Restaurants near Royston

“Delicious coffee. The owners are knowledgeable and friendly. Got some good advice on making a french press coffee at home. The surroundings are cosy and the place is immaculate. On the days i schlep into Courtenay, the veggie breakfast wrap is such a treat. I am really glad they decided to move to the Valley.”

“What a friendly place and what good food! We were greeted with a smile and served with friendly attention. The seafood pasta was huge and brimming with shrimp, salmon and mussels. The souvlaki dinner also was delicious and having roasted squash as one of the side veggies was a brilliant idea. No problem seeing why “The Roy” is a local favourite.”

“5⭐️+ This restaurant is a hidden gem all around. The chef is big city talent, creative and exceptional food plated as art. The server was very attentive, warm and friendly.”

“Loved the custom vegan soft serve. So delicious! So fast despite being so busy… So cute, AND the best part was how they were not excessively sweet. Just right!!! A little relieved we’re just visiting and I won’t have to fight urges to visit every day!!”

“My sister and I drove from Nanaimo to try Javier's for the first time and we weren't disappointed! We shared the Peruvian Potatoes, Tortilla Soup, Tacos Dorados, Araminta's Chicken, and the Deep Fried Ice Cream. All of the food was so tasty and I loved the mix of Latin foods! We were also treated to delicious rice pudding during their anniversary week. We will be back very soon, it was well worth the drive!”

“I have had apple fritters from almost every province. I only had to move to Courtenay and find a job a few doors over to find the best one in Canada. The staff is super friendly and I love the cappuccino’s. ?”

“I was so excited to hear about this place opening and finally went tonight. Im happy to say that my high expectations were exceeded. The vibe, service and food were all 10/10. I have tried the odd oyster before and never really enjoyed them like I did here. It was delightful to sit at the bar and have one of the owners shucking the oysters and prepping our dinner right in front of us, with lots of fun info and banter along the way. The way the bar’s setup made makes for a social dinner experience easy to chat with people next to you. So refreshing to see a hip place like this in the comox valley. Would reccomend for a fun dinner with friends or a great date night. We had the crude and shrimp roll along with the oysters and everything was so fresh and delicious. House made hot sauces were delicious too”

“Craving pizza after skiing and found our fave "local pizza"near our hotel,half/half med plus 6pcs wings for under $20..service is good and fast depends on the busy hours and clean.ask them the best ”

“My friends and I were nearby and one of them stopped to see if he could afford anything, and after a bit he comes back with fries but tells us he actually didnt have enough change on him to pay for it, but they said dont worry about it and made it anyways! The fries so fresh and delicious, perfectly crispy, and the portion was big too :)”

“Recently had the joy of trying the (best I've ever had) breakfast sandwich and a perfectly crafted latte. The owner's have poured their heart and soul into this establishment, which is well shown by not only the expertly brewed coffee/espresso beverages and delicious menu offerings, but the beautifully decorated and bright space. Boasting a cozy atmosphere, amazing drinks and food that absolutely slaps, Laneway Cafe and Kitchen completes Cumberland's downtown core.”

“I tried the feature which was a curried squash bowl and it was so delicious! Paired with chocolate peanut butter bar for dessert and a fantastic Mexican coffee! I will definitely return as this is my new fave restaurant!”

“Staff are friendly and welcoming. There is a bar in the washroom. The egg yolks are vibrant orange, cocktails are great, maple syrup is real and excellent.Nuff said?”

“Delicious croissants! They are definitely worth a visit. We had their smoked meat and mustard croissants, as well as their pain au chocolat. Very buttery and flavorful.”

“Visiting the island and we discovered this gem! I'm a former Montrealer who has had many, many Greek style pizza....meaning lots of cheese, thick crust and loaded down with toppings. These thin crust, light on sauce pizzas may be the best I ever tasted. It's huge, although eight slices, airy and light....I had the Grow a Pear....omg, it may be the best I ever had! You need to eat here!”

“The best reasonably priced resto in Courtenay, I think. Many thanks to our server on Tuesday night for her sense of humour and kindness to my Dad and me. (I could eat one of the pulled pork tacos every day for a year and still want more!)”

“The restaurant looks unassuming and on a side street, but once we ordered food and a nice pilsner beer, it turns out this is a place you don't want to miss. Simply put , it was one of the best hamburgers we've ever had and reasonably priced as well. When we're in Cumberland next time, this will be our goto for burgers and beer.”

“I typically like to stop in for an early afternoon cookie and their selection consists of some very good cookies. My favourites include a malted chocolate chip cookie and a gluten free chocolate cookie. There are an other choices available and all are good. Their bread pudding is quite decadent and is also a good dessert item. The staff are friendly and there are tables available to those that wish to stay and relax while they enjoy their coffee and snack.”

“I come here all the time because it is simply better than anywhere else in the valley? The staff are unbelievably kind, attentive and speedy, the service is phenomenal and food comes out before you can believe and it always tastes exceptional. Incredibly quick service, good prices that put every other restaurant in the area to shame and food that never ceases to amaze, Sushi Wara is not just the #1 sushi restaurant, they are the #1 restaurant in town!!!!!!!Vegetarian options: Tofu and Vegetable alternatives for most seafood/meat dishes are lovely, I recommend the spicy agedashi tofu or my personal favourite; the asparagus roll which has delicious deep fried asparagus!”

“Roots Rising makes the yummiest guilt free treats ever!!!Vegetarian options: Lots of vegan treats!Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free, keto, and no refined sugar treats!Parking: This place is always busy but the parking lot always has room!”

“I always enjoy going to Sushi Jo. Great food, nice staff. Great portion size (I came home with food tonight) My new favorite is the Harmony Roll (WOW). The Veggie Sunomono is always pleasing, and loaded.”

“Fantastic iced coffee and this sandwich is AMAZING! Locally made art everywhere you look. I’ll be coming back for sure… there are several desserts that I might just need to try because they look so yummy.”

“Fresh food, exceptional customer service..they offered to give me extra lettuce,veggies or sauce when building my bowl! Most places don't do that. Super great.”

“What a cool and welcoming place. We just happened upon this great cafe on a daytrip to Courtenay. The owner Crystal was so fun and friendly. We had the espresso milkshake and Donkey Punch coffee - both fabulous! What a delightful surprise to stumble across Coffee Luv Bug ?”

“If I could give 4 Quarters more than 5 stars, I would! Everything is divine - the breakfasts, the curries, the cocktails, the tapas. I'm especially loving the tapas. Such a great place to go on a Summer evening for some light bites and refreshing bevvies ❤”

“This is one of my favourite pizzerias in Western Canada, and I like how they don't skimp on the cheese. I'm from Saskatchewan and look forward to Islander pizza whenever I visit BC. Staff are polite, too.”

“By far THE BEST Mulligatawny Soup I’ve ever had, best in the Comox Valley for sure. This place is amazing. So friendly and fast. All of their soups are delicious and made with love.”

“Good place to go for food as much as beer, beer is consistent but food is just great and changes for specials. Beware parking lot is tiny and sometimes hard to access. One of best brew pubs in the area.”

“Everything is always delicious, home made bread for the sandwiches with fresh ingredients and you can taste the love in the soup and baked goods. Staff are super friendly and it has a nice local atmosphere.”

“My wife and I were visiting our friends on the island and they recommended we stop at Boba Island for some bubble tea. The owners were so friendly, the bubble tea was great and I'm looking forward to going back the next time we visit.”
