Cuisine
For a list of culinary events and more happening at the Inn and around Tofino, please visit our Tofino Events page.
In creating and operating the Wickaninnish Inn the McDiarmid family adheres to a philosophy that transcends conventional parameters of environmental sustainability to include notions of environmental harmony, integration, and celebration. This ideology permeates every aspect of our operations including the exceptionally fresh food created in the kitchens of our world renown The Pointe Restaurant, On The Rocks Bar and Lounge and Driftwood Café.
Our Executive Chef Warren Barr takes special pride in working closely with the Tofino-Ucluelet Culinary Guild to source B.C. based seafood, game and produce suppliers to stock our kitchens with local and organic ingredients. Our wild salmon, spot prawns, and side stripe shrimp are procured by legendary local Angler Jeff Mikus while our crab, halibut, and other products come from Trilogy in Tofino and West Pacific Seafood. Two Rivers Meats provides us with whole pork used to prepare our homemade sausage, bacon and roasts; they also source free range, organic poultry and beef. Our extensive wine list, recognized by Wine Spectator, and meticulously selected by our Sommelier and Director of Food & Beverage, Ike Seaman, offers west coast bottles with the spotlight on B.C. and Pacific Northwest wines. And finally, quality crafted beer from the local brewmasters at Tofino Brewing Company, Philips Brewing Company, Vancouver Island Brewery, Granville Island Brewery, and Turning Point Brewery.
The Pointe Restaurant
Raise your glass and your expectations at The Pointe Restaurant. It is one of Tofino's top restaurants and a must-go-to Vancouver Island dining destination. With over 240 degrees of Pacific Ocean viewscape welcoming your arrival, it may take a few moments to focus on the menu. Pacific Northwest cuisine is awarded a fresh outlook by Chef Warren Barr and our acclaimed kitchen brigade.
If you're dining at The Pointe Restaurant, you might plan to arrive a half an hour early to enjoy a classic cocktail at our On the Rocks Bar and Lounge. Here we feature an excellent selection of Pacific Northwest wines, a quality range of classic ports and one of B.C.'s largest selection of single-malt scotches.
Driftwood Café
Nestled on the Beach level, the Driftwood cafe is one of our hidden gems at the Wickaninnish Inn. Offering a range of specialty espresso drinks, fruit smoothies and spa-inspired fare, it is the ideal spot to start or conclude a morning beach walk, or enjoy a light breakfast or an afternoon snack. A recent addition you can sink your teeth into? Wholesome house-baked bread - fresh daily!
After 4:00pm the Driftwood Café offers a west coast inspired menu of small plates perfect for sharing, prepared onsite by a member of our culinary team. Accompanied by a selection of wines and bottled beer, a casual dinner at the Café is a perfect way to end your day on the beach!
With a wood-burning fireplace and boot dryer, it is also the perfect location to warm up after a winter storm walk on Chesterman Beach and continue your storm watching from the inside looking out. Why not walk on the Chesterman Beach tombolo to Frank Island (at low tide - check your Tide Guide), view the Inn and the coastal mountains from a different perspective, and return for a hot chocolate - or hot toddy - at the Driftwood Café?
We are pleased to offer the refined West Coast cuisine of The Pointe Restaurant and On the Rocks Bar and Lounge - in the comfort of your guest accommodations. Our Room Service menu is offered from 7:30am until 9:00pm daily. Traveling with little ones? Ask about our WickKids menu!
Join Chefs Barr, Sider and our culinary team with the ever charming Oysterman in the Inn's Driftwood Café for this convivial evening. Delightful creations will be paired with just the right wine to coax you... out of your shell. Simply look for the Oysterman's signature beret, let your own Oyster Revolution begin (a revolution and a cocktail evening? Wow!), and we'll take care of the rest for you.
Executive Chef Warren Barr and Chris Blazeiko are committed to providing you with the freshest, locally sourced ingredients possible. As such specific items in each menu selection may change based on availability. Although updated on a regular basis, onsite menus may show slight variations from the below.

Surveying the panoramic vistas from the westernmost point of Tofino’s idyllic Chesterman Beach, The Pointe Restaurant’s inspired West Coast cuisine and attentive service come gift-wrapped with 240 degree views of the Pacific Ocean, surrounding islands and wildlife. Much of the fresh seafood is fished from the very waters overlooked by The Pointe, and a longstanding focus on locally sourced, high quality ingredients is evident. Dinner is offered on a seasonal à la carte menu, but for the best of the best, try Executive Chef Warren Barr's weekly tasting menu, paired with a selection of wines, showcasing BC’s finest selections with a broad range of international bottlings. Out of the ordinary desserts reflect an innovative Pastry program where almost everything - from bread to butter to scrumptious chocolate croissants - is housemade.
The final courses of your evening at The Pointe are brought to you by our in-house pastry team.
The cheese, dessert and bread program change with the seasons which inspire our daily creations. With the freshest local and seasonal products coupled with the exotic from around the world, our pastry team looks to delight, inspire and challenge your palette with an array of modern whimsy. In the comfort of the conventional with the spirit & adventure of the unconventional, we look forward to helping you find the perfect selection and pairing.
