"Ah Darrell’s, a nationally recognized burger restaurant (seriously, they’ve won multiple best of Canada awards for their burgers). This is a classic diner centered around gourmet burgers, milkshakes that have also won multiple awards, and other staples of diners done beautifully well.

"A personal favourite, Java Blend is legendary on the Halifax coffee scene. Established in 1938 by Theodore Sideris, Java Blend focuses on the motto of “direct from our roaster to your cup,” ensuring the freshest, most flavourful cup of coffee, every time. Another plus: since they’re brewing their own coffee – no middleman – the prices are extremely affordable."

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has eaten here."

"Fill your plate with a portion of the delicious 12oz Delmonico steak served with a bérnaise sauce and jojos (potato wedges). The restaurant’s soaring high ceilings, arresting furnishings, bare-brick walls, and open kitchen make it a space worth whiling time away in. Its location in Halifax’s North End is where one of its signature cocktails, ‘the North Ender,’ derives its name."

"Stop by the Agricola Street Brasserie to experience French-inspired seasonal cuisine and you will not be disappointed.
