WILD MOUNTAIN Food & Drink

We didn’t have a reservation so arrived at 5 for the best chance at getting a table - we had first dibs on the patio, which was perfect.nnWe started out with the albacore tuna crudo, which was beautifully presented and a nice and fresh one bite snack.nnNext, we shared the small charcuterie board, which featured bresaola, capicola, smoked pork and apricot terrine, duck liver mousse with a plum mostarda, Salt Spring Island Romelia cheese, pickles and sourdough crostini. Everything complimented each other nicely.nnAs entrees, we had the pappardelle housemade duck confit, hakurei turnips and spinach, leeks, fennel, basil cream sauce and the wild westcoast lingcod wild spot prawn broth with Umi Nami Farm vegetables - hakurei turnips & tops, napa cabbage, komatsuna, kohlrabi and daikon, leek oil. We loved how all the ingredients were so fresh and locally grown or sourced.nnTo finish it off, we had the pavlova. The meringue had the perfect marshmallowy texture and was so light and airy, while the lemon curd, berries and whipped cream made every bite heavenly!nnService was amazing. Our server Taylor was great - very friendly and genuine.nnWe’d definitely come back on our next trip to Sooke!

Fantastic place to eat with wonderful food! I love everything they stand for with local ingredients, high quality, and teamwork! Any tip you give is shared equally among all the staff and it encourages everyone to work together to create a wonderful experience. I will definitely be back there again! I loved the fact that it was a great place for a nice date night out, a regular dinner, or a fun pizza picnic with family.

Gorgeous spot on the water with a wonderful selection. You can sit inside or on one of the pretty patios. I had the pepperoni pizza and affagato which was so delicious. Hubby had appetizers and cod. Can't wait to come back again on our next trip to the island.

Farm to table restaurant that highlights unique ingredients with vegetables being standout. We most enjoyed the cowichan beef tartare, housemade wild nettle pappardelle, rye berry and oat risotto, the duck breast, and wood fired wild mushroom pizza. I think we were most disappointed by the wild mountain sourdough bread, as we found it to be a bit dry, tough and served cold as well. Overall, we really enjoyed how these ingredients were highlighted in creative ways and would recommend checking out this restaurant!

Nice spot to look at the water and enjoy some tasty morsels. We went for happy hour drinks and bites after some beach time. Portions were small but with fresh ingredients. Service was great!
