“Was given THE yummiest golden mylk turmeric tea. She asked how spicy I wanted it. Which I've never been asked before. I felt like I entered another world in this magical little space. I spoke to the owner for a bit. She was lovely and knowledgeable. Felt like I received a mini well-being consult! It has been added to my "must go to" list when I'm on Salt Spring. I've told so many of my friends about it. Morningside is more than a shop or cafe- it's an experience. Much love to you, Manon.“

“We had the most wonderful evening at this restaurant — everything from the food to the service to the setting was exceptional. Reservations recommended!! Our servers, Jana and Elliotte, were incredible — so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. They made us feel completely welcome and taken care of throughout the night. We started with a few shared dishes — the Beef Carpaccio, Saganaki Cheese, Foie Gras and Pickled Beets — each one perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. The Seared Scallop Entrée was a standout as well: fresh, beautifully cooked, and elegantly plated. We paired everything with a crisp glass of Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc, which complemented the dishes perfectly. We sat outside on the lovely deck overlooking the marina and the ocean — such a peaceful and beautiful setting. Great food, and amazing service made for a truly memorable night. Life is good—100% recommend — can’t wait to come back.“
