Best Canadian food near Tofino, British Columbia, Canada

May 11, 2020 Agatha Simes

Reviews on Canadian food in Tofino, British Columbia, Canada. It's true: you can surf in Canada. And Tofino, on the west coast of Vancouver Island, is where you'll find exceptional surfing, Canadian-style. Busiest in summer, Tofino also fills up in winter when storm watchers descend upon this tiny town. Stay at an upscale inn and enjoy the town that affectionately calls itself The Tree Loving Capital of the World.

We were recommended to try this spot by the tourist centre and it proved to be a little gem. The breakfasts, savouries and pastries are all prepared or cooked freshly each day and the service is prompt and helpful. Coffee is on a self service basis, making it quick and easy.

1909 Kitchen

Honouring the history of our coastal locale, our restaurant was named after the year Tofino got its name. With a fresh take on local ingredients, our shared plates are devised by Top Chef Canada 2019, Paul Moran. Unwind off the water with wood-fired bites

We read about the renovations and changes and so decided to try this restaurant again for breakfast. The Reno’s are great - the place looks beautiful. However... service was pleasant but disorganized- juices were forgotten and had to ask twice before they finally made it to the table. The English muffins on the eggs Benedict were rock hard. The breakfast potatoes tasted odd - not sure if they were getting old or if the oil in the fryer hadn’t been changed - either way it was not very good. Eggs were ok, bacon ok, coffee good. We were in Tofino for 6 days and didn’t go back. Too bad because the view and decor are lovely.

Went here for breakfast and to say it was fabulous would be an understatement. I had the mushroom/polenta dish and it was unlike anything I had ever had for breakfast before. It was soooo flavourful!! The view of the beach was terrific, watching surfers in the water and people on the beach walking.

This is a lovely restaurant that is highly rated. The room is round to maximize the view of the water and the sunset was lovely. It is a high end restaurant associated with the INN and as such I found it to be expensive and a little stuffy although the service was as you would expect in this type of restaurant. The meal was very good with a lovely presentation but I personally prefer a more off the beaten path, smaller and interesting find of a restaurant.Dear hsherm56,Thank you for posting a Review of your recent dining experience at The Pointe Restaurant on Trip Advisor and sharing your experience with our online community.While we are pleased you enjoyed dining at The Pointe Restaurant, we are disappointed to read that you felt the service was stuffy as it is our expectation that our team provides friendly and sincere service to every guest. Please accept our most sincere apology. Each of our team members attend and participate in seminars which have been created by us and specifically tailored to all aspects of the Wickaninnish Inn service experience. We thank you for your feedback.We are surprised you felt The Pointe Restaurant was expensive as we do monitor similar properties and our Relais & Chateaux peers in a sincere effort to remain competitive. While the cost of the food is a function of not only the outstanding food products, many of which are locally sourced organic products and many others made in-house by our team members, but also incorporate the costs of high-end table ware and of course providing a spectacular oceanfront location. While it is our hope that our guests feel the experience is worth the price, any suggestions you have which would enhance your feeling of value for price paid would be most welcome.On behalf of Charles McDiarmid and The Pointe Restaurant team, we thank you for your Review.Sandy StockerGuest Relations CoordinatorWickaninnish Inn & The Pointe Restaurant

We were craving a fresh green Cali style Spring mix salad and a pizza along for the ride. Expectations exceeded! I doubted the balsamic maple salad dressing, but in self-administered portions it matched and amplified the fresh greens.Every pizza and pizza opinion is different, but this was fabulous the first time and as two left-overs. Get this pizza.
