Welcome to Good robot, a brewery, brewpub, bar, and beer garden run by a pack of misfits with two locations: the North End of halifax (brewpub + beer garden) and Elmsdale (brewery + beer garden). o ur beverages are known to be eclectic, eccentric, and untrue to style, fraught with foraged materials, impulse decisions, and whimsy.

our GastroTurfs (beer gardens featuring a stroTurf at both robie St. and Elmsdale) bring all the flavours of summer to the familiar comfort of a putting green. Yearround, we host oddball events, brew with the community, sponsor festivals, facilitate charitable incentives, and make questionable marketing decisions. Want to sit your bum somewhere and let your freak flag fly? Well, matey, set sail for halifax’s most questionable brewing experience.

originally from France, Jean- pierre Gallois and Yseult Bertic have over 30 years of experience as professional chocolatiers/ pastry chefs. Since opening in 2003, they have been creating fine chocolates and truffles, decadent pastries, and macarons, along with artisan ice cream/sorbet.

They use only high-quality French chocolate couverture in their handmade delicacies and no preservatives or artificial flavours are used in their products – all are handmade. They also incorporate Nova Scotian ingredients like ice wine, fortified wine, berries, sea salt, maple syrup, honey, apples, seaweed, and more.

Friday & Saturday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Saturdays at the wolfville Farmers’ Market, 8 a.m. – 1 p.m.

leo’s Donair began in 1981, when founder leo Toulany and his wife, Jean, began supplying ground beef to local businesses. a s the love of donair grew in our home province of Nova Scotia, so did the demand for supplying restaurants. Since then, leo has turned his small operation into the donair production it is today.

leo has taken great pride in providing quality donair along with other donair products, including loaves, burgers, sausages, finger appetizers, donair sauce, and spice. i t was hard not to feel proud when the province of Nova Scotia declared the donair as its official food in 2015. h e has perfected his product that is recognizable from the first bite.

Serves 6 - 8

Pie dough

4 cups flour

2 cups shortening

1 tsp salt

1 1/4 cup cold water

Apple Pie

8 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced

1/2 cup butter

3 tbsp flour

1/4 cup apple cider

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

Dir EC tions

Pie Dough

1. Dissolve the salt into the water and place in the freezer.

2. Place the flour in a large bowl and add the shortening; work the shortening into the flour with your fingers until you have pea-sized bits.

3. Move the dough to one side and pour in half of the water. Work the water into the dough with one hand while rotating the bowl counterclockwise with the other. The dough should come together but not be too wet. Add more water as needed.

4. Shape the dough into three equal portions and form into round discs. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

2. Place the butter into a heavy-bottom saucepan over low heat. Once melted, add the flour and make a paste, then add the remaining ingredients and stir until the sugars have melted.

3. Remove the pie from the fridge and pour the mixture over the apples.

4. Roll out your second portion of dough; cut into ten 1-inch wide strips. Place five of the strips vertically onto the pie. Fold back the 1st, 3rd, and 5th strips to the center, then place a strip horizontally across the center; bring the vertical strips back down. Fold the 2nd and 4th strip back to the middle and place your second strip across horizontally; then bring the 2nd and 4th strips back into place. Repeat process until the lattice covers the top of the pie. Trim any ends that are longer than the 1-inch crust and tuck everything in. Crimp the edges of the pie.

Apple Pie

1. Roll out one portion of pie dough on a floured surface. Place into a 9-inch pie plate and trim the edges, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Arrange the apples in the pie crust and place back into the fridge.

5. Pre-heat oven to 425F. Place the pie on a parchment lined baking sheet and put into the oven for 15 minutes. Afterward, lower the temperature to 350F and cook for an additional 45 minutes or until the apples are soft.

like the building of a historical Saltbox house, brewing small batches of quality beer is a deeply rooted expression of heritage and craftmanship found in Nova Scotia. in those days, most brewing and drinking was done in the home. The resurgence of craft brewing marks a renaissance of the kind of local brewing that took place before the industrial revolution – when making beer was a standard household chore as integral as baking bread.

at Saltbox Brewing Company, we celebrate the development of the skills and artistry required to create fresh, fullflavoured beer for consumption by the local community. our motto: “Think social and drink local.”

Wayfarers’ ale came together in 2012 as a group of local craft beer enthusiasts developing their own beers. after a lot of experimenting and tasting, they gravitated toward some interesting heritage beers that go well with food and friends.

The name Wayfarers’ is a tribute to an old custom in England where medieval travellers (wayfarers) would stop at local churches, knock on the door, and be given a small horn of ale and a piece of bread to help and refresh them along their way.

located at the wharf in port Williams, the brewery offers an amazing view of the ever-changing tides. Great food, terrific beer, and a fabulous view await you at Wayfarers’ ale.

Since 2009, the unique beaches, coves, marshes, woods, and streams of advocate harbour has sculpted our intimate cooking style here at Wild Caraway. We have sought to share our excitement of the area and the produce it provides. Sourcing only the best local and seasonal ingredients and imbuing them with our passion and enthusiasm, we hope to entertain, inform, and delight.

We have two ensuite guest rooms that allow for a peaceful getaway and are currently building 3 cottages that will be open sometime in July of 2023.

We are open Thursday – Monday from May until December, and have pop ups throughout the season.

rose & rooster is a small café in the heart of Grand Desert on the picturesque Eastern Shore. We are a favourite with locals and visitors alike for breakfast and lunch throughout the week, and incredible brunch on weekends (burritos & benny!)

We serve Nova Scotia-roasted coffee and espresso, bake our bread and sweet treats in house, and make whatever we can from scratch, from fish cakes and brownies to burritos and lemon squares – even the pickles on the side of your plate! We also stock a wide selection of take-home meals and house-made preserves so you can take a little bit of rose & rooster with you.
