Restaurant Review!
Sobo l 1084 Pacific Rim Highway l Tofino
Yes. It’s a trailer off of the highway. Yes it’s in the parking lot of a botanical garden. And yes, it serves some of the best food in the province. After hours of surfing or staring off into miles of beach, there is nothing more satisfying than lunch at this stand out eatery.
The seafood chowder is an absolute wonder. Never have a run across chowder with nothing but spoonful after spoonful of seafood. The fish has the moist rich taste of meat that’s been taken close to the bone. It’s sweet and perfectly balanced by a bit cream, dill and spiciness. The fish tacos must be eaten quickly before the incredibly fresh mango salsa sogs the tortilla. It gets messy but it’s worth it.
However, I have saved the best for last. This is of course something that is so perfect that anytime you order the dish elsewhere, you will face nothing but disappointment. I am talking about their polenta fries with a spicy Caesar dipping sauce. Fried to crisp perfection on the outside yet creamy and smooth inside, I cannot think of anything that I have craved so much in the last few months. I scalded my tongue trying to take as much in with each bite. A week ago, I tried to convince my manager to let me go to Port Alberni to replace some of our equipment. I don’t think that I’ve ever been so heart broken about not being allowed to do my job.
