ometime during the month of April, depending on the weather, the patio furniture (like the bear) awakens from its deep winter slumber. Pretty much every lounge and/or restaurant in the Maritimes with available space, has a patio. There are four elements that seem to create a successful patio in these parts. Good friends, great food, a beautiful view, and of course, some cold “suds”. So, what’s under “Your Fathers Moustache?” Well, there are no crumbs here! The food is as mouthwatering

as the view. Located on the rooftop at 5686 Spring Garden Road (3 floors up!), this restaurant boasts one of the best patios in Halifax. It’s the place where suits mingle with sweats, and hi-heels with crocs. From open ‘til close, unwind with friends as you watch thousands of people, dressed in their summer best, meandering below. Quench your thirst as you chow down on 1-1/4 lbs. of fresh Atlantic Lobster drenched in melted butter. (An east coast treat that is a must!!!) Served with French bread and potato salad for less than twenty dollars, all summer long.
Into the evening your smile will be illuminated by the dancing orange flames of the tabletop fire pits. The fresh salt air unites with the scent of the many, colorful flowers that surround you, and the sounds of amusement and great maritime music fill your heart and your ears, while the lobster infused butter still clings to your taste buds! Your Father’s Moustache is truly like an explosion to all of your senses. If you’re ever in the area, check out the “stache”, or go to the website @ www.yourfathersmoustache.ca
