With direct boardwalk access, ocean views, a range of fine dining options, and luxury retail shops, Cunard District at Harbour South is the newest addition to the Halifax Waterfront.
Things to See and Do
Whether you’re drawn to yacht-inspired design and a fresh raw bar at Water Polo, flavour-packed Spanish tapas and paella at Matadora Tapas Bar, or handmade pasta and live-fire cooking at Tribute, this stretch of the waterfront offers elevated dining experiences for those seeking something unique.
If you find yourself in the Cunard District in the morning or afternoon, plan for brunch or afternoon tea at Crème—complete with house-made pastries and dainty finger sandwiches on tiered stands. Take time to peruse the racks at Londonderry Market, a UK-inspired shop specializing in sustainably made women’s fashion, or indulge in an upscale spa treatment at Pastel Skin Clinic.
Planning Your Visit
Getting there
- A covered parking garage is offered at Cunard Residences, with dynamic per-hour pricing and accessible from Lower Water Street. Additional paid public lots, street parking, and bus stops are also nearby. The Halifax Ferry Terminal is about a 15-minute walk from Cunard, making it easy to access from Dartmouth.
Insider Tip
If you only have time for a drink and a snack, grab a harbour-side patio seat at Water Polo (or just sit at the outdoor bar), where a stylish—and impressively large—boardwalk patio is set up for the warmer months.
