Yummy Halifax Food List

by lapetitewatson

We visit Halifax, K’jipuktuk, a couple of times a year to see some of JC’s family and for Desmond’s IWK appointments. Every time we go we feast! We try to find new places and go to a few old favourites! I have had many requests for recommendations so I thought I would compile a list! It’s going to be a bit of a long list so I’m keeping the details about each place short. Click the links to check out the location’s Instagram / website.  

Check out the google map to see where to find them all!

Did you know pumpkins have been spicing up life for over 100 years? 🎃 Come take a bite into some fun and quirky pumpkin history, from old-timey recipes using rose water to vintage parties in Renforth, New Brunswick, that knew how to celebrate the season! 🍂 Fall always feels like part science & magic. Like I know the leaves making these beautiful colours is explainable & happens every year. Yet every autumn I'm amazed 😍 I got a photo with the legendary Terry O'Reilly at @socialeastca last week! What an incredible conference with a talented lineup of presenters, including Saint John's own Nicole Vair from Envision Saint John. It was so nice to catch up with some familiar faces and chat & meet a bunch of cool new people. I'm still processing & going over notes on everything I learned. This 2 day conference was the perfect mix of tons of fun & fantastic digital marketing information. Playing peek a boo with the sun A secret, not so secret society. We took a week off to relax & enjoy summer. It was definitely fun, & definitely not much sleep, lol.

Respectfully acknowledge that I am located in the Traditional Wəlastəkwiyik land. And that this area is on the unceded and unsurrendered territories of the Wolastoqiyik, Peskotomuhkati and Mi’kmaq, respectively known as Wolastokuk, Peskotomuhkatik and Mi’kma'ki. These lands are covered by the Treaties of Peace and Friendship first signed with the British Crown in 1725, and then recognized and affirmed by Canada in section 35 of the Constitution Act of 1982. The treaties did not surrender the territory and resources but in fact recognized Wolastokuk, Peskotomuhkatik and Mi’kma'ki title, and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations. I pay respect to the elders, past and present, and descendants of this land.
