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 […]
Update 2020: I first wrote this piece in 2015, before the taco craze hit Halifax. Not only was this post incredibly out-of-date, but there are better taquerias serving better fish tacos in Halifax now! I have entirely updated this post to reflect the fish taco situation in 2020. Enjoy! Ever since I was last on the west coast, enjoying Tofino’s […]
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 […]
Hali Deli 2389 Agricola St, Halifax Crazy, right? I’ve chosen to showcase a sandwich from Hali Deli that doesn’t involve smoked meat. The Triple Decker is described as being “like a club, only with egg and tuna salad, cucumber, lettuce, tomato and red onion”. The sandwich is $9.99 and comes with coleslaw and your choice of fries, potato salad, knish […]
I’ll be the first one to admit that this was not the most scientific quest I’ve done. There were no scoring sheets, and not a particularly consistent body of questers – but much thanks to Denton, Jenn and Talix for their dedicated attendance! This quest was more of a learning experience for me, as I hone in my sushi appreciation […]
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 […]
