Great restaurants on Vancouver Island
 

Any suggestions for great restaurants on Vancouver Island.
We will be in Sooke, Victoria, Shwanigan Lake, Ucluelet & Tofino.
ps we will also be on Orcas Island.

Thanks!

In Victoria consider, Camille's, Cafe Brio, Il Terrazzo, Blue Crab Bar & Grill, and L'ecole Brasserie

In Tofino, think about the Point Restaurant at the Wickaninish Inn and a little more casual, the Rain Forest Cafe,

Near Shawnigan Lake think about Steeples.

In Sooke, consider Sooke Harbour House.

Most require reservations especially on weekends.

Happy Dining,

Binners

Binners,
Thanks for all the recommendations!!

We have already made reservations for Steeples and Sooke Harbour House....happy that you suggested both of them!!

We live in Sooke and agree with the suggestion about Sooke Harbour House; also in the area we would strongly recommend Markus' Wharfside Restaurant. It's fine dining, a little different from Sooke Harbour House but equally good in our opinion.

A little further west, maybe about a 20-minute drive along West Coast Road, you might enjoy Point No Point - gorgeous ocean views and wonderful food.

My favorites, in no particular order:

Victoria: Cafe Brio, Brasserie L'Ecole

Tofino: Raincoast Cafe, SOBE

Orcas: Christina's, Inn at Ship Bay and for lunch, Olga Cafe.

Yeah!!
Thanks for all the great suggestions!!

Meesthara, Sooke looks wonderful...we are very excited about our stay in your area.
We are renting a suite at Eagle Cove.

I have commented negatively about the Wickaninnish Inn, and the dining room looms large as a reason.

Bailey, I think you'll love Sooke! We've driven past Eagle Cove numerous times; it's not all that far from Point No Point. You might want to have a look at Point No Point's website as well - they have lovely cabins as well as a great restaurant, although I see that you've already booked your accommodations.
If you have a chance, check out the Tugwell Creek Honey Farm. It's not far from where you're staying. They sell several kinds of honey as well as mead, a dessert wine made from honey. You can watch the bees at work from a safe vantage point too, if that interests you.

In Victoria:
Bengal Lounge @ The Empress great curry buffet
Sanuk: Asian Fusion @ Magnolia Hotel:excellent
Bon Rouge: newer french restaurant w/ fab decor and fine food
Moxie's good food moderate prices
Ferris' for well prepared seafood and oysters

near Shawnigan : The Aerie

SOBE in Tofino is an excellent choice as NWWanderer has pointed out. I don't understand why more people don't mention it in a discussion about Tofino.
