This little gem of a restaurant serves drool worthy locally sourced seasonal fare that will make your mouth water. They offer a true culinary delight! The restaurant is cozy and chic and the owner and staff are warm and welcoming as well as generous with their knowledge and work with other local businesses. My new Halifax go-to and one of my all time favourite restaurants as a world traveller.
I absolutely endorse the perfectly worded and spot-on Google review from Emanuel Tortorici!

Might be the best eggs benny in the city! The only downside was my sister and I went on a whim for Sunday brunch and they seat walk-ins at the bar. While the seating was uncomfortable, the friendliness of staff and the atmosphere made up for it 🙂

I was visiting Halifax while working, decided to take a walk on my lunch break and stumbled upon this restaurant! I vaguely remember the driver who took me to my hotel mentioning it being loved by locals and didn’t think much of it since then.
When I went on my walk k didn’t realize how close I was and decided to give it a try since I had some time. Boy oh boy am I glad I ever stopped in! This place was amazing.
I was greeted by friendly staff and sat immediately, the sever was very attentive and provided great recommendations. It was only my second time having gnocchi and I don’t think I could ever eat another gnocchi dish again, it was absolutely amazing! My only negative thing to say is that I didn’t get to go back and have dinner!
Definitely recommend to try this place out!

I just had a culinary adventure at Edna’s in Halifax that was nothing short of spectacular. The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable, I felt like I was dining with my own personal food guru! And the food? Insanely good—like if flavor and perfection teamed up for a gourmet showdown. We devoured lobster toast, beet salad, braised beef grilled cheese, and beef tartar. Each bite was a flavor explosion that left my taste buds in a standing ovation. We will be back!

Halifax stop….. why are you so amazing?! I can’t get enough of the cool unique spots here and Edna is definitely one of those.
Spotted it on the concer and popped in the check it out. Super moody and romantic. Not that I am a designer but I feel like they nailed the mod century modern on a ship…
Lovely staff. We got served fast and well. The beat way to get served.
We got the starter on special. Some char mousse business that was delicious. Then we had the scallops and cod for mains. I mean wow.
The way the green mixed with the sauce and the main on both dishes was phenomenal. Cooked to perfection.
Then the dessert. We had the sticky coffee cake with black sesame ice cream. Yeah you heard me. I can’t even. It was sooo good. Black sesame?! Yeah… they did. Nailed it.

Truly our favourite restaurant in Halifax. If you’re a foodie, you love supporting local, and prefer off the beaten path, Edna has to be on your list. Service is always above and beyond. Servers know everything about the menu. Food and cocktails are timely. The atmosphere is cozy, rustic, and refined at the same time. The menu is always changing with seasonal produce and local ingredients. Chef created amuse bouches will always introduce you to new flavours. And a sneaky good corking fee for wine lovers if you like to bring your own wine (only $15). We love it so much we did our private vow exchange here on our wedding day ♥️

I swear I’ve written a review before so let me just summarize: this year I’ve been here for 2 dinner’s and most recently brunch.
Brunch scones: 2 chocolate chip scones (with the small cheap chocolate chips) was crispy on the outside but tasted like a soft cookie on the inside so it felt off to put maple butter and jam on it. 1/5 as a scone 3/5 as a cookie
Salmon Benedict: eggs came poached hard, even though I requested soft. It was Luke warm (probably why eggs were hard) served with very little hollandaise on the thinnest slice of baguette I’ve ever seen (it was cracker thin), it came with two small crispy hash brown type things that were amazing and a salad with a great citrus dressing.
My husband had the fish cakes that did arrive hot, were tasty, with more hollandaise than me, and same potato and salad.
I was a bit upset with my salmon Benedict but the rest was okay 4/5
I had two other dinners: one was not good (had the zucchini blossom appetizer that was the oiliest thing – literally 1 fried blossom came on a bed of oily seeds/nuts, it was gross) I can’t remember what else I ordered but I was upset 2/5
And the first meal this year was great, I only remember the fried oysters were amazing, everything else was good (their little appetizer special and mains) 5/5
If only my last two visits were as good as the first. Not sure if I’m going to come back again

We went to Edna for Mother’s Day and had a fantastic experience. My mother is Celiac, and the staff were very careful and accommodating, which we truly appreciated. Everyone loved the food and drinks, and we had a lovely evening together. My partner’s steak was served cold, but the team handled it quickly and brought a new one without any fuss. The tuna was my personal favourite dish of the night—absolutely delicious!

This place was highly recommended by friends. Totally exceeded expectations. The ambiance is relaxed and non-pretentious, service is great and the food is by far one of the best I’ve had this year. The chef must have an incredible palate to come up with his delectable creations. We started with oysters both shucked and baked. They were very fresh and the baked oysters were perfectly cooked, not overdone. The mackerel special was very delicious and well balanced with complex flavours while not overpowering. We finished with the chocolate torte – what a great way to end the evening. I will return.

Our server was by far the most informed and attentive I have encountered in a very long time, unfortunately her name escapes (but she is only there in the evenings). We started with the Burrata, delish. I had the Braised Short Rib and it was amazing, sure didn’t need a knife for the beef, it was so tender. My friend had the Seared Scallops. Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant for both the outstanding service and excellent meal…did I mention the presentation of each dish was stellar. Definitely on my return list.
