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 […]
*** Regretfully and unexpectedly, after I posted this blog Tess closed/switched ownership. Standby… *** Tess 5687 Charles St, Halifax This post is wayyyyyyyyy overdue! I’ve been so busy with Sausage Fest, BlogJam and a freelance gig that I haven’t had time for my own blog. This post goes back to a more summery time in early September when I had […]
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 […]
Athens Restaurant 6273 Quinpool Rd, Halifax Recently I joined my friends Megan and Alaska for a birthday brunch extravaganza! I meant to just pop in for brunch, but ended up walking down Quinpool Road with a happy face heart balloon, eating ice cream in a park and day drinking in their north end backyard. I left before the main festivities began. […]
Edna Restaurant 2053 Gottingen Street, Halifax, NS Went to Edna for brunch with my bro recently. As expected, there was a waiting list but there was self-serve (albeit not complimentary) coffee for the crowd that awkwardly took up the front part of the restaurant. We were seated at the bar, which was fine by us. Our server seemed rushed, but […]
Morris East 5212 Morris St., Halifax (Alt. location: 620 Nine Mile Drive, Bedford West) Brunch: Saturday & Sunday, 11am-3pm When I suggested Morris East for brunch last Sunday, my bro was like – “Morris East does brunch?” Why, yes! Yes they do, and they make good use of their pizza oven in doing so. Morris East offers two varieties of […]
Tom’s Little Havana 5428 Doyle St, Halifax Brunch: Saturday & Sunday – 11:30am-3pm $13, or $15 with a Caesar! Let me start by saying I am so over winter. I promised a brunch post for each month of 2015, but thanks to the weather I am only getting to my second brunch now. And due to the condition of the […]
Looking back at my brunch blogs from 2014, I realize I did not eat nearly enough brunch. So my new year’s resolution for 2015 is to eat brunch at least once a month. That’s 12 months of brunch! I got an early start this month by rallying up a crew to meet up at the Foggy Goggy on a slushy […]
Ever since I moved back to Halifax I’ve noticed that we don’t have many brunch specialty restaurants. We excel in greasy diners, and we have pubs and trendy restos that serve brunch, but the amount of spots dedicated to this meal are few and far between. Jane’s on the Common was known for its brunch, but alas, it bowed out […]
Full disclosure: I was invited for a complimentary brunch at The Auction House. I told the manager that I would prefer to not announce my presence until after my food had arrived, and he accommodated that request. Free brunch! Who turns that down? Besides, I had been hearing good things about The Auction House and intended on trying out a […]
