Tofino - The Pointe Restaurant

 Once in a while we like to treat ourselves to supper at the Pointe restaurant at the Wikaninnish Inn. Its located within walking distance from where we were staying, the Sauna House. Just bring one of the flashlights in your room or your own.

After walking down their impressive covered entryway, you can relax near this fireplace. In the daylight, the view outside is awe inspiring with the crashing waves upon the rocks.

Here is a view inside.
My wife and I both went for the four course menu with additions and my wife ordered the wine pairing; I just tasted out of her glass. It started with fresh bread of your choice and a little amuse bouche (little tasting). It was a little ravioli with truffle oil and herbed pesto underneath. Then the appetizer of Oceanwise albacore tuna tartare with ginger, togarashi and pickled shitake. Then came the organic beet salad with caraway croûtons, smoked salmon and horseradish. As an extra my wife ordered the beef carpaccio and crab truffle with sweet corn and I ordered the seared Quebec foie gras on deep fried Calvados ice cream and quince. Then a palette cleanser of lemon sorbet. The main was next, Moroccan spiced lamb sirloin with squash, black lentil crisp and coriander. For dessert it was 80% dark chocolate mousse with coffee hints and walnuts.

Sound good? No it wasn't. It was divine! A definite gastronomic delight and a pleasant three hours.
