7 Best Seafood Restaurants near Parksville

“We came to Aioli Seafood Restaurant after Googling the best fish and chips in Parksville, and it definitely lived up to its reputation! The food was fantastic, the restaurant was clean, and the service was excellent.
Our child was sleeping in the car, so we originally decided to get takeout. While our food was being prepared, she woke up and we asked if we could eat in instead. They immediately made room for us and were so welcoming and accommodating.

We ordered a couple of sodas once we sat down, and since we had already paid for our food as takeout, we went to pay for the drinks. They surprised us by giving them to us on the house, which was such a kind gesture.

Great food, great service, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. Aioli absolutely lives up to its name! We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in Parksville. Thank you!“

“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 ❤️“

“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.“

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