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 is the best restaurant I have eaten at in Halifax. We had the tuna, baked oysters, grilled squid, and scallops — all delicious. Service and ambiance were excellent, can’t wait to come back!
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.
We didn’t make reservations, but luckily walked in at 6pm on a Sunday evening and offered a table. We ordered marinated NS pea salad, seared scallops and rainbow trout. All of the dishes had amazing combinations of flavours and textures with decent portion sizes. They have daily specials as well.
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.
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 !

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.
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!
Wonderful dining experience in Halifax. A group of 4 went for dinner to Edna. The restaurant is cute, a bit loud and hot inside but still great. Cocktails excellent, appetizers were fantastic, the Burrata, the Oysters, the salad all flavourful and delicious. Mains scallops, fish and steak equally delicious. And the deserts, lovely. Great service, friendly staff, great price for the food quality so overall excellent experience. Highly recommended.
