Fresh and straight off the back of a truck is what I expect to find at a farmers market, and that's…read moreexactly what I found at the Comox Valley Farmers Market. Located in a field at the local exhibition grounds, the farmers market had a great selection of fresh produce, baked goods, fish, meat, jams, jellies, cheese, and all the other usual suspects you would expect to find. While not as large as the Ladner Village market on the mainland, the Comox Valley market still has plenty of goods to offer and makes for a great place to spend a Saturday morning.

Four star comfort food made with love by Dawn . . . …read more What a find! Just what cottages and campers at Saratoga Beach need: a variety of Home Made frozen entrees and soups, fresh and frozen Home Made breads, cookies and loaves, jams, pickles and other preserves. Plus a selection of fruits and vegetables Home Grown in the pretty garden at the back of the house. Phone ahead or drop by. Look for the large 'Produce' banner. We've enjoyed: Single serve tourtière ($6.50), a generous enough meat and onion pie. The pastry is light and flakey and browns nicely. Home Made mustard pickles made a great sweet and sour side complement. The pint of mixed pickles ($6.50) were so addictive, they only lasted a couple days, and I have since stocked up on three more pints. The take-and-bake cabbage rolls ($15.00) serves two very well. The meat and rice filling is savoury along with the tasty tomato sauce. Reminds me of how Mom used to make them. The scones were moist and chewy and generously dotted with blueberries. I wished we were around for when all the fruit pies are baked earlier this month. I bet they are the best. This is better value, better quality than going to a restaurant. You can add to the soups or entrees to make a great meal or lunch at the cottage, RV, home or eat it at the beach. Dawn does all the work for you and you can tell she does it with love (cabbage roll ingredients listing includes "love").

The Most Charming Breakfast Place in Courtenay…read more I believe whoever was in charge of this location's look and feel was at least partially inspired by Hobbit architecture. It was delightful dining here and the food was pretty good too! My wife ordered the Two Poached Eggs with Whole Wheat Toast & Jelly breakfast, while I created my own sandwich (Montreal Smoked Meat on an Onion Roll with lettuce, tomato, and avocado). I also got a cup of their soup of the day (Cream of Butternut Squash). Everything was delicious. Service was prompt and friendly. And we got to experience what eating breakfast for Frodo & Bilbo Baggins must've been like. Highly recommend if you're in Courtenay and want to get away from the typical run-of-the-mill diner or cafe experience for breakfast.

My sister had the veggie burger and my nephew some of the housemade (equally delicious) granola. The food is always yummy but I'm usually here for the exceptional customer service and interesting people i meet, they didn't disappoint. Chatted with Ben today, super friendly even had some chapstick made on the farm for me to try! It's super nice so make sure you grab one when you pay. Took a cinnamon bun for the road, you should too!!!

This is the only place I eat in Courtenay; it has spoiled me for anywhere else. It is obvious on…read morefirst bite that the fixed menu of 3 different sandwiches, soup, salads, and bakery goodies are prepared with love, devotion, and much talent from scratch on the premises, including delicious homemade focaccia for sandwiches. There is no skimping on fresh ingredients. Blueberry muffins are chock-full of juicy blueberries, the lemon tarts are so lemony and you could not imagine a better cinnamon bun. I'm addicted to their vegan sandwich which is bursting with flavourful yams, caramelized onions, sun-dried tomatoes, humus, lettuce, and cukes on homemade focaccia. I suggest you try it even if you are not vegan. The staff are lovely and the venu is casual, clean and uncluttered. It's a no muss, no fuss place with the focus on exceptional food prepared by someone who loves what they do and really cares about you.

I've had the enchiladas here many times and every time I wonder how those other places could be so bad compared with this! The morita sauce is my favourite and has a mild punch all on its own.
