FOOD & DINING Vancouver Island is quickly becoming recognized in the “slow food” movement. Reconnect with your family and loved ones in an unpretentious atmosphere dedicated to bringing people together and serving good food. Enjoy fine coffee throughout Parksville Qualicum Beach, in cafes thick with the scent of fresh coffee and early morning baking. Stop in at a local coffee roaster, share a treat at one of our bakeries, or sit amongst locals at a cafe.
Many establishments in Parksville Qualicum Beach take pride in sourcing local meats, seafoods, vegetables, breads and fruit wherever possible. Find a gluten-free bakery, and some great vegan restaurants perfect for when you need that afternoon carrot-and-beet-juice refresher. Parksville Qualicum Beach also has a great number of ethnic food restaurants for those days when you’re craving some sushi, Tandoori prawns, Vietnamese spring rolls or Thai curry.
