Absolutely stunning! The Kitchen by Abul Adame is one of the BEST Iberian restaurants we’ve had the pleasure to enjoy! Chef is passionate, creative, unapologetic-this translates through his table side presence and his perfect dishes! Tapas is not only an art but a way of life dine later, sip cocktails/wine, socialize and savour, often presented at long paced intervals. This is definitely a foodie’s heaven especially with magical sunsets
Lovely view and tantalizing atmosphere. The sun set was breathtaking. The service was excellent with layers of knowledge. The food memorable and the wine was dry with a hint of smoke. We were not able to do the wine tasting we wanted, unfortunately.
Our one fancy meal was at The Kitchen by Da Silva. The food is Portuguese tapas, all cooked by one chef. The tapas menu is 99% gluten free and we shared 7 dishes between two. - Boquerones $7.00 - Roasted Anaheim peppers, sea salt and garlic oil $9.00 - Veal tongue in tomatillo sauce $12.00 - tongue was cooked to perfection and the tomatillo sauce accentuated the meat beautifully. Best dish of the night. - Ceviche $19.00 - Salteados $9.00 - chicken hearts were excellent but the grilled onions elevated the flavour to the next level. The sweety drop peppers were juicy and bursting with flavour. - Duck leg confit with amarena cherry gastric $17.00 and marinated organic beets and mint-balsamic vinaigrette $9.00 Will try to come back with a larger group so that we can try more things! 4.5 stars.
Excellent food, beautiful location and awesome ambience. An amazing experience, please make sure to have a reservation and also it not just a place to have a quick meal it’s a place to have an experience and enjoy the amazing food with the beautiful location. We did the chef’s choice and love the tapas send out to us. Every tapas had love attached to it. Will definitely visit them again to try the other amazing dishes on the menu. The piri piri shrimp is a must have
Just got back from a lovely evening here. Myself, 2 of my sons and a daughter-in-law commemorated what should have been my 42nd wedding anniversary if I hadn't lost my husband this spring. We laughed shared memories, good food and wine together in the relaxed atmosphere and attentive service that made for one excellent evening. Pascale, our server was great and the chef came out to meet us at the end of the evening. We did the chefs choice evening and had a wide variety of lovely dishes. Would 100% suggest this experience to others It wasn't cheap but it was worth every penny.
Amazing experience here yesterday. The food was fantastic and the wine excellent get the fume blanc! Sitting on the deck enjoying tapas and the view. Couldn’t think of a better way to spend an afternoon. Every dish was a high light but shout out to the seared albacore tuna with guacamole, the grilled Anaheim peppers and the grilled sardines. The service was great. We were very well taken care of. I couldn’t recommend this spot enough and we’re already looking forward to next summers lunch when we return.
Went for late lunch during last week before season ends...only has chef choice creation so have to eat what the chef makes for you. Had 5 dishes...not blown away by the flavours but was good. Was given the sausage, which was a bit on the drier side though. Also got the grilled calamari that was fresh and tasty. Got mussels and clams in light tomato broth. Portions tend to be on the smaller side but kind of expected that for tapas...as long as price isn't that of a regular entree. However, the clams and mussels was $29 for less than a lb and was no where near the menu prices, which was shown to be $7-$20 per tapa. When told this week would be chef's choice and shown the tapas available in the menu, I thought they would be serving us random tapas in the menu, which we would have been fine with. Didn't expect them to slightly tweak the tapa dishes and then charge $5-$10 more per tapa just because it's chef's choice creation. Also was given the sardine $7 a piece and mackerel $12 a piece. They were very small and both were about 5 inches at most. I thought this was too expensive for two small fish for chef's choice creation. We would have been much more satisfied with ordering what we wanted from the menu, knowing the exact prices and what we were getting. Like I said, the food was good but can get very expensive if you allow the chef to make what he/she chooses and not knowing what that tapa dish would be until the end. It's not about how much your budget is but rather is it what we expected for the prices and the food that came out. We spent more for lunch at other wineries and felt fully satisfied. We were somewhat misled by the menu and thought those would be the prices but get random tapas. Food was good but just not for those prices for a few of those tapas. Service was good and friendly. A bit on the warm side, even in the October sun as it was mainly patio seating. Will definitely not go back for chef's choice creation...as for regular menu, may consider but perhaps after trying out all the other winery restaurants.
Made reservations for my wife's birthday mid-September. Abul, the chef, delivered a delicious lineup of Portuguese style tapas. This was our ninth or tenth meal here over as many years and the food has always been excellent. The staff are engaging and friendly, making for a great dining experience. What made it extra special was that the chef and staff all came out to wish my wife happy birthday and made us a special dessert.
A really good experience at The Kitchen...if you like tapas - it's a style of dining that's not to everyone's taste. We love it We arrived hungry after a day of touring wineries so we ordered a lot! Started with a tasty hummus and baguette, followed with 2 seafood dishes, carried on to roasted cauliflower and duck leg confit, a pork belly on tomato and basil salad, fresh Saltspring Island mussels and clams, and meatballs with tomato chipotle sauce. Whew! But still room for dessert, lol - had the housemade cheesecake and the daily special which was an espresso creme brulee. Everything was delicious - well balanced flavors, fresh ingredients - the only quibble I had was with the squid, it was finished with very coarse salt that I found overpowering. But I eat very little salt so it may be just a personal taste thing for me. Recommended if you like tapas and enjoy taking your time over dinner. Ps the dining area is a covered patio, but they have propane heaters that kept it cozy as the night got chilly
The food was exceptional, across the board. The mussels were probably the most devine. The chef had an occasional presence out in the space and was welcoming. Good wine. Easy-going atmosphere. It was our server’s first shift she had started only an hour before we got there and she was very present and real with us. All of us on the deck took ownership when a sudden blast of rain and wind blew in. Says a lot about a place when we the customers can care as much about the place as the staff. Would be a tremendous place to go with a big table of people, order multiple dishes, drink lots of wine, and toast the chef. Great spirit about the place. Definitely we’ll return.
