Central Vancouver Island....in Qualicum Beach great spot to check out is RAWTHENTIC EATERY its fantastic. Just went there for lunch loved it and can't tell you enough how yummy their raspberry cheesecake was....all raw vegan food....and their shakes and fresh juices!!!
Can't wait to try out some more places in Victoria next time we go down. Nanaimo doesn't have a whole lot but Bocca is good and has a pretty big menu and variety!
FYI if you go to Gorilla Foods in Vancouver they only take cash, but loved the place, again awesome eating experience.
