Traditional “Fisherman’s Cove” just down the street and only 20 minutes from Halifax – if you’re willing to make the trip, you’ll want to try our award-winning fishcakes, voted by The Coast readers as Best in Halifax 2011. But the real recognition is our consistent loyalty from local and visiting Maritimers , who say our fishcakes and other traditional menu items taste “just like my mother made.” Our seafood chowder is fresh from scratch and, like all of our soups, gluten-free. Don’t miss our signature all-day, all-local, farm-fresh breakfast.

Emma’s, where the food is like a warm hug from the inside out!
