🇨🇦 Halifax Food Guide: A Student Foodie's Picks

As an international student in this coastal city, I’ve made it my mission to explore Halifax’s food scene—here are my top recommendations! 🍽️ 🍣 Tako Sushi & Ramen A go-to Japanese spot since I arrived! Sapporo Roll: Deep-fried outer layer with lobster-mayo filling, topped with fish roe and fried shallots. Refreshing + savory + umami—unlike any other sushi! Salmon Pizza: Avocado, salmon, mayo, and eel sauce—a dream for salmon lovers 🥑. Vibe: Friendly Korean and Chinese staff make this small shop feel like home! 🔥 Turkuaz Bistro (Middle Eastern Grill) My regular order: Large Mixed Grill Platter: Beef, lamb, and chicken with rice and salad. Smoky and tender—pair with yogurt sauce! Chicken Liver: Served with flatbread, onions, and hummus—a carb-protein combo heaven! Dessert Alert: Chocolate Profiterole—a hybrid of tiramisu, chocolate cake, cheesecake, and cream puffs! Softer than brownie, creamier than tiramisu 🍫. 🥟 9+9 Dim Sum Solid 85/10 dim sum experience! Perfect for lazy Saturday mornings. Must-Try: Tofu skin rolls—juicy and oyster-like in flavor! Overall: Reliable and satisfying. 🍛 Monasaba (Yemeni Cuisine) My first Yemeni food adventure! Mix Mandi: Tender, slow-cooked meat with vibrant orange rice (spice-infused!). Topped with fried onions for extra aroma. Flatbread: Thin, crispy, and nutty—like Xinjiang’s naan but larger! Ate a whole one with chicken liver 😋. 🇰🇷 Korean Duo: Busan & Arirang Busan: Great for dinner cravings! Try BBQ meats or spicy chicken + rice cakes. Staff pours drinks generously 🍷. Arirang: Daytime favorite! Seafood tofu stew with 70% runny egg yolk, tender tofu, and seafood—mix it all with rice for silky perfection! #HalifaxEats #FoodieGuide #InternationalStudent #SushiLover #MiddleEasternFood #KoreanBBQ #ExploreHalifax 🍁✨
