Doors Open – Bellies Full
DOORS OPEN 2016:
This year, while you take in some of the most interesting buildings in Halifax, make sure to take a moment to eat. Doors Open Halifax on June 4 and 5 gives free access to buildings of historical, contemporary or architectural significance, but all that history and architecture is sure to make you hungry. Let’s take a look at some great places to eat while you make your way around this year’s stellar line up of Doors Open Halifax buildings.
Gio
While you’re in zone one looking at the Town Clock, Cambridge Military Library or the Royal Artillery Officer’s Mess, make sure to check out Gio on Market Street. Both fun and fancy, Gio serves up a culinary adventure. Come in for the food and stay for the atmosphere. With sommelier-selected wines and four-diamond food service, you’ll be happy you stopped in for a bite.
McKelvie’s Restaurant
Once you make your way to zone three to see Scotiabank Main Branch, Founders Square and Dominion Building, grab a bite at McKelvie’s Restaurant on Lower Water Street.
McKelvie’s opened its doors over 30 years ago but the building has been around since 1906. Originally used to house horse-drawn fire fighting equipment, this premium seafood restaurant has food for the stomach and for the soul. It offers a beautiful waterfront view and some of Nova Scotia’s finest foods.
Scanway Catering & Pastry
Finally, you’ll need something sweet once you walk through beautiful zone six. With interesting buildings like Government House, NSAA offices, Provincial Courthouse, Spring Garden Road and Dalhousie School of Architecture, a treat will only add to the fun.
Scanway Catering & Pastry has just what you need to satisfy that sweet tooth. With only the freshest, highest-quality ingredients used in every dish, you may not want to leave. Come in, grab a coffee, a slice of cheesecake, a famous doughnut or maybe even a savoury sandwich. You won’t be disappointed you stopped in for a break.
Have fun, learn and EAT!
This year promises to be an exhilarating Doors Open Halifax event June 4-5, 2016. So, don’t miss out on all the exciting locations just because your belly won’t stop rumbling.
