  • 1. pilgrimme

    $$$$

    This small restaurant in the woods has garnered all sorts of accolades since it first opened in 2014. Here chef Jesse McCleery, who spent a winter in the kitchen at Noma in Copenhagen, focuses on locally sourced food and unusual ingredients presented in the most imaginative ways. This takes farm- and ocean-to-table to a whole new level. The nightly format is now a seven-course prix-fixe tasting menu (advise staff of any allergies at time of booking) and reservations can book up months in advance. Enjoy the sunset through the trees from the deck of the rustic house—if it gets chilly, use one of the cozy blankets to wrap up. In the backyard, chef Melanie Witt has set up the low key Charmer Pizza which is open Thursday to Sunday evenings.

  • 2. The Pointe

    $$$$

    With 180-degree views of the crashing surf, the Pointe is the top-notch Tofino dining experience. It's renowned for its refined west coast cuisine, which is superbly presented and excellently paired with options from the award-winning wine list—an impressive 11,000-bottle wine cellar is the latest jewel in this grande dame's crown. Ingredients from the water—including oysters, shrimp, salmon, and a variety of other seafood—and the land (whatever's in season, such as wild mushrooms and fresh herbs) are used in innovative but not too outlandish dishes. The service is meticulous. Insider tip: in winter months go for brunch instead of dinner to take in the breathtaking views of the Pacific from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the octagonal-shaped dining room. For something more casual, stop at the Inn's Driftwood Café for high-end snacks and small-plate dinners right on the beach.

  • 3. The Wolf in the Fog

    $$$$

    Chef Nick Nutting and his crew present a unique west-coast dining experience here that puts an inspired twist on freshly caught seafood and foraged local ingredients; think seaweed combed from the shore and wild forest mushrooms. The big platters of charred octopus and steamed mussels beg to be shared. As do the famed potato-crusted oysters. Start with one of the signature cocktails, like the legendary Cedar Sour, and after dinner try Hailey's Cream, with its fig-infused rye and condensed milk. The cedar-walled dining room is light, warm, and welcoming.
