I came at 11 on a weekday and it was quiet, but I saw them get very busy at other times. Lise's benny was delicious! It wasn't a totally conventional combination of ingredients but it all worked together so well. I thought the hollandaise sauce was so good - it was the perfect consistency, no oiliness. The "tofu egg" was silken tofu with an agedashi-style breading. The breading made it not seem very egg-like to me, but it was good. I loved the spicy chicken nuggets too! I got a side house salad instead of the hashbrowns. The house salad was actually very good and substantial, not just some greens thrown on the plate. I got a golden chai latte to drink. It was made with a golden (turmeric) chai teabag which gave it a more complex flavour than turmeric lattes made with just turmeric. The benny was $20 and the latte was $6.5 (obviously with no alt milk charge). These were some of the most reasonable prices I experienced in Tofino, especially for a full service restaurant and considering the complexity of the dish. My waitress always came by at the right time and was very friendly. I came back later to just buy a sticker (saw they had stickers and meant to get one when I was there for brunch but just forgot), and the person who helped me then was also pleasant.

The mushroom calamari was so delicious, I wanted to eat it all! & the buffalo wrap was 10/10 & quite filling with the side of fries it came with. This matcha latte was the earthiest I have ever had. It was cold so it hit the spot & the presentation alone was pretty. It's a simple & clean place, the parking situation might be a bit overwhelming in the busier months but loved this place for sure.

The entire place felt elevated but cozy - our table was upstairs under beautiful wooden beams and big windows overlooking the town. The vibe was lively but not too loud on a Tuesday evening. Service started out wonderfully and we regularly received fresh table settings between courses, however we had a switch in waitstaff later in the meal and it was incredibly slow at the end. No big deal since we weren't in a rush but something to note that it could be hit or miss. The food, on the other hand, was 100% on point. We ordered the potato crusted oyster appetizer and I was blown away - innovative and delicious. For my main, I got the halibut in a curry sauce that was just perfection. My friends tried the sea board, seaweed salad, and scallop gratin, and loved all of it. This meal was a highlight of our vacation.

We waited about 45 minutes altogether (line-up to order and for our food) Pros: - huge burrito for $15. The yam is a nice touch - tots ($7) came out nice and hot with the option for more toppings (cheese, guac, etc.) for $3 more - plenty of seating while you wait, but not much shade (for those sensitive to heat) or on rainy days - food was very solid in terms of taste and very filling Notes: - parked by the surf shop and walked over. Lots of parking in that plaza area - if you want to add any side orders, you can at the pick-up counter and not have to wait in line again to go up to the ordering window

The food was good, okay - but nothing incredible. my wife's scallops tartar were tasty; my beet salad was tiny, four little beet quarters, in a garlic sauce. Her entree of halibut with juniper curry sauce was nice. My bison strip loin was overcooked , came well done and a little tough, rather than the medium rare I ordered. Mushrooms and black peppercorn sauce were nicely done. We both had the dark chocolate with raspberry sorbet, and that was the best of the three courses. But for $280 I would have expected way more wow factor, nd at least have the steak cooked correctly. We would not return. Beautiful setting and sea views from the restaurant , but they seem to be operating more on reputation than meal excellence to justify the high prices.

They have the "Please wait to be seated" sign, but they let me choose where I wanted to sit, and when I realized that the table I chose outside was putting me right in the hot sun, they were cool with me moving inside. I had "Lyndsay's plant pizza" (the cheeseless vegan pizza) and a tiramisu. The veggie pizza was loaded with toppings and the vegetables they chose worked harmoniously together, except the kale tasted a little raw. I didn't miss the cheese. I cannot overstate how good the crust was! There were a few spots with a bit too much char, but even with that, the texture of this crust was heavenly. The tiramisu was also fantastic. It was served as two jumbo ladyfingers doused in cream. Again, textures here were great - the ladyfingers were soft but not soggy, and the cream was velvety smooth. The bitter coffee in the ladyfingers perfectly complemented and balanced out the sweet cream topping. I was a little surprised by the high prices. I ended up spending about $50 for a meal for one after tip! Kind of a small place, but the laid back atmosphere felt homely. It would be nice if they had real glasses for water and a plate for the tiramisu instead of paper. Not quite a 5 star, but a very enthusiastic 4 stars from me. I could rave about that pizza crust.

Pros: - cute decor with huge windows to take in the ocean-mountain view - friendly staff - parking lot right next to the restaurant with a couple spots for patrons with 2hr max - super thin crust and pie came out piping hot - pizza toppings are very fresh with plenty of it Notes: - We were there for approx. an hour (approx. wait for the pizza was about 20-25 minutes) and the server came over with the bill. We still had half a beer to enjoy. The server was chatty and friendly, but I really would have rather not received the bill unprompted. Mind you, there were a few tables opens directly next to us. - The garlic dipping sauce was $4/unit and it was slightly congealed on the top. It comes in really small takeaway container. For the cost, it doesn't feel like the best quality and portion size, especially for a dine-in experience. - The Romano came with plenty of capers and olives, which made it on the saltier side and not as balanced with the flavor profile - the cost for the pizzas was also pretty expensive compared to what we were used to in Vancouver, about 30% more

My Matcha was very good, and tasted almost identical to a Starbucks Matcha Latte. The Boston Cream Donut was tasty, but the dough was very thick. It comes down to preference, but I love a lighter/fluffier donut. My boyfriend loved the Maple Bacon Donut though! Overall, a nice place to visit while exploring Tofino.

Ordering a couple of local Pilsners from the Hoyne Brewing company, we started with a great fresh Shelter salad and half dozen pristine oysters; so fresh and creamy!

I tried a sugar-free raspberry peach muffin and a chai latte. I really liked the muffin - it was dense but soft and very moist. Lots of juicy fruit. I will say that if "sugar-free muffin" is something that sounds appealing to you, you will probably like this, but if not, it's probably not for you because the texture was quite different from a regular muffin. But I liked the wholesome flavour. The chai latte was just the standard, but made well, with a very generous dusting of cinnamon. I got there shortly after they opened and just had to wait in a short line with my drink ready fairly quickly, but they were much busier by the time I was leaving. I think they take card payments now. I paid with cash, but I didn't see any cash only signs and I saw what I think was a card machine at the register.

We dropped in on a Thursday afternoon (around 1:15pm) and were greeted to a line out the door. Be prepared to wait; service is incredibly slow and inefficient. We were in line for half an hour and waited another 10 minutes for them to make our order. The menu is split into breakfast (only available to 1:00pm), grilled sandwiches (only available to 3:00pm) and hot drinks. They also have a small selection of pastries (bread, muffins, baklava (randomly) and tarts/cakes/bars). - Ham sandwich ($7.95) - at least the bread was toasted and the cheese melted. Other than that, decent but you could easily make something similar at home. I was still hungry afterwards. - Vegan hummus sandwich ($8.25) - the hummus was light and caramelized onions subtle. Same bread used in all their sandwiches. Not sure why the vegetarian option is pricier than the meat one. Cash only. Don't bother with CL.
