Edna

Had a fantastic dinner here. Excellent flavours all around. Started with the Beef Tataki and Brussels sprouts with peanut sauce as standout starters. Both had creative takes vs standard sauces. Very impressed by the balance of savoury sweet and tangy. The burrata toast though ok lost some of the wow of burrata with the pieces being a bit small and over powering the mild cheese. For mains had the Ribeye, Lamb Gnocchi, Scallops, and Halibut Cheek. All were excellent and great flavours. Cocktails were also stellar having tried the mezcal and tequila based ones. This place is definitely a bit of a hidden gem. Surprised that we were able to get last minute resos. Highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic one of the best meal's I've had, great drinks. Got the beef tartar and the rainbow trout with a I think "i carried a watermelon" and a "nice weather out" all amazing. Wonderful spot 100% recommend

Went with a group of friends, a reservation is a must. My partner and I got some oysters, a ribeye and a smoked pork fettuccine. Everything was delicious! The ribeye was a bit on the saltier side and the fettuccine a bit on the lighter side. Would go back to the restaurant

Service was great and my wife and was happy with her meal, however I ordered the most expensive item on the menu being the the steak. As any good restaurant does they asked how I would like the steak cooked, I ordered medium rare. When the steak came it was cremated (well done). I immediately sent it back, when the second one came the lady who brought it the table made some suggestion about steak cooking levels being interpreted differently between different people (or something), anyhow 2nd steak was presented exactly the same, by this point I was hungry and didn’t want to embarrass my partner by sending the steak back a second time as it was our anniversary so accepted it but kinda suggested to our waitress it was the same. Shame because this place has all the ingredients to be great but fails on execution. Even if it was just because they were busy I feel they could have done more to manage expectations.

We were very well treated, the girls are very nice. The food was good (good quality made with local ingredients). I reccommend the visit.

Repas très savoureux, les huîtres et l'assiette de pétoncles étaient délicieuses! L'ambiance est agréable et le service est courtois et efficace.

This meal is absolutely the one to beat when it comes to our down east travels - we don’t think it can be topped! We came in for an early dinner after a recommendation from a friend and we were not disappointed. The staff were all lovely and extremely attentive. Service was fast and we had food at the table very quickly which is appreciated when travelling with a little one. We enjoyed the steak tartare and crispy Brussels sprouts to start - loved them both, especially the vinegar in the Brussels. Our little one enjoyed the trout which was juicy and topped with a lovely parsley salad. The dish that stole the show and our hearts was the steak - wow. It was served with fingerlings, mushrooms and a pea purée. Absolutely delicious. We will be dreaming about this until our next visit. Thank you for a lovely and memorable evening!

We came in on a recommendation, and we were very pleased. The food is incredible. Between the two of us, we got two separate apps, and mains, and shared. Honestly, everything was top notch. You must try their food!

Amazing experience. Food is absolutely a must try (we had the half charcuterie board, the trout, the gnocchi and the sticky toffee cake). The cocktails are amazing and so unique, I would really recommend for any kind of occasions!

We had the pleasure of having Cora as our server. She was awesome and adorable. The food and atmosphere was warm and lively. A bit on the loud and festive side but very lively in the best ways.

Incredibly delicious (and complex) food! Staff are talkative and friendly. Been multiple times and both food and service were consistently above average. Not to mention great atmosphere and space.

I waited in line for a long time in the morning and had brunch. It tasted good and the service was good! It’s a nice environment to go shopping around!

Cute little place serving up delicious food! Honestly, everything was perfect and we can't wait to come back!

Nous avons dégusté le saumon, les huîtres et le poisson du jour. Bien que le saumon ait été un peu trop cuit nous avons vraiment apprécié le plat du poisson avec sa salade parfaitement assaisonnée, et ses pommes de terres finement sucrées. La serveuse était également impeccable. Le toffee en dessert était bon sans être exceptionnel. Soirée réussie. Saumon en photo.

Edna is a must for anyone in Halifax who enjoys fine dining. The food is excellent, the ambiance is romantic, and the service was outstanding. I would recommend it to anyone.

Incredible experience!
We had expected a lot from Edna as several of our friends had mentioned it for our trip to Halifax. Without a doubt, this place delivered. We were seated along the windows at the front of the restaurant, allowing us to watch the foot traffic on the lively street. The restaurant is long and has a wonderful wood and brass arch anchoring the room and housing the seated bar.
We started with tuna poke and fried oysters. Both were fantastic. We shared the scallops and striped bass for mains. Both completely amazing dishes. The scallops had squash of all kinds, prepared in a several different ways. Bringing some savoury to the dish was cubed, fried ham bits. The bass was the special and came together nicely with bok choy, creamed kale, and baby red potatoes. It was mouth-watering. Just incredible.
The portion size was sensible and we had little room for dessert. We managed to wrap our lips around a sticky toffee cake served with black sesame ice cream. Unreal.
Our server was extremely mindful and friendly. With great suggestions from the menu (and things to do around town), our experience was made complete by the outstanding service.
You must eat here if you are in Halifax.

We chose Edna’s for a special anniversary celebration on the recommendation of a friend. The service was warm and efficient, and the food was excellent! We shared the delicious brussel sprout starter, and then were blown away by the steak and the scallop dinners! So happy we chose Edna’s!

Yes to everything! Curated oysters, fresh pasta, hot sauce for the oyster aren't bought, but made in house. Atmosphere definitely matches the service and food.

EDNA is the best restaurant in Nova Scotia. The food creative and inventive without ever veering into pretention. The service staff are lovely, knowledgeable and anticipate your needs without being over the top or intrusive. The vibe is perfect for an intimate date or lively celebration. In a city full of ultra trendy restaurants vying for your money, EDNA stands out as an homage to East Coast hospitality and the bountiful harvests, catches and beverage offerings of our beautiful province.

Without question the best food and drinks in the maritimes. The staff is so knowledgeable about every aspect of the dining experience that even the bartender knew every step of fermentation process for just one of the hot sauces! My only concern is that I won’t be able to get back again to have the brussel sprouts, tartare and gnocchi before the next menu change!

Hands down my favourite restaurant in the city! The food is consistently divine and the atmosphere is perfect for a date night, solo feast or get together with friends!
