“We arrived just before opening on a rainy, fall Saturday. The line up was down the road alongside the patio. The gate opened and the restaurant filled up. Sadly, we didn't make it in on the first seating. But it was worth the wait. Tables flipped well after the first wave. Good service and a fine selection of brunch. I'll go back for that crab cake Benny! ❤️”

“Great first stop on the Sunshine Coast!

After a tough ferry wait on Sunday, we made Persephone our first stop on the Sunshine Coast.
It was a beautiful day and despite a big crowd at Persephone we were able to find a shaded picnic table for five. We grabbed drinks and put in a food order. Kelly was lovely and helped with our choices. We appreciated her patience with our indecisiveness!

The Octoberfest draft and the Not-toberfest (cask) were both great brews and our friends enjoyed the hopped cider and the seltzers.

A local musician, Sean Peters, was playing a great variety of music. Especially loved hearing some John Prine and talking with Sean in between sets!

They offer a nice variety of pub fare. There is something for a variety of tastes and diet needs. We enjoyed the pretzel w/ beer cheese, smash burgers, hummus platter, fried chicken w/ spicy maple syrup and poutine and the chicken-poutine bowl. All were tasty and well prepared.

PostScript - we were early for our ferry home so stopped again for a quick drink. Imagine our surprise to have Kelly welcome us back by name! We enjoyed a sampling of different ciders along with a very enjoyable IPA. Another fun stop.

Looking forward to our next visit to the Sunshine Coast!”

“You need to come here more than once to get a good handle on the flavours. They’re all good - deciding is tough!”
