Should you end up in the Pacific Rim National Park way out on western
Vancouver Island and don't seek haute cuisine or high prices there are many
other options.
We had lunch in Tofino at SHELTER on our first day and Will's SHRIMP
SANDWICH was perfect and my CORTEZ ISLAND MUSSELS with CHORIZO in White Wine
Cream
Sauce and Garlic Bread were simple out of this world.
The next day as we headed back to civilization we stopped in Ucluelet at
the south end of the road (Tofino is at the very north end of the peninsula) at
the FLOAT HOUSE and had another super
lunch. Sam wanted only the grilled chicken with fried and these were huge
steak style fries that crunched throughout. I have never had such huge had cut
fries that are not mushy in the middle.
Will and I split the CRABCAKE SANDWICH and it was mighty fine (even us
spoiled folks from DC would love it) and the PULLED PORK BBQ SANDWICH made with
Root beer!!
This place is hard to find, so google it up before you ,and dress warmly,
because if you want to sit outside on the water it can be chilly, though
scenic.
Next stop, VICTORIA.
