Selkie's Neighbourhood Diner is located in Sydney on Charlotte Street across from the YMCA. I'm inspired to write about Selkie's in my Good Food Review for one big reason — they show a true love for what they do.

Their daily posts on Facebook do more than just report on their menu specials. They are fun to read and illustrate a love of cooking, a love of serving their creations to others, and a love for other local restaurants and artisanal food creators.

I usually write about the food in my Good Food Review but my story today is about the people behind the food. I’ve never met them and only know from Facebook that the restaurant and the Mermaid Mobile Catering Truck are “owned and operated by Kara Lackie and Cory Blundon of Gabarus, NS.”

I follow their Facebook page and I’ve had takeout a few times and I’m consistently impressed by their happy and smart service and the uniqueness of their menu (I have a soft spot for any restaurant that offers eggs benedict with Hasselback Potato).

By the way, a selkie is a "mythical creature that resembles a seal in the water but assumes human form on land," which seems to explain the restaurant's matching name and logo ...

Follow their Facebook page below and give this restaurant a try. There’s love in this food.
