Restaurant Review: Ela! Greek Taverna – Bayers Lake

April 8, 2012 by Suzie the Foodie 6 Comments

Since I actually got out of the house yesterday and hit the “town” (Bayers Lake) with my friend Emily who spoiled me rotten, driving me to all sorts of cool places… I just had to share this phenomenal foodie meal with you. We started our afternoon together with lunch at Ela! Greek Taverna. I have only heard […]

Chef’s Menu Restaurant, Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia

January 23, 2012 by Suzie the Foodie 3 Comments

Saturday night it was so cold and the roads were crappy. There was so much salt on the highway we could barely see out the front windshield by the time we got home. Because he is a sweetheart, Reg took me out shopping for my birthday but by the time we were done and made […]

Celebrating at True North Diner in Bedford, Nova Scotia

November 21, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 7 Comments

True North Diner is alongside the Bedford Highway by the Bedford Mall. It is a very convenient location that worked perfectly for Reg’s Mom Lorraine’s 80th birthday party! People from out of town could easily come and people in the city were not that far away to drop in for a bite and a hug. […]

A Day Downtown: Hydrostone, Heartwood Restaurant & Coburg Cafe

November 3, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 13 Comments

My friend Shelagh took me out for the day to explore more of Halifax. I live out of town and believe it or not, have never been to the Hydrostone Market. We had driven past it many times but I had never had the shopping experience. By the way, Shelagh is offering a free photography […]

Salt Shaker Deli, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia

The last time Jamie visited we drove down to Lunenburg and had coffee and cookies at Salt Shaker Deli. I have dreamed of those cookies ever since! I took this photo of them back in April. This time they did not have any by the time we showed up in late afternoon for a little bit […]

Restaurant Review: Chives Canadian Bistro, Halifax, Nova Scotia

September 19, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 8 Comments

For our 11th wedding anniversary Reg asked around for some suggestions for us to celebrate without breaking the bank but still have a fabulous meal. People kept recommending Chives Canadian Bistro in downtown Halifax on Barrington Street. I asked for people’s opinions on the restaurant via Facebook and Twitter and heard the same thing: fabulous fresh food […]

Maxwell’s Plum, Downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia

August 28, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

It never fails. We go downtown on a rare beautiful summer night in Halifax and end up at Maxwell’s Plum. When we moved to Nova Scotia our friends Mike & Jen moved at the same time. We all stayed at a hotel nearby while we searched for a place to live. In the meantime, we […]

Restaurant Review: Esquire Restaurant, Bedford, Nova Scotia

July 29, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 12 Comments

I have no idea how many times we have driven past Esquire Restaurant along the Bedford Highway. The place is known for their good hearty food for great prices. Not to mention their chowder and I LOVE chowder. Reg’s vacation was suddenly cut in half but we got some good news and I wanted to go […]

Reg and I spent yesterday in Halifax with his mom and wanted to treat her to some ice cream. My friend Kelly had emailed me and Jen these 2-for-1 coupons at Cold Stone Creamery (thanks Kelly, you rock!). We found one of their locations in Bedford and it was a beautiful warm sunny day yesterday, the […]

Restaurant Review: The Bicycle Thief, Halifax, Nova Scotia

We started our holidays last night with a culinary bang: dinner at The Bicycle Thief. Now you know we are on a tight budget this staycation but it was our dear friend Jen’s birthday and we had been wanting to go to this super popular restaurant for months. I was so happy to read the fabulously […]
