Halifax is quickly becoming a foodie-destination for travellers, with a common “this is the best food I’ve ever had” response to our cuisine and restaurants. With a love for supporting local, living off the land and of course, our seafood, Halifax is breaking stereotypes that the only food we eat is lobster (I mean, we do still eat a lot of lobster). Spread the word or come try for yourself, that Halifax is an amazing city for fantastic food & drink.
