DRIFT | My Top-Rated Halifax Brunch Spot

📍 Drift Restaurant | Where Maritime Charm Meets Gourmet Brunch Nestled inside the Autograph Collection Hotel, Drift isn’t just about stunning interiors (think nautical wood and rope accents—a nod to Halifax’s seafaring roots). Its brunch game is strong, making it my No.1 brunch pick in the city! 🍳 BRUNCH HIGHLIGHTS 🦞 NS Lobster Bisque Creamy, rich, and packed with lobster chunks—but warning: leans salty. Pair it with their fresh-baked sourdough to balance it out. 🍳 Haddock Omelette Arnold Bennett The showstopper! Silky eggs + fluffy smoked haddock + velvety potato layers, topped with hollandaise & pickled radish for a bright finish. (Found a close recipe here if you wanna DIY!) 🥞 French Toast Meh. Basically thick toast + maple-blueberry compote (the hollandaise drizzle was… a choice?). Skip unless you really want something sweet. 🍹 Fresh Juices Green Juice (kale, apple, ginger) & Orange Juice—cold-pressed and vibrant. ☀️ BREAKFAST BITES (Slightly simpler, but solid) 🌊 The Full Drifter British-style breakfast with black pudding (blood sausage!?), deviled tomatoes, and beans—wild for Canada, but fun to try! 🐟 Haddock Fish Cake Flaky fish + sundried tomatoes & chickpeas—a lighter option. 🍓 Fresh Fruit Berries Star fruit (!!) mixed with seasonal berries—refreshing. 🥑 The Hipster (Avocado Toast) / 🥚 Benedict Standard but well-executed. 💰 DAMAGE ~$30+ CAD per person (shoutout to NS’s reasonable prices!) Hotel guests: Charge to your room for maximum laziness. 📍 1709 Lower Water St #102, Halifax Pro tip: Book a window seat for harbor views! 🌟 WHY IT’S WORTH IT: ✔️ That omelette. Enough said. ✔️ Fresh, local ingredients (lobster, haddock, berries) ✔️ Chic maritime vibes—perfect for #BrunchGoals pics #HalifaxEats #BrunchKing #CanadianFoodie
