Canadian Restaurants in Nanaimo, BC

“Tania's always serves up an excellent breakfast for us with phenomenal service too. We love this place and always stop by when we need brunch!“

“The Cactus is always our go to on the way up island as it’s consistently amazing for food, drinks and service but this time was exceptional for two reasons. The first being our server Shane, he was the best server we’ve EVER had. It was our anniversary and he made it an even more spectacular day than it already was. His service was perfect in every way, friendly, fun, engaging, and knowledgeable. The second being your new menu! We had the scallop ceviche which was to die for (forgot to take a pic) prawn crunch roll and salmon aburi roll, which were equally as delicious! Beautiful presentation and taste!“

“Stopped in for an early dinner today and had excellent service as always. We are not from town but stop here every time we come as we always have such a great experience. We wanted to specifically shout out our host Renny who recommended us the Cubano sandwich, he was so polite and very helpful with the suggestion. Our server Jay who we have had several times was wonderful, and as well Lexi has served us in the past and was awesome. A really great team working at this browns!“

“Best breakfast sandwich ever ( anywhere)“

“Comfort food at reasonable prices. Great service and best view in town !“

“A great little get away from the hustle. A short ferry ride from Nanimo. It has a great cafe with delicious food. Beautiful hiking trails, tons of space to picnic and play and miles of quiet Beaches!“

“I have now been to the Milton Street Pub twice in the past 1.5 weeks. On both occasions I had some of my best ever food experiences. I had 2 different kinds of wings…Monster portions and quality ingredients. I also had the tomato soup ( homemade marvellous) and polenta fries. My partner had the burger which I tasted and fries which are absolutely the best. My Mother in law had the flatbread pizza…Yummy and my nephew had the Mushroom pasta…HOMEmade!!! We had the cheesecake ….WOW. The service on both occasions was amazing. Even gave me a Tylenol when I was in pain. Melanie was our first server…but everyone including the kitchen staff is determined to provide the best cuisine experience. The only issue was the first time atmosphere was a bit noisy and I have chronic pain issues so the chairs are a bit short for my long legs… Otherwise Perfection!!!“

“Great service. Amazing food. Would recommend the beetroot hummus appy.“

“Another fantastic steak and shrimp skewer combo! Our waitress, Danae, was wonderfully cheerful and quick with everything. My family and I appreciate a good attitude from people who take pride in their work. Thanks, Danae, for setting a great example for my kids and serving us well!“

“Before we arrived I was saying I'd love to get a Nanaimo Bar Gelato, hoping they had one along the waterfront and this place did! Very excited, but also lived up to exactly what I hoped it would be. My mouth is watering just thinking about it“
