Halifax Restaurants

Famed for its seafood, fresh apples, blueberries, and corn, Nova Scotia cuisine's traditional ingredients are also, increasingly, part of something a bit more sophisticated, too. If you're serious about discovering Nova Scotian meals, try Hodge Podge—a summer staple of fresh beans, peas, carrots, and baby potatoes, cooked in cream. Seek out local favorites with curious names like Solomon Gundy (a pickled-herring pâté), rappie pie (a hearty chicken stew with dried, shredded potatoes), and blueberry grunt (a steamed pudding featuring Nova Scotia's finest berries). And of course, culled from the sea, savor fresh lobster and mussels, Digby scallops, and Atlantic salmon.
