Cup Cutter Restaurant - Bowen Island

Last night I went to the Cup Cutter (which is in such a beautiful setting) and enjoyed one of the most delicious meals I have ever had. It was a "Prime Rib Night" - and the plates held a generous portion of sliced prime rib roast, two Yorkshire puddings, mashed potatoes and vegetables that were done perfectly. I am not much of a meat eater, but I was with three men who were. When this huge portion of beef was placed before me, I felt mildly alarmed and wondered why I ordered it .....and then I started eating it. OMG! It was delicious; especially with the sharp horse radish sauce provided in a side dish. One of the others said it was one of the best meals he had ever had. I agree. If you are on Bowen, and hear about another Prime Rib night at the Cup Cutter - don't miss it!!

Based on these stellar reviews, we tried to take my son for his 2nd birthday dinner. We drove over 4kms from the nearest main road winding up & down until we thought we were lost. Go in, they have no highchairs, no boosters. Starving, we thought we'd try since there was not a soul in there. No one would be bothered by a toddler. The menu was a lunch menu. Really no dinner entrees being served at all. Burgers & fries it is I guess. How disappointing after looking forward to roast beef, etc. Pretty easy to do burgers/fries no? My fries were burnt. Awful. We sat outside, wasps were swarming, we moved back in. My son was impossible to keep in an adult chair so I explained that & asked if we could get the meals to go. The "chef" said he had duck tape. The owner brought out 2 containers for me to pack. Ugh, never going back!

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant. Sitting on the sun deck, watching the golfers on the first tee and the 9th, I received excellent service from Joy. Chef Mario prepared an incredible variety of food, from assorted muffins and baked goods to salads, hot dishes, and freshly made omelettes. The highlight was the mouthwatering dessert table with bread pudding cups, fruit, Cinnamon buns, berry pie, lemon custard, and more. The price of $18.00 ($15 for over 60's) was a steal for such a fantastic meal. I can't wait to come back next Sunday!

The restaurant is open until 8pm and is definitely worth the trip to the southeast of the island. After a game of golf on Sunday, we stopped by and tried the roast beef dinner. It was fantastic, especially with the pepper gravy and perfectly cooked vegetables. The house red wine complemented the meal perfectly and the bill was reasonable. You can't beat $36.00 for two people with wine and dessert. We also heard they have a Sunday brunch which we are excited to try this week. Let's keep this gem to ourselves since it's a small place. By the way, the golf course is a charming 9 hole course that is perfect for a leisurely walk.

The house salad is the best as it is loaded with fresh chopped vegetables and then dressed with basil olive oil with balsamic.... delicious. They were out of chicken, my usual protein add to the salad, so I ordered the fresh tuna. IT WAS EXCELLENT!! Even better than chicken. We ate out on the patio with a view of the golf course. it was a gorgeous day and the place was hopping. Our waitress handled the entire crowd with speed. Service was GREAT!!
