  mediterraneo a while back, when i blogged about cora's, urlLink karen suggested breakfast at mediterraneo .
it's a casual restaurant on barrington street (downtown) serving lebanese and canadian cuisine (i didn't know that but i guess i should have from the name of the place!). very sparse tables, kind of cafeteria-like, definitely eatery-like. (sorry, it was over a week ago and details and prices are escaping me....) i ordered a "regular" grapeleaf plate and chris ordered falafel plate.
i mean... are you supposed to order canadian dishes there? supposedly it is good for it's breakfast and they also serve pasta, etc. there were many other lebanese dishes that i think are worth trying. the grapeleaf plate came with 12 grapeleaves made with some pork, onions, and rice. they surrounded a greek salad (choice of greek, caesar, and garden). some of the grapeleaves were good, some were a little dried up.
four falafel (how do you pluralize that?! ) came with salad (? ) and pita bread.... i'd like to go back again and try in a really down-to-earth setting (and prices) all the other dishes (kibbi anyone? ) that i've never heard of but bet that it isn't served up badly there at all based on the quality of our lunch. location: 1571 barrington street, halifax urlLink read more....
