Once again Yelp helped us to find a great breakfast spot while in Port Alberni checking it out. The…read moreplace is eclectically decorated, maybe not for everyone, but we liked it. Sat at the bar for something different. We were enthusiastically greeted and sat right away, menu's and water immediately. All the staff had smiles on their faces, and typical in a small town knew a lot of people's names as they walked in. Plenty of takeaway while we were there, so you know the food is good, and comes out hot. Our orders were taken (traditional brekkie) and our orders came out quite quickly in spite of how busy they were. The potatoes were a little plain for me, but I peppered as I usually do, and even added a bit of salt which I never do. The portions were a good size, the price was more than fair, and the service was great. We'll be back next time we are in the area and we'll give the lunch a go!

I've never ordered a beef dip sandwich before, but it was absolutely BOMB and I definitely will be ordering it more in future. 10/10 for the sandwich! The soup was nice, but it wasn't really a flavour I'd normally order, I would try the minestrone next time. The service was all you needed, helpful, took a reasonable amount of time to bring food, and there were no mistakes with a group of 7 of us. This is a very casual place that had lots of seating and was pretty busy on a Saturday late-morning! *this is your sign to get the beef dip!* haha

I ordered the seafood sandwich and I loved it but what honestly I loved most was the humble house side salad which said it all-the carrots were clearly graded fresh and the lettuce and cabbage and cucumbers and tomatoes were all delicious. I complemented the chefs and they came out and proudly told me that they get fresh food six days a week and took pride and telling me how they prepared the meal. When you can take a simple side salad and make it so startlingly fresh and lovely it tells you everything you need to know about a place.

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.

I would suggest that they get some bar stool for the high top counter outside to add some additional seating. I love that they bake everything here in house. The portions are good. The chicken sandwich is highly recommended. On another visit we also had the almond croissant and the monte blanc cruffin. The almond croissant is sliced with the almond paste added in after the croissant was baked. This tehcnique is a smart shortcut but not a true almon croissant in the classic sense. It's not super sweet but can be heavy. They have a decent selection of drinks but there's quite a markup on the beer and cider. Recommended.
