About Us
For the established restauranteur, Kirt Roberts, Fugu has been a dream project for years. The concept of building a fun and lively environment into an upscale sushi restaurant posed a challenge, but has since become a reality at Fugu. Our guests will be guided through a unique cultural experience while enjoying the highest quality food and service in the area.
Our distinct menu emphasizes upscale Japanese cuisine with a twist. The palate will be challenged throughout the meal as you move from exclusive sashimi style dishes from the sushi bar to our signature Fugu filet or pan-seared Salmon from the kitchen.
Enjoy a craft cocktail with a spectacular view of the Halifax river & the Granada bridge or choose indoor dining with a unique decor highlighted with black light murals and umbrellas. Our art was created by local artist Angel Lowden to give our indoor dining room its nightclub vibe perfect for date night.
