Halifax, N.S. – Taste of Nova Scotia restaurants represent a variety of dining styles and atmospheres, but all establishments reflect Nova Scotia’s rich culinary tapestry.
“Is there a need for the consumer to be more aware of supporting our own farmers and local produce? Most definitely,” says Janice Ruddock, executive director of Taste of Nova Scotia. “However, Taste restaurants have been doing this for years. When you look at a menu in our restaurants, you see Fox Hill cheese, you see Acadian Maple Products, you see Eel Lake oysters, you see Willy Krauch salmon – highlighted proudly on their locally and seasonally inspired menus.”
Taste restaurant members purchase fresh, seasonal Nova Scotia products according to availability and are very aware of the benefits of doing so on a sustainability as well as a business level. Their staff is expected to be professional, efficient, friendly and familiar with the food products of Nova Scotia, particularly in their regional area.
