Default Nova Scotia food tourism

If anyone is ever in Nova Scotia, a few food places to suggest that I have
found in the last year since moving here.

Visit That Dutch Man's Farm for cheese. Specificly I like his Dragons
Breath blue, though Gouda is his specialty. Aside from "the farm", you can
buy his stuff at the Halifax market Saturday mornings (and meet the
"dutchman" himself) and Pete's Frootique too, though Pete's marks up the
price alot.

Foxhill Cheese House. They make alot of chedders and havarti. I like their
jalapeno blends and their pepper jellies. I think, though not sure, that
they are also at the Saturday Halifax market and Pete's.

Pete's Frootqiue, a couple locations in Halifax. The website does not do
this place justice. Their selection of gourmet foods is awesome. If you
visit on the weekend they will have live piano and sometimes others to play
while you shop. The produce, meats, cheeses and other selections will make
you drool. This place is a *must* for any foodie out this way.

Hall's Harbour Lobster Pound. The lobster are market value plus 2 or 3 bucks
to boil it. You can sit your butt right on the patio overlooking the Bay of
Fundy while you eat. If you are on a bit of a budget, their fish and chips
are the best I've had. Get it fried with batter (it's not heavy at all,
trust me), do not the sauted version. They do pan seered scallops (don't
get the breaded scallops) as another tastey option.

In Halifax itself. There is the Hamachi, which have a steak house and a
japanese house in different locations. Both are top notch. "The great wall"
for chinese in the downtown area, Tug's Pub for all you can eat mussels with
various sauces to change it up and a full course menu that is pretty decent.
