“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.”

“We’ve been there several times and always had a good experience. The food has been delicious every time. The gazebo is great in sun or rain. Absolutely recommend this little gem for a casual meal any time.”

“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.”

“⁣ 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!”

“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"”

“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!”

“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!”

“everyone was incredible welcoming and friendly, excellent service and quality.”

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

“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!!!”

“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”

“I have ordered meals for work lunches twice from Hanks.
They go above and beyond to accommodate dietary requests (if it is within their limitations) and always communicate well.
The staff are friendly and efficient.
I’ve not dined there but would assume it is as great as the food and service.
I highly recommend Hanks”

“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 💜”

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

“They were so friendly. The food and drinks were amazing. The place was so cute as well. Definitely hope you guys can find a bigger spot in the future because you guys deserve it! My daughter and I will definitely be back!”

“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!”

“A true gem. Quaint treehouse in the midst of Ganges. Fabulous food and romantic at night with the fairy tree lights. Loved their homemade soup and quesadilla! We could hear live music from our evening at the marina wafting through the sea air, and made note that they have live music some evenings. This trip we enjoyed breakfast early in the day and there was quite a lineup waiting for it to open. It filled up quickly. Outside seating is available during summer months. The food is always good. A definite gem nestled in the trees. It’s good for families with a children’s menu available. Reasonably priced food. You may want to bring something to keep the kids busy while waiting though as when it’s busy you may be waiting a few extra minutes. Enjoy! Tell them Dee sent you. 😉”

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