The Cook and Butcher

Very good food. Gluten free options salad was wonderful.

Met my aunt here - who is a local and apparently a regular 🤣 One of my last stops before my ferry back to Vancouver - so glad she shared this hidden gem! The view of Cowichan Bay alone, makes it worth a stop. The food and cocktails really blew me away and our server was very attentive! I ordered one of the ceasers (forget the name), with a tiger prawn and smoked salmon - soo yummy! They even added some sauerkraut for me. The miso salmon was the star, so many flavours packed into one dish… phenomenal. The salmon was also the freshest I think I’ve ever had We shared the chocolate torte and that was also great; My aunt has a gluten allergy and they were also very accommodating. No complaints. Will 100% be coming back in the future to try the rest of the menu.

Excellent quality food with friendly and efficient service. There were more gluten free options than I was expecting, which is always great!
