This place is delicious and usually VERY BUSY. They only offer counter service, but our favourite thing to do is call in an order for takeaway, and pick it up to bring home or to the commons.

Entertainment & Activities

The commons is a lovely park right in the centre of halifax. The Oval turns into an iceskating rink in the winter, where skates can be borrowed for free. In the summer it's the perfect spot to play, or sit in the grass with a book. Keep an ear out for free shows there as well.

A lively farmer's market with fantasia food. There are usually buskers and lots of local crafts as well as some farm-fresh produce. We love getting some takeaway and eating it on the harbour.

Our favourite pub in Halifax. They have a great veg-friendly menu and are by far the cheapest place to get a drink. It's a hot spot for live music, which usually starts at 9.
