Glacier Valley Bistro - Courtenay

Here to the breakfast on a road trip through the island. the apple chokedar were delicious as the coffee. it has a cozy atmosphere and fun talk with the owner. if you find yourself in courtenay, stop here on the way to the beach for coffee, lunch or a delicious brunch.

Dropped in for a late lunch. Had the veggie panini with mushroom soup as the side dish. Delicious,hot, fresh, and only $9.... seriously? Super good value. At the next table was the Rueben sammy which looked awesome. Banana bread and brownies: best in town. If you haven't tried the Glacier Valley bistro, get movin'!

Delicious food served a la carte. Worth the visit for the waffles but the sandwiches are good too. Fed the family for less than the cost of fast food but everything was handmade.

GVB has a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff here are exceptional, delivering great customer service. That combined with the comfortable, almost cozy environment, ensures that everyone leaves a little happier than when they came in. The food is good, not great, as it's lacking in flavor and spice levels for my taste. Granted I only had the Veg and Feta Wrap so the other items on the menu are open to interpretation. I will say that the Cream Soda here is fantastic! Highly recommend it. Overall it's a great place to spend an hour or two with good company.

There are much better beef dips in the Valley and cheaper that come with fries. $14 for just a beef dip, no fries and a not to appetizing slaw. Didn't even ask if I wanted cheese. They usually come with cheese...not just meat and a bun. The beef dip is my go to. I have enjoyed them all over the world and never had to pay $14. Not a bad set up but needs to come back to reality. The oh-jus needs some work aswell as it has no taste. Also I shouldn't have to pay and tip before I get my food. You earn tips...not expect then.
