Restaurants near Shawnigan Lake

“The best ice cream in the Cowichan Valley - it's the spot we recommend all our friends try. Always new flavours, and always delicious; including some I've never had before like pumpkin pie, carrot cake, and apple pie. Caramel crunch is a family favourite. We usually buy a scoop and then walk down to the trail at government wharf.

The owner and staff are always very friendly.”

“We had an amazing treat at Ironworks Cafe & Creperie. So many tempting choices, both sweet and savoury. Three of us wanted to share two crepes, and asked if our choices could be cut into thirds. Renee plated the thirds individually with full garnishes. 🌟🌟🌟 We had the ‘Four Berries and Cream” (sweet) and the ‘Spinach, Artichoke & Brie” (savoury). Hmmmmm. Latte was excellent. 🌟 Locally owned, caringly staffed, local ingredients. So impressed. Thank you.”
