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, […]
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 […]
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 one! I mistakenly mentioned Gordy’s […]
King Street Fish and Chips 59 King St, Dartmouth, NS Rating: Some Good! (Rating Scale: WTF, Meh, Good, Some Good, Right Some Good!) I recently wrote a piece for The Coast’s Hot Summer Guide: “Batter Up: 7 Spots to Eat Fish ‘n Chips in the Sun“. I was pretty confident with my list, except for the embarrassing realization that I […]
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. Diners must reconcile these accolades […]
The Canteen 66 Ochterloney St, Dartmouth (Closed Sundays) If you haven’t been to The Canteen, sandwich lover, you’re really missing out. This brainchild of Fiesty Chef, Renée Lavallée, is most coveted by those across the harbour. Hidden above Two If By Sea, on Dartmouth’s Ochterloney Street (and soon moving to Portland St), this is arguably the best place for sandwiches on the east […]
John’s Lunch 352 Pleasant St, Dartmouth, NS Rating: 5/10 When I first started questing for the best fish ‘n’ chips in Halifax, the famous John’s Lunch was my first stop. You can read my 2013 review here in which I wasn’t all that impressed. Now that I’ve tried fish ‘n’ chips from 14 other places around Nova Scotia, I decided it […]
