“Melinda’s Bistro is literally a hidden gem in beautiful Sidney, BC. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the staff are incredibly friendly, and the food is amazing…especially their breakfast sandwiches and soups!!! They have a lot of great items on their menu to choose from, and their prices are on par…if not cheaper…than similar cafes in the Sidney/North Saanich area. If you’re travelling to or from the ferry or the airport, you should definitely check this place out!! :)“
“I've been there a few times, heck I even have played music there and always found the place to be super special. Good food, good people and good times! If things go right, I may be back there June 15, 2024 to play again....fingers crossed.“
“We recently ordered pizzas (2 vegan and 1 vegetarian) from Panago in Sidney. We were all so pleasantly surprised at the speed and accuracy in which our order was filled and thoroughly appreciated a phone call to double check an ingredient selection (regular cheese via non dairy cheese) that we had made in error. The pizzas arrived quickly, very hot - obviously fresh from the oven and delicious. We all agreed it was by far the best Panago experience we've ever had! Thanks so much!“
“I really can't fault them for anything. The Brussels sprouts were excellent, already eaten in the photo. I was concerned the coleslaw with the fish and chips would be too sweet but it was really fresh tasting and savoury. View is gorgeous and staff were nice and friendly.“
“VANILLA LEAF BAKERY CAFE4605 Bedwell harbour road, #17, Driftwood Centre Mall, Pender island, BC…. This quaint, cozy little bakery is easily found in the mall right across from the most central access entrance to the parking lot right before one gets to the Copper Otter restaurant… Two of the front staff employees here, Yoko and Jensen, with their warm, charming and effervescent demeanors, do a wonderful job of assisting one in wading through the myriad of choices of so many deliciously yummy items to eat here… Be that one of the generously sized, freshly made sandwiches or wraps, hearty soups, healthy breads, or any of the colourful and varied flavours of sweet treats available here. The staff making everything back in the kitchen do an amazing job…There are also a whole host of hot or cold drinks available made with care by the front staff as well…cakes and pies are available for special occasions….Not a day goes by that I do not partake in spending some of my time here at the bakery near the central grassy courtyard in the mall… see you tomorrow!John K Welsh, Coquitlam, BC“
