We hold 513 venues in Halifax — 479 places to eat and 34 to stay. That is more than anywhere else in Nova Scotia, and 23% of everything mapped across the region. Nationally it sits 18th out of 6,205 places.

Of the places to eat, 24% are cafés against a national figure of 19%. Halifax is 5 points more café-heavy than the country as a whole, which usually points to daytime and weekend trade rather than an evening dining scene. The full split is 117 cafés, 202 restaurants, 97 takeaways, 27 bars and 36 pubs.

225 of the 479 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are coffee shop (39), pizza (35) and sandwich (16). Relative to the rest of the country Halifax is unusually strong on pub, cake and canadian — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.

On the practical detail: 177 publish opening hours (35%), 124 are recorded as step-free, 10 have outdoor seating and 13 flag vegetarian options. Coverage here is better than the 21% national average, so the hours below are more reliable than most.

For a bed, Halifax runs to 34 listings — 24 hotels, 2 motels, 4 b&bs and guest houses, 2 hostels and 2 serviced apartments. Hotels dominate, at 71% of the town's accommodation.

Places of a similar size — Victoria (510), Waterloo (519), Gatineau (491) and Québec (561) — average 8% accommodation. Halifax runs at 7%, much the same, so on this measure it behaves like its peers.

All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 41 of the 513 venues in Halifax carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
