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

“amazing brisket!!! will definitely visit again”

“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!”

“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”

“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!”

“Popped in tonight to grab a bite to eat (Solo) before I had to scoot to my shop for the last ladies night. I tried the Lamb Jalfrezi!! What a delight! Lamb was cooked to perfection, and super tender, the veggies (peppers) still had some crunch, beautifully blended spices, basmati also cooked perfectly... I would have LICKED my bowl...however, had some soft buttery Naan to wipe the bowl clean!! My waitress (I'm sorry, I didn't ask you name... you know who you are!!). Lovely, young lady, took the time to chat a bit... it was just what I needed!! Thank you!”

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

“Outstanding quality pastries, sells out very early. Try the morning bun!! Great selection of coffee and tea, beverages”

“The heirloom tomato and the grab and go zucchini sandwich are exceptional and must tries. Limited space for sitting but there is space outdoors. I want to go back to try the different bread samples. Looked delicious.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“just got the broccoli cheddar soup again. so flippin delicious!! comes with a piece of homemade bread. I love the food and service is amazing also. I definitely recommend stopping in there for lunch.”

“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 pizza is AMAZING!!! It is absolutely the best pizza we have had in the last 20 years! Great job!!!!”

Mojo the band, thanks for the best night on Salt Spring Island. Will be back again 100%”

“We had an amazing treat at Ironworks Cafe & Creperie. So many tempting choices, both sweet and savoury. Three of us wanted to share two crepes, and asked if our choices could be cut into thirds. Renee plated the thirds individually with full garnishes. 🌟🌟🌟 We had the ‘Four Berries and Cream” (sweet) and the ‘Spinach, Artichoke & Brie” (savoury). Hmmmmm. Latte was excellent. 🌟 Locally owned, caringly staffed, local ingredients. So impressed. Thank you.”

“Found this by chance. Great environment, friendly staff, very welcoming! we'll be back!”

“Thank you Red Arrow for,being a part of the beautiful Cowichan Valley!!!”
