HALIFAX FOOD GUIDE (Must-Try Food & Drink in NOVA SCOTIA) 🦀 | Best CANADIAN FOOD in Atlantic Canada

Hey guys, Samuel and Audrey here, and today we’re taking you on a massive food tour of the beautiful seaside city of Halifax, Nova Scotia!

This summer, we had the chance to spend a week exploring Halifax in partnership with Tourism Nova Scotia and the cuisine was a real highlight.

Our quest for a taste of the Maritimes led us to all sorts of restaurants, breweries, distilleries, pubs and outdoor patios, and we’re going to be sharing them all in this video. We’ll dive into the seafood scene with dishes ranging from lobster roll to risotto with scallops, and seafood linguini to fusion maki rolls.

We’ll taste the beloved Halifax donair, which is the city’s must-try dish and a great street food snack. We’ll also visit a few different craft breweries, go on a sunset wine cruise, and do a spirit tasting inside the citadel.

So join us on this Halifax food tour as we check out some of the best Canadian food in Atlantic Canada!

The following is our Halifax food guide. Bring your appetite!

This is where I live! It's quite endearing seeing people from around the world so interested in our cuisine and sights. 😊 Thank you for posting!

I worked at the waterfront warehouse about eight years ago. It looks just as good as it was then!

[xchristine]

Proud to call Halifax home. The food is truly amazing!

I'm actually visiting Halifax right now so thank you for sharing. I'll definitely be checking these places out. We really enjoyed our meal at the old triangle on Sunday with live music

[sharoncarter]

Great video! I live an hour away from Halifax and I hate to admit I have not tried many of the restaurants you shared. You've inspired me to visit them!

[BucketListTravellers]

mmm looks like seafood heaven! 😋
we had our first Caesar in Canada last year. So good!

[jonestowndixiecups]

*Goes to Halifax*
*Eats only at tourist traps*

Okay if you come back, try:

The Press Gang, order The Drill: it's four courses, chef's choice.

Lot 6 for apps and cocktails.

Barrington Steakhouse for the best steak you've ever eaten in your life.

La Frasca over Bicycle Thief: it's their sister restaurant and the food quality is so much better.

Two Doors Down: Order the smokehouse burger and deep fried mac n cheese. I swear it's the best burger I've ever eaten

Black Sheep for an insane brunch.

Best sushi: Fujiyama

Best curry: Curry Village, order out because it's not a super dining atmosphere

Also, how did you miss the market stalls at the Farmer's Market?!

[tonny]
