Great dining hall in the Saint Mary's University campus, Halifax. It's located in the Loyola building and hence, easy to access even in the winter. It is very neat and clean, and has got a wide variety of food options with an all-you-can-eat option. The staff are good too. Those who do not have meal coupon can get in by paying $11 upfront and that's really a good deal.
