For
food
, just about everyone in town clusters around the heaving tables of the
Common Loaf Bake Shop
behind the bank at 180 1st St (tel 725-3915), deservedly the most popular choice for coffee and snacks. In the evening the home-made dough is turned into pizzas instead of bread and rolls. In a similar vein is the
Alley Way Cafe
, also behind the bank at Campbell and 1st sts, a friendly locals type of place with newspapers to read and cheap, wholesome food where everything down to the mayonnaise is home-made. Coming into town on the main highway (which becomes Campbell St), the
Cafe Pamplona
in the Tofino Botanical Gardens is also a good spot for coffee and snacks. The
Crab Bar
, 601 Campbell St, near the corner of Gibson Street (tel 725-3733) is something of a local institution, selling little more than crab, seafood, beer, bread and some imaginative salads. One of the best views in town is available at the
Sea Shanty
, 300 Main St (tel 725-2902), a restaurant which offers
outdoor dining
overlooking the harbour and the chance of some tremendous sunsets on fine evenings. Best place for a
beer
and
dancing
is the pub downstairs at the
Maquinna Lodge
, 120 1st St, the place to be on Friday and Saturday nights. For a real treat, head out of town to
The Pointe Restaurant
at the
Wickaninnish Inn
(tel 725-3100
), which for most people's money is the area's best upmarket restaurant, on account of both its food and its views. Other useful information
