Canadian Restaurants in Nanaimo, BC

“I've been to Milton Street pub about 10 times and it has always shown itself to be a fantastic place. It has a boat load of character, the food is some of the best in Nanaimo and all the staff are lovely. If you ever go and there is a hotdog/sausage special, get it! Get 2 as a matter of fact. Fatten yourself up on the deliciousness. If it's not on special anything else off the menu is still amazing. Reuben! Caprese! Salad! All amazing. I tip my hat to you ladies and gentlemen! Thanks for all the great eats and hospitality!“

“Service was a little slow but the new waitress that was helping around the tables was very friendly and attentive. The food is very good and the portions are huge. It is a really great place to come and get breakfast when you are on the road. Tania's is a staple in Nanaimo and has been going strong for years. Great reputation and would recommend going here.“

“I recently dined at Melange restaurant, and the experience was great. The ambiance was cozy, the service friendly, and the food was a culinary delight. Kudos to Chef Phil.The menu offer a selection for all, including vegetarians/vegans like myself. I had the eggplant rogan josh curry bowl and the dish was thoughtfully crafted, bursting with flavor. I highly recommend this place for a unique & memorable dining experience!Vegetarian options: GF, Veg & Vegan options available.“

“I have been here several times with my fiancé and family. Every appetizer, meal, and cocktail I’ve enjoyed has been exceptional. The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. The seats are comfortable and I always love the view from wherever I’m sitting. Absolutely my favourite restaurant in Nanaimo when it comes to food, service, and atmosphere!“

“Food was perfect. Probably the worst drinks I've ever had in my intire life. All watered down no flavor. Taste before you serve it wow. Bartender might have been 19 absolutely no clue how to make drinks cause last time I went they were best drinks I've ever had. Very disappointing paying premium price for garbage drinks. Train your staff better or have a separate bar tender please. May never go back.“

“We went for a Friday night after work, enjoyed the lively atmosphere, the music, incredible drinks (I had the Pineapple Jalapeno Margarita) and good food was just what we needed to end the work week on! We had a chance to dress up and fee like we'd gone out for some fun :)“

“Good atmosphere, we had the server Ashley and she was seriously the best! She not only remembered all of our (party of 5's) orders but she was really frequent in checking in on us and making sure that we were satisfied!This was my first time here and my first time having the dish- Thai coconut green curry and it was, I promise you, so delicious! I was full and didn't want to stop eating it! Will be coming here again for sure!“

“The Nanaimo Waterfront Ice Cream shop is a delightful treat for ice cream enthusiasts. With a picturesque view of the waterfront, the setting enhances the enjoyment of their delicious ice cream offerings. The diverse selection of flavors caters to various tastes, and the quality is consistently top-notch. The friendly staff adds to the positive experience, making it a must-visit destination for anyone craving a sweet and scenic indulgence by the waterfront.“

“So glad we stopped by! Alice’s is delicious, such a classic! Great atmosphere, with timely and friendly service. Large portions, great sandwich, and the fish (and chips) seemed so fresh, battered beautifully! I always remember this place being so good, back when I was a kid, and I’m so glad we came back. Looking forward to becoming regulars again. Thanks“

“Visited the little cafe for breakfast, it’s a lovely place. We ordered breakfast sandwich’s, coffee and cream of tomato soup. The food was really good. The place was run by one single person and she seemed quite stressed when it’s busy, she was gruff a bit. You have to pay $1 more if you paid with credit.Wheelchair accessibility: Washroom is accessible and spacious enough for the wheelchair unfortunately the paper towel dispenser is mounted high so could not reach while sitting on a wheelchair.“

“I am so happy I found you!! The wonton soup I got today was amazing!! Broth so flavorful and wontons just perfectly made to my liking. I can't wait to try everything you make as it's obviously made with love. Honestly people! GO GET YOUR WONTON SOUP!!!“
