Restaurants near Pender Island

“Highly recommend the chicken quesadilla, that was so good!”

“This is not a drill — the food is AMAZING. Eva is so kind. We went for dinner last night and went back today for breakfast. Salad, pizza, coffee, pastries - everything was better than the next. Cinnamon bun is not overhyped, best one I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to also stay at WOODS next time we’re on Pender :)”

“I had spanakopita and cappuccino brownie, with a coffee. Both were excellent. I could happily have eaten EVERYTHING in the shop!”

“omfg the breaky burger hasn't changed and it's fricken amazing dam! been craving it for a while live in abby so don't get anything like it out there! so when I come bak to pender this is a must for me! thanks Josh”

“Really enjoy the Hub. Amazing wine list, varied menu, lovely decor, great service. A little heavy on the mushrooms (would really appreciate a few more options without them!) but a lovely, classy adult space.”

“We came here in December to check the place out as we are getting married at Poet's Cove in July.

The food was fantastic. We ate here 3 nights and one breakfast and for tbe most part, everything was tasty and exactly what we wanted.

Some points to improve:

- The music sometimes stopped in the dining room and there was ads (probably using Spotify free version)

- It sometimes took more than normal times for staff to notice people waiting at the entrance to be seated.

All in all, food was great and the staff were all very friendly, would recommend.”

“I have two words for you… Poke Nachos! They are so good!

The rest of the food looks good but we always get the poke nachos so couldn’t really tell you.

Nice service, good wine list, great views of the marina and water. What’s not to like? Give them a try if on Pender Island.”

“The most amazing and flavourful food every time you go. Friendly service and a wonderful environment. The Laotian Ribs are a must try!!”

“Our dinner was perfect!
Highly recommend this gem for a fantastic dinner experience.
From the unique cocktails and wine, to the amazing presentation and taste of the food.
Staff are attentive and knowledgable of the menu.
We will be back!”

“Have had sandwiches and baking during the day before and all was wonderful. The porchetta sandwich was ahmazeballs. Finally got in for dinner tonight. Absolutely top shelf experience. The service was attentive, knowledgeable and subtle. I had the ling cod croquette appetizer: texture super smooth and the pickle sauce was perfect. For a main I had the rolled turkey with rhubarb, fiddle heads and turnip. Beautiful plating and the dish was delicious. The rhubarb was very subtle and tender and turkey was juicy and flavourful. Desert was the brûlée tart with rhubarb sorbet. Again delicious. If only we lived closer this would become a frequent special event restaurant. 100 percent, you should try it. If you are heading to the ferry, try and take the time to sample this hidden gem.”

“So glad I popped in here! I grabbed a paneer curry sandwich because I was intrigued by the sounds of it, and it did not disappoint. Such amazing flavor. As a vegetarian it’s nice to have an option that’s unique and tasty- I recommend!”

“They’re so nice in this place. I was having a rough day and the kindness both from customers and staff was uplifting. The food and coffee are both yummy as well.”

“Unbelievable experience from top to bottom. Pacing of the courses was great. Service was exceptional, felt casual and light but we always had everything we needed and the evening flowed very well, as a former server I recognize how hard it is to make this look easy!

Food was amazing and I loved how the meal evolved, from the snack courses that used a lot of ferments to the richer savoury courses to the amazing deserts the highlight of which was a tart heaped with shaved hazelnut everything was excellent. Perfect amount of food, I appreciate the suggestion to pack up the pizza course as I think if we ate the whole thing that might have pushed it into too much food territory but with only having half it was a perfect amount.

Wine pairings were great although personally I am not a fan of some of the more funky natural wines that were on offer but still enjoyed what we drank quite a bit as there was enough variation between glasses to keep it interesting.

Overall probably the best dining experience I've had in Canada and one of the best I've had in the world.

Special experience!”

“Staff, coffee and food. Great looking place to relax”

“Great pizza, just wish I could order extra sauce a little dry. Tried to find it on the web order site seems it doesn’t exist, too bad!”

“Awesome food! Great views and service. The margaritas were fantastic.”

“Very friendly staff and excellent food- flavourful and large servings, with a large variety of menu options.
Number one on my Sidney restaurant choices!”

“Great piping hot crispy coated halibut & chips. Super friendly server/waitress. March 12/2023”

“I just checked out this new little brewery in Sidney for the first time, and happened to try the freshly tapped Strawberry Shortcake Sour, which honestly had the best and strongest strawberry flavour I’ve ever tasted in a beer! It was so good I had to take home a Crowler. With plenty of beer and cider options on tap, a selection of local snacks, board games, events, and the option to bring in takeout from elsewhere, this place is definitely worth a visit. It’s clear that they value fostering relationships with other local businesses, and are already making a positive impact on the Sidney community.”

“Delicious pizza. Way better than panago”
