Alteregos Cafe & Catering — Restaurant in Halifax

Fantastic little cafe on Gottingen Street. Very warm, cozy room, I really enjoyed my visit. I tried the London Fog tea at the barista’s suggestion and I’m glad I did: it was wonderful, as was the bacon cheeseburger. The ingredients were as fresh as if I had gotten it at some expensive, upscale restaurant on the waterfront- except it tasted better and at half the price.

Alteregos Cafe is actually quite an important business in the community. Not only does it serve excellent coffees, teas, and food at prices everyone can afford, but it also takes in travelers needing an inexpensive place to stay, for the cafe is attached to a backpackers hostel.

(Speaking of which, the young lady who made my tea deserves a raise in pay: besides preparing my tea, she also made my burger AND checked in a bunch of guests. All things of which she did amiably and professionally.) The only other place I’ve enjoyed eating at as much as Alteregos is The Henry House.

**Added shortly after: This is NOT a “sketchy area”. I thought it was a perfectly lovely area; the few people I passed were friendly, there’s some other great businesses open on both sides of the street, and there’s some brilliant old homes I took pictures of as I headed down Cunard Street. Maybe it used to be bad, but it’s a nice neighborhood to walk around and explore now because I had a great time. (Also, the breathtaking St Patrick’s Church needs a community fundraiser though... it’s too beautiful to stand silent all week except for two hours on...

Really disappointed in the amount of wast consumed in one meal. We ate in so that we didn’t have to take any plastic away but the shake came in single use plastic with a straw and then the only thing that was re usable was the tray my burrito came on which if this is to stop the spread of germs then the trays gunna do it alone. I hope they can address the waste problem then this would be a healthy eco conscious place to dine. This is a list of all the items that would of been thrown away in one meal.

Tin foil wrap Paper bag for fries Single use plastic cup for tomatoes ketchup Single use cup Single use cup lid Single use straw Napkins.

Really if I you ate in all you need would be a napkin at a far. It’s 2020 and we are in a very developed country, We shouldn’t be this wasteful.

Food was tasty!...

K so I work near here and go in all the time but yesterday I woke up literally having dreamt of an oat milk peppermint mocha with an extra shot, which is crazy cause I'm not a mocha kind of person but tis the season I guess. Like I don't even think I LIKE peppermint mochas but hey it seemed like a premonition. Anyways I told the lovely person behind the counter this and they made me literally the drink of my dreams like it tasted just like in my dream and how did you even DO that. It was perfect and now that is all I want,...
