Good afternoon, pretty ponies! A couple of times a year, we like to go on a mini-getaway right here on Vancouver Island. Last week, with Valentine’s Day looming and canoodling on our minds, we decided to make the short trek down the Malahat to scenic Moon Water Lodge. Moon Water Lodge, a casual, chalet style […]

Casual, yet sophisticated dishes, an appealing appetizer menu, and a killer cocktail list served indoors in Glo’s sophisticated, modern dining room, or outdoors on their scenic patio looking over the Gorge Waterway. Great for business lunches, date nights, or hanging out with friends late into the evening. A few minutes north of downtown but well worth the trip. Highly recommended.

Ferris’s has many menu items revered by locals as classics. Comfort food like chicken penne soup, classic burgers and fries, and poutine sit alongside more sophisticated fare such as oysters, seafood pastas, reasonably priced cocktails, and locally crafted beers. With a charming patio in the back for al fresco summer dining and a cozy brick interior for the rainy season, it’s always a good time of year to head to Ferris’. And considering the quality and quantity of food provided, even a cheap chicken like Pete has to agree that Ferris’s downstairs is a bargain.

Canoe’s stunning patio is the ultimate spot to enjoy fine craft beer on a summer afternoon. On cooler days step inside and enjoy the stunning brick and timber architecture and live music on weekends.

Monty’s favourite lounge. Definitely a splurge, but worth it for the relaxed opulence of the British Raj theme and the popular curry buffet. Romantic and sophisticated, it’s an experience you won’t soon forget.
