Restaurants near Pender Island

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

“Curtis and Eva were the heart of our stay at WOODS on Pender. The enthusiasm Curtis shows for each site’s design is surpassed only by the care and skill he puts into the pastries he prepares at Coffee + Kitchen each morning. I would eat the vegetarian mini quiche every day if I could and the cinnamon bun and pear tarts were some of the best pastries we have ever had. Dinner was also excellent, highly recommend the pad thai!”

“I don't know why this place has any negative reviews, because our experience was amazing. Like a lot of the reviews, the highlight was the poke nachos, but the mussels and fries was incredible, and the salmon burger was fantastic too. The service was great (I will say we are here in the off season, so maybe that makes a difference). We were trepidatious about coming here because of the low rating but we were so pleasantly surprised. Give this place a chance! We are so happy we did. Also lots of gluten free options!”

“Always amazing! Every time!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Such a gem! Five and Dime Diner in Sidney is an absolute must. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the friendliest hostess (I sadly didn’t catch her name, but she was so welcoming), and the atmosphere instantly felt warm, nostalgic, and just happy. Our server Chelsea was the cutest vibe ever! She fit the place perfectly. Super friendly, personable, and made the whole experience feel really personal and relaxed. You can tell when someone genuinely enjoys what they do, and it shows. The food? Banging. Great prices and seriously delicious. I had a roasted chicken wrap with tzatziki and a bunch of fresh veggies, plus a side salad, and it was SO good. Fresh, flavourful, and filling without being heavy. And the little details?? Instead of the usual mint at the end, they give you a piece of retro bubble gum. Such a fun, nostalgic touch that totally fits the diner’s vibe. Overall, the food, the service, the atmosphere....everything was amazing. I can’t wait to come back. Five and Dime Diner is one of those places that just makes you feel good. 💕 Thanks everyone!”

“Their list of offerings are genuinely delicious and the seasonal tastes are remarkable. With genial hosts in this wonderful setting, it is not to be missed.”

“Wonderful flavour, piping hot , and excellent service. Highly recommended!!!”

“We recently celebrated a birthday here and had a memorable dining experience. Our waiter was friendly and attentive, making us feel at home. The room itself is well decorated and the ambient Bossa Nova sound track provided a romantic backdrop to an excellent meal. We had the scallops as an appetizer and the chicken and lamb as mains finishing off with the creme brûlée and the chocolate mousse. Delicious! Each course was a well presented combination of flavours to savour. We enjoyed each one to the last bite. We would certainly recommend Atelier for a superior dining experience.”

“Daniel Cook & The Radiators love this great place!”

“We went there the first time we visited Sidney a few years back. We returned to Sidney after we decided to move to the Island and revisited while we were in town. Friendly staff, good coffee, and convenient location for folks who just want to walk around and it will make for a nice regular spot for after we relocate!”
