“As a SERIOUS Ice Cream 'addicted' person... I can honestly attest to the quality of the ice cream (Non Black Licorice' being my GO TO pretty much EVERY day!!.. to die for flavour!! Totally in love with Lizzy and Dave and the kids too! Amazing Family business. Can't wait to be the 'taste tester' for the new recipe!! <3”
“We had a lovely experience at the Masthead this week. Food was sonwell presented and delicious and in season! Service was perfec and wine and cocktail list was perfect.”
“Had lunch for the very first time at Rob’s Lighthouse Eatery yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed my Caesar wrap that Rob prepared exactly to my specs. I could not believe that I was able to purchase two wraps for $24? What an incredible value, not to mention the true blue service by Rob and Heidi. I will be back with all my friends!”
“Because we are lucky enough to live in the beautiful Cowichan Valley we are at the Leeward Cafe on an almost weekly basis. The food is always scrumptious and the staff welcoming, friendly and courteous. We love the ambience of dining in the clean and cozy cafe but in fair weather we bring our own mugs, which the staff happily fill, and we sit on the quaint benches out back and enjoy the boats and birds. The Leeward Cafe and its sister business True Grain Bakery are delightful!”
“The chef prepares excellent meals with high quality ingredients. The menu is varied and one can't go wrong. Seafood is a highlight but the lamb, beef or chicken dishes are also excellent. The prices are very reasonable and overall it is hard to believe this quality is available in such a small centre off the beaten path. I might add the service was excellent also.Kid-friendliness: In the summer the outdoor patio dining is open with a chance for younger children to stretch their legs. Staff are very easy and friendly. Menu tends toward adult choices but there are some for kids.”
“My wife and I love the Cow Bay view from booths, and overall restaurant ambiance, but it is the food that brings us back. Seafood Linguini, and the Katsu Bowl are favourites. In fact, we’ve just done take out orders of 2 Katsu Bowls, 2nd time in a week. This is a most excellent taste sensation, a combination of Thai (peanut & coconut) Japanese (Katsu crispy chicken) and creamy chow mein noodles with veggies. Try It! Yummy!”
“Popped in tonight to grab a bite to eat (Solo) before I had to scoot to my shop for the last ladies night. I tried the Lamb Jalfrezi!! What a delight! Lamb was cooked to perfection, and super tender, the veggies (peppers) still had some crunch, beautifully blended spices, basmati also cooked perfectly... I would have LICKED my bowl...however, had some soft buttery Naan to wipe the bowl clean!! My waitress (I'm sorry, I didn't ask you name... you know who you are!!). Lovely, young lady, took the time to chat a bit... it was just what I needed!! Thank you!”
“Aloha bowl I get the one that's with Avocado and extra veggies outstanding bowl and Ryan who manages it is impeccable with customer service a must if your in downtown Duncan !”
“I was very disappointed with my visit. I did not feel welcome the guy that was working had a bad attitude and seemed like he didn't want to be there. I would like to visit again on days he is not working.”
“It was a pleasant surprise to find such a nice Indian restuarant in Duncan of all places. Being an Indian, living in Surrey, I generally avoid eating Indian food when I come to the Island. However this time my buddies were craving Indian food, so we decided to give this place a try. Safe to say, this food can put most of the Surrey restaurants to shame! The food was fresh, homely and the staff were friendly. I recommend the goat curry which was really tender and well cooked. The prices were very reasonable too. If you are passing through Duncan, please give this place a try!”
“Just went with a group of people (to the Victoria Loacation), I had the Big Kahuna Burger and it was one of the best burgers I've ever had.I was hesitant about the Mango Ketchup but it was tasty.Will definitely go back and try more.Staff was friendly and even gave me a little tutorial on how to eat the burger as it is bigger than normal, the "burger bag" was a game changer.Go there, eat it. Be happy.”
“Great place.Jian’s sandwich’s are always excellent. The new benchmark for island service and food quality. Much more than just a bakery.. Particularly fond of the savoury scones, and miso cookies.. high quality bread, great crust and crumb. .”
“Stopped in on our way home to Nanaimo from Victoria. Very cool little ice cream truck in the parking lot near the Thrifty Foods. We had a couple of sundaes. The Strawberry one was very good, but the Black Forest one was amazing. The ice cream is vegan but you would never know. It didn’t have a strong coconut flavour which I do not care for. The prices were reasonable, comparable to other home made ice cream shops. There is a nice shaded seating area and you would never know you are in a parking lot. We will be back when passing though.”
“We were visiting from Victoria and grabbed a quick bite at the urban bistro. They have great choices for vegetarian and non vegetarian, perfect for us!We'll be back for sure!Thanks, J&”
“Well done Lum Lum It was great Yum Yum for my Tum Tum. I bet you’ll get that a lot lol?. The restaurant smelt amazing bathroom was clean!!! Also, the lady behind the front desk had a beautiful smile. Welcome to downtown Duncan!!! ?????”
“Very sweet staff, attentive service and the best Thai food. Better than any Thai restaurant we’ve tried in the entire lower mainland! Great gluten free options too!”
“Tucked away on Kenneth St down town Duncan. Such a quiet, calm, relaxing atmosphere, well decorated in cafe style with sufficient seating inside & out.An abundance of delicious fresh baked treats, breads, drinks & much more.Quality is superb & pricing is very fair.The gentleman & lady that served me were friendly throughout.This is a must visit if your wandering in town or just want to sip coffee & relax”
“Gluten free household here! We've tried every gluten-free pizza in this town and hands down, this crust was so good, we worried we got the wrong pizza! Created our own BBQ chicken with that garlic pizza sauce ... speechless. Price comparable to anywhere else you'd get a dry, thin, from-frozen GF crust at $26 before taxes and delivery fees. I can only assume it was made from scratch in-house - doughy, soft, crispy, and holds shape even with loaded toppings. Only waited probably half an hour for it to arrive through Door Dash. Y'all doing the Lord's work for Duncan's gluten-sensitive! I'd give it 10 stars if I could - we'll be ordering again for sure!Dietary restrictions: (See above) - gluten-free crust available in 12" size, which is more than enough for two people.”
“The Old Firehouse continues to be an amazing place with creative cocktails and delicious food! This community-minded business is well worth the visit, as always. Great for drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), appetizers, and gourmet meals of various sizes. Friendly, enthusiastic staff. Check it out!”
“Crystal & her staff have an amazing little cafe. They are very personable & make you feel welcomed.The food is always packed with flavor & It’s never a disappointment when we get lunch or snacks.The price is very well worth what you get. I would suggest this place to anyone wanting real food with sustenance & made with passion/love.Great job ladies & thank you for being here for the community”
“I kept driving by the brewery going to Victoria from Campbell River. I arranged to have my son and girlfriend meet me there for lunch a few weeks back.Food is delicious BUT the beer is truly a work of art.I am hooked on yout Topaz Hibiscus. So smooth. So quenching. Hope it is repeated. Cheers to your Brewmaster.”
“Some of the best bread I've had recently, and their sandwiches are always delectable (although often large enough to send me into a food coma afterwards.) Good coffee, too.”
“Went here for the first time today and it will be our new go-to stop! I love that they carry a full selection of Blume products. Great coffee, great food, clean and spacious, and friendly atmosphere.”
“Excellent spot for really really good food. Burger was one of the best I’ve had and the Benny was delicious. Their side potatoes aren’t amazing so I’d skip those next time. The service isn’t fast (assuming because everything is made fresh and created with care) so don’t stop in if you’re in a big hurry. Heated patio and restaurant were full at 11am on a weekday so it’s a popular place. Turnover seems consistent though so not too long of a wait for a table. A definite must in Duncan as great food is hard to find there.”
“I can't get enough of this stuff! Seriously, if I had to choose just one place to eat for the rest of my life, it would be Paco's Tacos. The people are super nice, they use quality ingredients, and the food is always fresh and SO flavorful. 10/10 for quality, service, and food. You can't go wrong with anything you order from them, just make sure to grab lots of napkins!”
“The food is always well prepared, service is always friendly and quick, and prices are quite reasonable. The steak fries and Coke really got rid of the grumpies today. Thank you!”
“We hired Fresh Tandoori Indian Restaurant Royal Oak to do our event catering. They went above and beyond our expectations and the food was delicious the presentation of food was done very beautifully. I would highly recommend them for your next event big or small.”
“We had a delicious meal at the cafe this morning! The food was sooo tasty and made with fresh ingredients. The prices were very reasonable. Service was great and the atmosphere is funky! Love visiting this restaurant whenever we get over to the island for a visit?”
“Incredible experience!!! Such amazing staff!! Best crepes I’ve ever had!! They even split the sweet crepe without us even having to ask when the found out we were sharing it!!”

“Happened to be in this area, and stopped by out of curiosity. Came in with no real expectations. I grabbed a breakfast sandwich, and it was truly one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve eaten. Everything from the toppings to the bun was on point. Will be back next time I’m in the area.”
