About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Hot spot
  • Innovative
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.

    Excellent service, including great recommendations by both our server and the sommelier. We appreciated their care and attention to detail. The steak and pasta were highlights. Restaurant was boisterous with fairly loud music.

    Very tasty food! The steak came out just as I had seen pictured and was cooked perfectly. Service was also quite attentive. Was a pricier meal but everything we had was delicious! Would recommend for an occasion!

    Superb all around. Food is spectacular and the best I’ve had anywhere. Colin is an innovative Chef who uses fresh local ingredients. The food is not overly excessive with different flavors as many restaurants do and to me are over the top. Simple, elegant and delicious delicious with flavors shining through. Congratulations Colin, well done!

    This restaurant is a jewel in Halifax's excellent dining scene. Open kitchen with counter seating, wood fired grilling pit. The food is exceptional, plating artistic, and service impeccable. Shout-out to the wine program which is impressive. Highly recommended!
