My favourite places to eat in Halifax. It doesn't matter what kind of food, it's just the places I would like to cater my life.

 1. Fid Resto

1569 Dresden Row
Halifax, NS B3J 2K4
(902) 422-9162

Category: Restaurants

I had a fantastic meal here. My waiter knew her stuff and was great at recommending wines. I love that the place is committed to serving local and in season foods.  

I was a little underwhelmed by my appetizer - the goat cheese with apples and…More »

Halifax, NS B3K 4C8
(902) 423-5400
5.0 star rating
  2/12/2011

I remember when Fred opened and people talked about it being too gentrified and uppity for the North End, even for Halifax. Those people were totally wrong. This is one of my favourite places in the city.  My hairdresser Krista is amazing. The space…More »

I love the baked goods. Their pain au chocolat is one of my favourite things in life. And I really dig their breads. Their coffee, however, is so-so to not so good.  If they could make a better cup of coffee, I would probably move in.

You guys! Apparently the nutella muffin is back! This is huge. It's my official muffin.  

I like more than the muffin though. I'm a big fan of the huevos rancheros and have trouble ordering anything else (I have and I've enjoyed it, but I can't recall…More »

Dartmouth, NS B2Y

4.0 star rating
  1/25/2011

I don't actually love Dartmouth, but I do love TIBS. I sometimes feel like I'm eating a giant piece of chocolate wrapped in a stick of butter, but that's okay. I know what I'm getting into and it is the tastiest stick of butter around.

Maybe I've…More »

Category: Ethnic Food

4.0 star rating

Surprisingly tasty! The place looks kind of sketchy on the outside - I don't think the outside or the inside has been updated since it opened. But don't let that sketchy exterior fool you! Inside is tasty, tasty Chinese food.  

Is it authentic? I have…More »

I'm not the first, and I certainly won't be the last, to extol the virtues of a cinnamon roll from Mary's. In fact, it's kind of cliché to rave about the warm, doughy, cinnamony goodness that is the Mary's cinnamon roll. They've probably won more…More »

Category: Coffee & Tea

3.0 star rating
  3/18/2011

I've only visited this particular location once, so I'm prepared to go back and give it another go. Based on this visit on a Sunday morning, the staff seemed a little less than into their jobs - I felt like I was causing them trouble because they…More »

 9. Just Us!

5896 Spring Garden Road
Halifax, NS B3H
(902) 423-0856
4.0 star rating
  3/18/2011

The coffee is good - not my favourite, but still some of the best in the city - and I enjoy the baked goods and samosas. The update to the downstairs seating area is great - more open and more places to sit (I haven't been upstairs lately, so I don't…More »

I did a prix fixe lunch here and it was tasty times. This place is definitely going on my list of places to eat when I have a paying job.

For $17 (not incl tax and tip), I got a pretty looking tray of a cold dish (glass noodle salad), a hot dish…More »

Two for one drinks, y'all. Do I need to say more? Okay, I will. The Monday two for one caprinhana (I can't say it or spell it, but I do like to drink it) is possibly one of the best happy hour type drink specials in the city. FYI: the drink packs a…More »

4.0 star rating

Being at Sugah! is literally like being a kid in a candy story. It's a candy store! Full of chocolates they make themselves! And ice cream they make! And then they'll put the stuff they make into that ice cream!

Does this review warrant all the…More »

For starters, any place that lets me say "zucchini panini" is a good place in my books. And when they back that rhyming sandwich up with something seriously tasty? Well, you've pretty much nailed it when it comes to lunch.

But for reals and for true,…More »
