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 an exceptional dining experience all around with 2 of us or ordering the chef table and 2 ordering á la carte. The team was especially attentive to explaining the gluten free aspects of the menu, food prep, kitchen/cooking which we truly appreciated. A special meal.

    We had such a wonderful time at Tribute. The hostess’ were so accommodating when making a reservation, and welcoming when we arrived. The servers were prompt and efficient without being overwhelming or making us feel rushed. The menu offered a variety of options that met everyone’s expectations. The quality and taste of the food is some of the best I’ve had in Halifax in a long time. Although pricey, it is well worth it. The restaurant is tight knit, and tables are close, so it was a bit loud with a few larger parties around us, but could be expected for any nice place downtown on a Saturday night. I would absolutely recommend!
