The Halifax waterfront restaurant scene has never been more exciting. Bishop’s Landing is now home to Little Oak, a 27-seat bar with an impressive wine and spirits menu, a daily selection of small plates to choose from, and a waterfront patio to enjoy beautiful summer afternoons and evenings.
Brand new to Bishop’s Landing is Haskapa, a locally-owned specialty shop with a bevy of delicious products made from the haskap berry. This berry is native to Japan and Siberia, but just so happens to also flourish in Nova Scotian soil. This is Haskapa’s second retail store—the original can be found in Mahone Bay, close to their berry farms in Blockhouse and New Germany.
The haskap berry’s flavour is described as a delicious mix between blueberry and raspberry with a hint of elderberry. Haskaps are also good for you, containing anthocyanins, vitamin C, phenolic compounds, and other antioxidants.
