East Coast Carnivores

Just because I don't eat meat doesn't mean I don't know where to find it...

Category: Steakhouses

7/28/2011

Since it's unlikely that I'll ever be dining at this new steakhouse as a vegetarian, I'll toss up my review based on a visit for drinks and a couple of apps yesterday in this beautifully rejuvenated piece of downtown history.

The space truly is a…More »

Update - 8/18/2011

I'm about to fill you in on the best vegetarian main dish to be found in the city. Are you ready? You're so not ready. Okay fine. You're ready:

The Brooklyn Warehouse's stuffed peppers dinner is without a doubt the best vegetarian main course I've…More »

5576 Fenwick St
Halifax, NS B3H 1P8
(902) 492-2344

Categories: Burgers, Diners

3/23/2011

For whatever reason, I tend to forget all about Darrell's. Well, probably because I drank too much in college but still...the point is that I only make it into this south end diner about once or twice a year. After the last visit though, that's about…More »

Halifax, NS B3J 0B1
(902) 423-8816

Category: Canadian (New)

12/19/2010

It took me a long time to give The Press Gang a chance but after one visit it immediately became my preferred fine dining choice in the city. From the intimate atmosphere to the drool-worthy food, this is one place where the price tag is completely…More »

Kings, NS B0P 1T0
(902) 542-5555

Categories: Gastropubs, Breweries

12/2/2010 First to Review

If The Port Pub were located within the HRM, it would be the kind of place where hundreds would wait in line just to get their chance to enjoy the incredible menu and welcoming service. But...since it's not...all you need to do is make the quick…More »

Category: Steakhouses

4/28/2012

Guys? I apologize in advance. This is going to be an essay but I can't help myself. I just have a lot to say about the Grill at Cut after underestimating them for a very long time. Honestly? Some of the reviews were keeping me away...but in this case…More »
