DEEP COVE: Hidden Jewel

Deep Cove - A cottage community on the West Coast of Canada, a great day trip from Vancouver . Beautiful scenery of the ocean, mountains, parks, forests - true West Coast culture.

Chefi's Seaside Restaurant Bistro is one of the hidden jewels in Deep Cove. Located on the main street, Gallant Avenue. A very small-sized restaurant, run by the owner herself, Jen. She has actually put together a small wine list, with every wine available by glass. Don't you just love that? Makes life so much easier.

The restaurant is small and nicely decorated, there's small patio with fresh flowers. I love the coziness of the ambiance, dimly lit and candles everywhere. It's such a romantic little restaurant, makes you feel like you've been transported to a small restaurant in Italy or something like that. And the service, it was excellent. Even if it wasn't Jen serving you herself, her servers were so sincerely nice, unlike the fake smiles you find in a lot of large restaurants. The servers at Chefi's were truly wanted you to feel like home.

Their menu selection is not big, but excellent value. For a Fillet Mignon, you're looking at paying $20Cdn. Their combination of their flavours is quite impressive with a restaurant of their size. Chefi's also changes their menu season to season, changing them subtly, keeping their favorites while offering new choices.
Their selection of seafood is always fresh, and I always order their mussels. The sauces are made well with a few selections to choose from.
Deep Cove is a secluded area with not much but scenery. It's a wonderful place for a quiet Summer Sunday afternoon, arriving just in time for lunch and leaving right after dinner.
