what people are Saying
"We enjoyed lunch at the Cow Cafe today. It was super cloudy but the views were still beautiful. The hostess was friendly and we were seated quickly. Our server was prompt and attentive and friendly as well. My husband had a hamburger and I had the chicken and prawn fajita bowl. Both were fresh and hot and we really enjoyed them. Definitely would return."
April Janele
"We had a very good dinner here on Valentine's weekend. We started off with the Volcano roll and the Smoked bacon seafood chowder. For our mains the Crispy Chicken with noodles bowl and the Tuna Poke bowl with coconut rice. Topped it off with the Triple chocolate cheesecake for dessert. All dishes were tasty and the server was pleasant as well."
Gayle Wigmore
"This was a great stop for lunch before exploring Cowichan. We enjoyed the Crab Melt with a fantastic side salad and the Cow Club with the tomato soup. All very good and perfect proportions. Photos from our window table had the most excellent view!"
Sue Mackey
"A must stop place to go to on the island for Caesar lovers. Coast 2 coast was our favourite which included a wonderfully cooked lobster tail. The seafood chowder was well-liked at our table, so was the fish and chips, and scallops and pork belly."
