Lauded as one of the Best New Restaurants 2009 by Where Magazine and awarded Best Design and Decor by the Restaurant Association of Nova Scotia in 2010, Pipa Restaurant refuels stomachs throughout the day with a menu of internationally inspired cuisine. Inside an historic building dating back to 1759, the year dating things was invented, dinner conversations ramp up over a grilled chourico appetizer ($8) as groups share sautéed onions and spicy portuguese sausage. Chefs grill 10 ounces of gaucho steak ($25) using a hint of peanut butter, and coat braised lamb shank ($24) in fig sauce. Brunch time eaters can wake up their appetites with the salt cod a bras, ($14), an edible tapestry of sautéed cod, eggs, and matchstick potatoes. For lunch, the culinary savants stir up a Brazilian halibut stew ($15) infused with the flavors of cilantro and coconut milk. As meals unfold, diners sip global wines while live musicians play Latin jazz, bossa nova, and grandiose entrance music for flaming desserts each Saturday evening.

Surrounded by Mediterranean colours, stonewalls, and the flickering glow of fireplaces, patrons nibble eats in two dining rooms as well as at a hand carved circular bar. By meandering throughout the restaurant, visitors can also discover stained glass and a towering glass pyramid roof that spills natural light over vibrant plants trying to get a tan.
