“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!”

“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”

“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”

“Francis Bread nails every detail, from their perfect sourdough to the incredible ham – tender, smoky, and sliced paper-thin with absolute precision. It's the kind of ham that melts in your mouth and pairs flawlessly with their fresh, crusty bread.

The whole experience is thoughtful, from ingredients to presentation. Quiet, humble, and unforgettable. Don’t miss 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"”

“No hyperbole, this is the absolute best coffee shop I've been to, and I've been to a lot. Fantastic and fresh baked goods, unique sandwiches, and phenomenal coffee.”

“best butter chicken ever. nice friendly staff. definitely our go to place !! husband celiac and hasn't had any problem eating here fay and roger”

“The best ice cream in the Cowichan Valley - it's the spot we recommend all our friends try. Always new flavours, and always delicious; including some I've never had before like pumpkin pie, carrot cake, and apple pie. Caramel crunch is a family favourite. We usually buy a scoop and then walk down to the trail at government wharf.

The owner and staff are always very friendly.”

“Taco Revolution catered our wedding and it was so great. They arrived on time and were set up ready to go at the scheduled time. our guests raved about the food and got to keep going back until they were full. We also added the watermelon/jicama salad and it was a refreshing addition. we would highly recommend this food truck for your event.”

Definitely a must in Duncan”

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

“Amazing food. Great staff. Been going for years, and still plan on going for years more”

“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!”

“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.”
