Every time I'm in town I try to make it there for brunch. Expect to wait in line especially on the weekend but it is well worth it! Food is excellent and the atmosphere is sophisticated. They have pictures of actual "Janes" on the walls - I saw a picture of my friend there! more

I've never been disappointed with Jane's. Fresh and local, and a great value. The only negative I can think of is that the menu rarely changes. It would be nice to see some variety, although the standards remain delicious. more

I live in Asia but spent the summer in Halifax visiting family and eating out all the time. Jane's was my favourite restaurant - I probably went here 6 times over the summer! Delicious Eggs Benedict with Sweet Potato Biscuit at Brunch, and lots of fresh seafood for dinners. The decor is relaxed but classy and the atmosphere is really... more

Was in Halifax for a week in mid-July. At Jane's I had an omelet with herbed goat cheese, pancetta and sun dried tomatoes, accompanied by two cranberry mimosas, and topped off by a coconut cream tart for dessert. Jane’s proved to be a small, snappy, busy, friendly place, and this was the best breakfast experience I had on the trip. more

I have been several times and for different reasons and with varied company. We have always enjoyed ourselves. The food is generally above average and creative. The ambiance is fun. Parking is difficult to find. Service is often stretched and could be improved. It is too bad reservations are not taken as it is often crowded by the door which... more

We found this restaraunt on Trip Advisor and decided to give it a try for Sunday Brunch. The eggs benedict was great. Served on a sweet potato biscuit with a fresh salad and roasted read potatoes one of the best breakfasts ever. Was a little on the pricey side for breakfast ($42 + tip). Only complaint was the service was... more

I like the place, and the food is good, but I'm not sure I would agree that it is the #1 place to eat in Halifax. It's a fun place for lunch, hard to find parking, and the food is good. more

I have been to Jane's for lunch and loved it. We returned for dinner at a later date and it was quite average. I suspect the setting and facilities lend thenselves well to lunchtime expectations, but miss the mark where a nice dinner out are concerned. more
