Restaurants in Courtenay

“It is hard to resist buying everything”

“Great food, reasonable prices, excellent fast service, super pleasant staff, and the Takoyaki (たこ焼き) was absolutely amazing 👌🥰👍”

“I stopped in for the first time the other day and the service as well as the variety of flavours/assortments of products were amazing. I purchased some Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream and one home my kiddos gave it a 5 stars and deemed it the best! I also was given a sample of a freshly baked in store bagel with was incredibly delicious! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”

“Hidden gem for sure! Absolutely delicious spicy pork highly recommend! Staff was super warm and welcoming and an awesome selection of fun korean foods, snacks and drinks. The spicy chicken turtle chips were a surprise hit! Our whole experience was a great one. I just wish we got pictures of our great food to show you.”

“Beer good, Burgers good, Good service.. Why have the loud music on at supper time? Very loud and horrible sounding. Most people want to have a beer and eat and chat. Save music for later in evening?”

“The friendly staff make every visit and every occasion special. The menu has something for everyone and items that meet the requirements of many specialized diets. Love the food ♥️”

“I love the Atlas ! every time we’ve been the food is absolutely delicious and unique, and the staff are wonderful. Today we went and didn’t realize it was “all breakfast Sunday”. I had my heart set on clam chowder, with only breakfast food I thought it might not be for me but the waitress was so good we decided to stay and I ended up having the best breakfast Huevos rancheros , it was absolutely delicious .. and I also ordered the wrong type of wine.. well the waitress even changed in the wine for me.. really appreciated her .. thank you Atlas cafe and staff !!”

“Tried it from North Nanaimo for the first time. You’ve gained a new customer!”

“Great accomodating menu with lots of rotating options like soups and baked goods. Amazing drinks and smoothies, I love the "blueberry pie" smoothie. My non-vegan dad is obsessed with the "boss burger." I always get the daily bakery special 😋”

“Got the Dragon bowl. Got the large for 3 proteins. Replaced the bbq eel with shrimp and then added ahi tuna and salmon. It comes with a ramen egg and tomato egg separately as part of the dish. So 5 protein sources in total. Had red cabbage, carrot, green onion and replaced the tomatoes with cucumber. Got the garlic umami and spicy chojang sauce. Absolutely to die for meal. It's nice to eat something that feels both satisfying and refreshing. Unbelievably delicious.

The staff were also both awesome and very helpful.”

“I really liked the burritos, very accurate on how much they put on, but the service was getting a little messed up but they figured it out, 9.6/10 I would 100% recommend this place, never been to one before so this made me really happy trying something so good”

“We stopped in for lunch and the place was "jumping". Nevertheless, the friendly staff found a great table for us, and our server appeared in no time to take our orders. My wife had the mulligatawny soup, which she found delicious. I ordered the gouda and bacon burger and must say that it's without a doubt the best burger I've had in the Comox Valley. We both really enjoyed our lunch and would have no problem in recommending Rhodos Coffee & Bistro.”

“My partner and myself dropped by yesterday for lunch. Very happy with the Baja Tacos and Veggie Burrito. They were both excellent! We will return soon.Thanks!”

“We walked in on a very busy Sunday morning. Friendly greeting, apologies for a bit of a wait. We were seated promptly when a table became available. Top notch service and the food was delicious! We will be back”

“Thank you so much for creating such a beautiful cake for our daughter’s wedding. Simple but elegant, and SO delicious, it was perfect in every way! Michele & The Cakebread Team are amazing! Nancy and Chris”

“My Friend Just Ordered Chinese Food And We Were Pleasantly Surprised Will Definitely Be Going Back! Thank You”

“The chef and his creativity of good food and superb presentation. The ambience and the professionalism of the waiters and waitresses when serving our food specially Jace , he was so pleasant and very attentive to our needs during our dinner. Love your Resto . I will highly recommend it to our family and friends😘”

“Very good food 🍲 and customer service delicious 🤤 soup I will be back soon.”

“One of the few quiet patios in the Valley that are not situated in a parking lot.

Great views, birds chirping, and excellent food choices. Service was friendly although the first staff member we saw gave us a cold shoulder when we said hello.

Menu selection is nicely varied. Decor is classy and open concept. Indoor seating offers great views through large windows.”

“Absolutely delicious every time we go. Super fast from order to table. love the Katsu Sando and the Tonkotsu Ramen. And has Gluten Free Options! edited: and the new Yuzu icecream is adorable and delicious!”

“Sarah is a very attentive well rounded server! great atmosphere and gooooood beer! we will be back when we come back to the island 😁”

“Awesome food, very large servings...”

“Great food and friendly staff.”

“Friendly staff every time. Never had to wait too long, great pizza.”

“Had an amazing experience with this team, so cheerful, helped out when needed and they always have a smile on their face!!! By far the best time in town!!!! Keep up the amazing work!!!”

“Just visited about an hour ago and had a great experience. My order was a bit complicated, but Nikhil got everything exactly right. The food was amazing — fresh, juicy patty with perfect flavor, and the fries were served hot and fresh. Really impressed with the service and quality!”

“I enjoy the Wednesday family night with my kids . staff are very helpful with my chaotic children”

“great coffee, friendly staff”

“We have eaten at Javier's several times and have taken various family members there at different times too. We are always blown away by the exceptional service and the absolutely delicious food. I would give them 15/10 every single time. One of our absolute favourite restaurants. Thank you from Erica and Terry (and all of our family) *********************”

“Best croissant I have ever had!!!!! Will definitely recommend this bakery”

“Sushi Joes has the BEST sashimi! Try the sushi pizza or salad. If you're not a fan of sushi, try the Bi Bim Bap. It some crackling hot with amazing, tasty, crispy rice on the bottom!🤤”

“One of the cutest and most interesting restsurants I have ever been in. Amazing natural woodwork done in very creative ways.

VG service. It is too bad that my veggie burger and coleslaw were just a bit above average. The bun and sprouts were vg, but the veggie patty tasted like something mass produced from a grocery store.

The setting was so cool that I will try again and order something different.”

“Absolute BEST lunch! Homemade delicious soups, sandwiches and more!! I treat myself at least once a week!”

“Prompt, friendly service. Great pizza with generous toppings. Gave a 5 for atmosphere even though it's just a simple takeaway place because the people made it great. Also, thanks for the sauces. We will make this our favorite pizza place 😋”

“Had breakfast there on Saturday. Great food, both my wife and I enjoyed it very much. Also fantastic and fast service. Will definitely go back, prices were also fair in my opinion especially for the quality and quantity you get.”

“Best food and drinks in all of the Comox Valley.”

“Had a typical Saturday morning breakfast at White Spot. Although the food is always good, it was the service that stood out today. Tammy was exceptional. The kind of service that restores your faith in tipping.”

“First time customers! Will be back! No preservatives, fresh! Doesn't make you feel bloated! Tastes AMAZING!!!! 5 STARS!”

“So good, we come from the sushi wasteland of Powell River, just to eat here.”

“I only go to A&W on Ryan Rd.because the others in Courtenay don’t compare to it .The food is always delicious and the staff are very polite . They are on top of keeping it very clean .”

“My favourite sushi joint in town and has been for years! Always such friendly service, the food is always AMAZING and the vibes in the restaurant are cozy and warm. They also have a huge beautiful outdoor patio I enjoy sitting out on in the warmer months. I’m vegetarian and love that they have tons of options for me—so delicious!”

“Don't let the parking or line up deter you. This is the best pizza I've ever had. It is very reasonably priced, loaded with toppings, THICK slices of bacon, fresh mushrooms, just absolutely perfect in every way. Also, possibly the best BLT I've ever had. I can confidently say, that for as long as I live in the valley, I will never get pizza anywhere else.”

“The story of Emilie and Cam's 1st Anniversary blew my mind! Your staff absolutely rocked their experience and proved that you are THE place to go for anytime fun, special evenings and when company comes to town! Knocked it out of the park!!”

“Soooo amazing. The Ferrero rocher cinnamon buns were so good I’m bring some home to my gluten eating family! Thank you thank you thank you!!”

“Every time we’re in the Comox Valley, we somehow end up here. Great drinks, and the café is packed with local art and handmade goods. If you’re nearby, it’s a great spot to visit!”

“Love this little place. I always come for brunch a few times when I am over visiting from the UK. Fantastic food and attentive,friendly staff.”

“Best little coffee shop in the valley!”

“Top of my list for sandwiches and bakery! Super super delicious sandwich combinations and bakery items are amazing. Try the monkey bread on the weekend oh my goodness!”

“The nicest kindest place with the tastiest coffee! We ordered two coffees and a sandwich but left without the sandwich. Totally on us, we were chatting and distracted. When we went back an hour later they replaced it no questions and were so kind about it! Incredible service!”

“Cool spot, good food, great beer, fun local events”

“exceptional staff who love working with the GVL residents”

“I’ve bought their focaccia bread regularly since moving to the valley 9 years ago and their take & bake pizzas are always a 10/10 as well. But today (for the first time) we tried their cinnamon buns and despite me not being a lover of sweets I ended up convincing my kids to share half of theirs with me because they were TO DIE FOR!!! Not to mention, we were there on a year-end Scavenger hunt from our piano teacher and the customer service, kindness, and general friendly vibe was something you don’t often see. Thank so much to all of you amazing staff at Vassili’s! We will (of course) be back and felt fortunate to get to share your amazing gifts with our new-to-the-valley friends!”

“Yummies & Gyros is treating us good with the vegan options. I got the falafel gyro with all the veggies and hummus instead of the tzatziki, 1/2 a vegan spanakopita and one of the vegan sweets they have at the front. There were these chocolate hazelnut bars and some vegan friendly baked goods from Boulder Hill Baking. They also have a vegan baklava. Friendly owner, quick service and fresh and delicious food. Awesome.”

“Had the chipotle tofu main in my burrito, was super impressed. Lots of variety and customisation. Very flavourful burrito. A dairy free cheese option would be good too, and would love clarification on whether any of the salsa are vegan. Only real issue is not being able to swap non vegan items for vegan items. Cheese for roasted vegetables for example is an easy swap and probably more lucrative for the store yet they won’t do it. So instead I will take the cheese on the side and throw away or give to someone rather than allowing the company to save money.”

“Yummy! I ate 2 churros and forgot to take a picture. Fresh, warm goodness!”

“Where the fun begins! Come on down and check out the activities!”

“We ordered pizza for a small celebration and were very happy with the food and the service. The order was ready on time, the price was reasonable and the pizza tasted great!”

“I am so impressed with the beef ribs here! Even down in Victoria, restaurants have downgraded their meat quality to thicker cuts with no fat. Saigon Noodle House does it perfectly. The meat is sliced paper-thin, comes in great portion sizes, and features that delicious, flavorful yellow fat that makes authentic grilled beef ribs so good. The lemongrass marinade and sauce mix is absolutely yummy.
Technically, traditional Vietnamese beef ribs require more fresh herbs, but considering Comox is on an island, getting this served with fresh salad, cucumber, and pickled carrots is awesome. Your imagination easily does the rest because the meat and sauce are so spot-on. If you appreciate a true, high-quality Vietnamese thin-shaved rib, this is the place to get it! Cash only or e-transfer, very easy, just come prepared, staff is super kind.”

“Just love the people that work here !! Every one is so kind. They don't normally give away birthday free stuff but after hearing my daughter had a tough birthday they blessed her with a birthday treat and it made her night ! Thank you guys . Much love 💕 and not to mention it's the best bubble tea I've ever had. We will keep going back ! 🙏”

“Amazing coffee, probably the best vanilla latte i’ve ever had. I always stop here when i come back home to visit my family!!! However their hours don’t reflect when they are actually open, tried to go there and they had just closed up an hour early!”

“The food here is SO, SO, SO GOOD! And the service is even better!! I honestly won’t eat breakfast at many places in the Comox Valley, but I eat here at least once a week. It’s such a treat. The whole staff just feels like family. ☺️”

“Had a great experience this afternoon! Maria was super friendly, patient, and made my sandwich perfectly. Amazing customer service — we’ll definitely be back! ❤️”

“This is my regular subway the manager is awesome went there tonight and they were busy with skip ect and a lot of walk in the older lady there was fantastic will always go there”

“I eat there weekly. Great service and great food. Highly recommended!”

“I am never disappointed in the quality and quantity of the food served here. You out do yourselves in quick and friendly service too.”

“Always great! Milkshakes, Parmesan fries, burgers good service.

Actually one thing I can say is the parm fries and sides can be inconsistent. sometimes covered in parm, sauce, other times not.”

“All I can say is wow! The gyro pita was amazing. Crisp fresh lettuce! The taziki was super tasty. The calamari was incredible and tasty. The baklava was comparable to a resto I ate in Crete last month! Super happy I took the plunge and ordered! Will be ordering more and more from here! Thank you for a great meal!!! SETON, Calgary AB”

“Best prices and best service!!”

“I visited this Subway yesterday and had an amazing experience! Mr. Gill served me, and he was super friendly and helpful. I ordered a footlong veggie patty, and he even suggested a great combination of sauces that made it taste perfect.

What really impressed me was his hospitality — I got there a few minutes after closing (around 9:05 pm), but he still welcomed me in with a big smile and didn’t rush at all. It’s rare to see that kind of customer service these days.

I’m really happy with this Subway and the service I got. From now on, this will be our go-to Subway for me and my family. Highly recommend this location to everyone!”

“My new favorite Strawbery oat matcha Venti size so good less than 200 calorie and Exellent for lunch substitute. This Starbuck the servers are so frendly and pretty”

“food is amazing and the staff are so client focused. We are regulars. Thank you for great service”

“The young gentleman working today (December 14th at 3:30) was awesome. Great customer service and rapport. We went to a couplebooster juices on the island and this one was by far the best. Made the best drinks too!! Thank you :)”

“Love going here for sushi, good prices and family run. You can tell this couple puts their heart and soul into the business. You wait a little bit for food considering it is a cafe but it is SO yummy!”

“Beer good, Burgers good, Good service.. Why have the loud music on at supper time? Very loud and horrible sounding. Most people want to have a beer and eat and chat. Save music for later in evening?”

“Even though you guys had no driver, you went out of your way to deliver to the ER..thank you for feeding us to keep us going!”

“Every time I visit family in Courtenay, we make sure to visit Plates. The last time was a sad affair after a death in the family, and some good food was needed. The compassion and kindness shown by staff was also needed and we are grateful for the that. Highly recommend and will continue going back. Thank you (Jayda!) <3”

“Wonderful Food and cheerful service.”

“A perfect wonderful far out lounge to hang out at and relax and socialize and play pool and very good bartender by the name of Helena who is always super happy to serve customers at any time with a big smile on her face and 100% good customer service and a very good excellent diverse selection of music featuring Top 40-Country music and a little dose of heavy metal. I strongly recommend checking this lounge out you will love it and lounge manager who is also the manager of the Flying Canoe pub Todd looks like Shaggy from the cartoon Scooby Doo. Hey now peace out and have a nice day. Enjoy yourself and rock on.”

“A very nice friendly local pub with very good hard working good hearted caring loving loyal cheerful friendly staff like Tarun and Amanda who are always glad to serve their customers at any time with big smiles on their faces and very good tasting delicious super yummy food and 100% good customer service. Live jazz music every Thursday night and Sunday night karaoke with the 1 and only Milo and the pub manager Todd looks like a member of the legendry British rock band the Beatles. Check tis pub out you will love it. Now peace out and have a good day.”
