Blowers & Grafton wasn’t just inspired by a place. It comes from one. Co-founded by Halifax native Josh Robinson in Calgary in 2017, B&G started with a simple but deeply held belief: the food, the flavour, and the spirit of the East Coast were too good to stay there. What began as a 34 seat restaurant has grown to ten locations across Alberta.

Now, with its first British Columbia location in Nanaimo, Blowers & Grafton is bringing a piece of Halifax to the West Coast for the first time.
