Bear Watch Bistro - Port Alberni

With so many fast food places it is so refreshing to have a spot in Port Alberni that serves healthy whole foods . Great location for a relaxing lunch... yummy soups and my BLT was delicious!!

Stay away, even if you are dying of starvation, death is a better option. The service was sad even though they were trying. Is it new owners? Four women who obviously don't know the food industry. The food was so awful we couldn't finish it. The soup was lumpy and burnt. Just don't go!

Extensive menu for a small Bistro. Fabulous food, all home made from scratch, breads, soups, salads, desserts and snacks. Lots of healthy alternatives. I loved the lentil soup and bought some to take home for the next day along with a fresh loaf of multigrain bread. Family friendly and a view (unfortunately it was raining when we were there). A good place for coffee or lunch, I will be back.

Friendly staff.A lot of the foods on the menus are home produced including breads,sauces etc. A few short steps from the Greyhound/Tofino bus station on the main road along the riverside,it is worth pausing then catching the next bus just to go have a cup of coffee a look at the menu. I had the Poutine it was gorgeous.Many appealing things on the menu,but I was unfortunately just passing through on this occasion I will be back Dave

The restaurant serves delicious homemade food that is always fresh and tasty. The only downside is that it closes at 3:00 PM, and it would be great if they stayed open later, especially during the summer.
