Restaurants near Mayne Island

“We went for dinner as a group of five, and everyone was raving about their meal. My husband and I shared a platter, and all I can say is—it was absolutely delicious. The platter was beautifully presented with rice, julienned vegetables, pickled onions, and our three choices of protein: Laotian ribs, tofu, and chicken souvlaki. Every single item was fantastic, but the chicken really stood out—it was incredibly tender. The Caesar salad was included as part of the social platter, and we were asked if we wanted it served for sharing—which worked out perfectly, as there was more than enough for all five of us. I don’t usually order Caesar salad anymore since I make a pretty good one myself, but this one easily tops the list as the best I’ve had. Service, as always, was friendly and efficient.”

“A great place to hang out, listen to live music, meditate on Saturday mornings (9:30am), see beautiful artwork or just enjoy the gorgeous view of Miner's Bay and Active Pass with a refreshing beverage. I definitely recommend checking out this local treasure!”

“Their list of offerings are genuinely delicious and the seasonal tastes are remarkable. With genial hosts in this wonderful setting, it is not to be missed.”

“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!”

“Literally the kindest people who put so much care and attention into both their food and service. No matter how busy it is, I've never waited longer than 10 minutes! The fish is high quality and always fresh and the rice is perfectly seasoned. Salt spring is so lucky to have such good sushi 💞”

“Our recent weekend getaway to Pender Island was made absolutely perfect because of WOODS on Pender. We ended up coming here every single day of our trip because everything they do is just incredible. The entire environment is so calming and relaxing, truly was exactly the kind of intentional, serene atmosphere you want when you’re trying to escape the city and recharge!!!

The highlight for me was, without a doubt, the Beetroot Latte. Not only was the presentation stunning (literally topped with a fresh flower!), but it was easily the best I’ve ever had. I am still dreaming about that latte and the amazing greens salad I had. You can tell the ingredients are pulled straight from their greenhouse; everything tasted so vibrant and fresh. It’s the kind of quality you just don't find everywhere.

We also treated ourselves to their pastries, and the house made Cinnamon Bun and Apple Galette were both 10/10. Beyond the food and drink, the experience was elevated by the owners. They were so kind and genuinely welcoming, which just added to the perfect vacation vibe. The space itself is gorgeous with large seating areas and a beautiful outdoor deck, and it's clear they put so much heart into this business. I honestly can’t wait to go back!”

“I had spanakopita and cappuccino brownie, with a coffee. Both were excellent. I could happily have eaten EVERYTHING in the shop!”

“This is the best pizza I have ever eaten. The sourdough base is delicious and so are all the toppings Especially loved the Dad Heartbreak and the Regular Guy”

“Staff beyond friendly, so lovely and felt welcome. Muffins and bread (chicken, cheese on cranberry sourdough) were a bit dry and clearly not baked that morning. Mocha was delicious. Ate outside on solid gorgeous picnic table. Cinnamon bun with raisins was yum.”

“Only local ingredients used by an incredible chef and person, Josh. Everything is delicious, from the coffee and pastries, to breakfast sandwiches, salads, soups, and lunch sandwiches. You can’t go wrong.”

“Awesome food! Great views and service. The margaritas were fantastic.”

“This is my favourite spot to eat on Saltspring I always have a hectic day there towing and I come in famished and they seat me right away and feed me real good. I'm not even a local and they welcome me and are glad to see me. Lots of parking, food is excellent, prices are fair. Highly recommended.”
