Elevated Dining, in the Wild
An Unexpected Dining Experience
At Nimmo Bay, we don’t just serve up distinctly West Coast cuisine—we tell the story of our land and sea through food and drink designed to reconnect you with the delicacies of nature. Your stay includes all meals, snacks, and house beverages.
A Modern Pacific Northwest Menu
Our dishes emphasize clean, fresh flavours based on locally caught seafood, foraged plants, and pasture-raised BC meats. The produce and protein are carefully sourced from select sustainable farms, most of which are located on nearby Vancouver Island.
All menus reflect the seasonality of the region and the creative passions of the chefs. Our culinary team happily accommodates restrictions and preferences, not limited to vegans, vegetarians, gluten-free, and those who don’t prefer seafood.
Breakfast
At Nimmo Bay, mornings unfold with a sense of ease, nourishment, and quiet anticipation for the day ahead. Sip a latte on the dock as a heron glides past and mist rises softly from the ocean. Then, wander into the restaurant where breakfast is thoughtfully prepared each morning. Choose from a menu of familiar favourites or follow your curiosity with a rotating feature inspired by the season. Whether you are in the mood for something new or a perfectly executed classic you return to time and again.
Lunch
For those relaxing at the resort during the day, our restaurant is open for lunch. Most guests will enjoy gourmet picnics while out on excursions. From thoughtfully prepared lunches enjoyed on the boat while searching for wildlife to multi-course cookouts hosted by a chef in our floating dining room, midday dining at Nimmo Bay is as memorable as the setting itself.
Dinner
Dinner at Nimmo Bay is the natural culmination of the day, where each evening unfolds as a distinct culinary experience. Dining styles shift throughout your stay, from relaxed family-style feasts to refined five-course tasting menus and elegant à la carte evenings. Begin with canapés and cocktails before settling in for the main meal, then ease into the night beside the fire, wrapped in blankets beneath a sky full of stars, enjoying an apéritif as you take in the view.
