This is the second time we stopped here for breakfast on our way from Victoria Island to Vancouver…read more We ordered breakfast then picked up some bakery items for the ferry ride and trip to Vancouver. It's a cute little restaurant/bakery/store before catching the ferry to or from Vancouver. The smashed baked potatoes are crispy and nicely seasoned. They had gf bread to accompany my eggs and bacon. At the bakery we purchased a couple gf cookies and a couple of regular ones. The lemon gf cookie was delicious ~ soft and lemony.

At least you can pick which wines you want to try. Wine bottles are $16.00 to $30.00. - Tasting ($5.00) - big red rooster, petillant naturel, highland bramble and sweet ginger. Best of the four was the pet-nat. Ginger port was decent. Did not like the big red rooster or the highland bramble (unrefined, rough, needed to be airated). Seems the older folk come here for the bistro's sandwiches. Wouldn't go out of the way to visit.

A great community spot with lots of charm!

The wait for our food was much longer than expected, and…read morewhen we asked to share a plate, we were told we couldn't unless we purchased an extra side, which seemed like an odd policy--especially considering how large the portions already are. The seafood chowder was also disappointing two people in our group had it, It had a strange flavor and wasn't something we enjoyed. Unfortunately, the fish and chips didn't make up for it. The batter was very greasy, and one piece of fish on each of our plates was mushy instead of flaky and fresh. There were four of us that got it. The coleslaw had no flavor as well. The tarter sauce was really good. Overall, the long wait, the unusual plate-sharing policy, the odd-tasting chowder, and the poor quality of the fish made for an underwhelming experience. We were expecting much better.

Am wondering what kind of message that sends to visitors from out of town. The split fee charged unless you get a salad and the fee is waived?? The third issue is the different lunch menu for over 8 people where they've taken some of the grill options out. The rationale given to us was they didn't want us using all of the grills ?? We came early for lunch (1130) and the place was by no means full. We use to go weekly but have dropped to once a month ( maybe)

A hidden gem on the scenic road to Butchart Gardens and the city's observatory…read more Unique and delicious treats and drinks. I had a shredded chicken sandwich on focaccia bread and a hibiscus iced tea with cane sugar, which were both excellent. Got an Italian cinnamon roll for someone that I was told was also wonderful.- The staff were very kind and helpful, especially Taylor who made perfect recommendations on both the food and drinks. Highly recommend a visit!

There was no line up when we got in but I did notice a queue once we were inside. It's a cool spot! People rave about this place for the gelato and pastries and they're not wrong! It's tasty! Secured some of the goods, we got a croissant, lavender shortbread, cruffin, carrot cake and I also bought some coffee beans. The pistachio gelato was the highlight. They also have a fridge filled with some ravioli and soups etc! Good idea highly recommend this spot! Plus they have tons of parking spots

My friend & I…read morereally enjoyed the pizza from here (a first for both of us in 2025 during the Cowichan Valley Dine Out event meal features). I also ordered pick up for just myself another time. Lots of dessert & pre-made meal choices. Even if you're just stopping for something to drink, you'll enjoy browsing through the little shop. They're focused on Italian specialty items but have a mix of other goods there too. Staff are always friendly & are very patient with my packing logistics so I can carry everything myself while using my cane. There's seating inside & on the patio. I'm yet to go early enough in the day to enjoy the patio or on a nicer weather day but I do appreciate the very sturdy ramp up to the restaurant/shop doors & patio. Decent amount of parking too. Quick to drive to from Duncan & I first noticed this place when I took Lake Road for different views. Immediately off the main road but pay close attention to google maps (or whatever you use) when you're driving to the restaurant. As you see the sign & restaurant after you should be slowing down to turn into driveway. By my third visit, I knew what to look for & I didn't have to circle back. Looking forward to stopping here in 2026 & trying more items off the menu.

You walk up to order and then snag your food once they call your name. We ordered 2 harvest burgers, a Central Sandwich and a kids hot dog. The hamburgers and all the ingredients are very fresh, but not super flavorful. The sandwich though, is totally worth the trip. The double smoked ham is almost bacon like and the jam gives the right amount of sweetness. It was absolutely delicious. If we come back to the area I would totally come back to order another.

Truthfully, I go for their crepes, but my friends are always bey happy with their other menu choices too. The staff is friendly and we never feel rush to eat & leave. This isn't a place you need to really dress up to feel you fit in. However, you also could if the mood suits you & still not feel out of place. Truly, I am happy that they even have tables on the main level that accommodate those with mobility aids. However, that being said, I am struggling to recall if there would be a easy enough way for a wheelchair or even a walker to make it to the main door. I'll have to remember to focus on that long enough before my next crepe eating bliss hits. As Cowichan Bay is a popular area to stop for meals, do plan to go in advance for parking. As even if there are a few spots for the restaurant, there isn't enough space to accommodate the full restaurant. If you are able to find a spot at the restaurant or are double parking at the restaurant (which is apparently allowed), it is good to let the server know what vehicle is yours. Beyond more than mention "I've parked my vehicle here", so a server can notify you if people need to be let out of the space if they're leaving before you're done. If you don''re not lucky enough to grab a parking spot right at the restaurant, you might have to go far up the road (sometimes almost to the hotel) or down the road (towards the parking area by the pubic washrooms) to reach any parking options. Definitely try it out if you are looking fit an option in Cowichan Bay. I know I'm looking forward to many more future happy crepe eating moments here with friends.
