One place we always visit if we are Gibsons for lunch. Unassuming from the outside (you go DOWN to the restaurant) it has a spectacular view of Gibsons Harbour and across to Keats Island, but the food is the draw. Hearty burgers but the seafood chowder is a stand-out!

The new restaurant at the Driftwood is called the Beachside Bar Kitchen and it is one of the few local places that specializes in seafood. It just opened up and so far the reviews are very postitive. Also is alongside the Sechelt beachwalk so lots to see while enjoying the food.

You can walk right by this place and not even see it. It is tucked into the lower floor of the pink house up the hill in Lower Gibsons. But the food makes it worth looking for. Some of the prettiest presentation and freshest sushi around, including the city. The place is small so the service is head-snapping fast. Its a must stop when in Gibsons.

Sharkey's is off the beaten path in Upper Roberts Creek, but the locals flock there for yummy , fresh fish and chips when it is open (they close in winter). It has a couple of picnic tables to sit at outside but it is more of a take-out place. The portions are huge so you could do two meals out of an order.

For a more upscale dining experience, its worth the drive to the Painted Boat Resort and the Lagoon Restaurant in Madeira Park. Ask for a table on the patio and you wont be disappointed. The view of the harbour is spectacular ! The food is a little pricy but worth it.

The restaurant at the West Coast Wilderness Lodge in Egmont at the entrance to Princess Louisa Inlet, is simply stunning. With its high timber-framed windows overlooking the ocean and its Westcoast inspired menu, it is a dining experience you won't soon forget. (can you say Squid Ink Risotto?) Reservations are a must and it closes for the winter in October.

Egmont is kind of the end of the road on the Lower Sunshine Coast,. The next stop is the ferry to Powell River at Earls Cove.
But there is lots to do in the area, the Skookumchuk Rapids, the Back Eddy Marina and Pub and the tiny village of Egmont are all places to see. And the trip itself to there is a pretty drive.
