6 Best Restaurants in Halifax, Nova Scotia

Every lick of the small-batch artisan ice cream made at Dee Dee's is pure pleasure whether you opt for classic vanilla, banana cardamom, Mexican chocolate, or one of the many other flavors on offer.

Home to ridiculous milkshakes topped with cotton candy and slices of birthday cake or cheesecake, as well as stacked cones and a massive selection of international candy, Flynn's is a delight. There's also a branch in the Hydrostone neighborhood. 

Traditional Vietnamese subs, noodle soups and bowls, fusion tacos, and more at this fast-service spot just across from the Halifax Public Gardens.

Decadent pastries and excellent coffee are to be had at this authentic French bakery in the heart of downtown. 

Here you'll find sweet and savory crepes with unexpected fillings such as garlic mashed potato, or pesto with goat cheese and chicken, as well as classic flavors.

This fun local café's slogan is "Eat Butter," so it's no surprise that their massive buttery croissants are amazing, and freshly roasted beans from the coffee roastery next door—Anchored—means that the caffeinated drinks are perfect, too.
