I often meet my friends for brunch on the weekends at Ducky's, which is part of the Dartmouth ferry terminal complex. The food is excellent: try the breakfast sandwich with homemade potato wedges for brunch, and their thin-crust pizza and homemade soup for lunch or dinner. The service is really good, and the restaurant has a gorgeous view of the Halifax skyline. Every once in awhile, especially sitting on the patio on a hot day, raise a glass with one of their yummy mango mamosas!
