11 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Shawnigan Lake

“Only been a member of the community here since beginning of summer, but absolutely love coming here for fresh coffee, bake sweets and their phenomenal jalapeno cheese rolls and bread. The staff are very kind and generous too and I have had nothing but pleasant engagements whenever I visit!“

“After reading your book Katy, “ Katy’s Farmhouse Kitchen”, I can understand your love for the LAND & COOKING! You’re the REAL THING! You & Farmer John care about the LAND, the FOOD you grow & serve. Thank-you for letting us rent your GOLDEN VALLEY house. We are so grateful Joyce Wurtele found you on the AIRBNB site! What a RESTFUL NEST for 3 days & 2 nights. The valley views were stunning. We loved interacting with the cows, chickens & of course MONTY. After our cycling days the 5 of us thoroughly enjoyed the dinners you served. What a FEAST to the EYES! Everything was DELICIOUS! The CHOCOLATE CAKE …..DECADENT! MANY, MANY Thank You’s Katy & John PS…. Joyce has already booked for next year!“

“The Fort is great!! It's a fun place to gather with friends and play some games. Keely especially, really makes the place inviting and enjoyable 😊 I love her customer service, and love going when she's there 💜“

“Fantastic people, fantastic wines. Everything about Emandare is about letting the land and the grapes do their thing. The Pinot Noir is positively dynamic (but sells out every year). Visit the tasting room and you’ll immediately understand why wines from this valley are making waves… they are so good!“

“Karan made a really great sandwich for me and was very professional, very nice, very great service! This store is very clean and the workers are very attentive, some shops you go to they don’t really care but I am very happy with my service!“

“I’ll drive to get my beans!! Def my fav roaster on the island!! They also rock a mean raspberry scone. Yum!“

“Wonderful host, amazing and unique wines. 5+ ⭐️“

“We had a reservation for 6 adults at 4PM but we were running late as we were coming from Victoria, the staff did not rush us and were very accommodating! We also asked if we could swap one of the tasting wines and they let us. The cheese board was delicious and we enjoyed the sparkling and red wine. Views were epic, such a beautiful spot!“

“If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Green curry was exceptional, probably top 3 meals I have ever had in my life. THAT GOOD!
Then we had Austin as our server, he was 10/10. Very friendly, didn’t overstep and provided excellent service. I hope this establishment appreciates how good of an employee this gent is. Very impressed.
Then finally the value for money. Very fair, and couldn’t complain at all. We will definitely be back. Fantastic experience.“

“I loved everything about my stay, the view, the comfy beds, the tub, nice and clean. We both want to stay again🥰“

“Exceptional stay last week in Duncan! Bed and room was clean, shower worked great, sufficient breakfast, only complaint was the longish walk to town. Perfect for a quick trip to Duncan for hiking and shopping, excellent price and exterior upgrades coming soon!“
