Restaurants by Cuisine
“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.”
“Best fare in the region North of Cowichan Bay (after sampling several) and a nice, relaxed place to stop on a visit to Genoa or Maple Bay. Even better after a hike up Mount Tzouhalem! Great setting right on the water
I tried to get a photo of the carrot 🥕 🍰 cake, but it didn't last long enough for a good photo!”

“We hired Taco Revolution for our wedding this September and I couldn’t recommend them more! The staff is so friendly and the food was amazing. All of our guests were raving about the food for days after. It was so nice knowing that they were going to show up, set up, serve and then take down. We also had no issues with items running out and all of our guests were happily full after. It was wonderful having all the different dietary restrictions taken care of and big thumbs up for the nut free kitchen as we had a guest who is very allergic. Thank you so much for everything and I’ll be recommending you to all my friends!”
“Tanadoori Prawns/Vegetables combo was excellent. The place was not busy and the waskrooms were clean but better than average.”
“If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Green curry was exceptional, probably top 3 meals I have ever had in my life. THAT GOOD!
Then we had Austin as our server, he was 10/10. Very friendly, didn’t overstep and provided excellent service. I hope this establishment appreciates how good of an employee this gent is. Very impressed.
Then finally the value for money. Very fair, and couldn’t complain at all. We will definitely be back. Fantastic experience.”

“Love the dynamite shrimp, brushetta and brussel sprouts! (Yes the brussel sprouts)
They have a large happyhour menu with great prices. Large variety of burgers to choose from. Super friendly staff that always make us feel welcome.
Shout out to tracey and meghan. You ladies do a great job with making sure customers are well taking care of.”
“food quality is very poor. Every time I order food or come in to eat the food that's being served is rotten! stop serving expired food and toss it out. Boston Pizza use to be an upper scale restaurant now it feels like an average bar with crappie food that's way over priced. It's truly a shame”
“The food was bland and didn't taste like it had peanuts in the peanut sauce. When I mentioned it, it was like they didn't care and charged us anyway. I left most of it. Very disappointing!”
“Final supper on the island before our journey back to the prairies. This supper was memorable. Large portions, great seafood linguine, good chowder, fish and chips and the shrimp platter. Service was great, our servers were a pleasure to talk with and made us feel valued and welcome. When we return to the island, this place will be on our must visit list again!”

“I had a pedi next door and needed a quick snack. I asked if they had kimchi as I didnt see it on the menu but thought id ask. And she said yes! She went into the back and came out with it. It was amazing! Kimchi has been impossible to find in Duncan, I like it and its very healthy for the gut. What I thought was really sweet. Was how after I paid and was eating, she asked me if I wanted to some rice. And it just seemed like a very kind and thoughtful gesture, I won't forget that. She also made the kimchi. I am so going to be back there, i think its a hidden gem, those are always so fun and special. Thanks for the kindness today!”

“Felt like something fast but not the usual nasty burger. I stopped by here for some teriyaki chicken, and it was great! $16 for a large serving of chicken and sitr-fried vegetables on a bed of rice. There was plenty of both meat and veg. Tasted very good - and it was fast! I recommend!
Vegetarian options: Wide variety of Japanese food choices; some veggie stuff too.
Parking: Lot of parking.”
“Everything GF - pies, pie shells, flour, puff pastry, sausage rolls, etc”

“ 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!”

“By far the BEST little Ice Cream Parlour that I've ever been to.
The food is excellent!
The sandwiches and soup are to die for. Everything is wholesome. Nothing processed.
Thank you for making my Wednesdays delicious!
Looking forward to the fantastic sandwiches you make. My favourite is the Roast Chicken sandwich loaded with chicken, lettuce, tomato, cucumber with potato salad on the side. Sometimes I have the homemade soup which makes my mouth water just thinking about it!
Hmmm... I might just pop in today! 🥰
♥️ June”
“Could use a change in menu and a reno of the Dining area but as it is now....It is a comfortable atmosphere😉
Great place to kill some time when travelling up or down Island.”
“Amazing experience at Great Fermentations. Their Winexpert Eclipse Barolo was truly one of the very best kit wines I have ever made or ever tasted for that matter. I will not only order another Eclipse Barolo wine kit, but I am very motivated to try the rest of the Eclipse line. Typically, it takes a long time to age Barolo wine, the pleasant and knowledgeable staff at Great Fermentations explained how Eclipse kits have a special secret process that makes it possible to have a delicious drinkable wine in a much shorter period of time. Looking forward to my next batch!”
“We are on vacation and decided to eat at the Jacksonville location. The food was delicious! Would most certainly recommend.”

“Today I went Tim Hortons here at 4790 TransCanada Highway, Duncan. It was really great. I have already visited here a lot of times.Jerylin ( name tag Jackie) She She treated every custoemr very well and all the other workers over there worked really well and talk really nicely. So I really want to say thanks to the owner for that kind of Staff and I will visit again. Thank you.”
“Autumn is the best barista. I witnessed a horrible lady being rude to her just now (11am, Tues July 28), after Autumn politely enforced their policy of not grabbing your drinks before the whole order is ready for hand off. This policy is in place for good reason, as drinks can easily be wrongly taken. The lady gave Autumn attitude and came back in to ask for her name, to presumably mention her in a bad review.
You are doing great Autumn, don’t listen to her! To the brown haired mom who was just in, I hope you see this and reflect on your behaviour. Staff are instructed to enforce policy so impatient Karen’s like you don’t take the wrong drink and slow things down for everyone. You should know better and be setting a better example for your kids. Hope this helps 🥰”
“If you want Bangkok street food, this is the place for you. I've been to Bangkok, and this place is legit.
The older I get, the less spice I can tolerate, medium spice was too much for me. Next time, and oh yes there will be a next time. I'll stick with mild.
This is my goto Thai when I'm on Duncan, it's a hidden gem on the main drag.”
“Went on a very busy evening (valentines) with out of town friends. Really want to acknowledge the top notch service! Extremely busy evening but the staff did a phenomenal job!! The food was very good, I was impressed. 10/10 on the lettuce wraps!! Child friendly was a big bonus. We will definitely return.”

“We ordered dinner from Just Jakes/Craig Street Brewpub tonight. Service was phenomenal. The food was amazing, staff were so friendly and the whole process was so organized during this difficult COVID restriction. Highly recommend ordering your next lunch and/or dinner from this business. You won’t be disappointed.”
“I have a son with multiple severe food allergies so we are a bit of a pain when we order food from restaurants. I cannot say enough good things about the Duncan White Spot. They are always SO accommodating with finding food options that are safe for my son. Many (if not all) of their staff are familiar with how carefully food allergies need to be handled. As a parent of a child with allergies, it is a HUGE relief to find a place that you know your child can eat at safely. This White Spot has, and will continue to be, our go to place when we want too eat out as a family.”
“Had a great evening at this locally owned restaurant. Got to meet one of the co-owners and she shared her inspirational story. My sister and I used to frequent Romeo’s in Victoria on Blanchard back in the early 90’s. had the fettuccine chicken Alfredo and it was absolutely amazing. Big portion so we took home leftovers and enjoyed them 4 hrs later and it tasted even more amazing!! Love that this is an indigenous owned business.”
“Food was good all round but the Spicy Curry was exceptional. Service attentive but not in your face. Cost was just over £100 for 2 diners for 3 courses and a bottle of Chenin Blanc. Will definitely return and would recommend.”
“Love all,of the food, amazing miso (not true of every restaurant), fresh sushi, tasty bento boxes, I can honestly say I’ve not been unhappy with anything they’ve prepared for me. But, if I was to tell you my favourite things the first would be the “Monkey Brains” we recently tried. We’ve had this dish in other restaurants and really thought we’d found the best version elsewhere...but we were wrong! Sushi House Monkey Brains are THE best! The spicy chopped scallop roll is a must, and if you like Pho, their soups are delectable. I recently ordered take out Pho and was so impressed when I realized that the broth was very obviously homemade and it was without a doubt the best Pho I’ve ever had. Thank you Sushi House, you’re our go to place!”

“Great pizzas, ordered 4 and they were as ordered. Think the young, very friendly staff member, Titan maybe, was very helpful as he carried the four pizzas to my car as I walk with a cane. The leftover pizzas tasted great warmed up the next day. I would definitely recommend. I also had insulated Panago pizza carriers which the staff had never seen, recommend they sell these again.”
“Tanadoori Prawns/Vegetables combo was excellent. The place was not busy and the waskrooms were clean but better than average.”
“I should have written this months ago. Azam catered my daughter's wedding in October and made it a wonderful and unforgettable occasion. He found everything we needed to have the event in her garden, including the tent and lighting! The food was excellent, totally delicious, and we had a constant stream of compliments. I cannot recommend Azam highly enough.”

“Came in yesterday and the guy at the counter jack I believe his name was super friendly and very efficient with taking my order ;)
the chicken was amazing and super crispy, fries were a little too salty or my liking ( but that comes with trying somewhere and me not speaking up ).
Overall new favorite spot to go too, and cant wait to get to know the people there better.”
