    Visiting Halifax from New a Jersey n as usual checked my fav app YELP for breakfast / brunch restaurants n came upon cheeky neighbor diner w great reviews and a different menu. . And we did go there. 45 mins wait. They do not take reservations nor wait list. The old stand in line for your turn. Clean restaurant with friendly staff. So many delicious mouth watering items on menu. We settled on the The small breakfast w 2 eggs, toast n sausage, the classic w soft scrambled eggs, avocado n home fries , the pork belly breakfast sandwich, bibim not. The small breakfast was the usual w sausage that tasted so good. The pork belly sandwich was different but tasted so good. The beet was the bibim not was the best. Tasted so good w the crispy rice carrots, cucumber n the moist crunch pork belly. The seasoning/ sauce was so good. This was one of the best breakfasts I've eaten. Just the right portions. Forgot to mention about the yummy home fries. Thank you cheeky neighbor for a great brunch. Will be back next time we r in Halifax.

    Tried this out for brunch and it was terrific. Had the Chicken n' Waffles and my daughter had the Fried Chicken Po' boy. Both we're excellent. Friendly service, good portion sizes and reasonably priced. Parking was not an issue.

    Not to be arrogant, but I think I come from the best breakfast city (Austin, Texas) in the U.S., so I'm a hard breakfast eater to please when I travel. I have enjoyed a good number of breakfasts in Nova Scotia, and Cheeky Neighbor is head and shoulders above all the rest of the places I sampled. Cheeky Neighbor not only dishes up amazingly tasty and unusual food, but it has a bunch of other good things going for it too: great neighborhood vibe, NO reservations accepted, congenial wait staff and...wait for it....excellent prices! For example $5CAN for a pile of exquisitely tasty bespoke bacon. Debate no longer -this should be your #1 choice for an amazing breakfast in the Halifax area.

    Have been here six times since they opened and always enjoy it, but more for breakfast. This past weekend had a special that I had seen the day before on their Instagram - pancakes done up to look like the Simpson's donut! So pretty and fun! And it actually tasted good, where I could taste condensed milk in the icing so it was sweet, but not too sweet. Felt a bit like hell afterwards, but that's to be expected when you are basically having what is the same as an entire cake as a meal. LOL Staff are always friendly. This was the first time that I had arrived after 10am on a Saturday and I got the last table available without a wait. There was a line up people after me almost immediately though. Seems popular with neighborhood locals.

    While my wife and I were having a mini-staycation at The Muir to break up the dullness of…read moremid-winter in Nova Scotia, Drift was the obvious choice to break our fasts, with its lovely interior, top-notch food, and the ease of access to it, as The Muir's in-house restaurant. For our first of two breakfasts, we went down to the restaurant itself. We'd been for brunch once before a few years ago, and it's still as subtly elegant as ever, with the warm, light-toned wooden ceiling and accents, mid-century modern furniture and airy views of the Queen's Marque courtyard. I was eyeing up both their version of the Monte Cristo and the banger and hash, and decided to split them up over our two visits. Drift being Drift, this wasn't your standard Monte Cristo, loaded up as it was with quality ingredients like house-smoked turkey, confit pork belly, local gouda and brown bread French toast. The meats were wonderfully tender and flavourful, and the melted gouda brought its lightly salty sharpness. I was impressed by the thick, brown bread as it held up extremely well to the French toast treatment, and its notes of molasses doubled down on the sweetness of the maple syrup drizzle and dusting of confectioner's sugar. All told, it was a delicious mix of sweet and savoury. The sandwich also came with some cursory fresh fruit, a roasted tomato, and some criminally under-billed potatoes. Denoted simply as "grilled potatoes", I was just expecting some chunky home fries, but it was much fancier than that, more along the lines of a potato pavé, with delicately laminated layers of potato in a crisp rectangle of potato-y goodness. For our second breakfast (from Drift, the following day, not the hobbit-style second breakfast), we splurged a little more to get room service and make our check-out process a little easier. With just a half hour lead time, we had a rolling table brought to our room and unfurled in front of our window which overlooked the boardwalk and harbour. The banger and hash was a delicious mash-up of British and Nova Scotian food. The aforementioned grilled potatoes took the place of the "mash", while two, house-made sausages filled the other titular roll. The sausages had crisp casings, and the juicy interiors which had a pleasant , rustic grain to them. As much as I love a basic breakfast sausage, these were definitely next level! The dish didn't stop there though, as it had two, perfectly poached eggs, a hefty dollop of sweet and savoury baked beans, and for that Nova Scotian component, some green tomato chow to help cut through a very rich breakfast. We were also given two complimentary canelés, topped with groundcherries. Kudos to Drift's baker, as this was probably the best canelé I've ever had. The exterior was darkly caramelized without a hint of burnt taste, and was impossibly moist and airy on the interior. While this was a working staycation, our breakfasts at Drift were a wonderful component of a couple days spent (occasionally) relaxing and enjoying some of the treats that our city has to offer.

    The service and food is top notch ! The brown bread and honey butter will have you wanting to go…read moreback before you leave ! The salads and entrees are excellent!! Cocktails are creative and delicious . Wonderful setting for a special meal .
