Best Diners in Dartmouth

"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."

"Regularly voted as Halifax’s best breakfast, the Ardmore Tea Room is a classic diner that has been serving up comfort food since 1956.

In addition to typical diner fare like milkshakes and hot turkey sandwiches, the menu also features local dishes like ‘Newfoundland Steak’ and cod fish cakes."

"Originally built for the Canada Games in 2011, Haligonians were so in love with their new ice-skating rink at the Halifax Commons that they voted to make it permanent.
