“Having traveled extensively across both Western and Eastern countries, and sampled a vast array of cuisines, I was not prepared for the culinary surprise awaiting me at Francis Bread on Salt Spring Island, Canada. In a region where one might expect more conventional fare, the breakfast sandwich here stands out remarkably. The fusion of flavors, with a subtle Asian influence, elevates the dish, making it uniquely suited to the island’s eclectic culinary landscape. The balance of tastes is both unexpected and delightful, leaving a lasting impression in this often-overlooked corner of Canadian gastronomy.”

“The best tacos and authentic Mexican food on Salt Spring island, created by 2 amazing women. Support this new business. ❤️”

“Unbelievable experience from top to bottom. Pacing of the courses was great. Service was exceptional, felt casual and light but we always had everything we needed and the evening flowed very well, as a former server I recognize how hard it is to make this look easy!

Food was amazing and I loved how the meal evolved, from the snack courses that used a lot of ferments to the richer savoury courses to the amazing deserts the highlight of which was a tart heaped with shaved hazelnut everything was excellent. Perfect amount of food, I appreciate the suggestion to pack up the pizza course as I think if we ate the whole thing that might have pushed it into too much food territory but with only having half it was a perfect amount.

Wine pairings were great although personally I am not a fan of some of the more funky natural wines that were on offer but still enjoyed what we drank quite a bit as there was enough variation between glasses to keep it interesting.

Overall probably the best dining experience I've had in Canada and one of the best I've had in the world.

Special experience!”

“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!”

“Found this by chance. Great environment, friendly staff, very welcoming! we'll be back!”
