Halifax and Dartmouth are raising a glass after two local favourites made the cut and were named among our country's best. Canada's 100 Best publication says its celebrated annual lists of top restaurants and bars are created by and for people who love to eat and drink well. The Narrows Public House in Halifax’s North End placed 12th, recognized for its East Coast hospitality, historic Victorian setting, comfort dishes and live weekend music. Dartmouth’s Dear Friend Bar landed at 15th, praised for its cozy European café feel, creative cocktails and role in shaping Dartmouth's now-buzzing downtown.
