“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.”

247 Milton Street, Nanaimo

“I had a wonderful birthday lunch with my cousins here and for me it was the first time, but they go often. The staff was super friendly and the Jalapeno Burger was scrumptious. I was hesitant at first because I don't like hot spicy food, but this was a mild jalapeno jam rather than actual jalapenos and it was very tasty.”

“Better than Tojo's in Vancouver. If your body is a temple than you need to go here to bless it with this food. It is that good. There are more fancy places on the Island to eat sushi, but this is the best flavoured! Great staff, never makes a mistake on my order. The owner has really gone above and beyond to make this space special. Hand made decorations, a bright colour scheme, clean floors and spacious clean bathroom's make this restaurant a breath of fresh air to visit. I have had sushi all over BC and this is THE BEST SUSHI in Nanaimo. The space is clean and welcoming. The staff are awesome! A wonderful atmosphere if you just want to sit and relax while eating. Seating is limited but the food is worth it. You will not find better Sushi on the Island. Even Victoria fails to meet the standards this restaurant sets. This is it. Better than Tojo's in Vancouver. Every roll is made with care. I am not surprised they survived the COVID pandemic intact. If I eat sushi, I want it from here.”

16 Browns Socialhouse Nanaimo North

• Take-Out

“Brown Socialhouse in Nanaimo has been one of my go-to spots for the last 3 years, and it’s one of those places I always end up coming back to. We pretty much order the same thing every time—the Loaded Chicken Nachos, the Southwest Blackened Chicken Bowl, and the #28 Dragon Bowl—and they’ve never let us down. The portions are great, everything comes out fresh, and the nachos are honestly hard to beat. We usually grab a couple of drinks too, which always go well with the food. What stands out the most, though, is the staff. Everyone is always friendly and welcoming, and the service has been consistently great every time we’ve visited. The atmosphere is lively but still relaxed, which makes it an easy place to spend a couple of hours with friends. Definitely one of my favourite spots in town.”

17 White Sails Brewing

125 Comox Road, Nanaimo

“Out of the pub/lounge venues in Nanaimo, they were the quickest to respond to our request to reserve a table of 20. Our group had a great time socializing and enjoying good brews. My personal favourites were the Radler (mango, pineapple, lime) and Ciders (Rum based and cranberry based). Great atmosphere, easy to socialize, staff were great. Thanks for helping me make the after work social a success! I only wished we could have stayed longer into the night. Thank you White Sails for a good night.”

“There are businesses that simply serve food, and then there are businesses that truly invest in their community. On behalf of everyone at Nanaimo Young Legends, thank you so much to Sam and the entire BarBurrito team. Sam generously sponsored free burritos for all of our campers, and it meant so much to every one of us. The kids absolutely loved them! The mission of Nanaimo Young Legends is to ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and create lasting memories. Support like this helps make that mission possible. It allowed our campers to enjoy a delicious meal together while simply getting to be kids, and moments like that are what this camp is all about. Sam was incredibly kind, welcoming, and generous from the very beginning. His willingness to give back to local children speaks volumes about the kind of person he is and the values BarBurrito represents. Thank you, Sam, for believing in our community and for helping make this summer even more special for our campers. Your generosity made a real difference, and we are so grateful. I can’t recommend BarBurrito enough, not only is the food amazing, but the people behind it have hearts just as incredible!”

“This OJ's is always great, the staff are calm even when it is super busy, they always have a smile and the restaurant is never loud with music or sports blaring in the background. We had dietary restrictions and those were met with a smile. My only complaint on this particular day was the server forgot a few things, and I don't like to be 'that person' to remind them and make them feel bad.”

Beansprouts were crispy but there was no chives. :( The cashier was friendly and the service was quick. Next time I'd like to try their Cambodian jungle curry. Sounds interesting.”
