Octavia's Bistro - Orcas

It's unfortunate that this restaurant only has a 3.5 rating on Yelp. I don't agree with those who gave it low scores. We purchased a Living Social voucher to visit...

Orcas Island is a stunning and tranquil destination, perfect for recharging. However, if you're looking for a dinner spot during the week, your options are quite limited. Most restaurants are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, and many operate for only four days. Tonight, I used Google to find a place to eat and discovered the Orcas Hotel Cafe. This spot offers casual, informal dining where you order at the counter, find a seat, and then pick up your food. It's conveniently located right by the ferry, making it easy to find, and the view there is fantastic! The main dining area had a special this evening that included food and jazz music for $68, but we opted for the more relaxed dining option. My companions ordered the fish and chips, which was a generous portion great for sharing.

I had the fish and chips here, and they were probably the best I've ever had. The menu is quite amusing, featuring items like Barbacoa, Latte, Chicken Tinga Burrito, and various fresh baked goods. While you wait for your meal, you can enjoy sitting by the outdoor fire pits. However, be aware that there are no regular seats available.
