I live near my favourite pizza place in the world, home of the Best Donair Sub Ever, the kind of donair a girl could marry and live happily ever after with. It’s an independently owned joint, not part of a chain like the ones that fill your mailbox with flyers touting Family Specials. I’ve been […]

It’s visitor-from-away time for me, and with it, sightseeing and shopping in places usually off my beaten track. We’re in Historic Properties, browsing in the many tiny shops. As we come out onto the Granville Mall and into the lower level of Barrington Place Shops, I’m thinking ahead to an eatery somewhere between a pub […]

Halloween is coming and along with planning costumes, we’re thinking of the food to serve at our All Hallow’s night parties—graveyard cakes, dried cherry scabs, witch’s fingers and bat wings. But we Atlantic Canadians don’t have to look very far to find some unusual food that, to those who are unfamiliar with it, may seem […]

Trinity is the third restaurant to occupy the space in the Park Victoria apartment complex on South Park, the first being the legendary le Bistro, the second the short-lived Spice Urban Grill. It’s a great location on the front corner of the building, allowing room for a summer patio and a great view of the […]

It is just like Christmas morning the day the satellite man comes to install the dish at my house and with it, the Food Network. Beside myself with excitement, all channel surfing comes to a screeching halt as I set up camp in front of the tube, watching the FN until my brain is saturated […]

A few short years ago, we didn’t have any Thai restaurants, now we have a trio of them—oh, how our taste buds have grown. Talay Thai is the newest restaurant to Thai one on, down the south end of Barrington Street in the former Clay Cafe digs. Not that the interior would give any hints […]

We watch our southern neighbours get pummeled by the likes of Rita and Katrina with new empathy, new understanding and a new respect for the force of these storms that we once thought could not happen here. Juan did not come ashore two years ago with the same fury as these girls did, but essential […]

Halifax has more sushi spots than you can shake a sheet of nori at, which makes it hard to imagine how one manages to stand out from the other. But Milamodo succeeds quite nicely, with a two-step business model: First by locating itself outside the downtown core, and then quietly going about business. The only […]

I have never entered a restaurant and wanted to like it so much as when I first set foot inside Vivo. This small bistro is absolutely lovely. Rich colours, dark woods, and gilt-rimmed mirrors and picture frames give it an opulent look without losing the casual bistro charm. Plenty of natural light floods the dining […]

While the myth about not eating oysters in the months with no “r” in their names is just that, a myth, there’s no doubt that oysters are at their best in fall and winter. This is because they spawn over the summer and, like many of us during breeding season, become unpleasantly soft and mushy. […]

Fast food outlets are pretty slick. They provide our multitasking, overworked, commuting car-bound asses with cheap, fast, tasty food like burgers and fries. Then we get fat from eating the greasy food, but they come to our rescue again with choices labelled “Healthy” or “Lean and Green.” We truly have become a fast food culture, […]

Autumn in Nova Scotia is a pretty spectacular season—not only do we have the most brilliant and breathtaking foliage fall colours, but it’s harvest time, a time when our fields give up the crunchiest apples, the sweetest squash and, of course, the best dried out cornstalks to use for your front door Halloween decorations. And […]
