This amazing location won best ice cream in Halifax in 2014, and it isn’t hard to see why. With innovative flavours such as the spicy yet sweet Mexican chocolate and a variety of sorbets, it’s well deserving of its title.

For those of you who have been to Darrell’s, you might be thinking something along the lines of “this isn’t burger week.” But fear not, it’s still on this list for a reason: its world-class milkshakes. They’re so good that they’ve won best milkshake in Halifax for 9 years running. So next time you stop in for a burger, pair it with one of their shakes, and we promise you won’t regret it.
