Have to say I have had the Kirkland ones from Costco in the past and they are either old or just inferior. chilibeanpaste Sun, 19 May 2013 13:55:15 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/875800#8083703 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/875683#8079599 Jane's daughter quietly opened Edna this week on Gottingen St and it is quite good, it's going to be more concentrated on a fluctuating menu based on local seasonalavailability HalifaxRetales Thu, 16 May 2013 23:10:07 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/875683#8079599 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/898790#8024827 Looking for a "dough boy"recipe.

Terry is a fantastic chef and nobody runs a restaurant like Simone. I heard they are now at Cafe Chianti in Halifax. Apparently Terry launches his new menu May 1. Can't wait to try it!

We will be taking our Goddaughter to Chives. She has been there before and said the food was fantastic. We have 6 nights in Halifax, so plan to try other recommended restaurants. The link to Cape Breton is very helpful. Will be staying 4 days with friends near Port Hood and wanted to take them to a nice place for lunch, so have lots to choose from. We are really looking forward to our trip. marshaw Tue, 09 Apr 2013 20:36:36 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/885921#8008793 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/897275#8001944 I will be taking my husband, elderly mom and best friend on a cruise in the beginning of June. We'll be in Quebec City, Nova Scotia(Halifax and Sydney), and Charlottetown, PEI. We'll have a car in each town. I'm looking for good food in an amazing location. I'm glad to drive a distance. Really, there are so many terrific places to see in all these locations I am looking for THE place to eat lunch to focus our drives. Thanks! pronountrouble Sat, 06 Apr 2013 01:36:51 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/897275#8001944 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/896355#7987938 We were stuck for a restaurant last Thursday and found ourselves at Pars Restaurant on the north end of Robie Street in Halifax. What a find! Great olive and walnut appetizer along with a unique hummus quite unlike any other we have tsted. Freshly baked barbari bread to go with it and we ordered more. The chef is very particular about his bread and cannot be corerced to make more than he requires.for the restaurant's usage. We had wanted to get some to take home. We had 4 different main courses, all were very good but the Chicken with Pomegranata Molasses was outstanding. Service is excellent and friendly, the place is spotless. Prices were extremely reasonable. Two thumbs up for this one.

Wondering whether Malpeque oysters are in season? If not, are there suggestions for other local seafood that is in season?

How is the Claddagh Oyster House? Still good? Is it the best place to go for Oysters? trane Wed, 27 Mar 2013 16:29:59 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/887618#7981437 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/855570#7971142 I would try Gio at the Prince George Hotel and Stories at the Halliburton Inn. eveee Fri, 22 Mar 2013 17:34:58 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/855570#7971142 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/892134#7955835 I never go there for lunch but should oh yeah I know why I don't go I always feel compelled to drink the Ringwood but at Supper time yum and the Gingerbread is top notch HalifaxRetales Fri, 15 Mar 2013 16:32:22 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/892134#7955835 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/893080#7942317 Have you tried Bulk Barn? the one near the exit to 103 is the one I use and their manager is super involved. She would probably get it in for you if you ask nicely.

We'll probably stop there overnight, so we're probably looking for one dinner and maybe one breakfast. We might hit the City Market for lunch - good idea? I've seen the numerous recommendations for Lemongrass, here and in other topics. I also noticed a message on the Opera Bistro website at www.operabistro.com announcing their return for a new experience at their former venue. I'm not sure what that means. I'd welcome any additional info and recommendations about these and other restaurants in Saint John. Not worried about price, no dietary restrictions, we like many different foods, and would be particularly interested in places that do justice to the abundant local seafood. TIA! nsxtasy Sun, 03 Mar 2013 19:27:57 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/775241#7929767 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/891685#7918974 A cottage roll is, as you know, a cured raw whole pork shoulder. There are many factors at play in the choices to cook this item, and without knowing the brand and the brining used then it is hard to say to soak or not to soak. If the intention is to cook this item with vegetables, then a water soak of at least 24 hours with one change of water could be a good idea. Alternately, a slow poach for 1 hour before raosting with the veg could also be a goo didea to remove any excess salt. meathead2 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 20:46:48 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/891685#7918974 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/891450#7910555 So another burger spot opened up in Halifax yesterday. I have fond memories of meals at The Works in Ottawa, and hope the Halifax version is as good. Has anyone tried it yet? I thought about going in yesterday (love the idea of free food with $$ to Feed NS) but figured it would be crazy.

My partners was better because the burger was slathered in BBQ sauce. But very pricey and that noisy and silly entry routine is childish.

Check out Sully's on Novalea. They steam the bread so it's not so dry and I could almost swear I tasted caraway in it. I was disappointed in the meat at Hali Deli. The texture reminded me more of a precooked ham than a smoked brisket. I don't know why they don't smoke their own brisket. There were two types of mustard at the table: deli style and ballpark yellow. existential_crisis Sun, 03 Feb 2013 14:51:20 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/880508#7871492 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/858548#7831969 magic chef, I made it to Freddies, and the seafood chowder is exactly like you have described. Aside from the large chunks of seafood, I really enjoyed the thin consistency. Thanks for the recommendation. analysisparalysis Wed, 16 Jan 2013 16:22:26 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/858548#7831969 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/877962#7808262 Khotso98: I am truly impressed! I am a Newfoundlander who has moved away (for now!) but love to cook the recipes I learned as a kid. Hubby and I also love to explore when we visit and mostly, we love to eat. THIS is a great resource you have compiled.
