“Best coffee roaster on island! I have served their coffee at my bed and breakfast in tofino for 20 years and my guests love it! Give them a try and you won’t be disappointed.”
“Fantastic little nano brewery. Fun space if a bit cramped, absolutely amazing service and the beers are interesting and every one I tasted was solid to amazing in taste…. and I tasted a fair number… ?Well worth stopping in if you time it right and are in the area… and worth making a trip if you can.”
“Delicious food and I love that you can order for your food to go and then go watch the ocean. I also love how they sell paintings by Vancouver Island artists that you can purchase on the spot ?”
“It was Easter weekend and we had no idea what we were going to do. So we went for a drive and my Girl, aka copilot was searching her phone for a place to stop for a snack and a beer. She came across Fern and Cedar, I asked if we were heading in their direction and as luck would have it we were minutes away. For a busy day, we were seated immediately...awesome.The Waite staff were wonderful, the beers were very tasty and the cheese burger and cod and chips were stellar. We shall return in summer and sit outside.”
“What a gem of a place! We got 2 different burgers, rodeo fries, and onion rings. Everything was stellar. Huge, flavourful burgers and sides are on point. Highly recommend! Chefs kiss! ?”
“A friend and I had lunch there and enjoyed two wonderful and satisfying meals. My friend had the non vegetarian special (she chose butter chicken) and I had chicken tandoori. The latter was perfectly seasoned and cooked. My usual experience is that tandoori chicken can be a bit dry, but not here. It was fresh, tender and juicy! I had a taste of my friend’s butter chicken and found it delicious, though a tiny bit sweeter than I’m used to. Both portions were generous and the prices very reasonable.”
“We visited the island for the long weekend and stopped by Thai Smile for dinner on our first evening. Food and service were excellent. We’ll definitely be back if we are in the area again.”
“Sushi Hama is easily the best sushi I’ve had on the island. Since it has opened it has become a staple in the community and I can’t eat anywhere else. 10/10 recommend to anyone, wether you’re in town for a day or you’re local, it’ll become a favourite.”
“This little place has become our Sat ritual now to get donuts!! They are always excellent, fresh and so many to choose from! Absolutely BEST any where! Haven't tried pizza yet, but will be soon!”
“Ok, I got a kick out of the homey atmosphere. You may not agree. I felt like the place was cared for, maintained and menu organized by, and food prepared by, a couple or family who really loved the place.It was a busy night, but we were promptly seated and served, nice beer, and great food (schnitzel and desert). We are only visiting the area, but would love to come back.”
“Their house blend drip with hibiscus notes..it was so gooood!The food presentation and the taste of everything we ordered — freakin deliciousssssMust try their tomato soup with grilled cheese or chicken brie sandwich ?”
“Lefty's Parksville located in a busy strip mall next to a thrifty supermarket. This restaurant is quite busy. The decor is industrial style. The choices are one step over sport bar type of place. The staff is somewhat friendly and the service is quick. The host was great but the server was a bit rude. I guess they were hoping we were ordering lots to drink as they were disappointed when we ordered just water. The food, portions are pretty good. I ordered the Hipster sandwich which was pretty good. The fries also pretty good. Overall decent place”
“How could you ever have a better combination? Airplanes, friendly service and great food all in one place. Our go to place when we are in the area. I’m sure this will soon be #1 in Qualicum. The only hitch is that if you go, you may not get a table during peak hours. This place is busy because it’s good.”
“Stopped in after years of not going. Same old Gary's, pretty much a staple in qualicum. Friendly service, had the eggs Benny, was great w hashbrowns although 1 egg was over done but was promptly replaced to my satisfaction. Overall great hometown experience. Yes times are tough with inflation and staff issues but we all need to have a little more patience.”
“This place was recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint! Food was unbelievable, service was great and the atmosphere was so stunning! ❤️. Highly recommend Bistro 694!! Very impressive”
