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…

5 Wicked Bowls of Soup in Calgary

The Vietnamese Subs of Calgary

HFX Fish ‘n’ Chips Quest: Sydelle’s Restaurant
Sydelle’s Restaurant 733 Rocky Lake Dr, Bedford Rating: 6.5/10 My latest fish ‘n’ chips excursion brought me to uncharted territory somewhere between the Bedford Common and the Bedford Industrial Park.
