Restaurants in Parksville

“Despite living in Nanaimo Salt is a go to spot for us to get a great pizza! love the dough used for the crust and the fine quality ingredients.”

“We had Craig Street Pizza tonight for first time—we live out of town—& it was the best pizza I’ve ever had. I’m still drooling over it & highly 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 ❤️”

“Exceptional service, pleasant, fast service, very clean restaurant.”

“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."”

“Amazingly delicious & fresh ramen! Highly recommend! The service was quick and friendly. The restaurant is very bright & clean.”

“Food took me back to Hai phong. Spring rolls from Heaven. Delicious”

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

“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!”

“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!🥰”

“Consistently very good and I feel good after eating here. Love to build my own bowl. Its great when everyone has different dietary requirements and everyone can get what makes them happy”

“Best sushi in Parksville, owners are so nice I would definitely recommend to try them.”

“I got the almond crusted ling cod. Big portions and good price. Pumpkin mashed potato was good. The ling cod lacks seasoning. Sauce on the plate but not on the fish.”

“Absolutely fantastic service . The owner is wonderful. The food is excellent.”

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

“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!”

“what an amazing place 10/10 will be going there again. the food the atmosphere the service you name it. all around amazing place.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great coffee, local , organic, friendly service”

“We had lunch at the Parksville location for the first time today but it definitely won't be our last. The food was delicious and the staff were wonderful!”

“Love this place! Friendly, fast, fresh food served piping hot. Prices are right and portions generous. Don't let the old school dining experience fool you. A must stop everytime we're in Parksville.”

“We stayed at Oceanside Resort so decided, at the recommendation of a friend who lives close by, to try Taste Taco Bistro, just across the parking lot from our cottage. What a wonderful surprise! From the burrito bowl, to the tacos, to the enchiladas - all were delicious and got two thumbs up from the adults as well as from the 7 and almost 4 year old grandkids. It was so good that after trying 3 other restaurants in our one week stay, we went back to the bistro again. Thank you Kirsten who was so helpful and friendly as she served us, and to your chef (I'm sorry I didn't get his name!). We will come back again when we visit Parksville.”

“This was our first time at Kalvas and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We met friends for dinner and although one person said their chicken dish was a bit dry and seemed small, the seafood sampler and the prawn/scallop dishes were excellent and the cheesecake was delicious. Our server Gavin was very attentive and had a great sense of humour. The log restaurant structure was lovely with an impressive roofline. We will be back sometime.”

“My second time staying here and can’t wait to be back again! Nancy at front desk is just a gem, got early check in both times as requested, rooms are clean and spacious and nothing beats the balcony and restaurant views! Coffee shop makes amazing drinks and treats and if your lucky in the morning the sweetest dog Casey is in there with his awesome older couple owners and they are so kind to chat with, pool was a great temp but wow it’s cold when your heading back to the dressing rooms in the open air, short safe walkway down to the beach and just a 2 minute drive to almost anything else you might want or need outside of the hotel, my fav hotel on Vancouver island hands down”

“I love Trees but yesterday, I decided that I was going to treat my friend and myself to a Beesting dessert lunch. Unfortunately, they were stale. So disappointed.”

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

“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!”

“Really good experience at BarBurrito in Parksville. The food is always fresh, portions are generous, and there are lots of options to choose from. The staff are friendly and everything is made quickly. A great spot for an easy, tasty meal!”

“If you get a chance to have the high tea, you won’t be disappointed!”

“Great food and great service!”

“I heard about this restaurant during my travels and made it, “my must eat at restaurant”. The food was so amazing, I took the menu for ideas. Thank you for offering an outstanding healthy and delicious venue for us humans that have dietary restrictions and a healthy lifestyle. Everything on the menu is delicious. Must try their version of gluten free Apple fritters, we both had a food orgasm, then ordered more. Thank you for the flavour explosion!”

“We went to Ricky's after being evacuated from the Wesley ridge fire. We asked if they have discount to evacuees. We showed the server and manager a screenshot of the evacuation notice as well as our ID with our address and they still would not give a discount as we did not have a physical paper.”

“Very friendly out standing service and food authentic and delicious, 5 stars *****”

“good”

“Always have a amazing experience!!! Staff are amazing! My go to place! Nothing but good feedback! ❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“great food,generous portions,fresh ingredients,friendly atmosphere,good people.”

“Excellent food at a great price.”

“Unfortunately one short rib entre was perfect and the other two required sharp knives and sharp teeth.”

“How this place gets any less than a 5 star review is beyond me. Quite literally THE BEST FOOD I HAVE EVER TASTED IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. The dishes were wildly creative, utilizing exotic local ingredients in exciting and provocative ways; even though you know what's coming next, you are surprised by each dish. The wine pairings mesh seamlessly with the perfection of each dish so its hard to tell where the food ends and wine begins.

The atmosphere is flawlessly serene and comforting, wrapped warm and tight in a comfy bathrobe and slippers while soft ambient music plays in the background.

The staff truly seem excited and overjoyed to present each dish, and the timing between dishes was seamless. Our server, Heather (we love you Heather!) felt like family by the time we left.

DEFINITELY recommend, worth every penny and then some.”

“So good. It’s always fresh and fast. Massive vegetarian menu also.”

“Best pizza I have had in this area! Delicious 😋”

“Cedars Restaurant is by far our favourite place to dine in Parksville! The food is amazing and staff is always fantastic!!”

“Server was very pleasant, food was delicious.”

“Warm, friendly, inviting.”

“the best place in town with the best service. always grateful to spend my time at BP.”

“Solid local breakfast place. Nice staff and good service. Good food, nothing spectacular, but reasonably priced. They were very accommodating when I substituted fruit for the hash browns. Like all similar places (IHOP, etc) if you have a scramble, a skillet or an omelet they will default to powdered eggs so be sure to ask for freshly cracked eggs. Overall a great place for a family breakfast or lunch.”
