Haligonians take their burgers very seriously. So seriously in fact, that an annual Burger Week is held every winter, in which restaurants across the city participate by creating unique burger flavours at a fraction of their regular cost. Whether or not you’re in Halifax for this epic week, there are amazing burgers to be had all year round. We’ve picked out the best that the city has to offer.

Darrell's Restaurant
Diner, Restaurant, American, Canadian, $$$
Just mention Darrell’s to any Haligonian and their response is guaranteed to be “OMG you have to try the peanut butter burger!” It sounds like a weird combination, but somehow it just works. Not only does it work, but it was rated the best burger in the city in The Coast’s 2017 Halifax Reader’s Choice Awards.
