So Much Fresh Fruit!

When people think of breakfast in Halifax, they think of three places - anywhere with a decent, cheap Brunch, Smitty's, and Cora's. While I do enjoy several places that feature excellent brunches, I love splurging on Cora's from time to time.

Cora's began in Quebec and has slowly expanded across the country. Their menu is nearly overwhelming, but the main dishes revolve around crepes, eggs, and fruit.

The crepes are incredible. You can get them loaded up with whipped cream and fruit or how about a crepeomelete au gratin?

There are lots of egg options, but most people swear by the creamy eggs benny.

Finally, there is fresh fruit. A lot of it. It really is staggering when you order a dish like the Seven of July - it features french toast, crepes, and a huge mound of fresh fruit. Strawberries, bananas, pineapple, grapes, melon, etc. All bursting with juices, crisp and delicious.

While the prices are slightly higher ($9-12 for most dishes), I think it's a worthwhile investment now and again!
