We were impressed. Had been reading about this place for quite a while, but on our various trips to Qualicum had never had a chance to stop in. We did the other day, and was very tasty. Terrific service, very friendly. One of us had a two egg breakfast, Huge portion. The other one had a salad and it was really really good. We will be back

What a great place!!! My husband and I just discovered it recently (our loss for not going there sooner). We highly recommend the haddock and fries. The staff are amazing, and the menu options are outstanding. Definitely will be back more often!

Little Airport, Big Heart Vancouver Island's Qualicum airport might be small and lack a control tower, but it packs a surprising punch. The on-site restaurant, accessed through the bar, serves up delicious food with impressive accommodation for dietary restrictions. While the meal was excellent, it was the service that truly elevated the experience. Elijah, our server, went above and beyond. Even after we'd finished eating and paid, and we chatted for a while, he came over and offered to refill our coffee, demonstrating a genuine desire to enhance our visit. This unexpected touch of hospitality is what earned this little airport restaurant a five-star rating.
