The Pointe Restaurant

The Pointe Restaurant at the Wickaninnish is one of those rare places that lingers long after you have left. We visited in November, and months later we’re still talking about our experience, hence this long overdue review. Our service and our server were immaculate. Attentive without being intrusive, polished yet warm, the interactions were thoughtful and effortless. Timing, recommendations, and overall care were handled seamlessly, allowing the experience to unfold at a relaxed pace. The setting is spectacular, with sweeping ocean views. This is service done right, elevating an already exceptional setting and Hotel. A memorable dining experience and absolutely worth the visit.

The Pointe is a worthy stop during your trip to Tofino. The food was incredible, service was perfect and the view of the waves from the restaurant is like no other in Tofino. We visited for brunch in December 2025 and could see the massive waves hitting the rocks. I ordered the lamb shakshuka and I would recommend sharing because it’s very filling and hearty and shared the fried chicken sandwich which was bursting with flavour.

The view is absolutely insane, and the atmosphere is amazing too! The staff are very friendly, and the prices are reasonable. The chicken sandwich with kimchi was so delicious — I still remember that meal! 😋 However, the burger wasn’t great — the patty was quite burnt. Overall, you have to visit this place for the view alone — it’s totally worth it! 🌅

Been there many times. First time I had to deduct one point for food, as the main course "goose" was aöready hard to cut, let alone to eat. The second version that came after my complaint was only slightly better. However all other courses were great and the service really enjoyable. And the setting is just awesome.

Took my wife and two other couples to the Pointe restaurant after we had an amazing experience the previous year. Everyone was blown away by the food, service and atmosphere. A must dine while you are in Tofino!

Superb restaurant. Tasting menu is phenomenal from start to finish. Great selection of local ingredients for each step. Combination of flavours and textures is delicious. Wine pairing is carefully selected and blends nicely with every dish. Beautiful setting for a lovely celebration. Astonishing views and the service was over the top. We’ve never treated so well, with attention to every detail. Special attention to food intolerances without compromising the quality of the tasting experience.

This is a 5 star restaurant, from the gorgeous entrance, warm welcome, attentive service and sommelier. Their menu matches any big city upscale restaurant, however… I found the food so much fresher! Almost all local ingredients used, so delicious!!!

We eloped in Tofino and decided to treat ourselves to a meal at The Pointe… and then went back a few more times because, well, how could we not? From the breathtaking views to the kind, welcoming staff, everything about this place feels special. The scallop ceviche was perfection, and this apple dessert? Life-changing! Honestly, whether it’s breakfast or dinner, every meal was pure joy. The Pointe doesn’t just serve food — it serves moments you’ll remember forever.

A sight for sore eyes I haven't had smoked fish this good since we were in New York. This smoked salmon platter from @thepointetofino was amazing. There were three different types of smoked salmon on the plate, crackers, cream cheese, and fresh alliums. It was super interesting to play with the different components and textures on the plate. And the whipped cream cheese was so addicting, we nearly licked it off the plate! All the other dishes that we tried that night was also stunning, but I find myself craving for this smoked fish platter the most. Definitely make a reservation at @wickinnbc if you're looking for a beautiful and unique dining experience. The Pointe Restaurant | 500 Osprey Ln, Tofino, BC

Came to check out the gorgeous Wickaninnish Inn & their gorgeous restaurant, the Pointe for Happy Hour. We sat in the bar to enjoy the insane water view and their prime location in Tofino on Chesterman Beach. The cocktail menu, beer & wine selection are vast. We enjoyed delicious cocktails, starting with the wonderful "Peats Day Off" a luxurious fab riff on a whiskey sour and a glass of bubbly with their famous spiced nuts. Service was top notch. Btw the dinner menu sounds amazing & next time we will make a dinner Rez for sure.

Excellent, attentive service and gorgeous view of the surf. Food was excellent as well.

This is truly a fine dining restaurant with many flavors and excellent service. Cozy atmosphere looking out at the ocean. Fairly expensive. But well worth it for a memorable meal.

We stayed at the Wickaninnish Inn for my bday last week and ate at The Pointe 2 nights including on my actually bday. My bf had been before and really enjoyed the food. The food is very good and servers are very professional. It is on the pricey side but to be expected as the Wickaninnish Inn isn't exactly cheap either. Great views from the restaurant if you're seated next to the windows. Perfect venue to celebrate a special occasion.

You have to give this place an extra star for the view alone. Perched on the beachside, the restaurant provides amazing views of the crashing waves as you dine. It is the perfect place to be when it is wet and drizzling out, as you can really appreciate the storm without getting wet. We came by for brunch and luckily they could accommodate us even though we were not staying there. Just stop by the security booth and they will call in to check before letting you in. More people trickled in after us but there was plenty of space between tables and everyone had a good table for the view. We had the Smoked Salmon Rosti and the Braised Lamb Cavatelli. Both were delicious but the Rosti was the winner as we liked the use of the potato rosti as the base. A little pricey but definitely a great way to treat yourself. Great service and such friendly staff!

Unfortunately we were not able to return here after having a great experience about twenty years ago. Left a message requesting a reservations several days in advanced, asked for a call back to confirm, but they did not do so. When we called again the day before there were no reservations available.

The Pointe does not disappointe! We enjoyed two dinners in a row over a lovely weekend and EVERYTHING was amazing. Obviously the view is like nowhere else, but that's far from what solely defines this restaurant. The serving staff was polite, chatty if you want or invisible if you just want to watch the sunset with an amazing cocktail or glass of whatever. The food was well sourced, beautifully plated, and offered with a lovely description and little pretentiousness. Everyone I chatted with from the hosts, to the servers, to the sommelier, and the chefs were super pleasant and I felt very taken care of during my two night dinner stint at The Pointe. Ps. The cellar downstairs is INSANE and is totally out of a James Bond film

Forgot our appetizer, waiter was very dismissive. Main course was lovely as was dessert.

Yum! Food was really delicious. The truffle scrambled eggs is where it's at! They were cooked perfectly. The fish and chips were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The juice of the day was super fresh. The view is killer. Service was on point. The beach below is gorgeous and dog friendly. I highly recommend this place. Yum!

Had a delicious brunch here, everything beat my expectation, was definitely pricey but was a high end, class experience. Loved the food, had flavour, presentation was beautiful and staff was kind and informative. Would definitely recommend going here if you have the opportunity. The space is beautiful and outlooks the sea with large windows, breathtaking.

Many years ago (25 ish?) I made a quick trip to Tofino and stopped in at Wickinanish Inn for brunch. I was blown away by the perfection of the place (from beautifully carved cedar doors to the spectacular dinning room) and rember the great care that was taken in all aspects of the food and its presentation. I was astonished on a recent visit that the place was exactly as perfect as I rembered it. We stopped in on a cold rainy day and had very yummy seafood chowder with sable fish and spotted prawns, perfect again.

I could eat the view, but once your breath returns, and you realize that that really is Mt. Fuji in the distance, you'll notice the restaurant is all heavy beams and ceiling to floor glass anchored by a massive copper fireplace in the middle of the round room. There is a long bar with high tops to look over the tops of heads at the astonishing view. If Jay Gatsby wanted to open an upscale seaside exclusive restaurant this would be the model. The place is rustic subdued understated elegance on steroids. The Vibe: Who goes there? The rich, richer, richest and a few less fortunate sons. I expected to remain just a nose pressed against the window like a pound puppy but I booked a nappy hour table. The Staff: Falling over each other being helpful. Thomas Keller grade top professionals used to working the swells while they watch the swells roll into the beach below. The Bar Program: As good as any top New York drink depot. A Dark and Stormy Night was perfect for a dark and stormy day or better for a Donald and Stormy stay at the attached Inn. There are pages of signature cocktails and a wine list that equals War and Peace in length and is a better read. It is so big it has a two page Table of Contents which should make any malcontent content. One sip of a Honeysucculent Sour with Irish Mist, Peach Brandy, Lemon Juice, Simple Syrup and Egg White made me stop being contentious. Cocktails are offered based on the preferred alcohol base which makes it easier for base alcoholics. The Food: Is it appropriate to use the words "orgy and eating" in the same sentence? Yes, there is a tasting menu which looked daunting so I ordered ala carte which was more food than on the set menu. The Amuse Bouche truly amused my bouche. Pureed Edamame, Popped Quinoa, Puffed Rice Crisp with an IV drip of Scallion Oil. This was the perfect party dip...if you're having Gates, Buffet, Zuckerberg and Cuban over for cocktails and nibbles. The Brined Grilled Oysters with Kohlrabi Kraut, Raw Cheddar Sabayon, Toasted Rye Crumb, Grilled Scallion Oil showcased Marina Top Drawer Oysters with a full kit. (Scallion Mignonette, grated Horseradish, and Lemon). I would've been happy with some Top Drawers, sea water and Oyster liquor or any liquor for that matter. Marina's Tops downed in a hurry leaving only her drawers. It was as if Swan Oyster Depot hooked up with Acme Oyster House. Everyone got lucky. The Smoked Sturgeon came in a fetal curl nestled on Pumpkin Cream, Dill, Brunoise Poached Apple, with a mini Bagel and Fried Onion Rings. This dish was a whole bag of tricks, tastes, and textures. Add on a dollop of Sturgeon Cavier and be all the baller you can be. The Truffled Stuffed Chicken Breast with Roasted Onion, Leeks, a meadow of Mushrooms, and Stuffing (coins of the best thing about Thanksgiving besides not sitting next to your weirdo cousin) all buried in Veloute (Chicken Cream Sauce that did not drool out of a Campbell's can.) I'm often chicken to order the chicken (unless it's fried which makes me genuflect at the mere mention of that argument for God's existence.) But this chicken was cluckin' at me and not with me so I took a chance. It channeled Chicken Kiev, Cordon Bleu, Involtini, and made me glad I didn't chicken out. The Sable Fish was smoked and seared and I feared just a Cod Brandade but no, they were separate components, along with Celeriac Puree, Micro Potato Chips, Hemlock and Cynamooka Berry Sauce. This was created from the local bounty of Nature and looked like the box of a Paint-By-Number set. The fitting dessert for such a feast? Feast your eyes. There's a list as long as a Seal Flipper. I had a Bourbon Pecan Tart with a Pecan Sable (cookie) and house made Vanilla Ice Cream. Brilliant. A laundry list of Canadian Cheese to please is also available at your whim, all with house baked Breads, Crackers, a fancy Trail Mix, Honeycomb, an Apple Fan, and Berry Jelly. I had to have the Avonlea Cheddar which was rare and raw. A Fromage Cru slightly P. U. a bit grainy with a definite cheesy finish. Don't we all know someone who fits that description? The Ashley Goat was as funky as a gym sock and twice as tasty. "What are those little craters and what makes this so devilishly good?" I asked the server. "The Ash Holes that made it." Don't we all know someone who fits that description? When you can barely breathe, out comes the Chocolate Truffles, Cassis Jellies and the check which tops your breathing or gets it going quicker. The Pointe gets the point. So, go ahead, get to The Pointe.

Beautiful restaurant and outstanding food! We enjoyed every minute and had superb service! Very elegant and delicious! I would highly recommend spending a day here!!

Incredible experience from beginning to end. The view alone is worth 5 stars! But the meal was great to match! Came for brunch and the freshly squeezed orange juice was perfect! The house sausage is amazing and they have the best bacon and rosti. Toast and eggs done perfectly and made chocolate chip pancakes for the kids. But again, did I mention the view? Breathtaking! Note, if you don't stay at the hotel, you have to drive up to the gate ambassador and let them know you are coming to dine. They will check with the restaurant for space before letting you in. You cannot call in advance to book if you're not a hotel guest!

Surprised at all the 5 out of 5 reviews on here. Maybe I ordered the wrong things. I had the Westcoast Clam Chowder, which I thought was a little watery and bland. Amount of clams and ingredients were good though, just bland. I also had the Fish and Chips, which again was bland. I usually don't like overly salty dishes, but both of these were too plain. For the prices The Pointe charges, I expected much more. ($17 for chowder) Coffee was bold and strong. The service was good and of course the view was gorgeous. I would say these two things saved it for me.

We had an amazing vegan dinner here. Fried tofu (sounds like it could be boring but it is out of this world !) Green salads and a vegan coconut creme brulee style tart for dessert (also amazing !). We'd heard The Pointe is good but this meal was excellent ! Hopefully they ad even more vegan options in the future. We'll be back :)

The Pointe restaurant is located in Wickaninnisb Inn. The restaurant is surrounded by majestic windows overlooking the ocean. Inside, the decor is upscale rustic elegance. The servers are attentive, knowledgeable and experienced about the wines as well as the dishes. The dishes are pricier, but the ingredients they use are fresh coastal seafood, free range meats and organic produce. The table starts with an amuse bouche followed by a small bread basket. The chilled seafood was presented beautifully in a cavier tin. Inside was a mix of dungeness crab, shrimp, panna cotta, with a dollap of caviar on top. This was an interesting taste because the panna cotta was suppose to be a savory dish, but it leaned to the sweet side. The braised octopus appetizer with puffed quinoa waa tender. The poached pheasant with truffle, leek, and wild mushroom was delicious, but the presentation for me was a bit off. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I was looking for a dish that resembled some sort of poultry. The duck breast with poached foie gras however was perfection. The petit fours dessert with house made chocolates and small pastries were decadent. The baker's dozen which was small dipping dessert donuts was crispy and doughy soft. This restaurant can even make donuts upscale.

La cena fue horrible. Comí pato y estaba demasiado salado. Informé al camarero y me dijo que no había nada que hacer. El servicio no es bueno y la comida tampoco.

The best breakfast experience I have had. The staff from the minute you walk in the door were professional and accommodating in every way. I ordered the smoked salmon eggs benny on a rosti....with a side of seared foie gras(cause how could I resist? Jennifer was our server she was fantastic and knowledgeable. Cocktails were tasty as well. The view was well Tofinos finest but I was there for the food.

Spectacular view, wonderful food- this place has it all. We came here for brunch on a wednesday morning and was fortunate enough to be seated right by the window, close to the surf so we could watch the surfers. I had the smoked salmon eggs benedict with a small rosti potato (basically an extremely well made and crispy hash brown), which was wonderful. The boyfriend had the smoked salmon rosti, which was kind of like a variation of eggs benedict with rosti instead of an english muffin, on a bed of spinach and topped with tons of smoked salmon. Apparently this is a crowd favorite and the boyfriend loved it. Overall, you really cant beat the views and the food is wonderful as well. Definitely make sure you stop by this place! I can imagine this being an amazing dinner spot.

I had the tasting menu with wine pairing and had a great experience here. Perhaps the best meal I've had in BC since arriving here so far. Every dish was great, the wine was great, the pre-dinner cocktail was great, the view was great, and or server was great. Everything was great but probably my favorite thing was the black oyster. I wish I'd taken a photo of the menu.

My rating is solely based on customer service - not on the food. We came for brunch. I read on the website that brunch was based on walk-ins, so we didn't make any reservations. When we crossed the gate at the entrance of the hotel, the guard told us the restaurant was "fully committed" for hours and wouldn't be able to take us in. They sent us to the cafe instead. We decided to check at the restaurant anyway, and they told us the wait would be 20-25mins and that we should wait at the cafe, where they would call the barista to let us know when our table would be ready. When we got to the cafe and told the barista we were waiting for a table at the Pointe, they told us "let me call the restaurant to verify"...did they think we were lying? Then, the barista told us "it will be a 45-50mins wait". Somehow, from the time it took us to walk from the restaurant to the cafe, 25 mins were added to the wait! At the cafe, I ordered some sparkling water. The guy behind the bar told the cashier "there's a bottle of 350ml and one for 500ml". The cashier told the guy "give me the 500ml" - she decided for me what size I should get. I then told her I prefer the 350ml. She gave me a weird look. Everyone around us has been treated with such courtesy - Im wondering if they have a problem with the fact that we are a family of 5 (with young kids) or with the fact that we are non-white. From the moment we stepped into the property it seems like they have been trying to discourage us from staying here. When we finally got our table, there were only 5 other people there (that is, just 2 tables were occupied). The food is exceptionAl and deserves a 5-star rating. I just wished we were treated with more courtesy.

Just look at the views from the window, you will realize how unique this place is. Service and Food are amazing!

We had a few incredible experiences at The Pointe Restaurant. We had the pleasure of joining for both dinner and breakfast and was blown away by the incredible food here. The food is so good and the service is amazing. I highly recommend checking this place out for any meal. I can't wait to come back here again next time we're in town.

The view from this place is amazing. Definitely make a reservation and note that the tables closest to the windows are preferentially offered to guests staying at the hotel. Pictured: foie gras, sablefish and plum cake. One of the best meals I've had this year. My friend had the tasting menu and the presentation was beautiful. He enjoyed the meal as well. Wine list was extensive and the blackberry G&T was amazing. Service was impeccable. GO ASAP.

Expensive but the food and the view especially for brunch or breakfast cannot be beaten. Great service. Favourites are the Pointe Breakfast as well as any season sweet option (french toast, pancakes etc)!

If you aren't a guest of the hotel, don't bother. The only thing appealing in this restaurant is the view, and if you aren't staying at the hotel, they will sit you in the back. I booked a reservation about 6 weeks in advance. I had let the lady making the reservation know that it was a special occasion, and I took an earlier seating so that I could get a Window seat. She said all the later evening sittings by the window were booked, so the only way we could be accommodated was if we went early. Fair enough I thought We showed up to a basically empty restaurant when we arrived, which was surprising given the production that the lady made about how fully booked they were...The went to seat us basically in a booth, with the fire place completely blocking our view. I said their must be a mistake, because I made a reservation 6 weeks in advance to ensure a Window seat...I was told that Window seats are only for guests of the hotel. I inquired if there was no one sitting in one of the 4 open tables, if we could sit in one, and they decline...I was trying to not make a production, again, as this was supposed to be a very special night. We sat for 2 hrs, and tried to make the best of it, and no one sat at the empty window tables. They would rather have tables empty, then give them to people that weren't staying at the hotel. Not only did they render my advance booking pointless, as the restaurant was basically empty, they ensured I will never eat there again, and let everyone know how they treat people that don't stay there

The view is spectacular, the prices are incredibly high, and the meal was one of the worst I have ever had. The steak was tough and over cooked even though it looked medium rare in the middle. The mashed potatoes were runny and small portion and the Caesar salad was incredibly off point. Mostly kale. It's like the restaurant didn't know what a Caesar salad was. We loved the resort and the personnel, but the food was terrible.

Divine dining experience. The food was outstanding. We savored the Glazed Scallops, Sable Fish, grape gelato, strawberry ice cream, and cappuccinos. Amazing wine list. Our Serbian server was patient, knowledgeable about the menu, and very kind. The views of the rocks, waves, and water are mesmerizing. Thanks for a memorable meal.

Great view. Can't beat it. But breakfast, although tasty, didn't blow me away to warranty the view-like prices. Had the signature Pointe breakfast - scrambled eggs, country toast and sausage. Expected a feast, but it was just a $17 small portion of eggs and sides. Great for drinks and the view.

Wow, sick food. My wife and I went to the Pointe last week and we were IMPRESSED. The food and atmosphere were almost silly they were so beautiful. The cocktails are customized and special. The allies are amazing and the mains are even better. If you don't know what to order...just order the 6oz tenderloin with scallops. $70 and worth every single penny. Service was wonderful. We went home very happy. The only reason this isn't 5 stars is the prices. $380 is a hefty bill to pay for dinner for two without wine....but I still feel it was worth it.

One of my absolutely favorite restaurants. Besides the amazing view on the ocean and beautiful wooden style decor the food is delicious! One of my all time favorite entrees and deserts I had here. Slow cooked Tofino halibut and Peach melba. Highly recommend!!

Staying at the resort, we booked my birthday dinner in this restaurant which gets high marks throughout Canada. The experience starts with a 180 degree view of the Pacific Ocean. Since it is sunlight here in the summer until 9:30 pm, you will have a gorgeous view for dinner! Our table was against the window, but there is not a bad table in the restaurant. The chef offered a 5-course tasting menu with optional wine pairing, or you could order ala cart from the menu. Many, if not all, of their offerings are sourced locally. We chose to order off the menu. We were sent a nice complementary pallet cleanser, smoked sturgeon. This was a very lovely bite. We spilt the seafood bisque - YUMMY. The bisque is not too heavy, which most bisques are. A few pieces of shrimp add a great texture and flavor. My main entree was the Tofino salmon. It is prepared medium rare, but I did not feel it was medium rare. It was quite perfect. The fish is served skin side up. I usually do not eat skin, but it looked so good - crispy and salty and the perfect accompaniment to the fish. The dish is served with locally sourced vegetables and a potato purée. My husband enjoyed the halibut, which was served with lemon gnocchi and locally sourced veggies. He said this was the best halibut he has ever had. I tried a bite, and it was incredible! Too full for dessert, the house brought a nice lemon chocolate torte bite. The service and the food at The Pointe is 5 star. And the view?! Can I rate it 100 stars?!?!

Awesome location and great food! This is definitely a place worth stopping by on your trip to Tofino. The location of this restaurant is spectacular and has a great view of the ocean and Chesterman Beach. Although the food is on the higher side, the quality and flavor as well as service is justified. We arrived during your brunch time and although on a long weekend, it was relatively quiet although they do not have a very large dining area. Perhaps calling ahead just in case would be a good idea, we did as we had a party of 10. The food was also very well prepared and presented. Our party tried their wagyu beef skillet, pork belly buns and fish and chips but the group favorite by far was the scallops. The maple bacon flavor was well done and cooked nicely. It was so good that our family had to order another helping. All in all, it was unexpected but we were all very impressed.

The views are amazing - worth coming to sit amongst the waves crashing right outside the window. We went for breakfast, and the food was delicious. Service here was on par with a 5-star high end restaurant. Cost was a bit expensive for the size of meal (we weren't full after), but you're really paying for the fresh ingredients in the meal, the view and service. Go for the fresh juice if they have it - it was delicious! Lots of gluten free options too, which is a huge plus for me!

We went to the pointe for our final dinner before leaving Tofino. Amazing food!! And view! Service was great too. A bit on the pricier side but food was well worth it.

I came here entirely for the view. However it was dinner time and I could barely see the ocean. It's facing the ocean so you get to see waves crashing on the rock. Quite the view if you're there when it is still light out. Their drink menu was good. I had a smokey sour which was the best whiskey sour I've ever had. At $16 for a drink it was very overpriced but delicious. The food menu is quite limited and again, very expensive. I had the duck which was delicious. The foie gras was the best foie gras I've had. Their beef was two small pieces and very bland. Definitely not worth it for $60 a plate. The service was good but I felt that everyone there tried too hard. We had 3 different people check in on us when we were just having bread in the start. Overall it's a nice place for a special occasion. The drinks and the view is good but not a place I'd revisit for dinner.

Location,location,location! It is a good thing that they have location because there is no reason to eat there otherwise. From the very inadequately experienced waiter to the 3 attempts to get the cocktail order correct, to finally accepting $22.00 martinis with incorrect ingredients , to the limited menu , to overpriced meals. We took guests there expecting a world class experience and came away underwhelmed and positive in our resolve to never return or recommend.

Went there for brunch, mainly for the beautiful setting! The restaurant is definitely breathtaking, with a panoramic view of the ocean, a fireplace and manages to keep an intimate setting for couples despite its size. There is a separate vegan/vegetarian brunch menu, which is definitely a plus, and the flavours are infused with some Pacific flavours. Unfortunately, the actual flavour of the dishes we ordered, were nothing remarkable. The food was good, but there are better brunch places out there for sure. Would recommend for the experience, and will be coming back, hopefully for dinner and try to catch a sunset!

The Pointe was our favorite restaurant that we hit in this area. We came back later during our stay and had a few pints in the lounge and made a meal out of a cheese plate and bread basket. First thing you're going to notice at the Pointe is the view. It is set as far out on the rocks as the Wick goes. It is a huge, round room with a beautiful copper fireplace in the middle and ridiculous panoramic views from every seat in the house. The menu was interesting. We knew that we would have as much seafood as we could handle on this trip and they had some cool innovations and preparations that we really liked. We split a few appetizers and each had an entree. That turned out to be the right amount of food for us. Shrimp and Grits-spot prawns and popcorn Spicy Pacific Octopus-Chili Glaze, Sesame, Seaweed Salad, Crisp Sushi Seared Local Cod-Dungeness Crab, Tomato, Fennel, Saffron Arugula, Orange & Pinenut Crumble Tofino Salmon Tandoori-Apricot, Burnt Eggplant Puree, Red Lentil Crisp Scallion & Cilantro The Octopus had a nice kick. Kris loved the Lingcod and the crabmeat was excellent with it. I enjoyed the preparation of the salmon and it was a nice filet that came out perfectly medium rare. We finished with their Maple bacon stick dessert. This was unlike anything that we had ever seen before. You basically took the stick and rolled it in the maple syrup and then dipped it in the bacon ice. It was fantastic.

The breakfast and view here was pretty top notch. I got the pointe breakfast, which was delicious. We also had the pancakes with brownie in them and the French toast. All delicious. I will definitely be coming back next time in Tofino.

Best place to eat in Tofino! We stayed at the Wickaninnish Inn and the Pointe Restaurant is right on site. It has beautiful views of the beach and ocean. The service is excellent and the attention to detail is awesome. The food overall is delicious. We tried the tasting menu with the wine pairing one night but actually preferred the a la carte. My favorite dish over all were the scallops. My favorite dessert was the sunchoke & pear velouté - blue cheese semifreddo and walnut toffee from the tasting menu and it was absolutely divine. I still dream about it. We ate there for all of our brunches and everything we ate was awesome to a traditional farmer's breakfast, fisherman's breakfast, dungeness crab benedict, and ancient grain porridge. They try their best to accommodate me being gluten free and I appreciate their effort even though it's not quite the same. We also did room service and the menu is this restaurant. They asked us if we were celebrating anything and my boyfriend mentioned my birthday in passing without thinking or expecting anything. They came out with chocolates and a candle. It added for a special birthday weekend getaway for sure. We will be back and have already told all of our friends!

The brunch here is amazing! Had the French toast and an iced latte - delicious food, amazing view and comparable prices to the rest of Tofino but this is a much better value for money! Our waitress, Kelli, was so sweet and engaging and clearly passionate about the food she served. 10/10 would recommend Kelli as a waitress and the French toast, too!

An altogether absolutely amazing experience! Everything from the food to the cocktails and desserts far exceeded our expectations, independent of the stunning views! We had the pre-fixe, which we absolutely loved and plenty of drinks to go with every course. This restaurant blew me away and I'm glad we came here instead of our original choice.

One of my favorite restaurants anywhere. This is one of the rare places where the food is as beautiful as the setting. It's simply a memorable place that is hard to beat. Highlights from this visit included a corn soup with saffron and a roasted corn salsa, and a halibut with chickpeas, apricots and chantrelles with a scallion jus. Every dish from the amuse-bouche to the dessert was a work of art. Service was at just the right level of visibility, with perfect timing. It's a splurge, but you won't regret it.

I saw this Inn and restaurant on the show "1000 places to see before you die." and decided we had to visit. We stayed at the inn for four nights and ate breakfast here 3 days and dinner. The dinner was outstanding, the breakfasts were definitely better than average. For the most part, the portions here are not large, so if you have a big appetite, you may be disappointed. I liked that they made many things in house - even the butter served with dinner. The extra attention to detail really shows. For breakfast over 3 days we had: 1. mushroom bacon brie omelet - full of shitaki and the more exotic mushrooms. Best mushroom omelet - EVER. It came with potatoes which were a bit rich. 2. Brioche french bread, which was a bit dry. My daughter was disappointed with it. 3. The Pointe Breakfast, with toast made from homeade bread and raspberry jelly, eggs, sausage (made inhouse and tasted a bit like a bratwurst ) OR bacon on another day. Ok - scrambled egg portions seemed kind of skimpy. 4. Crab Eggs Benedict - rich and full of crab and avocado. Delicious hollandaise. 5. Standard Eggs Benedict - could've used more Hollandaise and the ham tasted porky to me. Each day they had house blended juices - some combination of apple, peach, berry, mango juice - a relative bargain at $4.25 for a glass. At dinner: Drinks: Mai Tai - strong & Missionaries downfall - very peachy and might be my new favorite drink (Didn't taste like it had much alcohol in it.) 1. Appetizer: Crab Pierogie with good, sweet, tangy mustard - wonderful 2. Amuse Buche: Quail fritter - a hint of India - very good 3. Seared Halibut and Shellfish sausage with a bunch of orange froth. My daughter thought the sausage was too salty and had too much tarragon. I thought sausage was supposed to be salty. She also thought there was too much orange in this dish. 4. Short rib and spotted prawns. The meat melted in my mouth and the prawns were delicious. 5. They served a variety of breads made inhouse. I can't say I was wowed by the bread here. 6. Dessert was a disappointment: Rasberry sorbet - needed more sugar. The black sesame crunch was left on the plate. My daughter thought it was a weird combination. I'm not a fan of sesame anyway. Fortunately, we also got a tiny nibble of dark chocolate with chile, so we ended the meal on a good note. We ate all meals early, so were fortunate enough to get a table right by the window, which overlooks Chesterman Beach. It is one of the loveliest beaches I've seen. The service was warm and friendly and sometimes even funny, not at all stuffy like you might think given the prices. They also have a coffee lounge in another building that served baked goods, including a pricey but very buttery flakey croissant and the best latte I ever had - including cute latte art. This is definitely one of the best (and most expensive) restaurants I've ever eaten at. I hope to come back here before I die.

What's not to like about this place. Friendly staff, great food, good wine list and spirits, they were extra friendly to my 4 yr old, and the view......f%#k me that view!! I have 4 stars because I felt the desserts were lacking in creativity and flavor given the talent of the kitchen staff and what we experienced with our meal. We will be back next year!

This is, obviously, a special occasion place. Great view, great space. Food was mostly right on and the mains in particular were spot on - fish cooked perfectly, spiced perfectly. Our server was fantastic and even gave us a great hiking trail tip. Desert menu was just ok and our pick, raspberry panna cotta, was just ok (it really was not a panna cotta). Wine list is awesome. Have a celebration here!
