Best Outdoor Activities in Tofino

"Sister restaurant to Shika Provisions on Bowen Island, Kuma is a new kid on the Tofino block serving Japanese comfort food, sake and craft beer to folks who play hard outside. This is casual Japanese at its best. We’re talking about crunchy chicken karaage, Osaka-style okonomiyaki, spicy kimchi udon with shredded pork shoulder, and deeply flavourful house ramen in shio broth."

"Kuma Tofino has been a town favourite and local staple since 2014. They serve wholesome Japanese style comfort food based on heritage recipes in a welcoming, warm environment. You can enjoy hearty bowls of ramen after a day surfing or hiking and other comfort food dishes like Okonomiyaki (a Japanese pancake) and more."

"Located in an industrial area of town, RedCan Gourmet offers gourmet take-out for the days you just want to hibernate inside your hotel room after your beach combing or hiking plans get rained out. Executive Chef Tim May sources food locally and works closely with First Nations communities to prepare delectable meals that are reasonably priced by Tofino standards. The artisan pizza ($12-$22) is a local favourite, but I loved my house fettuccine with beef tender tips, mushrooms, red pepper and pesto sauce ($18.95)."

"Relax with a glass of wine, beer or cider on the Café’s beachfront patio, inside by the fireplace, or at the massive driftwood bar. A casual menu features tasty bites to accompany your beverage. There are so many ways to enjoy the cafe – just walk in."

"This one's for the veggies: Bravocados offers a completely vegetarian menu, with several options that are vegan or can be adapted to be vegan, as well as gluten-free items, too. You'll find anything from chocolate-drizzled waffles to fresh bowls, tostadas, meat-free pulled "pork," and burgers, and creative desserts here, too. Address: 3-368 Main Street, Tofino"

"Bravacados is a small, humble eatery in a strip-mall serving hearty vegan comfort cuisine & salad bowls with worldly fusion flavours. They are Tofino’s only dedicated vegan restaurant. Their entire menu is vegetarian, with most items vegan or having a vegan option at the very least."
