    When your from the U.S. getting a Beaver Tail is the ultimate quest. We missed one in Saint John New Brunswick but found one down by the water in Halifax. Yummy

    So good. Sorta like and elephant ear ( but smaller. With different toppings. Husband got Brownie topping. And I got Apple Pie. The Apple pie was really good. Can't say how the brownie was. He didn't offer a taste and be ate the whole thing.

    I was in Canada on vacation. I personally never heard of a beaver tail. But walking around the port I noticed people eating this pastry. when I found the location that sold them there were so many choices. You can get it with cookies, ice cream, candy and about 20 other combinations. I went with the two basic and classic options. I got the tail with maple syrup which was epic and so tasty. I also got the original. they were both worth the price and wait. Just know that if you pay with American dollars they give you Canadian change and it is not equivalent to the us dollar. I always keep the Canadian money because its very ornate so it wasn't really a big issue for me.

    There was a BeaverTails stand at the Halifax Harbour, so we got the Avalanche, which features Cheesecake spread, Skor® bits, and caramel sauce. I think this was our first time trying Skor, a chocolate toffee bar that was first marketed in the United States in 1981 and later launched in Canada in 1983. "Skör" is Swedish for "brittle".

    Our tour guide had mentioned this as a must go place. I had seen it the day before in St. John, but didn't stop then. I wish I had! I was not familiar with Beavertails before this trip. And now I wish I could get it here in Colorado. It's basically a fried dough with a topping. There's a few premade options to choose from. I am a huge fan of maple, so I couldn't pass up a chance to try that. It was even better than I imagined. Coated with a maple spread, some small maple candy bites, and a drizzle of chocolate, my mouth was very happy! It's a pretty sweet treat, and I am sure I couldn't eat it as often as I like, but it sure was a nice special item for a vacation.

    If you haven't had the pleasure of a 'beavertail' then you're missing out on one of the best Canadian delicacies going. Seriously, they're right up there with fresh salmon, lobsters and maple syrup! First of all, just in case you aren't aware, a beaver tail is a: whole-wheat pastry that has been deep friend in soy oil, stretched to look like a beaver's tail, smothered in butter and topped with your choice of delectable toppings. My personal favorite: apples with whipped cream. Disclaimer: Do not be confused by the term 'whole wheat.' These are terrible for you. The best time to eat a beavertail is after a day of skiing in Whistler, but a jaunt along the Halifax boardwalk rings a close second. Be sure the check out this little kiosk the next time you're on the harbour front.

    Banana Chocolate. My personal favourite combination. Be advised: Messy!

    Yes its a good place for a quick desert one a long walk at the waterfront. but just a quick desert to try out for once, maybe twice. Beaver Tails is simply a booth that provides a piece of dough ( which a year ago seemed to be bigger in size) with various types of topping by your choice. Ranging from cinnamon, chocolate, banana and apple pieces, if your craving some sugar after a long walk down the waterfront on a sunny hot and exhausting day, maybe its a good choice to visit. On the other hand, its is defiantly not something to eat at everyday. It is simply a touristic or summer thing to do !. On a brighter note, their Moozo Smoothies are phenomenal ! MY personal favourite is the Strawberry Banana. Trust me , this is the thing that you need to get from beaver tails. ICE cold, fresh and refreshing in such hot summer weather. I recommend you to try the venue one. And maybe visit once in a while as its not the "wow" place to be all the time, and defiantly not the place to be if you want to be in shape.

    Just get a cinnamon sugar one and ask for no butter and its vegan. :D and their smoothies without yogurt
    Ashley L.

    Wait, aren't you vegan? Believe or not, Beavertails can be made for vegans too!! My friend actually originally let me know know because I always walked by and assumed I couldn't have them. She said the original cinnamon and sugar was vegan-friendly without the butter so that's what I got and all I can say is yummmmmmmmmm. I emailed the company and found out they had a few more options for vegans: simply ask for no butter: Cinnamon sugar and Killaloe Sunrise, Apple cinnamon with no caramel drizzle or butter, Maple without butter or chocolate and coco vanil without butter or chocolate. You can also get their smoothies without yogurt. I had the Coco vanil tonight without butter or chocolate sauce and it was amazing. I am so excited to find a new place to get a sweet treat.

    Beavertails aren't the only confection they serve here, they also offer Moozoo smoothies, sundaes, fries, hot dogs and more. Definitely not for those watching their waistlines, but perfect for a vacation treat while enjoying the waterfront. Lines can be long, but aren't too bad usually. There's limited outdoor seating for those who need a sit down.

    McJolly Filipino Fast Food - Combo Meal #3 - fried chicken with rice, corn and gravy

    McJolly Filipino Fast Food

    Downtown Halifax

    Filipino food is probably my favourite international cuisine, with its delicious mix of Asian and…read moreSpanish flavours, and while their fast food is much more American-ized than their more traditional stuff, it's its own little niche that deserves some love too! McJolly was started by Filipino immigrants who became restauranteurs in Halifax and takes its name from two of the most popular fast food chains in the Philippines. No guesses are needed for the prefix, but the second part may be less familiar for Maritimers - Jollibee. They're only just starting to expand in Canada, with about 30 locations across the country, and are known for their assorted menu of fried chicken, burgers, and Filipino-style spaghetti. The menu at McJolly is much the same, and I had the fried chicken section in my sights. I went for Comb Meal #3 - fried chicken, rice and your choice of coleslaw or corn (I chose the latter). I thought I was getting a lighter meal than some of the combos that have both rice and spaghetti, but when my tray was in front of me, the *four* pieces of chicken (two drumsticks and two thighs, go Team Dark Meat!) said otherwise! Hilariously, I was in a bit of a rush to get to a job interview, so I had to inhale this meal and couldn't quite give it the attention it deserved, but there were really only four different items - the chicken, steamed rice, corn and gravy. I won't play coy and leave it until the end of the review - the chicken was awesome! The coating was super crisp, and the meat within was moist and tender. I do wish Filipino fried chicken had more seasoning to it, but hey, well executed fried chicken is still a wonderful thing! The gravy had a pleasant peppery kick to it, and I slathered it over both the chicken and the rice. The small cup of corn was a bit of an afterthought, and I probably should have gone with the coleslaw on the off chance that it would be a vinegar-based dressing to have something to cut through the rich chicken, but it's likely mayo-based anyway. I love that Filipino food has really been blowing up in Halifax the past few years, and I'll definitely be doing a deep dive into it all, including a return visit to McJolly for the spaghetti next time!

    Food was amazing . On point. Delicious. Pro tip: use the sriracha sauce with your rice!…read more 10/10 would recommend

    The food court at Scotia Square, re-branded as the "The Mix," has really expanded since my last…read morevisit 3 years ago. It's bigger and brighter, with several new vendors. It's very reminiscent of the food courts in complexes connected by The PATH in Toronto (eg the Richmond-Adelaide Centre, TD Place, Commerce Court, etc.). I like that there are several independent vendors, and there are some chains that are specific to Atlantic Canada (which are cool to me because I'm from Ontario). There are of course also big national and international chains, but I didn't travel to Halifax to eat stuff that I can eat in Ottawa, right? However, if you live in Halifax and want an A&W burger or a Iced Capp from Tim Hortons, they have those at The Mix too. So some of their newest offerings are Katch and Pizza Girls (they are together), Tin Pan Alley Gourmet Fries, and Sushi Tonari. The older vendors include A Taste of India, A&W, Booster Juice, Freshii (which is newish), Korea Garden, Mama Gratti's, Mezza Lebanese Kitchen, Starbucks, Subway, Thai Express, and Tim Hortons. There is a lot of seating and the food court is bright, clean, and spacious. I'm a fan.

Baked goods are definitely "my thing" and I was curious to settle upon, for once and for all, which spot has the best cookie! The contenders: Starbucks, Second Cup, and Treats. These are the main places one may venture for a treat, and I didn't bother with Tim Horton's because the lines are always too long. I purchased one cookie from each store, and noted the selection available as well. Sitting down at a table in the mall, I laid all three cookies out in front of me and sampled each with a bite. The results? Starbucks! Best cookie, hands down. I purchased the white chocolate & maccadamian nut, which was soft and chewy just how I like it. Although Starbucks tends to run low on cookies fairly often, so that can be a drag. Second Cup comes in second, with a tasty chocolate chip, and Treats comes in last place because of the overly crisp (bordering burnt) taste. So there you have it folks. If you're looking for the best fix for a Scotia Square cookie, I'd recommend Starbucks.

The portions were on the small side and I hardly got any vegetables or potatoes :( The taste was ok though, but not as fantastic as I had hoped. I got the Seoul Chicken, regular sized plate ($7.15). I got white rice instead of fried rice. The plate came with the teeniest portion of vegetables (cabbage, carrots and celery) and about 7 tiny cubes of potatoes. The portion of chicken was ok, but by no means generous. The amount of rice was in proportion to the meat, I didn't have much rice leftover, so at least the plate wasn't filled with rice. The chicken itself tasted good. It was fried chicken pieces, mostly dark meat, but it wasn't too fatty or gristley at least. The sauce was sweet and savoury. It was not spicy. The potatoes were a bit boring without too much flavour to them. I liked the lightly pickled vegetables. They were still somewhat crunchy. I would have liked some more though. Service was very courteous and efficient. Korea Garden is in the Scotia Square food court, which is branded "The Mix." There's lots of seating. I'm glad that I tried it, but I certainly am not hooked on it, like I've read other reviewers (both on Yelp and other platforms) are, lol. I guess it's all for the best since I'm from out of town anyway.

I added a gyoza dumpling and it still was less than $7.
