Arguably the BEST poutine in town.  Gets the 5 stars for having veggie gravy that tastes awesome!  A little salty for my liking, but hey, it's poutine!
I only wish they were open more regular during the week, have gone several times during the week…More »

Hamachi does it right.  I'm a fan of all their establishments, but this one is by far my favorite.
You want to go out for dinner with your pals, but a couple don't like Sushi, you have a vegan in the group and perhaps someone with a food allergy.  No…More »

Good news, Big Leagues just signed on their liquor permit to take over the Colby Ale House on Portland Street (Zellers mall).  The Colby is moving down the strip mall to where the dollar store used to be.  Now you can have your wings and schnitzel…More »

This is our "hang over" place.  Not necessarily from a party hang over, but from jet-lag, busy previous day and overslept, etc.
I can always count on their food to be consistently good, reasonably prices and the staff are usually excellent.
We sit in…More »

Fantastic Greek food and more!  Atmosphere is great, open and airy, nicely lite with a Greek decor.
The Ekmek (dessert) is great, save room!
Sunday brunch never disappoints.
Staff is always friendly and accommodating to diet restrictions.

Located on the corner of Blowers St and Argyle St this little piece of Greece is a must visit.  The outside-inside decor gives you the feeling of sitting outside on a warm sunny day, despite the weather in the real world outside.  A great place to…More »

Heart attack on a plate = beef brisket poutine.  Picture fries, smothered in fatty beef brisket, cheese curds and gravy. -drool-  My arteries need a test tube cleaner after this meal, but oh so delicious and comforting.

They put steak spice on their potato skins!!!  Yum.
This place has been on Waverly rd for as long as I've been in Dartmouth (over 20 yrs now) and it's become quite a land mark.  They have fantastic daily specials, and if you want one of the best…More »

New this month to Cole Harbour is aptly named Cole's Restaurant.  Cozy, comfortable and relaxing.  Seat yourself (we took the back corner booth) and browsed their menu.  Burgers are their claim to fame, so we had to try one.  Me I was tempted by the…More »
