Much improved since last visit 3 years ago. Would love to see more choices with alcohol free drink options. Good service. Food presentation nice.Vegetarian options: Nice to have more than just a veggie burger option. Pesto would be nicer with pine nuts than walnuts and mushrooms.

A great restaurant to dine at. Definitely recommend going at sunset for the views of the harbour.Food is reasonably priced though sometimes the portion sizes can be a bit lacking for what you’re paying for.Service can be a bit slow too and I’ve felt ignored a few times by the waitresses/waiters when asking for refills/menus/the bill/etc.

I love everything about the Cook and Butcher: the food (oh, the Millionaires Meatloaf - yum), the service (everyone is friendly with just the right amount of attention), and the wonderful atmosphere! It fits the Cowichan Valley perfectly in every way. Love this place!Parking: For as busy as the Cook and Butcher is, we are always able to find parking close by or directly in the lot.

Amazing food. Amazing staff. Amazing view.We are locals and have dined here before but this weekend we are having a staycay in the Oceanfront Suites at Cowichan Bay (where the Cook and Butcher is located) and we've enjoyed their breakfast delivered to our room as well as a quick bite in the restaurant.This is a fun and popular place with consistently great food and service.
