We walked in and they said, "Sorry we are done now, they just told me we are done." Mind you, we did not arrive 5 min before close. They immediately went and turned off the open sign. Quite rude, and if they were going to close early, they shouldn't have their open sign still turned on or the hours of operation listed on the front door.

The airy, but cozy, space is in the perfect location for me, in between my office and the spot I'd be hitting for pub trivia later that evening. We weren't sat at the bar, but our table had a nice view of the action in the kitchen. The menu is compact and efficient, but still has a broad enough selection that there's going to be something for you no matter your tastes. Creative insertions of Middle Eastern influence show up in the likes of kafta meatballs, za'atar fries and arugula fattoush, while the rest of the menu takes inspiration from around the globe to freshen up comfort food classics. You can only hope that you're in for a treat when you're confronted with a menu that you wish you could have in its entirety, and we weren't disappointed for our first taste of aFrite. Our meal started off with an order of the kafta meatballs. The herbacious hit of their seasoning was just like that of their skewered brethren, and the meatballs had a fantastic sear on them from their cast iron cooking. Veg and flatbread accoutrements and a tzatziki drizzle prettied up the plate and added flavour and contrast, but let's not kid ourselves, you're getting this dish for dem balls. I opted for the fried chicken katsu for my main, and while less technically involved than some of its peers on the menu, the dish was well-executed and hit the spot. The cutlet of fried chicken a thick, but not too thick, breading whose crispiness held up in the face of multiple sauces and the steam of the rice below. Gochujang mayo brought a hint of hint and creaminess, some sweet-savoury contrast came care of the kecap manis, while the ponzu cucumbers brightened things up. My wife's wild mushroom falafel burger was a fun and creative vegetarian dish in an age of forgettable Beyond/Impossible offerings used to check the 'vegetarian dish' column on a menu. The mushrooms added some umami to the falafel patty, and the overall package with the fresh veg was like a fancy falafel wrap. The fries that came with the falafel burger almost stole the show for me. They were peak-frite with an ultra-crispy exterior that told a tale of a blanching plus double fry cook. Sadly, but unsurprisingly, there was no room for dessert! aFrite is a great little neighbourhood joint with the heart and soul to match its creative and well-executed menu, and in an age of corporatized, Instagram-bait restaurants, it deserves your dollars and your taste buds deserve their food.

Husband got the donair eggs benny which we both liked, though donair meat could have been a bit more seasoned.

On my most recent visit they offered a breakfast skillet so I confused them with changing my order. LOL It's simple, homey, cosy, popular with the locals and military crowd I find. The food is decent, nothing unique or exciting, but we always leave satisfied, and prices are good. Free parking in the lot as this is in the Chebucto Inn Motel.

I love a greasy diner for breakfast…read more I love it even more when I can get that breakfast for under $5.00. Yhea you heard me: 2 eggs, choice of meat, breakfast potatoes and toast for $4.90. This place is nothing fancy. They don't serve fancy coffee but the coffee they serve is delicious diner coffee (the kind that will have you gulping it down to get to that second/third cup). No fancy jellies for your toast (strawberry and orange marmalade) and while we're on the subject of toast your choice will be just as "unfancy": white or wheat. The service will be fast. The food will come out just as fast. It will be cooked short ordered just the way you like it. Just plain breakfast. Just plain good!
