    Looks to be a small family run Cafe. Well worth the stop. Hubby had the beef dip with more beef in the toasted bun than we'd ever seen anywhere else. Apparently it was tasty. I had the shrimp, crab, avocado croissant with sliced cucumber. It was delicious and a nice portion of seafood. With one server, she did a great job as the patio was popular. She was polite and prompt with out order.

    What a nice place for lunch. Stopped in and was very pleased with my clubhouse and fries. The spouse had crab, shrimp & avocado croissant and both were fresh and well presented by a very friendly waitress. Exactly what you hope for when coming in the door.

    Great little spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner. There's a small deck out back if it's nice out.

    Great find! Kid friendly, free wifi, lots of vegetarian options, and decent food.

    On a Thursday afternoon, with lots of Pacific Coast Trail hikers waiting for the bus, the only game…read morein town was the Bamfield Market Café. The nearby Bamfield Pub was either closed or out of business. The outdoor deck with tables is a nice shaded place to eat, so we decided to give it a go. Turns out both the menu and the ordering of food items happens not at your table, but at the cashier of the Market which is at the same store-front but a different and seemingly unassociated entrance - confusing at first, but manageable. We ordered a BLTC (what's that? a Bacon Lettuce & Tomato sandwich with a slice of American cheese) and a grilled ham & cheese. Both sandwiches were prepared promptly and served with fries - the sandwiches were edible but nothing special - I removed the slice of American cheese from mine - while common in these parts, it's not a plus. The fries were pretty standard, and offered with gravy or ketchup -- we took the ketchup packets and had to squeeze a lot of them out to get that working. So, do I recommend this restaurant? If you're hungry, they serve food, and they are your only restaurant option at lunchtime (at least when we were in town). So yes, I'd go again. Would I recommend the food? Not really -- nothing wrong with it, but C$ 35.70 for two sandwiches and fries was a bit pricey for such marginal quality. On the other hand, they are remote, so one can be glad that they offer anything at all. The other half of the operation (the Market part) is tiny with very limited selection, but they do offer many of the things Pacific Coast Trail hikers need. So while your options are limited, what they have should get you through (including some good ice-cream bars).

    AKA: The Market Cafe…read more Upon entering Bamfield you quickly realize that your food options have become pretty limited. However, this little cafe, located right beside The Market, Bamfield's general store, is the perfect little reprieve for those that hunger for a good meal before an epic adventure or just returning from one. You won't be blown away by mind altering flourishes of culinary wizardry, but you will be presented with wonderfully large portions and deliciously prepared meals. Seating is plentiful and the serving staff (consisting of just one waitress) is very friendly and welcoming. You may need to flag her down if the place gets a little hectic, but she is quick to come over and help you with what you need. We came here for both breakfast and lunch and in both instances the food here left me satisfied and well fed. For lunch, their seafood chowder was quiet good, with good portions of fish and shrimp. My favourite though was their Bammer-time breakfast: hash browns, choice of sausage/bacon/ham, eggs any way you want them, avocados, and hollandaise sauce - all in one bowl. Whoa. It was definitely Bammer-time. And yes, the bowl was totally bigger than my head. Bonus: The cafe and the general store share the same wifi, which is free!
