Restaurants near Cowichan Bay

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

“amazing brisket!!! will definitely visit again”

“I love stopping by when ever I get an opportunity. Definitely one of my favourite places.”

“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”

“Fantastic place, with a spectacular view! Better than your typical pub food, everything was house made and delicious!! Service was great and made you feel more then welcomed!! Pool tables and dart boards, events happening often to bring community together and live music. It's a great pub with parking below it.”

“Simply put, this has to be the best bakery I’ve stepped foot into in ages. The quality, craft, care and energy is palpable. Front staff were pleasant and efficient, back staff dialled and determined. Music blasting. Line moving. Chocolate chip cookie, morning bun, sausage roll, and ham sandwich were simple and perfectly executed. And the tomato basil drink was strangely delicious.

I was on Salt Spring for 4 hrs and am glad this was the one stop I made!

Nice work y’all. You should be proud!”

“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"”

“⁣ 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!”

“Best Ice Cream I’ve ever had. There is a large variety of flavours to choose from, the service is great and they have take home pints or incredible ice cream cakes!”

“Tasted like Thailand - awesome flavours!”

“amazing food and really friendly genuine service. came here for my anniversary and we were not disappointed! will definately return!”

“We stayed in Crofton for 2 weeks on vacation from Phoenix, Arizona and went here every couple days. It's fantastic!! The prosciutto croissant is heavenly and all the baked goods! Great energy too.”

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

“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!!!”

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

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

“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 💜”

“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!”

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

“This is the best bakery I've been to in years. Baked fresh every day. Great sandwiches, bagels, bread...you name it!
Come early (by 9am) to avoid waiting lining up outside!”

“We were just at this place. Great staff. Friendly. Food is amazing. I recommend Ironworks Cafe. Special mention to Renee, really friendly Thank you Rico and Rona”
