Thank you!! Wow that Donair sounds totally up my alley. I really really want to try one now! I have this 7 hour tour booked for us though which doesn't leave us much time to explore on our own. Do you know if there's a place near the port where I can get one to go, because I'd totally make a beeline for it as soon as the tour drops us off.
Yes Louisbourg was an option! I was looking at that one too. Do you know if they have Donair in Sydney? Because maybe I can get one there if I can't get one in Halifax although I'm assuming the best ones would be in Halifax.
Thanks for the great info!
I'm not sure exactly where on the Waterfront you will be docked, but the closest would be Tony's on Grafton street, or Johnny K's on "pizza corner" at Blowers Street and Grafton street. Both are very walkable from the main section of the waterfront (short walk, but uphill) but if you are docked at the far south end as I suspect you might be is a bit of longer walk. I don't think Halifax has Uber, unfortunately. Johnny K's ALSO has amazing poutine (voted best in Halifax) so you can get two birds with one stone if you go there!
There will definitely be donairs in Sydney - you are right that they probably won't be as good as what you'd find in Halifax, but they will convey the general idea. Mmm. Now I want a donair

As for Peggy's Cove, it is a very iconic Nova Scotia sight - a very famous and picturesque spot and probably worth a visit. Plus I know you would enjoy a traditional Nova Scotia lobster feast.
