Here’s a handy list of Qualicum Beach restaurants, cafés, coffee bars and bakeries along with their hours of operation — as of October 15, 2020. [Check QB DRINKS+EATS for current hours.]
Our local eateries continue to work under extraordinary circumstances to delight us with tasty food and cheer, and to provide welcomed opportunities to gather for safe socializing. Imagine what life in our town would be like without them. So we say, use it or lose it.
You can help these independent businesses and their staff — our neighbours — to weather the winter. Surprise your friends & family with a gift certificate for a take-out order, or a morning coffee & baked goodie, or a dine-in meal. And don’t forget to treat yourself too!
