There’s a reason this is a Halifax waterfront favourite ⚓🥣
Cable Wharf’s Seafood Chowder is packed with a selection of Atlantic seafood, tender new red potatoes, rich cream, and served with grilled sourdough bread for the perfect finishing touch.
Whether you’re visiting the waterfront or planning a local day out, this is one bowl worth making time for.
Grab a seat, enjoy the view, and see why so many people keep coming back for this East Coast classic.

Fresh mozzarella day > just about any other day 🧀
At Roma Cheese, traditional Italian cheesemaking is still done by hand. From burrata and mozzarella to ricotta and scamorza, every product starts with fresh milk and a process that’s stayed true to its roots.
Made fresh, shaped by hand, and worth seeking out. Find Roma Cheese at the Lunenburg, Alderney Landing, and Halifax Brewery farmers’ markets!

If the road trip involves cheese, count us in 🧀
We hit the Nova Scotia Cheese Trail for a day filled with incredible local cheese, scenic stops, and learning about the passionate producers and cheese makers behind each stop.
We also enjoyed tastings from the Good Cheer Trail, Lobster Trail, and Chowder Trail - a true taste of Nova Scotia at every stop!
A special thank you to @squeaky_cheese for guiding us through the cheeses and creating delicious, unique pairings, and to our partners at @dairyfarmersofns for helping bring the Cheese Trail to life.
