Out of the three places I’ve tried in Nanaimo this might be my favorite Nanaimo bar. It’s thinner, which means each bite had more balanced ratio of chocolate, cream, and crust. The crust has a nice mix of nuts and is perfectly crunchy (I believe it’s gluten free). The cream layer is not too sweet and overpowering either. Overall a delightful treat with iced coffee! My companion had a bagel sandwich which was delicious as well. Loved this cute little cafe.

Stopped into White Rabbit this morning to grab a cookie, muffin and coffee. I am pretty regular there as I have a few allergies and they have ample gluten free and vegan options which I need. The muffin today was strawberry lemon and it was to die for. I also love their apple cinnamon but honestly I haven't tried one that isn't great. My two friends came with me and we all grabbed the should be famous choco chunk cookie. The staff is always so friendly and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. This place is 100% a hidden gem and a must visit.

Gorgeous cafe, I got the portobello mushroom sandwich on gluten free bread, and a matcha latte and both were amazing. The flavour on mushroom was so creamy and salty and the matcha late was very smooth and just the right amount of sweet. Super reasonably priced and beautiful interior!

We recently revisited the Longwood Pub Restaurant in Nanaimo after a five-year absence. When we lived in Qualicum Beach, we would occasionally have lunch there while shopping in Nanaimo. The restaurant is centrally located on Turner Road in a busy strip mall; parking can be tight, but you can usually find space near Thrifty Foods or across the street. Now that we live in Victoria, we decided to see if, after all this time, their food still met the high standards we remember. I’ve never been to the pub, only to the restaurant, which is spacious yet cozy and tastefully decorated. I am not a meat-eater, but my husband loves their delicious hamburgers and great fries. Their menu offers a variety of soups, salads, hamburgers, pasta, as well as vegetarian and gluten-free options. The food is consistently good, the service is attentive and quick, portions are generous, prices are reasonable, the music is pleasant and unobtrusive, and the bathrooms are spotless. I'm not a beer expert, but the lager I tried seemed quite reasonable. I noticed they have a loyal, regular clientele, as our waiter addressed some guests by their first names and was hugged by a few. However, we won’t be going there as often as we used to, due to the long drive, but I recommend it wholeheartedly.
