🍳 Halifax Brunch Challenge – Elle’s Bistro Review!

📍 Elle’s Bistro 1678 Barrington St, Halifax This old-school diner serves heaping plates of comfort food at 1980s prices – where $50 feeds two and leftovers are guaranteed. 🏆 Why It’s Special ✔ Portion distortion – French toast slabs, poutine mountains, eggs for days ✔ Retro vibes – vinyl booths, checkered floors, always a weekend line ✔ Menu bible – 10+ pages of pancakes, omelets, waffle combos 🥞 What We Ordered 🥓 Old School Breakfast ($10.95) ★★★☆☆ Sausage, eggs, hash browns – basic but belly-filling. 🧀 Breakfast Poutine ($10.95) ★★★★☆ Cubed potatoes, cheese curds, gravy – hangover hero. 🍌 Banana Foster Toast ($17.95) ★★★★☆ Thick brioche, caramelized bananas, canned strawberries – share or regret. ☕ Coffee ($2.75) ★★★★★ Bottomless, strong, diner-grade fuel. 💡 Pro Tips ✔ Best for: Budget brunch, big appetites, nostalgia seekers ✔ Order hack: Split one sweet + one savory plate (portions are insane) ✔ Skip: Fancy coffee (stick to classic drip) 💰 Damage: ~$25 per person #HalifaxEats #BrunchSpot #ComfortFood
