We stayed a couple of days in an resort close to Port McNeill, so we tested the 3 supposedly best restaurants in town: The Archipelagos Bistro, the Northern Lights and the Sportsman's Steak and Pizza House. I take the liberty to write the identical review for all 3.
All three restaurants are alright, you don't do a mistake if you go there. Anyway, from our point of view there is a quite clear ranking:
#3 is Sportsman's Steak and Pizza. It's pretty good, the steaks are alright, a place to feel good and relax. Try the Mango Daiquiri :-) Nice views, too.
#2 is Northern Lights. A little better and a little more upscale. The menu is a bit Italian inspired, the food is very good.
Undisputed #1 is the Archipelagos Bistro: Lots of French and Italian dishes like Osso Buco or Foie Gras, which are even hard to get in European restaurants. Everything possible is home made, even the fried pickles we got as starter were pickled by themself. Highly recommended.
The place to recommend when staying in Port McNeill. Not very big, quite some waiting times but really great food. All of it: we had the cheese burger with bacon, the fish and chips, cesars salad with catch of the day and the Baby Burl Burger (1lb of meat).
After just barely managing to finish the "Baby Burl" I asked how often the OMG_Burl (3 lb of meat) is ordered. Not very often!
So go for it if you are hungry and up for the challenge to eat the equivalence of 12 Quaterpounder w. cheese...
Delicious food and great service. This was an unexpected bright spot in Port McNeil!
Dinner was so good I went back for breakfast...awesome meals!!...great staff.
We had a good brunch. It was nice to see some tasty options for the build-your-omelette, like smoked gorgonzola. I'm excited to try their dinner menu in the future.
