Canadian Restaurants near Parksville, BC

“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 ❤️“

“Always excellent food & service. I remember when there used to be a tree inside growing through the roof.“

“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!“

“Don't let the industrial neighbourhood fool you! This is a great little coffee shop off the highway! And perfect for me, because it's just off the highway and easy to stop at if you're on your way up island. I'm a bit of a coffee snob and had yet to find a coffee place I loved in Parksville. Now, I've saved this to my Google maps, and will make a point to stop here on my road trips to Strathcona. Delicious coffee, friendly staff, and lots of parking :)“

“We visited the most well-known bar in town during Día de los Muertos. ?

Although my mood was beaten up, some friendly locals helped guide me through the emotional landscape of the evening. Attracting good spirits isn't just about laughter; it's also about openly expressing that you miss someone who has passed away—whether they left recently or long ago. In a bittersweet moment, you can pour a shot of their favourite liquor into the soil as you share a drink with a comforting stranger.

I was grateful we stopped by. My initial thought of my sailor and I singing karaoke ? that night didn't happen. I'm sure it was for the best sake of all the present souls. It was just not the right time for that. However, the friendly staff played songs that helped me overcome my sadness and shake it off ?.

Thank you for hosting all the spirits around in such a grand fashion ?️☔?“

“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“

“My family had lunch here today. Greeter at the door was very friendly and helped us right away. We chose to sit outside and watch the airplanes. Waitress was very friendly and professional. The food was fast and hot. The three of us agreed one of the best meals out in a long time. We will be back for sure.“

“We haven’t been here since COVID restrictions lifted and are thrilled to report the Mushroom Burger is still the best ever!“
