"‘Canada’s Best New Restaurant 2014’, enRoute magazine: enjoy locally inspired dishes and creative cocktails upstairs in our dining room or downstairs in The Den."

"Chef/owner Lisa Ahier and husband Artie started a purple food truck in Tofino in 2003. EnRoute named it one of Canada’s best new restaurants in its first year. Today the Ahiers have a brick and mortar restaurant on Neill Street and are celebrating their new book The Sobo Cookbook: Recipes from the Tofino Restaurant at the End of the Canadian Road, which has received a lot of media love since it was published in 2014."

"This low-ceilinged designer 'shed' has kept expanding over the years, but has never lost its welcoming locals' hangout feel. The perfect spot to grab lunch (fish tacos and a patio seat will do nicely), Shelter..."

"This place promises to provide you the most beautiful and magnificent views of ocean waves from the wild and stunning west coast that is uncommon to Vancouver Island. Adding to the beauty of this view is the splendid furnishing that comprises of fireplace and wood accents that compliments the view outside. Also, they have paid complete attention to the minute details of a customer’s preferences while making sitting arrangements to provide a very cozy and homely feeling to all."

"One of my all-time favourite places to stay is Long Beach Lodge, overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Tofino. It’s an unpretentious, friendly resort – one you’ll have a hard time leaving. I love it for its gorgeous, well-appointed rooms with a view (especially the rooms with an ocean facing balcony), the soaker tub, fireplace and lush robes."

"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."

"Well, this is the year when Tofino district came into existence and thus, the restaurant has its name. The 1909 Kitchen has been breathing more life into the ancient industrial community of the small district. When we talk about the decor of the restaurant, there is a presence of design elements made up of metal and a revealed beam."

"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."

"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)."

"Mackenzie Beach Resort is located in Tofino and offers a Jacuzzi and free Wi-Fi. It features comfortable rooms with a private bathroom and a kitchen."

The Weeping Cedar Woman statue looks over the playground, facing Meares Island Tribal Park."

"If you are craving for noodles and rice items, then this is the best place for you. Having a small but extraordinary compilation of newly made and amazingly seasoned rice and noodles, the restaurant has gained too much popularity and it has also bagged the best new business year award from the local chamber of commerce. Its special and must-taste dishes are Dan Dan, Drunken Noodle, salmon, albacore tuna pokes, and fish curry."

"Dan Dan Noodles at Sea Monster (Lindsay William-Ross/Vancouver Is Awesome). Head over to Main Street to find big bowls of flavourful noodles and tender bao buns stuffed with fillings at Sea Monster. It's a daytime-only spot (open 11:30 am to 6:30 pm daily) perfect for a casual bite."
