Fish ‘n Chips Quest: Fisherman’s Cove
I recently wrote a piece for The Coast’s Hot Summer Guide about some of the best places to eat fish and chips in the sun. One of my suggestions was Fisherman’s Cove, since it satisfies my check list: Beach boardwalk? Check. Quaint fishing village? Check. Fish and chips eatery with a loyal following? More than…

5 Types of Burritos on Spring Garden Road
You could say the burrito is a perfect food. It’s a whole meal wrapped up in a tortilla for easy transport and extra carbs. If you take away the tortilla, you still have a feast of meat, rice, beans and veggies (a.k.a. “burrito bowl”) and the fun part is customizing all of this into a…

HFX Ramen Quest Pt. 1: Truly Tasty vs. B-Well Sushi
Hello! A while back I polled Twitter and Facebook to see what kind of quest people wanted to see on Eat This Town. The overwhelming response was ramen, followed by phở and sushi.

Lower Sackville Pizza Quest
It has been a year since my last pizza quest, but we’ve made it all the way to Sackville: the land of pizza and car dealerships! Pizza in Lower Sackville is everywhere – I think this must be the most pizza shops per capita in the HRM! I decided to save Middle Sackville for next…

Review: CHKN CHOP
Review by Murray Wong CHKN CHOP 6041 North St, Halifax Food trends come and go, and when they do come to Halifax, it’s usually with a bit (re. four years) of a delay. While rotisserie chicken isn’t exactly a trend, it’s very much a thing in Quebec. A very, very big thing. St. Hubert and Scores dominate…

Fish n’ Chips at Pleasant St. Diner
Pleasant Street Diner was opened earlier this year in Woodside, by brothers Tommy and Stephen Fatouros, sons of Fotis Fatouros, who was once the co-owner and face of John’s Lunch. You probably know John’s Lunch either as “the best fish n’ chips in Canada“, or conversely, “not even the best fish n’ chips in Dartmouth” as Halifax ReTales would say.…
