bright spot for brunch
great menu for any meal but I especially enjoyed there brunch menu lately where I have a "Maritimer's Breakfast" and a Stella. It was a nice treat having fish/eggs/beans/toast/etc for breakfast
Brunch is heavenly....arrive early!!!
This is the must-go place for Brunch in Halifax...arrive early there is always a line-up! Go wild and get a mimosa! Thanks Jane's, we'll be back!!!
Delicious, Delectable... Just Darn Good
Jane's is a rare gem. It's a tiny restaurant overlooking the Commons that serves high-end, high-quality food at fair prices.
Everyone I know who has eaten at Jane's has enjoyed their experience, even if it included waiting outside for a half an hour or more on a busy day. You should be prepared to wait, but it's worth it!
Jane's uses fresh, local ingredients whenever possible. They also put interesting spins on familiar dishes - one needn't look any further than their unique twist on a grilled cheese sandwich to realize how creative they are.
Brunch is to die for, you can't go wrong with lunch, and people sing the praises of the entrees. Dessert is yummy as well, and their wine list is small but effective, including some organic wines.
Do yourself a favour and get ye to Jane's soon. You won't regret it.

Yummy yum yum yum!! I absolutely love going to Janes On The Common for brunch. Although I have to agree, it is kind of annoying to have to wait for a table, I think that their menu is definitely worth it. I always have a hard time deciding on what to order but have had great servers who know the menu and are not afraid to recommend their favorites - a huge plus for me!I love that Jane's uses... more

Lets talk about the BREAKFAST LAMB burger. This thing haunts me throughout the week. In fact purple now seems like beige after eating this masterpiece...The bar has been set high. You will not find a better breakfast burger or indeed a brunch special. Please join me in trying to convince the owner in making this a permanent addition to the menu.

Jane's On The Common
December 05, 2011
We ate at Jane's On The Common last weekend and it was, as ever, a very good experience. I tried their seasonal special, beef tenderloin with seasonal veggies, followed by the pumpkin cheesecake ~ both were excellent.
I had started off with the local scallop starter, which came with a salad. The wine selection isn't vast, but the service and ambiance are both consistently good. Jane's never...
