Chi Bistro is fusion of a completely different kind. It took over the space (and many staff) of the much-loved creperie Tess' in early November, and brought in a fresh menu of Asian and Asian-inspired dishes. The style is still casual, and you can still get your crepe fix at brunch, but you'll also be able to opt for buns stuffed with pork belly or a Beijing duck taco. The big difference is that the emphasis is now on small plates and "share-ability."
View this Smart ListA lovely creperie just off the Agricola Street strip in North End Halifax, Tess is known throughout the city for their crepes Benedict. That's right, they wrap up the eggs in a crepe and put it all on a delicious lake of hollandaise sauce. Try it with smoked bacon and brie. Get there fast: the dining room isn't huge and there's competition for these delicious creations.
