Boat adventure and dinner - Edit
We stopped here for dinner as part of a Bowen Island Dinner Boat Tour with Vancouver Water Adventures.
Read moreI had the vegan mozzarella on the margarita. It was so fresh with sun-dried tomatoes and basil and was really filling. The setting was lovely outside and the restaurant had a really good atmosphere. It was busy on a Friday night so would probably advise making a reservation.

Decent pizza with a couple good vegan options - Edit
Good place to sit and enjoy a warm evening but do make reservations. They have vegan mozzarella available which is good on the Nuevo vegetariano without feta.

Vegan option(s-ish), not really vegan friendly /: - Edit
TLDR:
Read more- Margherita pizza with daiya mozzarella and focaccia are the vegan options
- Crust and sauce were delicious
- Servers do not seem super trained in what is vegan and what isn’t, which is totally okay, but do trust your instincts and you may need to really affirm you want a vegan option, and even then, be prepared to have to send it back despite feeling embarrassed ):
- Really nice ambiance, good wine list, super sweet and friendly host (Thank you Paris for being so kind!)

We didn’t see anything online about a vegan option except for on here. That is a red flag usually. The in-person menu does say “ask about our vegan and gluten free options”. The options are: focaccia and a Margherita pizza sub vegan mozzarella. I like bread, so no problem there.
We weren’t greeted by the server for a long time (which is totally okay, I am a server and know things get busy). When we were, I tried to order the Margherita pizza with vegan cheese and explained I was vegan and made sure it would be okay. He said “should be fine” not very convincingly. Again, totally okay. I expect coming to a non vegan restaurant for it to be a bit iffy. Calculated risk. Hungry. We got the focaccia to start.
He took our drink order and came back. We ordered our mains again and I made it clear I wanted the vegan pizza again. He wrote it on a notepad and audibly said “okay, vegan!”
Long story short, the focaccia was yummy, but when my partner and I got our pizzas my Margherita came out with none of the toppings listed.. (no tomatoes or basil).. and very clearly looked too good to be vegan cheese. I hate, hate sending things back because again I work in the industry but I couldn’t eat it. He also didn’t check in with us for a while and I had to flag him down to shyly ask “is this vegan? I’m sorry.” He wasn’t sure, took it away and came back and explained it wasn’t, and confirmed that none of the toppings were on it. I waited a while to be able to get a new one. I knew it was daiya mozzarella, and the crust and the sauce were delicious.
My partner is not vegan, and their pizza was perfect and they were super happy with it.
Keep in mind the pizzas are *tiny* and for a vegan one you will spend minimum $27 because of the upgrade. But worth it for the ambiance and location to the ferry!
Pros: friendly hosts and servers , vegan option (daiya cheese), beautiful patio

Incredible Vegan Pizza - Edit
I loved this place!! It was cute, quiet and smelled amazing. I definitely came here for the vegan pizza and I was not disappointed. Everything was made fresh, the crust was incredible and the cheese was extremely good. I also liked that I was able to make a half and half pizza. Half Margherita and half veggie. I'll definitely be back here next time I'm on the island!
