I Live for Brunch!

See All Lists
Okay, maybe that's a little exaggerated, but brunch is my favourite weekend meal. Sometimes I simply want greasy breakfast. Sometimes I want to try something fresh and different. More often than not, I'm searching for my Sunday soulmate: the perfect eggs benny.

Most of my meals at this friendly neighbourhood establishment have been for brunch, so that's what this review will focus on.

The Mic Mac brunch special may just be a heart attack on a plate, but you'll go happy. It consists of a mouth-watering…More »

If you're in search of weekend brunch and want to try something new and different - this is it. I suggest reviewing the menu online before you go, because it's going to be a tough choice and you'll be ordering at the counter. Personally, I always…More »

Jane's is a quality brunch choice in HRM. This is no greasy spoon - it's a fresh spot with an innovative menu and delicious food. It's a busy spot on weekends, but it's a lovely airy space, and definitely worth the wait for their fabulous eggs benny.…More »

  Update - 3/27/2011 ROTD 8/20/2011

Okay so I finally made it to Trendz for brunch. Before I begin my review I will slightly humiliate myself with the following anecdote. I love eggs benny. Like unhealthy lust. But I also like variety. So I tend to struggle between ordering eggs benny…More »

    Trendz Cafe and Wine Bar is likely the best restaurant in Dartmouth you've never heard of. It's… Read more »

I love that Nectar has opened its doors in downtown Dartmouth. It has a hip, contemporary atmosphere. I really love the decor here. It pains me to only give a 3 star rating, as I've had some abolutely fabulous meals here, but I've also had some meh…More »

Emma's Eatery is a delightful part of the Dartmouth brunch scene. When you walk in, you are greeted with a bright, cheery and airy space. Not very big, but they maximize their space. It's been busy every visit, but I've never had to wait for a table.…More »

Awful. Just awful. I've only been here once, but that was way more than enough. I'd heard their brunch was pretty good, so I ordered eggs benny. First bite? Rancid. Putrid. Had to spit it out. The home fries were edible at best. Service was not great…More »

Yet another fab Yelp Elite Event! Huge kudos to Ben and Boneheads for going the extra mile with this one. When I first saw the invite for a 10am visit to a BBQ joint, I was slightly confused. But I knew something good was likely coming my way - it…More »

After reading Rhia P.'s brunch review for this spot, I decided it was time I finally paid a visit. I work close by, but never got around to trying it out.

I planned on a leisurely solo Sunday brunch before hitting up the Halifax Crafters Market. My…More »

I've been coming to MacAskill's for years, yet I've only had a few meals here. A couple of my girlfriends and I used to come on Friday nights for dessert and coffee. What kept us coming back? The quiet, comfortable lounge (prettier now due to a…More »
