"What is it: King of Donair, fondly known as “K.O.D.,” is a small takeout shop on Quinpool Road, where you can taste the original Halifax donair. Why go: In 2015, the mayor of Halifax brought this late-night takeout indulgence from cult status to mainstream fame when he declared the donair Halifax’s official food. The secret is in the sweet sauce, a Halifax-only recipe created in 1973."
"King of Donair is credited as the creator of the Halifax donair, and over the years, it has developed a loyal following — and for good reason. The King’s original donair has been around since 1973 and is a staple in every Nova Scotian’s fast food repertoire. Fancy some garlic fingers (that’s garlic and cheese pizza slices)?"
"After a night of drinking and dancing, a late night Donair will help with the hangover. The Donair is the “unofficial” official food of Halifax. A meat-filled wrap of tomato and onions reminds you of a doner kebab or gyro, but it is neither."
"You didn’t think we’d get through a list on Halifax best restos without including a fish and chips joint, did you?. This spot at Isleville and Kane has been serving up East Cost comfort fare since the ‘40s. Their single-piece fish and chips will cost you $11, three pieces will set you back $17."
"You didn’t come all the way to Nova Scotia for the beef, did you?. Steeped in English tradition, Nova Scotia’s capital city is home to some of the finest fish and chips in the country. You might encounter a few hefty lineups, but it’ll be worth the wait."
"This coffee shop requires a jaunt to Bayer’s Lake, but who isn’t running errands that way at this time of year, anyway?. The amazing and unique thing about Jaggers is they have custom, made-to-order doughnuts made from scratch right in front of you. So, whatever flavour combination you're feeling, you’ll be in luck."
"Enjoy a fun day of shipping and dining with your family and friends at Bayer's Lake Shopping and Dining District. Explore the numerous stores and visit restaurants that offer a wide range of culinary delights. Visit Website of Bayer's Lake Shopping and Dining District"

"In Porters Lake, Crowbar Lake Hiking Trail system offers an 18 kilometre footpath that follows a small lake. The trail system breaks down into four smaller trails, each offering different views of the scenery surrounding Porters Lake. Each section of the trail allows hikers to return to the beginning of the rail easily, so hikers can customize their walk."
"I haven’t spent a lot of time in this park but I have heard good things from my fellow dog friends. Shubie Park makes the list for its large off-leash dog areas, kilometres of tree-covered trails and beach areas. There are a ton of different entrances to get into Shubie Park, and there are lots of signs that will help guide you to the off-leash areas."
"Built between 1826 and 1861 the Shubie Park Canals are truly historic and are part of one of the most unique and beautiful city parks we’ve ever visited. If you’re visiting Halifax and staying in the city, you will need to cross the harbour to Dartmouth. Shubie park is the most perfect place for fall colors we’ve ever been."
"Shubie Park is the only campground located in the Halifax city limits, and it has 75 sites. Along with camping, you can also explore the trails around Lake Charles and Lake MicMac. There are squirrels, ducks and other animals who are used to humans and will gladly wait for a treat."
"This small urban park is next to St. Mary’s Boat Club, tucked between Jubilee and Coburg roads. It’s one of the sports fields that HRM transitions to an off-leash dog area in the winter. The tennis court is a great fenced-in area to play, if that’s what you’re looking for."
"Located downtown on one of the city’s busiest streets, Government House is the official residence of the Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia. The beautiful National Historic Site was built over 200 years ago and is open to the public. Government House, 1451 Barrington St, Halifax, NS, Canada"
"Opened to Council and the public in 1890, Halifax’s City Hall is a gorgeous, statuesque building overlooking the Parade Square. Take in the view from one of the square’s many picnic tables and Adirondack chairs, and be sure to look at the north-facing clock—it’s permanently set to 9:04 am, the time of the Halifax Explosion in 1917."
"On The Menu: house-cured charcuterie boards, Faroe Island Salmon, and duck marget. Vibe & Tastes: Quiet and romantic while still being comfortable. I've always loved casual fine dining."
