My friend had the Spring rolls and Wonton soup, all made in house and was amazing! My other friend had the Eggs Benedict with hand cubed hash browns, or you can have shredded. I had the 6oz housemade hamburger with onion rings. The relish on it was very good. The menu has lots to choose from and the have daily menu specials. One thing I noticed is they do half orders which is great especially considering the size of the meals a half order would be a big meal from some people. Highly recommend Julie's. You won't be disappointed and you definitely won't leave hungry!

We had breakfast here about 11:30 on a Monday and were surprised when asked if we had reservations as it's a very casual diner style restaurant. It did get busy so keep that in mind and maybe call ahead. Great atmosphere with model planes hanging from the ceiling, and delicious coffee. My breakfast was decent but not spectacular (bacon, eggs, hash and French Toast). They do shredded hash browns here which is nice but they were a little undercooked and a little on the small size portion wise. My sister's omelette was bland and overcooked. That being said I'd go back for the cool decor and maybe try lunch next time. I called a couple of days before to enquire about their hours and that person was super friendly but the staff weren't the friendliest when we actually ate there. Not rude, just not very warm or welcoming (maybe because we didn't have reservations!).

For Appy's we got the Poutine and BBQ Chicken bites that had a bit of a Korean Gojijan flavour which we enjoyed.

We also got a Smash burger which was excellent and the Cod burger was fantastic, nice size piece of fish! Also tried the root beer in a bottle that was sooooo good. Our server was fantastic and so nice.

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.

Took a cinnamon bun for the road, you should too!!!

Their Smoked Brisket Has No Smoked Flavor…read more Went to the Tidal Cafe for lunch, and sat outside with a beautiful view of the waterfront. My wife ordered the Tidal Bowl with smoked brisket, while I got the Beef Brisket Sandwich, which also had smoked brisket. It's not often you see smoked brisket on a menu for a non-BBQ place, so I was kind of excited for our orders. When our plates arrived, the brisket looked great and the pieces were generously thick. I couldn't wait to dig in. Then disappointment hit. The smoked brisket had zero smoke flavor, and the fat wasn't fully rendered. In fact, it was kind of chewy, which together with a lack of flavor was a sure sign it wasn't smoked long enough. To add insult to injury, my sandwich had a strong mustard smeared on the bread which overwhelmed what little flavor the brisket had. When I mentioned all this to our waitress (who was quite nice, btw), she sheepishly responded "Yeah, I'm a mustard kind of girl, so I like it like that." My wife liked her meal, but overall, I don't think Tidal Cafe understands how smoked meats should be done. Also, why is there a bar & a bar stool in their one-toilet bathroom??
