Dine along the Nova Scotia Chowder Trail
Nothing is more comforting than a bowl of seafood chowder when the cold weather strikes. Explore the province’s most distinctive and mouthwatering chowders, ranging from affordable to luxurious, by following the Nova Scotia Chowder Trail. You can even gather stamps from participating restaurants to enter contests and win prizes.
Nova Scotia has a firmly preserved culinary identity thanks to the centuries-old practice of making chowder, a creamy soup, in kitchens across the province. Take the Chowder Trail to discover its many variants.
Take the kids out for an unforgettable day
