Sechelt offers some of the most diverse array of dining options among the lower Sunshine Coast communities.
Choose from upscale West Coast cuisine, hearty pub fare, or ethnic dishes. Prices are affordable, and it's just a short drive south to Gibsons or north to Pender Harbour and Egmont for more foodie exploration.
West Coast cuisine typically incorporates local, seasonal, and organic ingredients. Sechelt restaurants have enthusiastically embraced the "100-Mile Diet."
For a more casual take on seafood, head over to Davis Bay and scarf down fish and chips made with fresh halibut, topped off with a gelato at Pier 17 (4720 Sunshine Coast Hwy.). Enjoy some hearty pub fare at the Lighthouse Pub (5764 Wharf Rd.), where a huge outdoor patio overlooks a marina with boats, seaplanes, and great sunset views.
Ethnic Dining
For a municipality with less than 10,000 inhabitants, Sechelt has a wide selection of ethnic restaurants. In the mood for Japanese? Sushi fans can belly up to the counter at Sushi Bar 5517 (5517 Wharf Ave.) and chow down on mango rolls, beef teriyaki, and tuna sashimi. Or how about Mediterranean? Daphne's (5530 Wharf Ave.) provides ethnic fusion cuisine with a Greek twist, from grilled prawns to pita sandwiches. Other cuisines represented in Sechelt include Italian, Vietnamese, Thai, and Chinese.
More Sunshine Coast Dining
Fans of The Beachcombers can head to Gibsons and check out Molly's Reach (647 School Rd.), formerly a set for the popular CBC TV series. The marina-front establishment specializes in fish and chips with locally brewed ale batter, and also has burgers, omelets, and salads.
The Gumboot Restaurant (1041 Roberts Creek Rd.) in Roberts Creek has an eclectic menu with big portions, ranging from Salt Spring Island lamb burgers to veggie burritos. Red tables cluster beneath a wood-beamed, skylit ceiling, and local artists display their work on the walls.
More seasonal organic dishes and savvy wine lists grace the menus at nearby Sunshine Coast resorts like Rockwater Secret Cove Resort in Halfmoon Bay, Painted Boat Resort in Madeira Park, and West Coast Wilderness Lodge in Egmont.
