Your demand for reasonably priced fare made from scratch with fresh local ingredients is a tall order. But no need to lug out the ladder, jane’s on the common brings it to the table.

Since opening in 2003, Jane Wright has nurtured her culinary namesake into a slice of foodie paradise. 

Day or night, the restaurant’s warm interior beckons. Yellow and deep red walls, black tables, chairs and blackboards create a relaxed yet classy atmosphere.  Conveniently located across the street from the Halifax Common, jane’s is the perfect place for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. 

A founding member of Slow Food Nova Scotia, jane’s head chef Paolo Colbertaldo loves to use locally sourced ingredients. Start your day right with the Nova Scotia smoked salmon and crisp potato latkes served with lemon sour cream and local free range eggs – tasty and gluten free. 

Want fresh haddock for lunch or dinner? Your fillet is line caught, a nod to the sustainable seafood movement. Lightly breaded on one side, it arrives topped with your choice of Nova Scotia apple and cranberry chutney or bacon-horseradish tartar sauce.

Whet your locavore whistle with an organic Bloody Mary made with Prince Edward Island potato vodka. 

jane’s is sure to exceed of your expectations, but there’s one thing you can’t demand – a reservation.

So arrive early for a not-so-common experience.
