Slurping up International Flavours at Atlas Cafe


Heading up island this weekend? Then you should pay a visit to the Atlas Café in Courtenay and treat your taste buds to some international flavours. Although our server seemed a little distracted (perhaps Santa didn’t bring him what he wanted), the food more than made up for it.

Check out these mussels – direct from the waters of Saltspring Island, they were some of the plumpest, most flavourful crustaceans I’ve had the pleasure of slurping up in a long time.

My companions decided they needed to warm up with some Mexican flavours and indulged in a massive baked burrito – good thing we were heading up to Mount Washington for cross-country skiing the next day.


If you’re not into Mexico (although how could you not be?) then the menu features flavours from around the world with nods to Japanese, Morroccan and Italian cuisines. And yes, there are even burgers for those who don't went to venture to far afield in the culinary world. Best of all , much of it is made with ingredients sourced right here on Vancouver Island. Happy island weekend!
