Tess

Chez Tess is a neighborhood restaurant in Halifax, owned by Liz Cunningham. Liz fulfilled her dream of opening a restaurant in 2009 after working in television for 32 years. The restaurant is located on the ground floor of The Nile House on Charles Street, which was built by Liz's friend, contractor Rod Malay. Liz's friends and family helped in the process of setting up the restaurant, creating a sense of camaraderie. The restaurant is named after Liz's mother, Tess, and features a beautiful framed picture of her. Chez Tess offers a seasonal menu and wine list with local products, specializing in inventive crepes and specials. The restaurant has a warm and intimate dining room and bar during winter, and a stunning mosaic-laden patio for summer. Chez Tess aims to provide a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, making it a neighborhood home away from home where everyone can enjoy a great meal with friends, even if they come alone.
