In addition to many types of meat pies, they serve a daily soup (was Leek), daily sweet pies (that day, rhubarb), sweet white rolls, and cookies/sweets. It is small (only two tables) but does take out and frozen foods as well. The chicken pie I got was delicious and such a rare comfort food for a quick lunch on the road, that I felt compelled to share! My pie came with a delicious sweet white roll... and I took home a slice of rhubarb! Everything was very very good. Will stop by for a frozen meat pie next time !

Im a single guy and dont like to work too hard on cooking proper meals, but now I buy a few every week for the freezer, and I can have a nice home style dinner, like mom used to make. I like their deserts as well. For those that care, they also have gluten free meals.

Having just arrived in Orcas Island, we heard many rave reviews about Matia. I would say I wasn't…read moretoo impressed, but I liked the food. We ordered the Birria Foccacia and Scallop Crudo. We came here thinking they would have actual meals, but the stuff we ordered, especially the Scallop Crudo, left us still hungry. The Birria Foccacia looked and tasted good, but not so reminiscent of actual Birria, as the consommé served with it tasted just like taco seasoning broth, no tanginess, such as lime or cilantro, added to it. With the Scallop Crudo, I would say they called it Vietnamese Nuoc Cham sauce, but I think they were actually thinking of the Lao Jeow Som. Sauce for the Scallop Crudo was delicious, though. I loved how fresh the ingredients were. For drinks, I got a mocktail of their Amaretto, I think. I liked the drink, it tasted very cozy for the weather. Overall, dishes are all farm to table here. That's why it is priced the way it is, but perhaps I wish there were just more to eat.

WHAT WE TRIED Chicken Leg Bowl with Scallion Oil Sliced Noodles and Braised Egg Large BYO Lamb Shoulder Bowl with Scallion Oil Thin Noodles and Braised Egg Jasmine Green Tea with Pearls & Pineapple Green Tea with Coconut Jelly The chicken leg was well-seasoned and incredibly tender, effortlessly falling off the bone. The lamb shoulder was equally good, with the meat absorbing the sauce perfectly. Both types of noodles we tried were springy with the perfect chew, providing a satisfying texture that complemented the proteins well. The braised egg was flavorful, with a rich, savoury taste that added an extra layer of indulgence. For our sides, we opted for black fungus, bean sprouts, celery and carrots, and corn. Each vegetable was fresh, adding a balance of crunch and subtle sweetness that elevated the overall dish. The variety of textures and flavours from the sides made every bite more dynamic and enjoyable. Overall, the combination of tender proteins, perfectly cooked noodles, and fresh sides made for a well-rounded and satisfying meal.

There were also two empty tables on the patio, but customers were told that they don't like to seat customers there, since their kitchen likes to throw things out there. In my opinion, if that is the case they should have removed the tables in that area to avoid confusion. I ordered the crab cake bowl and strawberry milkshake. The crab bowl flavor was good, but could have used more crab. The hash browns were nicely cooked and the vegetable ratio was good. Strawberry milkshake was really nice, not too sweet and just the right amount of strawberry flavor. Had the customer service been better I would have rated this higher, but unfortunately our experience started off poorly.

Swung in here after a long morning of driving and hiking around Lopez Island…read more Greet by the friendly waitress. This time of year it's very slow on Lopez so we had the restaurant to ourselves. It's deceivingly large on the inside and plenty of outside sitting. Today was an inside kind of day. We ordered and enjoyed some cocktails before eating. We shared a clam chowder and a bacon jelly burger. Both very good and satisfying. We also spent a good time talking to Jerry who cooked our meal but I'm assuming is the owner. What a pleasant person. Enjoyed the conversation immensely. We ordered some desserts to have back at our hotel. Oh did I mention the desserts are made from scratch by them. We got a slice of carrot cake and a slice of berry pie. Definitely a must stop place if you're on Lopez Island.

An absolute must, served warm with a fragrant and flavourful olive oil. The olives are so simple yet the chef adds a ton of behind the scenes flavours (think, marinating in a bunch of complimentary flavours). I ordered the vegan and GF dal one night! Huge portions with fresh shaved vegetables and a generous serving of lentils. A hearty and comforting meal that packs a ton for protein. I was utterly stuffed for hours after this meal. Next night, I ordered the vegan and GF pizza (no fake cheese, just a ton of partnered vegetables, herbs, and pine nuts). I loved this dish. Again, huge servings and a ton of delicate touches. The roasted squash added such a lovely texture and the dill and pine nuts were an excellent choice. We also got the salad, which was anything but basic. Pine nuts and herbs and a sweet, savoury dressing. It was all super excellent. Thank you for making our island experience truly remarkable!
