    Whenever I am in Halifax I go to Edna. The food is always absolutely outstanding. This time, they even knocked it absolutely out of the park, seriously. I will admit I have never been to a Michelin starred restaurant, but they must be it!!! All dishes were outstanding. My daughter and I shared a salad, appetizer, a pasta dish, apparently app sized, a scallop dish and a desert. We had to order a second pasta dish as it blew us away, cannot emphasis how good it was. I will say we often go for the specials, so the app was fish cakes, the pasta was black garlic and arugula bow tie pasta with basil pesto, boiled egg, ricotta, grilled asparagus and black bean chili (cold dish), and the seared scallops with arugula arancini, endive, asparagus, masago, dill, and smoked tomato beurre blank. we finished with the cinnamon sugar twisted fritter with bananas foster and Deedee's vanilla. OMG they were all so absolutely wonderful and out of this world, in particular the pasta and the scallops. I simply can not describe the balance of flavours and complexity or richness that were on show with these dishes. I will always ensure I go there when I am in town, and seriously, the folks at Michelin should get there and sample what they have to offer, if they have not already.

    I had a great birthday dinner here! I was even serenaded. We had duck spring rolls to start (the sauce was so yummy) and my partner had the Gnocchi & I had the Halibut Cheek, we were both very happy (and both enjoyed a few bites of each other's entree as well). The toffee pudding was the perfect way to end, and I always love DeeDee's ice cream, the sesame was novel and complemented the cake very well!
