“We found Lighthouse Bistro through Google Maps while looking for one of the best restaurants in Nanaimo, and after seeing the waterfront location and reviews, we decided to come here and try it for ourselves. Honestly, it was a great choice.

The first thing we noticed was the view. The restaurant sits right by the Nanaimo waterfront, with huge windows looking out over the harbour, boats, kayaks, marina, and mountains in the distance. The natural light coming through the dining room makes the whole place feel relaxed and special. The patio area outside also looked beautiful, especially with the water right beside it.

For food, we ordered the fish and chips and a chicken avocado salad. The fish and chips were exactly what I hoped for from a waterfront seafood restaurant. The batter was golden, crispy, and light, while the fish inside was flaky, hot, and fresh. It was not too greasy, which I really appreciated. The fries were simple but satisfying, and the tartar sauce, lemon, and coleslaw made the whole plate feel complete.

The salad was also much better than a basic side salad. It came with grilled chicken, avocado, egg, cucumber, greens, bacon bits, and a creamy dressing on the side. Everything tasted fresh, and it was a nice balance after the fried seafood.

Overall, Lighthouse Bistro is a great Nanaimo restaurant. It is the kind of place I would visit again and bring my friends over, especially if they want to enjoy the Nanaimo waterfront while having a good meal. Definitely a 5-star experience.“

“I love the Jingle Pot Pub. The food and drinks are pretty average but the service goes way beyond average. Sherry is a fantastic server and an integral part of this establishment. She always greets us with a warm welcome and provides outstanding service. My husband comes with his hockey buddies and I go with my girlfriend. We all love Sherry. She has a great sense of humor and an incredible memory. I highly recommend visiting for a great atmosphere!“
