Philadelphia, what foldable pizza and dirty water dogs are to New York: the most unglamourous, albeit beloved, of comfort foods. It is not a hamburger dressed like a pizza. […]
Another year of blogging done and it’s time to discuss some of the best restaurants in Halifax. Or at least, my favourite meals of 2018. The first chunk of this post will deal with restaurants in Nova Scotia and there is a section at the end for my meals “on the road”. I had a stellar year in 2018! I […]
Last week I published Summer of Ice Cream: Part One in which I showcased the top 8 ice cream cones around the city. This week I’ll continue my list of the best ice cream in Halifax, this time with the craziest, novelty feats of ice cream construction! Coming to an Instagram feed near you! Or just an old fashioned feed – the […]
It’s that time of year again! The Coast’s Best of Halifax Final Ballot is in effect! Please take a moment and vote Eat This Town for best food blogger! Earlier this year, Halifax ReTales declared 2018 the #SummerofIceCream. This comes in the wake of the {hashtag} “death of fro-yo”. As that trend melted away, all kinds of unique ice cream […]
