Tofino - Shelter Restaurant

My wife and I have eaten at Shelter pretty much every time we come to Tofino. The atmosphere is busy yet intimate, food is fantastic and wine list is good.
They only take reservations for a percentage of the restaurant so If you arrive late then be prepared to wait for a bit. There is also places to eat at or near the bar area and there is plenty of counter at the bar.

I had the West Coast Cioppino, which is a red wine tomato broth with halibut, lingcod, mussels, clams, pacific shrimp, and a grilled baguette on the side. It was delicious and a great feed of tastes of the sea. I had a local beer from the Tofino brewing company, whose name I cannot remember; It was the darkest they had.
