I found out about this place because it is close to work (kind of hidden on Charles St), and I have been here a couple times, but only for lunch (went as a group from work). They have different menus for lunch and supper. It is a great spot, quaint and would be nice to go to when the weather... More

Had breakfast there, the French toast amazing along with Sweet Wm sausages. Plus pure maple syrup. Cant go wrong. Hopefully once they add some sound absorbing material in the dining area, it wont be so noisy. Looking forward to using their outdoor deck. Will be back.

I had given up on Tess, a creperie in my neighborhood, until I was dragooned there recently by a group of friends. I was surprised and delighted to find that the portobeelo filled crepe I was given was exceptional. It was generously filled; the mushrooms were extremely tender and the accompanying sauce was delicious. A fillip of goat cheese topped... More

I am a big Crepe fan and didn't even realize this was in Halifax except for a Groupon mail out. I am glad I took advantage. It is a small little place located off Robie Street on Charles street - a hike from downtown yet I will be back just based on the fine food. It is a crêperie so... More

I really enjoyed their brunch menu. So many decisions it was hard to decide. The Belgium waffles were fantastic. And finally a restaurant that has chamomille tea. That absolutly made my day. And the waitress was very polite and attentitive to my allergies and was the best waitress I've seen in a very long time. Definately a place for everyone.... More

I took my wife here for a Valentines Dinner (one day late); it was our first time and we both thought the restaurant was very neat. It is not far from a not-so-nice part of town, but the area is improving and I don't think location is a problem at all. There was ample parking on the street out front,... More

I have eaten here several times for breakfast and it is always good. Cute little breakfast crepe pockets, delicious deserts and excellent service. It's particularly lovely to eat out on their patio on a summer morning.

This restaurant offers Halifax diners one of the best food experiences. Imaginative use of flavours and freshest of ingredients ensures plates satisfy most tastes. Desserts are a bit pricey but divine in textures and satisfaction

When Chez Tess is working well the food can be great. But I find that it can be pretty hit and miss. Never awful, but definitely not always up to the promise. I had one experience where the owner was seating people on the lovely front patio. She passed us 3 times without even acknowledging our presence. When I signalled... More

Now just called Tess. It is a lovely out of the way spot, great food, very nice atmosphere! Great for a romantic encounter or a small group! Thank you Jaz for great service! Charles St. location, just off Robie - not far from anything - Find it - you'll love it!
