First time ever as a Canadian in Qualicum and I am ashamed I've never been. We coasted down Island…read moreHighway and passed by this, I made my partner turn the car around. Shore is exactly where it says... on the shore of stunning Qualicum beach. It reminded me of being in Hawaii. We walked into a very short line during lunch and placed an order for a burger, shrimp tacos, fries and two root beer milkshakes. We were given a buzzer and waited. All tables were full but they clear out fast. The ladies who took our orders were super sweet and even asked how we enjoyed our meal. Prices were normal for being on the island. The spicy shrimp tacos were fire . Nice and clean washroom there. Side table with all condiments and water. Really family friendly and lots of parking. Cant wait to come back!

During the summer months, we eat at Shore at least 3 to 4 times a month. It is our go to place for…read morethe best codburger, fish tacos, fish and chips. You name it in the seafood line they are number one. Lindy and Steve are absolutely amazing and Lindy is an absolute sweetheart , with her amazing smile and Steves nice too lol Sometimes we drop a table and eat in other times we just bring a blanket or sit on a park bench and do the takeout method . Either way I've never had a meal there that does not rank a 10 out of 10 then if you still got room, you grab an ice cream and then you go home and sit on the couch rubbing your full belly lol well that's what I do anyways. I love everything about Shore Restaurant so does Leeanne we never think twice about where we should go eat we just go "let's go to Shore.! "

Not what I thought it would be…read more It definitely exceeded my preconceptions. It's right along the Island Highway and hard to miss. Wanting a bite, so in we came. Just simply looking at the exterior, the place appeared to be a pub. The signage says the same thing! I later find out that it's split into two. A pub side and a restaurant side, separated from each other. You wouldn't have guessed that at all. The restaurant side is a bit more upscale and has nicer decor for a sit down meal. Great view of the beach is a bonus! Friendly service and decent food.

After hearing there were new owners, decided to give this place another try. Unfortunately the…read moreexperience was less than good. The food was mediocre and service not good. It seemed like the server was doing us a favour by taking orders. It is unfortunate they keep getting it wrong because the location is a gold mine.

Waitress walked off and never came back with my water. Had to track her down twice to request water before I finally got water. Ordered basted eggs with English muffin, got eggs over medium with whole grain toast. Politely said, I actually ordered English muffin, (did not mention that I didn't order fried eggs) she said "are you sure you don't want the toast? I said, no, I would like the English muffin. She walked off and served several other tables and started filling their drink orders. My husband tracked down a different person to get my English muffin, by then my not basted eggs were cold. I get it, mistakes happen to the best of us. A simple acknowledgment or apology would have been welcome, but not a word. It made me feel like I was the one being difficult and I hate being that person. It isn't cheap eats, so I simply wanted what I paid for. The fried potato hash towns were tasty and well seasoned, the eggs (however they were cooked) were good enough. Overall the food is what you expect for a traditional breakfast. If you don't expect amazing service you will enjoy the meal well enough.

We had the 7 of the 10 dishes of the Ala carte menu ! and given what we had - very good value ! Each dish was unique, creative and delicious and Perfectly cooked fish ! Hard to choose but Our favourite was the beautiful snap pea dish with the amazing sauce. Only one wish - if there had been a side basket of a crusty baguette slices to mop up all the fantastic sauces ! Wonderful and timely service too - from accommodating our reservation time to offering an extra dish that was some result of an order error. All the servers were delightful and Chloe did a lovely job on her first day. Thank you for a wonderful meal!

But watch out for the self important, stern and nasty employee at Lilette who acts like she owns the place. She will dress you down for "staying too long" although a time limit is not stated. We were there two hours. Even though we spent considerable money on pastry, bread, coffee, tea and full lunches she went on and on furiously repeating her tyrad. This is the second time she has done this to us. We are mature, respectful, regular patrons of Lilette who live in Qualicum. She is a casting a dark cloud in a beautiful space.

We've had lunch at Cuckoo's once before so we knew pretty much what we were getting ourselves into…read more It's decorated in quite a traditional manner, and currently set up for Christmas. The floors look to be original hardwood, and there are lots of beams and logs to see. I personally love the old style look, but it might not be to everyone taste. The service is quite good, our server especially, although it did seem like one individual was more interested in polishing glasses and not running food or bussing tables. He was a little passive aggressive with another staff member when he did run a couple of plates, came back and said "see that wasn't that hard." Not a good look. The food was quite good, although we felt, this time like the last, it was a little on the expensive side. It is quite a tourist mecca just outside of Parksville so that's likely part of the reason. It's also quite busy so clearly people are willing to pony up. We had the soup of the days Chantrelle mushroom soup. Evidently those mushroom are very plentiful in the area this time of year. It was quite good, creamy for sure, but we would have liked some more noticeable bits of mushroom. We also shared a Caprese salad which needed more balsamic and a little salt. The capers were a nice add. We finished with Margherita pizza which was nicely cooked and finished with fresh basil. Can't believe I am saying this, but there was too much cheese on it and maybe a little shy on the tomato sauce. Peroni beer on tap is a total winner for me. Have been twice, might go again, but likely not.

There are over 20 varieties of schnitzel to try here, plus other entrees so theres probably something that will satisfy everyone. The outside of the schnitzel was so crisp, and the spaetzel was the perfect compliment. We got the Reuben and the Jaeger Art and both were delicious. The portions are big too so I had breakfast the next morning. HIGHLY recommend if you're in the Qualicum beach area.

A solid 3.75 stars, rounded up to 4…read more Okay, so the recipe here is simple.. they make Schnitzel, which is what you think it is, deep fried. Then you have a plethora menu of toppings from the more normal... yeah, if normal is a word here, to the crazy with loaded with lots of toppings, melted cheese, to curds, to gravy, to bacon, you are getting it with either boiled red cabbage, rice, or potatoes. Look, it's tasty food, and you are going to be full up, because the portions are... plenty. Let's use that word, because it's plenty. The service is good, our server was great, he shared opinions about the menu, and they were good options. The ambiance... is casual, loud, and delicious. So why not 5? Here's the context, we came at dinner hour 5:30, lots of people eating, so tables were packed. While our Schnitzels were great, when our companions got their food, as the same time, the meatballs were just warm. After a brief apology, they quickly remade the food, but first impressions. Anyway, they did make up for it, and the places was a mess of people, so orders were likely being quickly made, and ours wasn't made completely, which was okay, overall, the food was still tasty, ours, and our group's food when a totally new order came from the kitchen. So it's not a bad place, I would come again, and if you want to leave full, and not even remotely hungry, this is the place for you.

Giovanni's is split into two distinct restaurants: fine Italian cuisine in the main restaurant area…read moreand a lounge side catering to pizza enthusiasts, like me. What the lounge may lack in outward beauty, that is fully made up for (and then some) with its main course. Done in what I call "Greek Style", the pizza is baked in a pan and has a cupped edge crust that the ingredients come out to meet, with the bulk of the cheese spread on top. Additionally, Giovanni's has developed a wonderful sauce, which is not too sweet. Fresh ingredients and lots of them as well. When brought to your table by Tracey or one of the other wonderful staff, it is a thing of golden beauty. I never order anything less than a large (see photo) because I always want to take some home. Truly one of the top pies on the island. Enjoy!
