“Stopped in at this Tim Hortons on the way to Parksville/Qualicum and had a really great experience. The people working there were super friendly and welcoming, which made it such a nice break in the drive. Service was quick, the food and coffee hit the spot, and the overall atmosphere just felt really positive. Definitely a great place to stop when you’re heading through!”

“First time having a bar burrito. It was excellent, good value for your money. Very friendly staff. I will be back!”

“came to this bistro for the first time on March 22, 2025 for a surprise 70th birthday for a family member. Found the setting comfortable, the staff knowledgeable, friendly and the service top notch. Ordered the platter for two and it was so good, the calamari was the best!! Our table numbered 15 people and all food arrived hot and all family was eating at the same time. This bistro is amazing!! As we travel to Gabriola Island fairly often, we will be stopping here for dinner again!!”

“Hands down one of the best Brewery’s we’ve been to on the island!! The beer was fantastic and the food amazing! We had two kids under 4 and can confirm very family friendly. We will be back again and again”

“I came over to Nanaimo with some friends with the EXPRESS mission to taste the best Nanaimo bars ever. We drove in Saturday afternoon and found out that sickness had taken the bakery by storm. I made a comment on thier Facebook page just saying I had driven in to taste the best bars and was so sorry that sickness had taken them; the owner commented that they would be at the shop filling an order and to stop by and that I did..16 bars later 😂 I cannot thank them enough for thier hospitality and I can say with confidence that these are THE BEST bars EVER!! The cooler is full and now I truly understand the reason that they are #1. Many thanks again to the crew of Red's Bakery, you all are top tier!! ❤️”

“We were a group of three for lunch yesterday. I had been going to Greek restaurants in Vancouver for 40 years before I moved back to Ucluelet. The wonderful experience surpassed all of the past ones with the best authentic lamb souvlaki and tzatziki, exceptional service and welcoming atmosphere I have ever experienced. Huge kudos to a truly destination restaurant.”

“Excellent friendly service paired with delicious food. This has become a regular spot for us. Delicious every time!!!!”

“On a brief trip to Nanaimo I was so pleased”

“New Best Chicken Place Ever. We come from Parksville for this super tender and always juicy offerings of chicken greatness. I’m fussy, not gonna lie. Always served fresh and hot. Light crispy not greasy battered chicken. Fresh oil is obvious. 😁Breasts for sandwiches, tenders for tenders, Wings for wings. What’s nice is that for bone in chicken, what you get is juicy flavourful thighs and drumsticks. They have sides as well. We need to embrace Flamez Chicken. Check them out, won’t disappoint. These guys stay open till 3 am on Friday and Saturday, Midnight the rest of the week for the late night chicken cravings, or a late dinner. Thanks guys for thinking outside the box and staying open late night. I hope business only gets better for you.🤙💕🏝️”

“Sushi was THE BEST we have ever had!! Staff are super friendly and helpful!! Prices were reasonable, atmosphere was busy, and fun!!”

“We are from Red Deer and this restaurant is in my Son's neighbourhood. We dined there and had the bison ribeye and chicken club wrap. Both were truly delicious, the wine and the service was great. Can't wait for a return visit!”

“We had an amazing treat at Ironworks Cafe & Creperie. So many tempting choices, both sweet and savoury. Three of us wanted to share two crepes, and asked if our choices could be cut into thirds. Renee plated the thirds individually with full garnishes. 🌟🌟🌟 We had the ‘Four Berries and Cream” (sweet) and the ‘Spinach, Artichoke & Brie” (savoury). Hmmmmm. Latte was excellent. 🌟 Locally owned, caringly staffed, local ingredients. So impressed. Thank you.”

“Always great food. Fresh and hot and quite authentic :)”

“very nice little cafe with lots of greenery.”

“Excellent customer service!”

“The food was good overall. I’d rate it a 7.5, and my wife gave it an 8. The spicy pho soup I had was a bit too sour for my taste—something like a sate spicy soup would have been a better fit for me—but the spring rolls were fantastic. My wife had the vermicelli and really enjoyed it.”

“I’m a meat eater but we went here for my wife who is a vegetarian and I was absolutely 100% satisfied. Even our 7 year old son ate every bite! I think that’s the first time I’ve felt I’ve indulged in Chinese food but felt like a healthy choice. DELICIOUS.”

“Gangsta sammich and truffle fries. ⭐️10/10”

“I just called twice and got hung up on both times before someone even took my order! Extremely poor service!”

“Best pizza around 🤌🏻 the sweet garlic dip is to die for 😮‍💨”

“food has always been great, the price is the best in town and the owners are lovely. Only place we will go for Sushi now.”

“So refreshing to see a small company take such a beautiful and influential stance on love for every icecream, of every colour and origin story!! (we aren't just talking about ice cream). 🩵🔥”

“Cold front is back open! While possibly on the pricey side for just a cone this isn’t regular ice cream! This hand made gourmet gelato with lots of interesting and unique flavours - even for those who are vegan! Definitely worth a stop! You can even get pints or have them delivered! I’d highly recommend! Or have a sit down in the warm store. It’s never too cold for ice cream!”

“super cozy and amazing coffee- perfect place to warm up and reset after a day out!”
