Restaurants near Pender Island

“Dropped in on a Sunday afternoon in December to discover a really delightful jam session ongoing! Had lattes and lunch and fantastic entertainment in a cozy relaxed setting! It's small, but we were lucky to find a table and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!”

“This is not a drill — the food is AMAZING. Eva is so kind. We went for dinner last night and went back today for breakfast. Salad, pizza, coffee, pastries - everything was better than the next. Cinnamon bun is not overhyped, best one I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to also stay at WOODS next time we’re on Pender :)”

“I had spanakopita and cappuccino brownie, with a coffee. Both were excellent. I could happily have eaten EVERYTHING in the shop!”

“omfg the breaky burger hasn't changed and it's fricken amazing dam! been craving it for a while live in abby so don't get anything like it out there! so when I come bak to pender this is a must for me! thanks Josh”

“Really enjoy the Hub. Amazing wine list, varied menu, lovely decor, great service. A little heavy on the mushrooms (would really appreciate a few more options without them!) but a lovely, classy adult space.”

“We came here in December to check the place out as we are getting married at Poet's Cove in July.

The food was fantastic. We ate here 3 nights and one breakfast and for tbe most part, everything was tasty and exactly what we wanted.

Some points to improve:

- The music sometimes stopped in the dining room and there was ads (probably using Spotify free version)

- It sometimes took more than normal times for staff to notice people waiting at the entrance to be seated.

All in all, food was great and the staff were all very friendly, would recommend.”

“Had an absolutely wonderful anniversary dinner at Sirens Bistro. Bella, our server was very attentive and lovely to speak with. My husband ordered the seafood spaghettini and he would give it an eleven if there was such a thing. I ordered the poke bowl and, living in Vancouver, poke bowls are everywhere and I have had many. Not only was this one the best blend of flavors but, when I passed it to my husband to finish it as I was stuffed, there was still ahi tuna left. It was jammed with tuna. The staff worked so hard and it was evident in our evening. Beautiful location, fantastic meal, wonderful service 5+ all the way!”

“Such an incredible gem! We were blow away by the friendly staff, and welcoming Hostess (Abby?) Who thoughtfully checked in with us throughout our stay. Food was spectacular! This place has heart.”

“Myself and my two friends were in Galiano and ate lunch at Babes. We had the blackened chicken quesadilla with rice and salad. We loved it - it was SO tasty!! Highly recommend!”

“They’re so nice in this place. I was having a rough day and the kindness both from customers and staff was uplifting. The food and coffee are both yummy as well.”

“Staff and atmosphere were pleasant. We thoroughly enjoyed the seafood chowder and crispy chicken sandwich with fries. We would come again”

“Unbelievable experience from top to bottom. Pacing of the courses was great. Service was exceptional, felt casual and light but we always had everything we needed and the evening flowed very well, as a former server I recognize how hard it is to make this look easy!

Food was amazing and I loved how the meal evolved, from the snack courses that used a lot of ferments to the richer savoury courses to the amazing deserts the highlight of which was a tart heaped with shaved hazelnut everything was excellent. Perfect amount of food, I appreciate the suggestion to pack up the pizza course as I think if we ate the whole thing that might have pushed it into too much food territory but with only having half it was a perfect amount.

Wine pairings were great although personally I am not a fan of some of the more funky natural wines that were on offer but still enjoyed what we drank quite a bit as there was enough variation between glasses to keep it interesting.

Overall probably the best dining experience I've had in Canada and one of the best I've had in the world.

Special experience!”

“Staff, coffee and food. Great looking place to relax”

“Daniel Cook & The Radiators love this great place!”

“Great pizza, just wish I could order extra sauce a little dry. Tried to find it on the web order site seems it doesn’t exist, too bad!”
