Peacock

Location: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

Year: 2022

Awarded: Canadas Best 100 - One of the Top 10 Best New Restaurants in Canada 2023

Inspired by the colourful peacock, this new Oliver & Bonacini Wine Bar at The Queen’s Marque exudes a sense of whimsy while curating a sophisticated food and beverage menu. Exotic imagery in combination with the furniture in dramatic hues and lighting elements create an electric venue, where although there are many seating options, there isn’t a ‘bad seat in the house’.
