Restaurants near Lantzville

“Excellent food, service and ambiance! We loved it and will be back!”

“This Xmas wasn't an option to cook Xmas dinner so we searched for an alternative. The Lantzville Pub was preparing Xmas dinner to take out. Decision was easy. It was one of the best Xmas dinners ever. Light and dark meat turkey, dressing, potatoes, brussel sprouts, carrots and squash along with gravy and cranberries. There was enough left over (for both of us) for turkey sandwiches for lunch today! We were told by one of the staff that the kitchen staff did the whole thing. They deserve a huge round of applause for all their work and good food. We visit this Pub fairly often so this is one more time that we will probably make it a point of visiting again. Thanks to all for making our Xmas special and all the best to all of you for the New Year. See you soon!!!!”

“came to this bistro for the first time on March 22, 2025 for a surprise 70th birthday for a family member. Found the setting comfortable, the staff knowledgeable, friendly and the service top notch. Ordered the platter for two and it was so good, the calamari was the best!! Our table numbered 15 people and all food arrived hot and all family was eating at the same time. This bistro is amazing!! As we travel to Gabriola Island fairly often, we will be stopping here for dinner again!!”

“My wife, daughter, and our friend went to Nori tonight for dinner, we are new to the island and our friend had never been before either, so we went off a recommendation from a coworker of mine. The food was absolutely fantastic, great quality, amazing portion size for the prices, and the best part of all was the service, exceptional staff that very obviously worked together as a team, always making sure we were being helped regardless if it was our dedicated server (Lily who was awesome) or not. Highly recommend going for a wonderful experience on a food and personal level. Thanks for the great dinner!”

“A friend and I went to Jalapeño's for the first time yesterday and had a wonderful time. Friendly, helpful service; menu prices are more than reasonable; and the food was all delicious. We shared the choriqueso [like a cheese fondue with chorizo sausage in it] and it was fantastic. Melty, tasty, not overly spicy! We ate it as a starter and also put some of it onto our mains when those came out. We both ordered the taco trio [one carne asada, one carnitas, one al pastor] which comes with rice and beans. It was all good, but the beans were amazing! Feel silly saying that about beans, but they were the best refritos I've ever had. We also both had the hibiscus drink and it was fantastic, not super sweet and a nice floral taste. After our meal, we paid and each got one of their buñeolos [a crispy donut of sorts] to take home. That was crispy and coated in cinnamon-sugar. I'll definitely be back!”

“We had an amazing treat at Ironworks Cafe & Creperie. So many tempting choices, both sweet and savoury. Three of us wanted to share two crepes, and asked if our choices could be cut into thirds. Renee plated the thirds individually with full garnishes. 🌟🌟🌟 We had the ‘Four Berries and Cream” (sweet) and the ‘Spinach, Artichoke & Brie” (savoury). Hmmmmm. Latte was excellent. 🌟 Locally owned, caringly staffed, local ingredients. So impressed. Thank you.”
