The 22 Best Restaurants In Halifax’s North End
The borders of Halifax’s North End aren’t exactly concrete, but most Haligonians can agree that this thriving community of artists and small business owners finds itself between the Bedford Basin and Citadel Hill – although some would say North Street to the Citadel isn’t official North End territory.
We selected twenty-two incredible restaurants from throughout the North End that you have to try next time you’re up visiting this residential area of town.
