Restaurants in Courtenay

“It is hard to resist buying everything”

“I love the Atlas ! every time we’ve been the food is absolutely delicious and unique, and the staff are wonderful. Today we went and didn’t realize it was “all breakfast Sunday”. I had my heart set on clam chowder, with only breakfast food I thought it might not be for me but the waitress was so good we decided to stay and I ended up having the best breakfast Huevos rancheros , it was absolutely delicious .. and I also ordered the wrong type of wine.. well the waitress even changed in the wine for me.. really appreciated her .. thank you Atlas cafe and staff !!”

“This is in my experience is the substantially superior Pita Pit. The one in Campbell River is a skid mark compared to this beauty!
Staff are dope. Food is legit. They just know how to do er. I went here last week and it was the girls first day and she made me a mean pita. a real natural. You go girl!!!! giver a raise. Great time everytime.
sluttiest wraps in town!!”

“Great accomodating menu with lots of rotating options like soups and baked goods. Amazing drinks and smoothies, I love the "blueberry pie" smoothie. My non-vegan dad is obsessed with the "boss burger." I always get the daily bakery special 😋”

“Great Atmosphere, enjoyed the Beer. The Chicken Wings Sucked. Will not order again. The Burger and Fries were Good. Servers very friendly and helpful.”

“The friendly staff make every visit and every occasion special. The menu has something for everyone and items that meet the requirements of many specialized diets. Love the food ♥️”

“Thank you again for a wonderful experience today ! we loved the food . I mean I'm almost ready to drive back for more !!! the atmosphere was very nice and very clean ! we will definitely be back !!!”

“I love their variety of vegan flavors. Lots of places add one or two vegan options, but there's at least 5 options here, and they rotate regularly. Very happy that they introduced a vegan version of their spruce tip ice cream!! Friendly staff, clean and cute building, unique and delicious ice cream. I'll have to try their coffees next time. 🍦”

“Tried it from North Nanaimo for the first time. You’ve gained a new customer!”

“We always have delicious fresh food here! The staff are all helpful and nice and willing to make us the happiest! Thank-you for keeping us feed and happy always! And ps, it’s a great price too!”

“We stopped in for lunch and the place was "jumping". Nevertheless, the friendly staff found a great table for us, and our server appeared in no time to take our orders. My wife had the mulligatawny soup, which she found delicious. I ordered the gouda and bacon burger and must say that it's without a doubt the best burger I've had in the Comox Valley. We both really enjoyed our lunch and would have no problem in recommending Rhodos Coffee & Bistro.”

“Highly recommend, had the Pork belly Bennie. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Staff amazing. Wish we had a place like this in Nanaimo A++++”

“Cool spot, good food, great beer, fun local events”

“Great Tim Hortons location! The staff are always friendly and quick especially Marg and Dheb. The place is clean and welcoming. Definitely one of the better Tim’s I’ve been to.”

“A premium price for sure, but for premium pizza. Ample sauce, ample toppings and awesome taste. Minimum $28 (+ tax) for a large pizza. Still good as a “day-after” or hangover pizza. Pastas are great, too.
Order to ready time is 30 minutes up to 45.
Storefront business, no dine-in, just pick up or delivery. Order online, by phone or in-person.
Shared parking with plaza.”

“My Friend Just Ordered Chinese Food And We Were Pleasantly Surprised Will Definitely Be Going Back! Thank You”

“Very good food 🍲 and customer service delicious 🤤 soup I will be back soon.”

“The chef and his creativity of good food and superb presentation. The ambience and the professionalism of the waiters and waitresses when serving our food specially Jace , he was so pleasant and very attentive to our needs during our dinner. Love your Resto . I will highly recommend it to our family and friends😘”

“Absolutely delicious every time we go. Super fast from order to table. love the Katsu Sando and the Tonkotsu Ramen. And has Gluten Free Options! edited: and the new Yuzu icecream is adorable and delicious!”

“My friend Bert and I attended lunch the other day and it was MAGNIFICENT, MAGNIFICENT, and MAGNIFICENT. What a BEAUTIFUL lunch and sitting outside on the patio--Keep up the SUPERB service----”

“I enjoy the Wednesday family night with my kids . staff are very helpful with my chaotic children”

“We have eaten at Javier's several times and have taken various family members there at different times too. We are always blown away by the exceptional service and the absolutely delicious food. I would give them 15/10 every single time. One of our absolute favourite restaurants. Thank you from Erica and Terry (and all of our family) *********************”

“My go to spot for soups and sandwiches! Wonderful, friendly and quick service. Very tasty food that is fairly priced and I appreciate all the different combo options. Also, great scone that comes with the soups!! 10/10 😊”

“Delicious croissants! They are definitely worth a visit. We had their smoked meat and mustard croissants, as well as their pain au chocolat. Very buttery and flavorful.”

“Sushi Joes has the BEST sashimi! Try the sushi pizza or salad. If you're not a fan of sushi, try the Bi Bim Bap. It some crackling hot with amazing, tasty, crispy rice on the bottom!🤤”

“The food was absolutely amazing! It was my first time here and I had the lamb sandwich, which I’ll definitely be ordering again. The only downside was the service—our server came across as quite cold and never checked in to see how we were enjoying our meal or if we needed anything else. The food alone makes me want to come back, but I hope the service improves to match the quality of the kitchen.”

“Great food, reasonable prices, excellent fast service, super pleasant staff, and the Takoyaki (たこ焼き) was absolutely amazing 👌🥰👍”

“Love this place, but... Kids including babies should not be allowed in the bar side for obvious reasons. Come on guys, give us adults some space for peace. Had a 2yr old looking over the booth constantly, now a crying baby, jesus”

“First time customers! Will be back! No preservatives, fresh! Doesn't make you feel bloated! Tastes AMAZING!!!! 5 STARS!”

“Went today for the first time since it changed ownership. I had always found it only mediocre before. Today was amazing. The server was amazing…polite, friendly, went above and beyond. Our perogies were delicious and it was the best cabbage roll I’ve ever had (apart from my own mother’s! lol and I’m very picky about cabbage rolls). It was my son’s 12th birthday and all he wanted was perogies and this did not disappoint! We will be back and spreading the word. Thank you so much ❤️”

“Thank you so much for creating such a beautiful cake for our daughter’s wedding. Simple but elegant, and SO delicious, it was perfect in every way! Michele & The Cakebread Team are amazing! Nancy and Chris”

“Last night a group of us had the pleasure of eating here last night and man were we impressed!
Even though they were super busy inside (we were out on the patio) the service was awesome!
Our server was super attentive and efficient!
The portions were huge and the prices were very affordable and most importantly the food was great!
We will definitely be returning!”

“I love this garden as an herbalist because it has an incredible variety of plants to discover - including medicinal shrubs, a large garden and so many different tree species. When I was here I saw a Korean Fir tree which is so beautiful 🤩. Highly recommend visiting!”

“So good, we come from the sushi wasteland of Powell River, just to eat here.”

“Best food and drinks in all of the Comox Valley.”

“it was by far the best shnitzel I have ever had. the pineapple sweet and sour was delicious. I came all the way from Langley BC and it was well worth it.I highly recommend that you try it. great food and great people. what more could you ask for.”

“Love this little place. I always come for brunch a few times when I am over visiting from the UK. Fantastic food and attentive,friendly staff.”

“Soooo amazing. The Ferrero rocher cinnamon buns were so good I’m bring some home to my gluten eating family! Thank you thank you thank you!!”

“delicious food, lovely people”

“I’ve been on the hunt for the best cinnamon bun and I’ve found it - unfortunately, I live in the South Island so won’t be able to get them as often as I’d like…but maybe that is a blessing in disguise 😊. Fluffy dough, light topping of crumbled sugar and butter and gooey base. Not too sweet and not dry at all. Seriously THE best cinnamon bun I’ve had and I’ve tried them up and down the island.”

“The nicest kindest place with the tastiest coffee! We ordered two coffees and a sandwich but left without the sandwich. Totally on us, we were chatting and distracted. When we went back an hour later they replaced it no questions and were so kind about it! Incredible service!”

“exceptional staff who love working with the GVL residents”

“coffee is grate and you will leave with a smile”

“Since opening day, at this Courtenay franchise, ALL the staff and management at this establishment have always been friendly, efficient, and courteous. The food has always been very good. Pizza, Boneless wings, bread, etc. I can recommend them without any reservations. I typically order online and have had no issues whatsoever. :)”

“All I can say is wow! The gyro pita was amazing. Crisp fresh lettuce! The taziki was super tasty. The calamari was incredible and tasty. The baklava was comparable to a resto I ate in Crete last month! Super happy I took the plunge and ordered! Will be ordering more and more from here! Thank you for a great meal!!! SETON, Calgary AB”

“Don't let the parking or line up deter you. This is the best pizza I've ever had. It is very reasonably priced, loaded with toppings, THICK slices of bacon, fresh mushrooms, just absolutely perfect in every way. Also, possibly the best BLT I've ever had. I can confidently say, that for as long as I live in the valley, I will never get pizza anywhere else.”

“Yummy! I ate 2 churros and forgot to take a picture. Fresh, warm goodness!”

“I’ve bought their focaccia bread regularly since moving to the valley 9 years ago and their take & bake pizzas are always a 10/10 as well. But today (for the first time) we tried their cinnamon buns and despite me not being a lover of sweets I ended up convincing my kids to share half of theirs with me because they were TO DIE FOR!!! Not to mention, we were there on a year-end Scavenger hunt from our piano teacher and the customer service, kindness, and general friendly vibe was something you don’t often see. Thank so much to all of you amazing staff at Vassili’s! We will (of course) be back and felt fortunate to get to share your amazing gifts with our new-to-the-valley friends!”

“The story of Emilie and Cam's 1st Anniversary blew my mind! Your staff absolutely rocked their experience and proved that you are THE place to go for anytime fun, special evenings and when company comes to town! Knocked it out of the park!!”

“Avneet is very friendly and attentive, making breakfast so much more enjoyable.

Wheelchair accessibility: The breakfast room is 100% accessible.”

“Absolutely hands down the best gyro I've ever had. Stop reading reviews and just come here.. The food is SOOO fresh, they treat you like old family friends and the building has so much character. I got the combo and that kept me full for hours. I will definitely be bringing everyone who visits me to this insanely wonderful restaurant.”

“Boba Island is an absolutely amazing establishment. They take humongous care of the making of their boba and their costumers. Got the taro and lemon fruit slush and both were absolutely delicious. It was also my birthday and they were kind enough to give me their bubble waffle treat for free. Super caring and overall wonderful vibes. 100/10 would suggest going and dare I say the highlight of Comox!! :))”

“I was visiting the city of courtwnay market festival and a cheeseburger was 3$!?!!

So I ordered two and wow the wait was so worth it. So simple and delicious and you can tell it was homemade and with love. It was like eating my parents home made patties. A family run business and a very cool place to visit and hang out im sure. The milkshakes looked delicious as well as the loaded hash! I will definitely come back when I visit the Comox valley again.”

“Tasty coffee, vegan cookies & ice cream sandwiches from blue spruce. Friendly service and welcoming atmosphere. Love to make a pit stop here when doing a walk around the air park”

“My husband and step-son went through your drive thru. My step-son, who is Autistic and LOVES the root beer lollipops, asked for a couple. The server went above and beyond and made his day. Thank you so much.”

“I am never disappointed in the quality and quantity of the food served here. You out do yourselves in quick and friendly service too.”

“I ordered Triple O's last night via skipthedishes and everything was absolutely delicious! We ordered two bacon cheeseburger combos and chicken tenders to share. The burger is so tasty and full of flavour, the fries were nice and crispy, and the chicken tenders were so delicious. I also wanted to add the photo to this review-- I thought the little note on our receipt was so cute and made our night! Thank you Triple O's for the delicious food ( as always) and the cute little note that you left! 😊”

“I am never disappointed when I come to eat here. The food is amazing, fresh and well valued. Their service is amazing and they go the extra mile to make your experience enjoyable. I highly recommend this place, you will not be disappointed!”

“The only stumbling block at this place is the fact that they only accept cash, which you can easily cover if you're ready for it. Service is extremely quick - if you order salad rolls you'll be eating in five minutes, and if you don't you'll be eating in less than ten.

The menu is on the small side but everything on it is a winner, with attentive and polite staff and truly awful decor that's worth coming to experience on its own. Pistachio green walls, posters that are probably older than I am, and statuettes lining the wall between the seating area and the cash register. It hasn't changed since I've first been there and I never want it to.”

“Where the fun begins! Come on down and check out the activities!”

“This fella in the sandwich shop is like a stealthy ninja of the sub world! Seriously, he whipped up my sub with such blistering speed, it felt like I was witnessing a fast-food magic show. When he applied those tomatoes, it was as if he had a secret superpower—blink and you'd miss it! Despite the whirlwind of action, everything was impeccably arranged; not a single tomato was spilling over, and no rogue toppings were making a bid for freedom. This guy isn’t just a sandwich maker; he’s a true artist of the sub realm. Bravo, my friend—take a bow!”

“food is amazing and the staff are so client focused. We are regulars. Thank you for great service”

“Gill is the best! My sandwich was made well, he listened and recommended things to us and went above and beyond to give the best service he could! I would go back to this location specifically because of Gill!”

“Best prices and best service!!”

“I've ordered through the app at all the Subways in the valley, including the one in Buckley Bay, and this location consistently loads that sandwich all the way up. The other places seem to put a bit less when you order ahead, but not this place. It's the go-to if you're looking for a good Subway.”

“Had the chipotle tofu main in my burrito, was super impressed. Lots of variety and customisation. Very flavourful burrito. A dairy free cheese option would be good too, and would love clarification on whether any of the salsa are vegan. Only real issue is not being able to swap non vegan items for vegan items. Cheese for roasted vegetables for example is an easy swap and probably more lucrative for the store yet they won’t do it. So instead I will take the cheese on the side and throw away or give to someone rather than allowing the company to save money.”

“Great Atmosphere, enjoyed the Beer. The Chicken Wings Sucked. Will not order again. The Burger and Fries were Good. Servers very friendly and helpful.”

“Even though you guys had no driver, you went out of your way to deliver to the ER..thank you for feeding us to keep us going!”

“Every time I visit family in Courtenay, we make sure to visit Plates. The last time was a sad affair after a death in the family, and some good food was needed. The compassion and kindness shown by staff was also needed and we are grateful for the that. Highly recommend and will continue going back. Thank you (Jayda!) <3”

“Only went there a few times, but each time was always better than the last”

“Wonderful Food and cheerful service.”

“A perfect wonderful far out lounge to hang out at and relax and socialize and play pool and very good bartender by the name of Helena who is always super happy to serve customers at any time with a big smile on her face and 100% good customer service and a very good excellent diverse selection of music featuring Top 40-Country music and a little dose of heavy metal. I strongly recommend checking this lounge out you will love it and lounge manager who is also the manager of the Flying Canoe pub Todd looks like Shaggy from the cartoon Scooby Doo. Hey now peace out and have a nice day. Enjoy yourself and rock on.”

“A very nice friendly local pub with very good hard working good hearted caring loving loyal cheerful friendly staff like Tarun and Amanda who are always glad to serve their customers at any time with big smiles on their faces and very good tasting delicious super yummy food and 100% good customer service. Live jazz music every Thursday night and Sunday night karaoke with the 1 and only Milo and the pub manager Todd looks like a member of the legendry British rock band the Beatles. Check tis pub out you will love it. Now peace out and have a good day.”

Again, someone posted that George's is permanently closed. But today, May 19,2025, I am enjoying their delicious bacon cheeseburger.”
