HALIFAX – You’ve definitely had one. A greasy, garlicy, spicy, hot, sweet and delicious treat that Halifax is known for. That’s right, the donair.

It’s a Halifax favourite, and soon could become the city’s “official” food.

The donair was invented here in Halifax more than 40 years ago and the restaurant King of Donair has claimed they’re the first place to serve the meaty delight.

Donairs are celebrated as a unique east coast favourite, and particularly a Halifax favourite.
