    Arrogant, unfriendly owner and staff with attitude to boot. And it's not as if their prices are competitive either. Avoid!

    We couldn't get enough of this place during our brief time on Saltspring Island. We stayed at the…read morehotel directly across from Thrifty Foods, and though most things were closed for the holidays- Thrifty was an open shining healthy beacon. I stocked up on organic trail mixes, kombucha, blueberries, stevia, matcha, and much more during my excited visits here. This place has everything that you could dream of - when it comes to health related goods and products. Their staff are laid back and they let you peruse everything without bothering you - so definitely feel free to take your time in here. I'm a firm believer that a quality grocery store can truly help shape the culture of a small town. Saltspring is blessed to have such a phenomenal resource like Thrifty Foods. Though there are plenty of lovely local farms on this magical island - it's nice to have a haven where you stock up on produce, essential oils, and other bulk items. Trust.

    When I imagine the lady or gentleman who dictates the prices of groceries at this SSI stop, I…read morepicture an evil genius in a dark and shadowed room cackling "THE POWER!". ... there are only a few spots to snag groceries on the island and mmmaaannn can you tell. If you're spending a few nights or over from the mainland - expect sticker shock to hit you like a freight train. And our American friends? Bring someone with you to speak soothingly while you shop... It's expensive. Ridiculously expensive. But beyond that, it's your pretty standard grocery store. The pros: 1. To balance the exorbitant grocery costs, they have some seriously stunning deals on produce. $1 for a quart of strawberries?! 0.98/lb for oranges?! Hot damn. The money you save will buy your $2.99 SINGLE AVOCADO. 2. They have really good, fresh baked gluten free bread. 3. They carry Krema Honeylicious. Bonus points every time. And goat's milk yogurt which can be tricky to track. 4. Everyone who works there is SUPER cheerful. Actually most people on SSI are super cheerful. Must be something in the air... It's one of two. So you're just going to have to deal with it. But hey, look at the positives and stuff your gullet with strawberries.

    [Note]: I wrote this review for The Feast located in Ganges and somehow the review landed here. The…read moreFeast is part of the Hen & Hound but it is a standalone restaurant located elsewhere on the island :) ------ The Feast is a farm to table experience on Salt Spring Island and the food was super delicious. After driving by many of the farms around the island and seeing all the animals and farm stands, it was truly a unique experience to enjoy food prepared locally. The Feast is a relatively small space and they are quite popular so make sure you make a reservation! We managed to get a reservation for 5PM on a Monday night because all the other times were booked already. Even though they're busy, the staff try very hard to move things around to accommodate walk-ins if possible. The service was really nice and a little bit hectic but definitely out of care and devotion to ensuring that everyone is having a good time. They have quite an extensive menu (despite claiming there's no menu) so there's something for everyone. I really like their shared menu items for 2-4 people. It's a really nice family style plate. We ordered the beef brisket and the portion was huge! Everything was seasoned so well and you can definitely taste the freshness in the ingredients. We really enjoyed our meal here! That said, I set my expectations a bit too high after reading all of their 5 star reviews. They are still just a small local shop that operates with love so they definitely do not match what a 5 star experience might be in a big city but I don't think they need to or should :) They seem perfect for the island lifestyle and I hope I get to visit again!

    Absolutely lovely farm-to-table spot right by the Fernwood Point Beach. If you sit at one of the…read morelive-edge bar tables outside, you get a fantastic ocean view. We came with high hopes for a Pacific Northwest lunch (the menu is highly enticing -- we took a photo of it anyway); unfortunately the kitchen is undergoing renovation so the place was open only for coffees & pastries. There was a decent selection of cakes, but we settled with a latte and a cacao. They came in custom-design mugs and were nice warm treats. The cacao (we got it unsweetened) has a twinge of spice. Overall just a 5-star ambiance. Would definitely come back next time for an actual meal.
