Whether it’s a quasi-German beer garden, trendy Italian resto, waterfront brewpub or rooftop party patio, Halifax has lots of great options for soaking up the sun’s rays while cooling off with a nice cold bevvy. There is something for everyone, from starving students to families to health nuts and beer nerds. These are Halifax’s best patios.

Halifax has lots of great coffee shops. Your favourite java place is probably the one in your neighbourhood, where they know your name and what you drink (half-caf no-foam non-fat vanilla soy latte, right?). Maybe you have a go-to shop where you meet up with friends or hold meetings. Or maybe you are a coffee snob and only the best will do!

Surprisingly, Halifax doesn’t have a lobster roll culture on par with the likes of New England. With no local standard, a lobster roll is often an afterthought, carelessly thrown on a menu. But, we have lots of fresh, local lobster and there are a few places doing it right. Some rolls will please the purist by showcasing the lobster, while others incorporate hot butter, rich cream or flavoured aioli to elevate the flavour.
