Deserves five stars

It’s not directly advertised (but it ought to be), nor is it brought out unless you ask for it, but there is a dedicated vegan/vegetarian menu (any vegan requests will be accommodated where dishes are vegetarian) and it is FANTASTIC. The menu is split into 3- or 5-course tasting menus, and I didn’t want to be locked into either given all the delicious-looking choices; my server was more than willing to accommodate me. I selected two small plates, three large ones and then the dessert; I let the chef determine in which order to serve the dishes.

Highlights included the orecchiette and the tofu large plates. The tofu, in particular blew my mind—I’ve never had crispier, better-prepared tofu than this—including anywhere in Asia.

The Pointe overlooks Chesterman Beach and has one of the best views of any restaurant I’ve been to anywhere in the world—and I’ve been a lot of places. You’re not likely to get a seat by the window unless you’re staying at the hotel.

Everything, including the service, was impeccable. Many thanks to The Pointe for a very memorable evening. Highly recommended if you’re anywhere near Tofino.

Beautiful restaurant and tasty :)

Pleasantly surprised with this place, was nice to have a separate vegan/veg menu. Portion for the fried tofu was small for the price but tasty.

Pros: Atmosphere , Clear menu

Cons: Price , Portion

Excellent Vegan brunch!

They had a separate Vegetarian menu (unexpected)that had several Vegan options. Had the brunch meal with sautéed mushrooms (instead of eggs), toast, potatoes, greens, and awesome fresh fruit plate. My husband had the mushroom toast. Both really great! The incredible location overlooking the ocean only made the food better! Added bonus … we saw whales right outside the window! The service was excellent as well.

On Point!

We dined here to celebrate our honeymoon and we were treated exceptionally well from start to finish. The restaurant was very bright and open with stunning ocean views. I was particularly impressed with the fine dining vegan selection they offered and their effort to ensure that I knew they were aware of my dietary needs from the onset and throughout our meal. The server described each dish as it came and pointed out what made it specifically vegan if it was originally a vegetarian dish. All guests were even offered a vegan/vegetarian menu at the host stand, which I thought was encouraging. I also appreciated that the pricing of the veg selections was reasonable and less than the omni dishes, a rarity. The food itself was exquisitely presented and larger portions than expected. My only wish would be that they would take it one step further and mark the wines that are vegan on their vast list.
We were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary VEGAN dessert (unlike at our actual wedding elsewhere) and a souvenir menu for our honeymoon. If you are seeking a high standard of service and romantic setting, look no further!

Pros: Huge selection, Knowledgeable staff

Top vegan pick; The Wick

I was blown away by this resort and restaurant. They have an entirely vegan menu made by executive chefs. They treat you like royalty and are so inclusive of vegans. I actually received a phone call from the executive chef expressing that they will cater exclusively to us as vegans. I recommend the Avocado Rösti, Shakshuka, Aerated Chocolate and Raspberry Sorbet, Chewy Beets, Butternut Squash Soup, Teryaki Glazed Tofu. The fresh juices are delicious, coffee is amazing, with soy and almond options. Vegan wines available too. Every time we walked in the staff remembered we were vegan. Oh, and the view is unbelievable. The only reason I didn’t put 5-stars is becuase Happy Cow only allows that for fully vegan restaurants.

Pros: Entirely vegan menus for all meals, Vegan room service, Impeccable staff with inclusive service
