Halifax is a walking town. You can get almost anywhere you need to go on foot within about a half hour. Whether you’re wandering from the Canadian Museum of Immigration Pier 21 to the boardwalk beyond, exploring the Citadel National Historic Site or heading to Point Pleasant Park to watch the sailboats, you’re bound to get a bit peckish.

Fortunately, Halifax is also a great eating town. Tens of thousands of university students live here, so there’s great pizza and an annual celebration of the burger. Arabic is the most common language spoken after English and French, so there’s wonderful Middle Eastern fare. And you’ll also find plenty of fine dining and high-end pub food. Whether you wipe your gob with white linen or a brown paper napkin, you can’t help but find great seafood. Hungry yet? Pack good walking shoes and bring your appetite.

Whatever you choose from the big menu, you can wash it down with a fancy cocktail or craft beer.
