Old Country Market - Goats on Roof

Good For Lunch. We visited for lunch in late Oct.last year. It's popular and was busy, but we got a parking spot. The restaurant is at one end of the main store. You order and pay centrally and they deliver your food to the table. Service was very friendly and efficient. The food was good. There's lots to see and buy in the store, including a good selection of deli items. We recommend the Old Country Market for both a visit to the store and lunch.

Classic roadside attraction. Big servings of food. Nothing fancy, or friendly for different dietary requirements. Goats only there in warmer months. Don't expect to see any in winter. Lots of cool stuff in the grocery store and the other sections with gifts and homewares. Lots of discount food on items past their "best before" date. Pretty good deals if you can look past that.

Old Country Market is a delightful little shop with a lot of character. The grass-topped roof is definitely a unique feature! The staff is friendly and helpful. They have a good selection of local products and some fun gift items. It's a bit pricey, but the atmosphere and ambiance make it worth it. Even the area around this shop had ice-cream parlor, paintings shops and other stores were very attractive too.

My family had to stop here on our Vancouver Island adventure. Who doesn't. Definitely worth the stop for all. Whether you just want to see a very interesting shop with a peculiar assortment of things, but all of then things you can see someone buying, this is your place. From groceries to tiles to toys and more. The bakery looked awesome, though I held myself back from getting anything as I had fudge from a previous stop still in the car. :D

Such a magical place, the market has unique items and yummy food. No goats this time but it's fun to see them when out. Yummy donuts and ice cream and a few shops worth exploring. Super busy place and parking can be a bit of a pain.

Such a fun little area to discover! The goats on the roof and in the back were a bonus, but the market/store itself was filled with amazing finds for both groceries and miscellaneous items! We spent way longer than expected in the area because of all the things to see there! The tortilla soup was also delicious from their little cafeteria in the back!

This place is so cool! We have driven by so many times on the way to Tofino but never stopped to have a look. We were visiting Parksville and decided to check it out because my friends recommended it. I was not disappointed. I saw goats on the roof. Baby goats in the back. The store has a variety of good. Quite an eclectic mix of gifts and foods. Grill and coffee shop inside as well.

The quirkiest place we stopped at on Vancouver Island and a definite must see destination. The main market sold everything from food to clothing to home decor. The crazy thing is the goats on the roof (see photos).
