Toronto Foodie's Halifax Adventure | Must-Try Eats

Hey friends, it’s Qiqi, freshly back from Halifax—and yes, I’ve returned significantly rounder. After filtering out the duds, here’s my curated food guide for Halifax’s best bites! I spent 3 days downtown, so most recommendations are centrally located. 🍽️ Downtown Halifax Highlights 🐑 Blacksheep Mussel Chowder: Creamy, packed with fresh mussels. Fries: Extra crispy, served with squid ink mayo (looks edgy, tastes classic). 🚴 The Bicycle Thief Why Go? Waterfront views + seagull-feeding opportunities. Must-Order: Lobster Pasta (al dente noodles, sweet-salty sauce). Scallop Appetizer (only 3 pieces, but plump and buttery). Tomato Mussels (light, briny broth). 🌊 Salty’s Lobster Market Price (~$70 CAD when I went)—claws are massive (sorry, Toronto). Seafood Chowder: Thick but not heavy, zero fishy taste. Lobster Linguine: Generous meat, perfectly balanced sauce. ☕ First Sight Coffee Unexpected MVP: Their smoked salmon bagel stole the show. 🚗 Lunenburg Day Trip 🦑 Salt Shaker Deli Better value than competitors—try their squid ink pasta (locally legendary). 🍦 Sweet Treasures Confectionery Why Queue? Fresh-baked cones + rich, creamy ice cream. We drove back for seconds! ⚠️ Heads-Up Slow Service: Every meal took 1+ hour (plan accordingly). Pricey: ~$100+ CAD per meal pre-tax (15% tip auto-added). #HalifaxEats #SeafoodHeaven #LobsterLover #CanadianFoodie
