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!
