Tribute is a unique restaurant located on the Halifax Waterfront. Defined not by a specific cuisine, but by a place - Nova Scotia - Tribute sources the best local ingredients to pay homage to authentic, impactful dishes with international influences, showcased through live fire and charcoal cookery in an open kitchen-to-dining room. With a fun and elevated approach to East Coast hospitality, Tribute is open for dinner Wednesday through Sunday, offering a chef’s tasting menu and wider options a la carte, paired with nimble wine and cocktail lists. Menus will change often to highlight seasonal ingredients from Nova Scotian farmers and producers.

    We had the tasting menu at Tribute Restaurant, with a few add-ons to share — and it was unreal. Every dish was perfectly balanced and full of creativity. The steak and pasta were absolute standouts — some of the best we’ve had anywhere. The wine pairing was a must — expertly paired and elevated each course. As foodies who love to travel and experience fine dining around, Tribute ranks highly amongst our top recent meals. Without a doubt, the best new restaurant in Halifax.

    The food was exceptionally amazing! My wife called it pretentious before we went, but once we got there, she loved the smoked bacon and chowder! The homemade pasta was amazing too! 😋 #Food #Restaurant #Pasta #Bacon #Chowder #Wife #Dinner

    It was great experience, food was really good with the exception of the white beans with my scallop/pork disk. They were undercooked and not a great texture but it could be personal preference. Service was amazing, our servers was great and the greeting was top knotch! Will definitely recommend and go again

    Absolutely delicious food - the best restaurant addition to the Halifax waterfront in decades. I wrote a detailed review on Trip Advisor with photos - cannot recommend this place enough.

    Tribute was too expensive, the food portions were small and the music was loud and annoying. However the staff were very attentive and service was great. We tried 2 dishes - a very good chicken and an inedible (awful tasting, it might have been spoiled) lasagna. I mentioned the bad lasagna and the staff took the price off our bill.
