Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Halifax

"If the descriptive “tea room” suggests crust-free finger sandwiches and elegant teapots of Earl Grey, you’re in for a surprise. This landmark diner, which opened in 1958, leans towards hefty breakfast items that will last you beyond lunch, such as the Lumberjack Plate (2 eggs, 3 slices of bacon, 2 sausages, ham, spiced hash browns and toast) and the easily shareable vegetable and egg breakfast burrito – topped with cheddar and chipotle sour cream. Diners certainly get their money’s worth."

"A post shared by Jaime Kelley (@takingbitesandcatchingflights). This iconic restaurant offers delicious breakfast and lunch dishes guaranteed to cure you from the Sunday Scaries. Sandwiches start at just $5 with breakfast items starting at $6.55 – such a steal!"

"Annie’s Place Café is a nice break from the busy Spring Garden shopping district. It offers an all-day breakfast and daily specials. It is a cash only café, so you may want to head to the bank before dropping in for a bite to eat with the kids."

"Offering an all day breakfast menu starting at 7 am, Annie’s is a great place to dine solo or with a group- they offer bookings for small breakfast meetings of 8-10 people."

"Steve-O-Reno's serves up tasty breakfast items (the huevos rancheros on weekends can't be missed), pastries and smoothies from its shop on Brunswick Street downtown. This petite café has been a Halifax institution for more than 20 years. Should you find yourself there later in the day try some of their baked goods such as the new tiramisu squares which have a chocolate crumb base, espresso almond filling and a cream cheese icing."

"1536 Brunswick St, Halifax – Downtown/Spring Garden Road area. Steve-O-Reno’s has been around for over 20 years, so if anyone knows coffee, it’s them.

"One of the newest to the brunch game (yes, it’s sadly only available on the weekends) is beer bar Hopyard. Their brunch menu, like their regular menu, is full of interesting flavour profiles. Dishes like the pork belly sweet potato hash with salsa verde or the breakfast bowl with hash, eggs, bacon, rise and grind sauce, Cheerio brittle and crispy kale."

"Head down to the Seaport Farmer’s Market for healthy organic breakfasts from Norbert’s, Halifax’s first and only farm to table eatery. You can enjoy your breakfast in their seating area or take it up top to the market’s roof top terrace. Delicious, organic food with a view of the ocean?"

"What do you get when you combine the best shopping in the region, a strong sense of community and a commitment to the environment?. An interesting place to visit AT Dartmouth Crossing they know that when people think of it they think great shopping and entertainment, but they are also working hard to be good neighbours and friends of the environment. It’s kind of a new idea, but they like it, and they live by it every day."

"Fill your plate with a portion of the delicious 12oz Delmonico steak served with a bérnaise sauce and jojos (potato wedges). The restaurant’s soaring high ceilings, arresting furnishings, bare-brick walls, and open kitchen make it a space worth whiling time away in. Its location in Halifax’s North End is where one of its signature cocktails, ‘the North Ender,’ derives its name."

"Stop by the Agricola Street Brasserie to experience French-inspired seasonal cuisine and you will not be disappointed. Not only does the Brasserie serve exceptional diner with original flare, but they also have a killer brunch. We highly recommend trying the seafood here as they pledge to source all of their seafood sustainably!"
