“**Restaurant Review: Full Moon Rising** Full Moon Rising in Pacific Shores is an absolute gem that my husband and I frequent often, and it never disappoints. Owned by the lovely Louise, the restaurant is renowned for its incredible consistency in food quality. The beef dip stands out with its flavorful, rich jus that's full-bodied and delicious. My husband raves about the calamari, claiming it's the best he's ever had—crispy and melt-in-your-mouth, perfectly complemented by fabulous pico de gallo. The portions are generous, and the atmosphere is enhanced by spectacular views and live music on weekends, making it perfect for date nights. The service is fantastic, with knowledgeable staff and Louise always present, ensuring everything runs smoothly while radiating her warm energy. Her son, an amazing Red Seal chef who helped design the menu, adds to the culinary excellence. For reliable, satisfying dining with consistently outstanding food, drinks, and service, Full Moon Rising is my top recommendation. Don't miss out—visit before the summer rush! Enjoy!”

I'll be visiting my sister who lives in Nanoose Bay next month, June 15-26. I'll be stopping in for my beans to return home, Cornwall Ontario, with. Read up on new roasts before my visit to buy along with many of my favorites. See You Soon :)

Jan 2021. Had new coffee sent to me prior to Christmas by my sister. One of the pkgs was the new Ethiopian Tomme. This new blend was so good yesterday I ordered 3 more pkgs. Maui Dark Roast is another excellent blend. When pandemic is over I am sure to be flying out to Nanoose Bay to visit my sister and stock up on more coffee. Thank goodness I can order online.

Every time I am on Vancouver Island visiting with my sister (I live in Ontario) I stop and load up on Coyote Coffee beans. Recently picked up; Mexican Red Honey Fair Trade Organic Coffee. WOW WOW WOW and excellent full bodied coffee. No bitter after taste. Chocolate notes. Will it become part of your product line? Do you still have some for sale? It made my day :)”

“Excellent food, service and ambiance! We loved it and will be back!”

“Delicious pizza. Prices are what you would expect, no complaints. Dough was incredible. Pleasantly surprised at the amount of vegeterian options! Helpful staff but atmosphere could be improved.”

“Amazing products and service! Bought 2 pieces of cheesecake here - the lemon curd (recommended) and plain - and both are decadent!! Best cheesecake I have ever purchased from a store. And, the oatmeal raisin cookies taste like the ones one makes at home - and they were not overly sweet . Perfect. The service was friendly, helpful and kind. Will go back - when in the area - and look forward to the cinnamon buns next - they were already sold out for the day and we were there before noon!”

“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.”

“Wow - finally a great coffee/lunch place in Parksville! Awesome baked goods (double baked almond croissant), fabulous coffee (made exactly as requested: extra hot, non fat cappuccino), nice comfortable decor, not too loud, and absolutely wonderful service!”

“I've been a customer here for my whole adult life. This place feels like coming home to me. The staff is always warm and welcoming, they always remember my order and what I like to drink. Yes the place has gone through its changes, and we all adjust. Still a great place! (honestly I'm happy about no more karaoke, Just trying to enjoy my drink while my eardrums getting busted out by people who think they can sing...go to the Legion guys)The bartenders are always watchful, and swiftly and quietly usher out the riff raff. The waitresses are pleasant every time, always a welcoming smile, and are quick to come with food and drinks. They are very attentive to their tables, I never have a complaint. The food is always amazing, kudos to those cooks in that hot kitchen. While it used to be quite the bumping place on the weekends, covid has really quieted it down. I recommend the Rod & Gun. It's a pub, and if you prefer pubs over taphouses like I do, you'll really enjoy this place. See you guys soon!”

“Recently celebrated my birthday here with my close friends. we sat outside on the patio. it was great atmosphere, super friendly service. the beer was great and the food tasted amazing. very happy! definitely will be coming back!”

“Honestly the healthiest, best fast meals you’ll get. Perfect for summers while on the road. We’ve been there quite a few times and the flavours are there, it’s colourful and fresh and so nutritious. You get an insane amount of food for a little over 20$, which is a very rare find nowadays. Definitely recommend!”

“First time there tonight July 1-2023to celebrate birthdays. Alley the owner was so gracious and had the best personality!! The food was absolutely delicious! We started with crab cakes they were so good! Then I had the seafood pasta the amount of scallops prawns was awesome they definitely weren't skimpy on the seafood and the presentation was great! Then the dessert we had a free birthday dessert which was the sticky date pudding with vanilla ice cream! The service was good, friendly, fast and the establishment was clean! Highly recommend this place ❤️”

“everything we have tried on the menu has been amazing, we do not pass through parksville without stopping”

“Keep an eye on your food as it's being prepped. We agree with the tasty reviews, but have questions about food safety. We witnessed one of the staff dropping a tartar sauce on the floor and another staff told her, "Don't worry; no one saw it."”

“Stopped in today for the first time, great food and great service we will definitely be back”

“We have been living in Campbell River for over a year now and have not found a good pizza. Poppa's was recommended by a friend in Parksville. We were here for a week and tried it. OMG!!! It is the best pizza we have ever had anywhere! The flavors, amounts of toppings and the tons of cheese. One slice is a meal but we had 2 each. Yes it was that great! We purchased one to take back home to freeze. Every trip to Parksville will be a Poppa's Pizza!🥰”

“Our favorite Indian food restaurant. Their curry is delicious! Friendly staff and quick service. Thank you!”

“Hidden gem! Absolutely excellent food, this place has been one of my favourites spots for take out since I came to live in Parksville. There isn’t a bad thing on the menu and it’s all such a great value. My usual go to are the Salad Rolls with the incredible peanut sauce and their trusty House Special Rare Beef Noodle Pho. Can’t wait to go back as a treat again soon. Excellent work Saigon Garden!”

“This place is amazing the drinks are so good and refreshing. They they even have low-calorie dairy free gluten-free options. I wish I had known about this place sooner. 😁”

“We always get good food and friendly service at the Lantzville Pub. the seafood chowder is amazing! Great location with beautiful views of the ocean. Great village atmosphere.”

“Great People and Friendly price to feed Canadians 🇨🇦 Love to see Canadian Food chain understand what Canadians likes ❤️❤️❤️”

“I love this place. After all the years I’ve lived in Parksville, they have consistently made amazing food at a great price. Definitely worth grabbing as a take out to enjoy at Parksville beach which is just a minuscule walk away. My personal favourite has always been the “3 piece Island Fish and Chips”, possibly the best value in town IMHO. Well done Aioli, I’ll keep coming back to you as long as I can.”
