Sitting pretty on the corner of Windsor Avenue and Duncan Street, which just happened to be my neighborhood for the summer of /08, is 'George and Lito's'.

Recently opened as I arrived in Halifax July 1/08, I watched Stamos (the owner) evolve his unique corner of the neighborhood into an increasingly popular spot.

From the tiled floor,  the black, white and red decor of 'George and Litto's flows pleasantly, hinting at 1950's diner style with upscale post modern and deco elements. The street corner came absolutely alive with the patio addition over the summer /08, raising the ambient score a few notches over its already charming ambience. 

This versatile little cafe with a significant seating capacity, inside and out, runs from breakfast through to dinner.

Believe it! For about $5 you can have a great traditional breakfast,but prepared and presented in exquisite style, making it taste even better!! Since I was staying just a half block away, it was just TOO convenient to mosy over for breakfast - several times!

The vegan breakfastis a Greek plate of houmous and pita, dolmades and tabbouli. Irresistable and DELICIOUS, this dish is a great lunch, or any-time appie plate, also!!

Now honestly, I never had dinner here. That time of day often found me in other  parts. I did stop in late one evening needing my veggie fix. I was served a marvelously fresh small salad in a bowl that had a deceptively huge capacity, with salad that just kept coming out of it - again for under $5 !

Sorry I never got a photo of George and Litto's. Perhaps I will call Stamos and ask if he can email some. In any case check it out yourself - you'll be glad you did!

Oh did I say you can get breakfast until 4pm?

                                                                           Why of course you can!

The relaxed casual chic essence in all aspects of this cafe, made it a favorite for lounging over breakfast with a newspaper while on vacation.   

...another reason to just LOVE Halifax!!!!!!!!!!!!!
