    Farm to table restaurant that highlights unique ingredients with vegetables being standout. Restaurant is set in a converted house with a nice ambience. We most enjoyed the cowichan beef tartare, housemade wild nettle pappardelle, rye berry and oat risotto, the duck breast, and wood fired wild mushroom pizza. I think we were most disappointed by the wild mountain sourdough bread, as we found it to be a bit dry, tough and served cold as well. Overall, we really enjoyed how these ingredients were highlighted in creative ways and would recommend checking out this restaurant!

    Wow! My friends recommended this place, and it did not disappoint! Everything we tried was fantastic, but the wood-fired pizza was truly outstanding. Can't wait to come back!

    This is a fantastic restaurant with brilliant chefs working with seasonal foods. We have spent several evenings in their dining room enjoying their menu items. The service is quick to help you design a culinary experience, including the right wine pairing. The view of the Sooke harbour entrance and out onto the Straits of Juan de Fuca and the Olympics beyond sets an excellent tone for the meal. It is a small restaurant, so reservations are recommended. There is also an outdoor patio. In addition to the culinary experience that awaits you, they have a wood-fired pizza oven; their gourmet pizzas can be eaten in or taken out. Our last time there, we arrived at seven and were lucky to get a table without a reservation. The Cowichan Beef Tartare with pickled carrots, walnuts, curried egg yolk, aged cheddar, and their crostini was terrific. We also ordered smoked wild sablefish from their small plate. We then shared the homemade Pappardelle. We left room for dessert, which did not disappoint. We ordered the Pavolova and the single-origin Peruvian chocolate pudding. I would not hesitate to recommend this dining experience.

    Tucked away on a side street is a modern and fresh cottage style house that has this lovely restaurant. They have two dining room areas, a bar section and large patio. I'd say there were only about 10-12 tables in the whole place plus a few chairs at the bar and patio seating for warmer months. Out the front as you enter, you'll pass the rather large outdoor pizza oven with delicious aromas wafting out. It's a lovely location with views of the harbour from most tables. The menu is seasonal, relatively small, and perfectly executed with sophisticated techniques and flavours. The bar menu is also well curated with local offerings and tasty sounding cocktails. I had a local lavender and rose cider which was really nice. Cheese pizza was perfect for the kids palette, and the honey mustard on the ham pizza was a nice addition. As for our mains, both dishes were delicious with wonderful flavours and had a level of attention and sophistication that the plentiful mainstream and pub style dining don't have. It was the perfect place for a celebration dinner. Service was friendly and attentive. Definitely book ahead of time. They're popular and busy and a smaller location so no doubt during weekends or holidays they're booked solid days in advance.

    This is a must if you're in Sooke. This is our second time here and yet it exceeded all expectations again. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff making our dining experience truly memorable. As pescatarians, we were again excited with the diverse seafood options as well as delicious plant-based options available, from the crispy polenta fries to the housemade squid ink paprafelle pasta with smoked fish - each dish was amazing. The ambiance was delightful, airy overlooking the ocean and a charming patio outside that offered stunning views. Inside, the quaint atmosphere added to the overall charm. And let's not forget the cocktails - perfectly crafted and refreshing. But the highlight was definitely the dessert - the crème puff with lemon curd and blackberry mousse was simply divine, a true chef's masterpiece. Highly recommend making a stop at Wild Mountain - undoubtedly the best restaurant in Sooke!

    We made reservations (highly recommend this!) for a busy long weekend evening and were seated immediately when we arrived. We had a lovely seat inside the quiet room with 3 tables and were seated right by the window with a beautiful ocean view. We ordered the beef tartare, fire roasted pork loin, and prosciutto mushroom pappardelle. Everything was flavourful and delicious with interesting pairings. We were slightly disappointed with the portion of the beef tartare, especially since a friend of ours recently visited and she posted a photo of a larger portion for that dish! We wish the portions could have been more consistent. Service was a bit slow (they were having some issues with their card machine) but incredibly warm and friendly.

    Sunchoke celery-root soup topped with crab
    Tom E.

    This place really surprised me. At this small outpost of civilization on Vancouver island, I did not expect sunchoke celeriac soup with crab. Nor was I expecting year-round locally sourced ingredients. The ling cod was perfectly cooked and remarkably fresh, in an intriguing kimchi sauce with etiolate rudabagas and delightful potato balls. Then there's the fact that your wait staff are the manager and the chef's wife, which adds so much to the service. Because they truly care if you liked that first bite, and know the farmer who grew those rutabagas. They're really invested in ensuring your satisfaction. It's no wonder this place was fully booked on a cold January night in a rainstorm.

    Rhubarb & local berry sorbet

    A really charming 'slow food' place, probably our favorite restaurant in Sooke. Lovely outdoor seating area overlooking the water and the garden where the chefs grow their own herbs, veggies, and edible flowers. The menu changes daily as new seasonal ingredients become available. Incredible desserts, cocktails, and fantastic nonalcoholic options. The main dishes are a little bit on the spendy side, but there are great small dish options if you don't want to spend a ton. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Reservations are accepted for indoor dining, and outdoor seating is first-come-first-served. Although the food is very upscale, the ambiance is casual - you don't have to worry about dressing up.
