    Got the Pad Thai here and it was phenomenal! Love this little spot. My partner got the glow juice which was yummy but we wished it was a little bigger.

    Very nice place with a decent selection of small plates and drinks. A bit pricy, but really nice. Vegetarian/Vegan only.

    Pad Thai
    Marie-Pierre K.

    Lovely place with delicious Pad Thai (no peanuts!). Tucked away but deserving of plenty of love. The place feels low key and kind and the food was amazing and filling. Prices might be high but feel completely fair and even cheap compared to the nearby places.

    The Mystic Smoothie Bowl
    A F.

    This cute little spot is AMAZING!! It's 100% plant based and the staff are so kind. They have take out or you can eat outside. We went here twice on our two day stay and had their Mystic Smoothie Bowl. Their granola is so good - I wish they had it in a giant bag for me to take back to the mainland with me! Thank you Yayu! We'll be back

    This is the only vegan restaurant in Tofino. They mostly serve brunch food, but they're currently…read moreopen later (until 8 pm) Friday and Saturday and serve the same menu all day. 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.

    We went for brunch & I got the Matcha Latte, mushroom calamari, & the buffalo wrap. The customer…read moreservice was great, the girl was super sweet & had great recommendations. 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.

My carnivorous bf gave it two thumbs up! The sandwiches are amazing, the salads have a ton of flavor from the different greens and flowers. The winning soup was definitely the special of the day: curry lentil soup with coconut milk. My father-in-law had the vegetarian chili in a real bowl, not a chintzy 1 cup serving. Personally, I like soup bowls big enough to drown myself in. The owner's dog, Pete, freely frolicked, charming everybody in sight. He may or may not let you have his ball to play fetch lol If you sit outside, you can see the rooster running around, keeping an eye on his many hens. (They are so fearless, it's like somebody TOLD them that it was a vegetarian restaurant.) I watched him do an equivalent of a back-hand (back-wing?) on one of the hens; I felt bad for her, poor thing. The service was great. Just pay the cafe server $10 if you want to tour the gardens, which I highly recommend doing. We will come back here for sure! If that rooster doesn't learn how to treat his ladies, I may have to come back with a fork and knife with his name on it ;)

We were…read morethere for about 5 minutes before anyone came out to serve us, we were confused if anyone was even there. The girl working didn't know what was in the cake and strangely there was a dog tied up in the middle of the room with the tables. He was cute, but super dirty and smelly, he was the owners dog. It wasn't hot or cold outside so I'm not sure why he wasn't on the covered porch in the shade. It's connected to a small garden with some sculptures. Could be so cool, but was just okay.

    Wow! We had a reservation for Wolf in the Fog our last night in Tofino and it couldn't have been…read morebetter! 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 got the Seared Humboldt Squid, Fried Oysters, Albacore Tuna, and Mushroom Gnocchi. The squid was very tender and the XO sauce that accompanied was very complimentary to the dish. The oysters were good and not overcooked. I enjoyed the wrap that they used to batter it. The tuna was really disappointing. Although the tuna was fresh, it lacked flavor. The mushroom gnocchi was my favorite part of our meal. It was so delicious and flavorful. 3.5 stars
