One of my favorite breakfast spots. A little higher priced than a diner (for good reason), but still cheaper than your average bougie brunch spot.

Vandal Doughnuts
2306 Gottingen StGreat (and creative) donuts!
The only place on the waterfront I'll eat at. Unless you want to go to a pricey Italian restaurant in... *checks map* Atlantic Canada.
They also have craft beer there.
I recommend the Fish n Chips and the mussels. Other people tell me the oysters are great!
