I finally checked this Halifax pub out! Unlike the other Yelpers that reviewed Blowers & Grafton, I've never been out east. I never tried a Halifax-style donair before and I've only eaten a lobster roll and clams and chips once in my life in Seattle.
Blowers & Grafton took over the old Carino location in Bridgeland. The room is small but modern and clean. Service was prompt and friendly. The food was reasonably priced and tasty. My husband ordered a Hoppy Buoy and I picked a pint of Alexander Keith.
The clams were VERY good. Nice meaty pieces with a good chew to it. The fries were crispy and I liked the homemade tartar sauce. The meat in the donair was plentiful. There was so much sauce that there was a big pool of it on the plate. The sauce was sweet. If you never had a Halifax donair, it's nothing like the ones I'm familiar with in Vancouver and Calgary.
I really enjoyed the blueberry grunt, which I accidentally called a gunt. It's like a really delicious mini doughnut but airy inside and worthy of being in Avenue Magazine as one of the sweetest deals in #yyc!
I plan to go back to try the lobster rolls, fish and chips, donair pizza and more gunts. I mean grunts. hehe
