Canadian Restaurants near Shawnigan Lake, BC

“We finally (!!) made it to the Lakehouse and we will definitely be back.
The atmosphere is so comfortable and welcoming. The table was next to the window and a lovely view.
I missed getting our servers name but she was so sweet and efficient!
I had the seafood pasta, my husband had the steak sandwich with dirty fries (think Cajun) and our friend has the breakfast bowl.
Everything was delicious!!
Sorry I missed you Jill - we’ll be back and hopefully we can catch up!

“I love stopping by when ever I get an opportunity. Definitely one of my favourite places.“

“We had dinner at Alpina Restaurant at Villa Eyrie Resort and were completely captivated by the breathtaking panoramic views of Saanich Inlet, framed by rolling mountains, lush greenery, and endless blue skies. Between the spectacular scenery and the outstanding cuisine, it was hard to decide which was more memorable!

We began with the rye sourdough bread, served with whipped butter and an apricot-cardamom butter. It was a simple yet elegant combination that we had never experienced before and absolutely loved.

For our mains, we enjoyed a roasted rainbow carrot salad with greens, feta, grains, and other flavorful toppings that made every bite delicious. The pesto pasta, finished with candied pistachios and a generous burrata, was an incredible combination of creamy, nutty, and herbaceous flavors. The seared tuna was perfectly cooked and served with fresh greens, while the grilled lingcod was flaky, moist, and delicately flavored, accompanied by tender beans cooked with tomatoes and other delicious ingredients.

Dessert was equally memorable. The **Les Rochers** was a rich, decadent chocolate pastry, while the **Tarte aux Myrtilles** featured a crisp tart shell filled with berry compote, topped with fresh blueberries and dollops of berry cream. The highlight, however, was the pistachio tiramisu. Our server assembled it tableside using ladyfingers, coffee, whipped cream, pistachios, chocolate, and other ingredients, turning dessert into a fun experience. The portion was enormous and easily enough for our family of four to share.

Outstanding food, impeccable service, and one of the most spectacular dining views on Vancouver Island made this a truly unforgettable experience. Highly recommended.“

“We ordered dinner from Just Jakes/Craig Street Brewpub tonight. Service was phenomenal. The food was amazing, staff were so friendly and the whole process was so organized during this difficult COVID restriction. Highly recommend ordering your next lunch and/or dinner from this business. You won’t be disappointed.“

“My wife and I love the Cow Bay view from booths, and overall restaurant ambiance, but it is the food that brings us back. Seafood Linguini, and the Katsu Bowl are favourites. In fact, we’ve just done take out orders of 2 Katsu Bowls, 2nd time in a week. This is a most excellent taste sensation, a combination of Thai (peanut & coconut) Japanese (Katsu crispy chicken) and creamy chow mein noodles with veggies. Try It! Yummy!“

“We went with our family of seventeen for a birthday celebration. The service , food atmosphere, and beautiful location all superb. Highly recommend. Thankyou ! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Jacs on Queens is my go-to spot for karaoke on Wednesdays. The vibe is always fun, welcoming, and exactly what you want from a neighborhood bar.

One of the main reasons I keep coming back is the bartender, Mark. He is an excellent bartender, fast, attentive, and always on top of things even when the bar is busy. keeps the energy up, and makes the whole night better. You can tell he actually cares about the customers, and that goes a long way.

If you’re looking for a laid-back place with great karaoke, good drinks, and genuinely good people, this is it.“
