Summerside is a small (but mighty) city so I've included places no further than a 20 minute drive away. Megan Beairsto, Executive chef at Open Eats, Summerside, P.E.I., says: Of course when all else falls through, we can be found at The Canteen enjoying the fruits of our labour. Special date night? It's Bar Kismet for cocktails and killer housemade pasta and seafood dishes, or back to our all-time favourite restaurant, Edna, where we sit at the bar and order all the appetizers while sipping on local wine. If we're heading over the bridge to Halifax, it's Mother's Pizza in the Hydrostone or we grab fish and chips and house-brewed beers at The Henry House. Sunny days call for patio beers and snacks at Stillwell Beergarden on Spring Garden Road in Halifax, or the Canteen team and I stay close to work and cross the street and have a few pints at Lake City Cider.Īt dinnertime, if my kids are involved, it's Yeah Yeahs Pizza to go and a few North Brewing Beers in the backyard with friends. They now how many locations across HRM and despite expanding, the food is still super fresh and homemade. If we have limited time, we grab a shawarma plate from Mezza. If it's rainy out and we need comforting, I Love Pho on the Bedford highway ticks off all the boxes! The owner, Thu, makes a mean Bun Bo Hue that is possibly the best soup you'll ever have in your life. Steamed or pan fried, their dumplings are delicious and their spicy potato salad is something I often try to recreate. On Mondays when we do our running around, our favourite lunch spot is Qiu Brothers Dumplings on Barrington Street in Halifax. Their scones with clotted cream pair perfectly with mimosas! If my kids have any say, we head to Fans in Dartmouth for a Dim Sum feast turnip cakes, tripe and dumplings galore! If it's a greasy spoon breakfast, we go to the Pleasant Street Diner (also in Dartmouth). ![]() If I'm looking for a leisurely brunch, I head over to Edna in Halifax. Renée Lavallée, Owner and chef at The Canteen, Dartmouth, N.S., says: John's best version of a NYC dive bar with great people and great live music every night from traditional to classic rock to blues. Sample great local craft beer and the fine charcuterie of Chef Shaun Hussey and his team. Then, have a little relax at your accommodation and head to Chinched Restaurant and Deli. After that, an easy walk around Quidi Vidi Lake brings you back downtown for some leisurely afternoon shopping: Posie Row & Co, Fred's Records, The Craft Council of Newfoundland and Labrador and dozens of other downtown shops provide a great afternoon of " twacking". John's traditional music scene and you probably won't leave until last call.įor day two, head to Quidi Vidi Fish & Chips for the world's greatest hangover cure, overlooking Quidi Vidi Harbour. Head up to their sister property - O'Reillys - for pints and the best of St. Grab lunch at Mussels on the Corner, a new downtown eatery specializing in Newfoundland organic mussels. Stroll to the very nearby Bannerman Park and enjoy your snack of St. John the Baptist and The Rooms and grab a bagel at Georgetown Bakery. Stroll up to the Georgetown neighbourhood of St. Then take a hike around the North Head Trail and into downtown. John's, start by taking in Canada's first sunrise at the top of Signal Hill with a coffee from Battery Cafe. It's where they would head if they had just 48 hours in their cities this summer.
