Restaurants near Cowichan Bay

“This is a must visit !!! The best homemade ice cream . And the fudge is delicious 💕”

“Had lunch for the very first time at Rob’s Lighthouse Eatery yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed my Caesar wrap that Rob prepared exactly to my specs. I could not believe that I was able to purchase two wraps for $24? What an incredible value, not to mention the true blue service by Rob and Heidi. I will be back with all my friends!”

“We love the food, and the couple who run the restaurant are just so truly lovely people. They are, though, run off their feet, so be a little patient please.”

“My wife and I love the Cow Bay view from booths, and overall restaurant ambiance, but it is the food that brings us back. Seafood Linguini, and the Katsu Bowl are favourites. In fact, we’ve just done take out orders of 2 Katsu Bowls, 2nd time in a week. This is a most excellent taste sensation, a combination of Thai (peanut & coconut) Japanese (Katsu crispy chicken) and creamy chow mein noodles with veggies. Try It! Yummy!”

“Had the luck of accidently finding this restaurant. What a find! we were just going in to have appies and cocktails but stayed for 2 hours having a full meal. All was great! We cannot wait to go back and try more of the menu. The service was quite good and food came out quicker than we expected as it was Friday and reasonably busy”

“Awesome neighbourhood pub with the best staff, great food, and an incredible view”

“delicious, fresh, great menu, reasonable prices. the pakoras are amazing!”

“⁣ Earlier in December I was in Duncan running errands and stumbled across Westfalian bakery cafe tucked away in its own little spot. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but inside was a huge assortment of traditional baked goods and Korean-inspired treats! ⁣ By the time I got there (around noon), most of the Korean pastries were already sold out, but out of what I did grab, the carrot cake was the standout; spongy, light, and perfect with my coffee. ⁣ Next time you’re in Duncan, pop in and check them out!”

“We came from Victoria to visit Salt Spring Island, and some of our friends recommended Francis Bread. Guess what? This bakery is absolutely fantastic — everything here is incredibly delicious.
We tried a breakfast bun and a grab-and-go carrot sandwich, and I honestly can’t even describe it with words. Everyone has to try it!”

“Had an early dinner and was pleasantly surprised. The Stir Fry Cashews with Prawns & Green Curry with Chicken was Delicious! Will definitely be going back again! "Thanks"”

“Wonderful service, just a cosy comfortable welcoming coffee spot. Love it.”

“Good service & fun concept. We each got a coffee flight and a crepe. We has so much fun sipping our flights and comparing which ones we liked better. The environment was busy, but pleasant.”

“West Coast Fish N Chips : The fish is cooked to perfection( we usually get cod). The fries are home cut with skins on, have to say coleslaw is a bit chunky for some people who wear dentures.. ( I enjoy it) Staff is great!, the prices have stayed reasonable, maybe because they haven’t renovated 🤔and We love the ambience!!!”

“The Fort is great!! It's a fun place to gather with friends and play some games. Keely especially, really makes the place inviting and enjoyable 😊 I love her customer service, and love going when she's there 💜”

“Fun place to go. Lots of great tasting and visually tantalizing items to leave happy memories in your bellies. Great coffee. Leave the over sized franchises behind, you will only return here. Easy to find parking. Quick in and out. Seating inside. Super friendly and happy staff. A great way to start your day. Or give you that happy pick em up you need during a coffee break.”

“First time there, from Nanaimo for a Geocaching event. I had a London Fog and a Cranberry Lemon Scone. They were both tasty.”

“Me and my daughter went here for the first time for lunch today and that was the best miso ramen we have ever had. So delicious. Real friendly staff. We will be regulars for sure!”

“Been meaning to try this place for a while and glad I stoped by. What a great spot for some ice cream that hits the spot. We got the caramel crunch and apple caramel (seasonal flavor) in kids cones. They have lots of flavor choices to try including a nerds flavor which I will be back for. Great value and looking forward to coming back.”

“Jeff and the whole team always serve amazing food and cocktails. One of my favourite spots....anywhere, not just in Duncan. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.”

“Hello, we go there regularly and really enjoy the food and friendly service.”

“Today we tried the cinnamon twists, jalapeno and cheese criossants, and their breakfast sandwiches. absolutely amazing. The only downside to this visit, is that I won't be able to have more and try their other delicious looking bakery items until I return to Salt Spring. Their staff were also amazing and very good on handwashing between duties. I highly recommended this bakery!”

“The Thai Green Curry was a very tasty coconut cream based spicy curry served over rice. It was a lrfe bowl full. Do order the pillows soft Naan bread at $1.50 extra. The hamburgers were mile high with handmade patties (be aware zero deep fryer available, so no fries).”
