Araxi Restaurant & Bar
Posted by Stephanie Nov 2011
In a recent visit to Araxi's we had a wonderful meal but a few things were exceptional.
Their Pemberton Squash Soup was smooth, delicate flavours that made for a superb start to our meal. Their Quebec Foie Gras Parfait is just amazing. Served with their brioche this rich flavoured dish is a must have at Araxi's. The Beef Tenderloin Steak as perfectly cooked. For dessert their Okanagan Poached Pears with Sour Cream Ice Cream and a Vanilla Mascarpone Cheesecake is a must. Their wine pairing choices were great and if you like dessert wines, the Buller Fine Old Muscat (Australia) is perfect alone with the Poached Pears.
If you are looking for a place to eat that will awaken all your senses...this is the place to go.
Cactus Club Cafe - Bentall 5

This centrally located restaurant is a happening place! Very busy, full of life and conversation. For a casual dining place, in downtown Vancouver, it has great food and good value.
Middle Beach Lodge
Posted by Stephanie Moul Nov 2011
We have stayed here a few times and while it has some wonderful features, it seems to be just a little tired and needs some TLC. The Lodge at the Beach has smaller rooms but very adequate. The huge lounge on the main floor is wonderfully comfortable and relaxing to just lounge, to read, or to enjoy their fresh made cookies with tea in the late afternoon!
The Lodge at the Headlands has nice cabins and if you can get one with a tub on the deck it is wonderful to sit in the hot tub reading a book and listening to the sound sound of the ocean exhaling upon the shore and the rocks.
The staff have always been wonderful when we have been there. They don't serve dinner every night but when they do it is not bad. Not the best but not bad.
Long Beach Lodge Resort

This place is my husband's favourite place to stay in Tofino. We love the huge lounge area when you can sit and read a book, sip wine on a specialty coffee and then if you need to eat you can just order and stay where you are to enjoy. It is very relaxed and casual and is a warm inviting place to stay.
We have stayed in one of the Rainforest Cottages with family members and it was great. We have also had a wonderful oceanview room.
Storm season or summer, spring or fall, this is a great place to getaway to.
