I wanted to take a selfie before Donna choked to death. I got it! |
Fancy Dinner
The other day Donna and I did the 4 hour road trip to Ucluelet (pronounced You Clue Let). Ucluelet is a small surf town on the west coast of Victoria Island. It's population explodes during summer. It really reminded me of Encinitas, CA. We booked a hotel room and dinner at
Pluvio, a top 100 restaurant on
Canada's Top 100 List. It was a very unique experience and if you are in the area and have a budget for a fancy dinner you should go. Also it's in Canadian dollars so it is reasonable.
|
Everything about this place was about surfing. |
|
Francis enjoys the sun in our hotel room. |
|
They have 4 rooms behind the restaurant. |
|
The outside isn't fancy but the food inside is. |
|
We got the chef's tasting menu and got to sit at the Chef's Table on the edge of the kitchen. |
|
We got to watch the food being prepared. It was really fun. |
|
This is the Humdog. It's a fancy hot dog with squid instead of a hot dog. It was delicious. |
|
We had to get a cocktail. Mine was a smoked old fashioned |
|
The Tuna Tartar Wraps were amazing. Probably one of the best things I have eaten on this 2 year trip. |
|
House made bread. |
|
Delicious trout. |
|
I also added a side of scallops. |
|
This is a small savory cheese waffle. It was almost as good as the Tuna Tartar, so the 2nd best thing I have eaten this trip, possibly. |
|
Dessert was also delicious. |
|
When the bill came, they also gave you one more thing. They said it was a chance to forage our own food. |
|
Four tasty treats were hidden amongst rocks, shells, and driftwood. |
|
I can see one now! |
|
There was a jelly and a chocolate for each of us. They were great. |
It was a really great meal and a really great experience. It was well worth the drive.
|
After dinner we walked to Ucluelet Brewing. |
|
Their patio was right on the water. It's beautiful. |
That's it for today. If you missed,
Bartender Error in Your Favor, check it out. We got a giant flight of local spirits.
