Ben "Brunch Evangelist" B.'s Profile
I've rarely met a diner I didn't like.
See All Lists
1. Irving Enfield Big Stop
Nothing makes the world of trucking more appealing to me than the gratuitous eating of food because who cares if you're gassy and bloated when you're driving across the country all by yourself in the middle of the night? Okay, so the appeal falls…More »
2. The Armview Restaurant & Lounge
Retro diner meets hip DJ lounge? Yeah, I can dig it. It's like taking an authentic journey back to the good ole days if those good ole days were far cooler than they actually were. You just kinda want to run up to people's tables and start awkward…More »
3. Bluenose II Restaurant
Star ratings aside, the Bluenose is fantastic for what it is. It's the go-to downtown diner for all-day breakfast, a handful of lovely Greek dishes, or a quick 'home-cooked' meal in the middle of a busy work day.
It's cheap, it's fast, it's friendly…More »
4. Palladium Family Restaurant
Popped into my new favourite neighbourhood greasey spoon with friends again tonight and had another great time! I'm incapacitated with 'The Fullsies' which is a term I just made up because no other would properly communicate just how full I am.

So I have to admit, it took a friend a whole lot of campaigning to get me to try this place. I don't… Read more »
5. Ardmore Tea Room
Maybe I'm a bit of a masochist, but when I wake up hungover, somebody better already know where we're going for brunch or there's going to be trouble. Yes - even in the worst state, I need to know that within minutes of showering, I will be queasily…More »
6. Darrell's Restaurant
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 »
7. Cosy Snack Bar
It's always cool to come cross a neighbourhood's greasy spoon, a hidden gem in the middle of suburban streets where peninsula folks can grab a satisfying, home-cooked bite without having to venture into the hustle and bustle of the city. The Cosy, as…More »
8. The Chickenburger
Oh jeez. I'm going to get some serious hateration over this review but I just really feel like I should weigh in with my take on this Bedford landmark. Before you start forming the angry mob to come burn down my house and kill my monster (wait - who…More »
9. Mary's Place Cafe
There's something just oh-so perfect about a no-frills breakfast joint, isn't there?
This morning I kicked off the week by having the most important meal of the day at this delightful Robie Street diner. At eight in the morning, we had our pick of…More »
10. South End Diner - CLOSED
You wouldn't know it from the outside, but the South End Diner is an adorable piece of the fifties right in the heart of the south end. Checkboard floors, bright red walls, black-and-whites of James Dean, fresh baked pies in glass stands...it's all…More »
11. Tom's Family Restaurant
I end up on Sackville Drive maybe three times a year and never while I'm looking for a great dining experience which is why I was surprised to hear some glowing recommendations for a diner called Tom's.
It's nothing to look at, tucked away in one of…More »
12. Jacky's Cafe
This is your basic office tower diner with an unexpected Chinese flare. Older folk come here for no-frills breakfast, office workers come for morning drip coffee, people-in-the-know come for dumplings and noodles.
I popped in to kill some time and…More »
13. Cole's Neighborhood Restaurant

Breakfast & Brunch
Back when we first moved into our house in Dartmouth, there wasn't a whole lot around for nice, local dining within a short driving distance. Even though this was only three years ago, I'm thrilled with the number of new businesses and new…More »
14. Annie's Place Cafe
Today was my first visit to Annie's Place after getting up at an ungodly hour, leading to an awkard wait for businesses in the Spring Garden area to unlock their doors. It's now located in a new spot (as opposed to the old location shown in the…More »
