Some regular features on our daily special sheet might include local whole spot prawns, dungeness crab, wolf eel, Arctic char, rainbow trout, steelhead and wild chinook salmon when it's in season. Wild game such as pheasant, quail, partridge and even ostrich and Saanich farms emu make regular appearances on our menu. For the red meat lovers, the island is home to some of the world's finest venison, caribou and elk. In the winter there is superb wild boar and bison.

From our coastal rainforests there are wild chanterelles and succulent morels, plus the even more exotic pine and cauliflower mushrooms. Cowichan Valley salmonberries in May, Metchosin blackberries and tayberries in June and July, then salal, red gooseberry and wild currants through the fall.

In the spring we feature fresh fiddleheads, the delicious shoots of young ferns. Sweet, tender local asparagus, miniature new potatoes and baby beets follow next. Summer brings peaches-and-cream corn on the cob, sugar snap peas and fragrant lavender. In Autumn the island abounds with exotic squashes and pumpkins. Late-picked crabapples and winter sorrel are harvested next, along with island kiwi fruit and many varieties of grapes.
