- The Coast’s annual Best of Halifax was released for 2019 and Ristorante a Mano was voted best Italian and best pasta! They also won bronze in the best fine dining and salad categories.

- Little Oak was awarded silver for the best wine list.
Perfect Local Host Gifts & Holiday Dinner Essentials
Bring a locally made Nova Scotia rum cake from the Rum Runners Rum Cake Factory to take some stress off the host. Not only can it be an option for dessert, but the cake lasts a long time so your host can serve it at another holiday gathering this season.
You could also go with the classic bottle of wine—the newly expanded Bishop’s Cellar makes it easy to find what you are looking for. If you aren’t sure what to bring, the knowledgeable team is always ready to assist. If you are the one hosting the party or dinner, they can also help you know how much to have on hand, and what pairs best with what you are serving.
