Edna Restaurant

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.

Had a fantastic meal with a group of my girlfriends. We shared many dishes and were blown away but everything but one, which with only a slightly complaint led the server to comping the dish. The scallops and beer tartare are unforgettable. Best service I’ve had in the city he was was charismatic and had us laughing all evening. Edna is now at the top of my list for best restaurants in Halifax!

Had a great experience at Edna! First and foremost the service was incredible. From the moment you walk into the door you are treated like a guest. Our waitress was fantastic and great at recommending dishes. Had the gnocchi and it was delicious. Everyone at my table enjoyed their meals (scallops, braised beef, pork fettuccini). The chocolate torte was fantastic. About 3 or 4 service staff thanks us on our way out the door with a smile. The food was delicious but it's also service like that will bring us back again! Thanks for a great evening :)

Edna is hands down the best restaurant I have been to and I have been to many restaurants. If you are a foodie, this place needs to be on your to do list. The dishes are exquisite. So much effort was put into the composition of these dishes and the flavours in each dish is top notch. We ordered the beef tartare, rainbow trout and squid and they were to die for. I also had the pork pasta, not as good as the other menu items but still better than the pasta dishes served in other restaurants around Halifax. The atmosphere was very warm and welcoming, perfect for date night.

Edna must be on your list if you want to enjoy the best food in Halifax (or even Nova Scotia). Their menu changes seasonally to provide the best ingredients on your plate. I've been twice in the past 2 years and I'm always pleased with their service: very casual and friendly. The small restaurant prices are really good for the quality you get. Everything on the menu is tasty but do not miss the seared scallops, it's divine!

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!
