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.

    Another amazing meal. Every dish is a hit, the flavours, textures and thoughtfulness that goes into each one is outstanding. Thank you Chef Colin and the kitchen team and Tanner, Dave and Peter for being the most hospitable hosts. Already dreaming about our next meal.

    Another amazing night here. Definitely the best resturant on the waterfront and a contender for all of HRM. They have it all sorted out with great food. Extremely friendly and happy staff - that is such a positive. Gluten free is easy here! Worth it for sure.

    Wow! They definitely belong on any Best of Halifax list there is. We love having a chef's tasting menu (with wine pairing of course), and it's even better when you can sit at the kitchen counter and watch the show all evening. It's such a ballet as everyone maneuvers at high speed around each other in a tiny space, and turn out works of art with fabulous taste. Service was perfect, as were the wine pairings.
