    Tidal Cafe - Tidal Bowl with smoked brisket

    Incredible brunch food and kind service! We went back again because it was so delicious, especially…read morethe bennies. Great quality, fresh, and good coffee 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??

    D's Cafe was my very first breakfast on the island. It is tucked away just off a "local" walking…read morepath - between a small marina and the tiny private airstrip. It is a lovely little cafe where you walk up to the main counter to place your order - and they bring the food out to your table. On the day we went - the cafe was totally packed with charm and locals galore. Service is warm and friendly - and super efficient. The food we had was fantastic - and they even customized the food for one of the members of our party to accommodate a special dietary requirement. The restaurant is also wheelchair / walker accessible with ramps for those which physical limitations. We had a delightful meal. Seating is off the front, the back and they also have tables inside. Surprised I am the first to review this gem. I believe they take debit and cash only. Parking is in an adjacent lot.

    Gave it another chance yesterday, wasn't impressed the first time, so thought I would try another…read moremenu item. Blackened chicken wrap - no flavor at all, and very little chicken. I got a blueberry bran muffin to go for a quick breakfast the next day, well the 6 blueberries on the top were it.... not a blueberry inside and it was very sweet and cake tasting, not like any other bran muffin I had. Will not return or recommend. The location is great and the decor is lovely, that I will give it.

    On a trip to Courtney, The Yellow Deli was highly recommended to us. We thought it looked…read moreinteresting from the outside, and decided to give it a try for brunch. An enchanting little restaurant is apparently known for its sandwiches and deserts. Interesting and home cabin style décor, we received a warm welcome when we arrived and were taken to our table. A couple of minutes after being seated. We waited no time for our server to take our order and had hot coffee within a minute or two. The service was friendly and efficient. The food didn't take long and was superb! The breakfast sandwich was excellent. The bread was made in house, the bacon was divine, and the home-made blueberry muffin was fresh and warm. It was a great experience and live in the Fraser Valley, we have since learned there is a Yellow Deli in Chilliwack.

    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.
