Glacier Valley Bistro - Courtenay

Went to the Bistro with my wife and 3 year old and the food was awesome we had beef dips and my 3 year old had a grilled cheese sandwich. We all enjoyed it and it all tasted fresh and the salad we got was like it was just picked out of the ground. Will return thank you. :

GVB has a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff here are exceptional, delivering great customer service. That combined with the comfortable, almost cozy environment, ensures that everyone leaves a little happier than when they came in. The food is good, not great, as it's lacking in flavor and spice levels for my taste. Granted I only had the Veg and Feta Wrap so the other items on the menu are open to interpretation. I will say that the Cream Soda here is fantastic! Highly recommend it. Overall it's a great place to spend an hour or two with good company.

This is a real GEM! The coffee is good and the food is amazing. The Chef (owner? Has an honest interest in his customers and actively seeks their input. I enjoy the quiet atmosphere but am sure this venue will (deservedly be discovered.

Came here for lunch and had the pulled chicken club and Asian sesame salad with a coffee. It was so delicious, including the coffee. Everything is so fresh and it was cheaper than eating at mc Donald's. Very clean restaurant and awesome staff. Highly recommend.

Stopped here for breakfast on a road trip through the island. The apple cheddar waffles were delicious as was the coffee. It has a cozy atmosphere and fun conversation with the proprietor. If you find yourself in Courtenay, stop here on the way to the beach for coffee, lunch or a delicious brunch.
