lgfromdg Posted May 10, 2008 #1 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Does anyone have any suggestions for a nice local spot for lunch? We'll be taking the Duck tour and would like something nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennyAgain Posted May 10, 2008 #2 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I had an absolutely outstanding lunch at Salty's! It is on the other side of the ferry terminal building in the area that is historic properties. White building with good views of the harbour.

nybumpkin Posted May 10, 2008 #3 Share Posted May 10, 2008 We've had lunch as Stayner's Wharf, on Upper Water Street near Scotia Square. Very good fish and chips and fried clams, as well as Keith's on tap.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapper1 Posted May 10, 2008 #4 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I second the suggestion for Salty's. It is one of my favourite places to eat in Halifax. After you have lunch there, walk a few yards along the waterfront toward the hotel by the Historic Properties and have some Cow's Ice Cream at the little store there on the wharf. No trip to Halifax is complete without a Cow's Ice Cream cone!!! That also holds true for trips to Prince Edward Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PennyAgain Posted May 11, 2008 #7 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I was in Halifax too early in the season for Cow's! There is a Tim Horton's in the Ferry Terminal just a few steps from where Theordore Too docks. We had lunch upstairs at Salty's to get more of the view. Really fine room and the same prices as downstairs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PennyAgain Posted May 11, 2008 #9 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Oh my goodness!!!!! How could you have let that happen?:) I will use about any excuse to visit Canada, but I never dreamed my meeting would be long over before Cow's opened for the season. They had the lights on and everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickT Posted May 27, 2008 #11 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Halifax has a number of excellent restaurants. Saltys is good and right on the water but can tend to be very busy in tourist season. Some other choices for an excellent lunch are Five Fishermmen http://www.fivefishermen.com, Economy Shoe Shop (I know, weird name for a restaurant), Opa (Greek), Granite Brewery, The Lower Deck, McKelvies (seafood), Split Crow (pub), Peddlers Pub plus many more. All are in the downtown core and easy to walk to from the ship. Many pubs in Halifax have excellent food. May I also suggest you try a local treat called a Donair. It's similar to the Gyro but much much better... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyfox0113 Posted June 19, 2008 #12 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Does anyone have any suggestions for a nice local spot for lunch? We'll be taking the Duck tour and would like something nearby. We ate at the Split Crow Pub, local atmosphere. Actually one of the locals suggested it. Apparently it is one of the first pubs in Halifax. Good Seafood.
