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

Best Hamburger in Halifax

I like Darrell's but its an atmosphere thing as well, they did switch over to fresh Nova Scotia Beef this summer which has upped them a notch

Cheese Curds is good not great
FlipBurger was not up to snuff I found it dull and dry
Relish yet to be yet

MY 2 faves are Ace Burger owned by Brooklyn Warehouse
and the purist super cheap classic at Westcliff

Best pizza place in Halifax

My current list is

Salvatore's
Piatto
Dmitri's

but that are all different
Dmitri's is my fave for a traditional maritime style pizza

still something charming about the original at Sal's

and piatto has good pizza and good service

Birthday dinner in Dartmouth - need recs

my instincts were Downtown Dartmouth with Nectar and La Perla

Ciceros out in Porter Lake is supposed to be good

people rave about Vines in Cole Harbour but I have only ever found it adequate

Talay Thai in Halifax is tasty but I have never been to the one by Colby Village
