Sandwich Showcase: Smoked Meat at European Pantry
European Pantry 6516 Chebucto Rd, Halifax On Facebook European Pantry is a small grocery with a big ‘ol cheese fridge, vats of olives, and fresh loaves of house-baked bread. What I didn’t see was a menu. So I asked: “I heard you guys make a swell smoked meat sandwich?” There are two sizes: small ($6)…

Bedford Pizza Quest
Bedford was the last zone to be conquered in the Halifax Pizza Quest, and with its completion we have scoured the entirety of the urban HRM (Peninsula, Spryfield, Clayton Park, Fairview, Dartmouth, Sackville). It’s been close to 5 years of questing, and these preliminary findings will help me to narrow down the best pizza in…

Brunch at Elle’s Bistro
Elle’s Bistro 1678 Barrington Street Website I normally wouldn’t consider Elle’s Bistro to be a brunch place, as it is in many ways a classic, family-run diner catering to the downtown lunch crowd. They serve the typical milkshakes and all-day breakfast, burgers and home-cooked meals. They also serve some less-than-typical stuff, like peanut butter burgers…

Fish ‘n Chips at Katch Seafood
Katch Seafood Scotia Square Mall (and other locations) Rating: Meh/Good (Rating Scale: WTF, Meh, Good, Some Good, Right Some Good!) I reviewed The Battered Fish back in 2013, but since then (last year, to be precise) The Battered Fish was bought by Pizza Girls who rebranded it to Katch Seafood. There are several locations (Waterfront,…

Fish and Chips at Fredie’s Fantastic Fish House (Revisited)
Fredie’s Fantastic Fish House 8 Oland Crescent (Bayer’s Lake) Rating: Good/Some Good (Rating Scale: WTF, Meh, Good, Some Good, Right Some Good!) I originally reviewed Fredie’s Fantastic Fish House in 2014, at which time I declared: “Okay… so this might be the best fish ‘n’ chips I’ve ever had”. Since then, I’ve largely considered it to be…

HFX Ramen Quest Semi-Finals: Truly Tasty vs. Studio East
After a hiatus for some summer content, the chill fall air beckons the return of the Halifax Ramen Quest. As our bodies prepare for hibernation, there’s nothing better than a steaming, hearty bowl of noodle soup to battle the November rain. After 6 preliminary rounds, I’ve narrowed down the top 4 to compete in the…

East of East Dining Series: South End “China Town” Food Crawl
Halifax has never been known as the most multicultural city in Canada, but anyone who lives downtown has probably noticed a bit of a shift, with more and more businesses catering to the growing Asian population. At the foot of Barrington and Inglis, there are signs of growth, indicative of a potential South End Halifax…
