Almonak - Halifax

I worked here for my birthday brunch. I had the special a eggs benny with deer fitting and a flight of mimosas. the eier benny was probably one of the best I ever had. loved the mimosas except the carbon monoxide was not my favorite. service was good. coffee was great! menu was kreatiw. in any case would come back. bright, modern atmosphere. look at this place.

As a vegan I am in the regular about brunch. almonak far exceeded my expectations, the server was aware of vegan and gluten-free options. eating was fantastic, and they offer a flight of mimosas.

Not great quality or value for money. limited menu selection. getting a garden salad served with vinaiigrette for brunch is just strange. there are much better and cheaper options available.

Probably the best eier benedict I ever had, homemade biscuits was bombed, kartoffels were perfectly seasoned, salat was so light and fresh- highly recommended! our latte were so delicious and the staff was so beautiful, we got an icy americanan and pfefferminz mocha to go, which were also excellent.

We were recently at The Almonak for their first ever comedy night. We were really excited to go, as the cafe had been on our list for a few months. We arrived a few minutes early, and I have to say right from the first minute we walked in the door, the team all of them were absolutely excellent; friendly, warm, and chatty. We felt so welcomed in. You can tell that they've put a lot of thought into the physical space too. From the plants on the walls and the ceiling, the clean and pristine washrooms, the open concept kitchen, right down to the name plate on our table it felt like they were expecting us and that's a really awesome feeling and makes for such a great experience. The show itself was amazing. Such a great crowd and just the right size (in my opinion) with a good number of comedians. They did a great reminder at the beginning not to have loud conversations and to be respectful of the comedians. From the check-in at the door, to the protocol in-between comedians you can tell safety is a huge priority for them, too. One of the things I was most excited about was the select pub menu for the night. Excellent options, all of which were executed really well. My personal favourite was the cornbread waffle with pulled chicken and spring onions. Swoon! My husband really enjoyed the sausage roll. My only piece of feedback was that the portions felt a little small for the cost. We ordered four of the small plates (which were $6/ea) and one big plate (which was $12/ea) and we could have easily eaten more. Not bad when the only criticism I have of the food is that I wanted more of it. Ha! The quality was on point, and it made us even more excited to go back again another time to try their infamous brunch. Oh! I also had a London Fog and it was, quite frankly, the most delicious one I've ever tasted. I would go back simply for one of those. Overall, really really awesome little nook in Halifax. Highly recommend!
