Island Dining Guide
Heriot
Bay Inn aka the HBI
Hell ya. Lorraine Wright just bought this historical
hub and she's giving it all the right love. Lorraine's bringing in new music and
Duffy and Friends plays on Fridays in the pub. The food is generally good in the
pub and a bit more upscale in the restaurant. I generally order the Red Snapper
burger and I just can't get away from it - I usually add the cranberry mayo to
all my goodies there. I just started working in the dining room at the HBI and
the current dining room is going to be turned into a lounge and the dining room
will be moved to the next room over. This place is going to be quite the score
for us here on Quadra.

April
Point Resort
Sweet location and the restaurant has top-notch food. There's
a sushi bar and last time I was there Noelle was serving us, and she sang us a
song and then another server starting playing on the piano. It's posh restaurant,
Quadra-style.

Café
Aroma
This café has a great location on the route from Campbell
River ferry to the Cortez ferry. There's access to the internet, albeit expensive.
The shop has popular Eggs Benny on Sundays and Peter and Helene's Quadra-roasted
coffee beans.

Lovin'
Oven II
Oh my. Jim and Paul make killer breads that contaminate the rest
of the food with pure happiness. There's a cranberry orange bread that they use
to make fancy-dancy and yet oddly simple French toast. Let me just dab the saliva
off the side of my mouth and get started on the pizza. Bakery-level pizza crusts
with pizza staples and some unique toppings. My pizza of choice, oh goodness,
I put dried cranberries, garlic, onions, olives and walnuts. It will change pizzas
for you forever.

The
Landing Pub
You can walk there in about 2 minutes and 34 seconds from
the Campbell River ferry on the Quadra side, obviously. I quite enjoyed the calamari
but it's generally a place I encourage people to frequent who like creamy foods.
The Q-Cove spicy chicken pizza is quite delish.

Tsa-Kwa-Luten Lodge
I had quite the
cranberry-stuffed chicken here and witnessed some very happy salmon and cashew
stir-fry consumption. It's closed in the winter except for private functions.
