🍳 DRIFT | The Best Brunch in Halifax, Hands Down!
As the signature restaurant of the Muir Hotel, Drift delivers not only stunning interior design—think rich wood accents and nautical rope details (a perfect nod to Halifax's harbor roots)—but also some of the most memorable brunch dishes in the city. 🥘 Brunch Highlights 🦞 NS Lobster Bisque A rich, creamy soup packed with generous chunks of fresh lobster. The white sauce is velvety and indulgent—though a touch too salty for some palates. Still, it’s a must-try for seafood lovers. 🍳 Haddock Omelette Arnold Bennett The showstopper! This dish is so good, you’ll want to recreate it at home. The eggs are flawlessly silky, layered with smooth mashed potatoes and thick pieces of haddock. Topped with hollandaise and cherry radish for a bright finish, it’s brunch perfection. (Fun fact: The closest recipe we found is here!) 🥞 French Toast A bit underwhelming—thick-cut toast lightly grilled and drizzled with maple syrup and blueberry compote. The addition of hollandaise was… unexpected? Not bad, just unusual. 🍹 Fresh Juices The green juice and orange juice are freshly squeezed, vibrant, and refreshing—no bottled stuff here! ☀️ Breakfast Options While not as standout as brunch, the breakfast menu still holds its own. 🌊 The Full Drifter (English Breakfast) A twist on the classic Canadian breakfast, this version includes black pudding (blood sausage), black beans, and deviled tomato—definitely an acquired taste but worth trying for adventurous eaters! 🐟 Haddock Fish Cake Flaky fish paired with sun-dried tomatoes and chickpeas—a hearty, flavorful start to the day. 🍓 Fresh Fruit Berries A refreshing mix, including the occasional surprise like starfruit! 🥑 The Hipster (Avocado Toast) & 🥚 Benedict Solid choices, though not as memorable as the omelette or lobster bisque. 💰 Pricing & Experience At ~$30+ per person (after tax), Drift offers excellent value for the quality—especially by Nova Scotia standards. Hotel guests can conveniently charge meals to their room. 📍 1709 Lower Water St #102, Halifax, NS 😋 That omelette is life-changing 🍳 🦞 Lobster bisque = rich indulgence 🧈 🍹 Fresh juices = morning boost 💚 🌊 Nautical vibes meet gourmet food ⚓ 🍓 Starfruit surprise in the fruit bowl ✨ 💰 Great value for hotel dining 👌 📍 Waterfront views + great food 🏙️ 📸 Insta-worthy dishes everywhere 📷 #HalifaxEats #BestBrunch #MuirHotel #SeafoodLover #CanadianCuisine #FoodieDestination #LobsterBisque #TravelEats
