Super casual Restaurants
About as chill as possible
(Tofino is a seasonal town and some establishments close in the low season, or get super busy in the high season - check ahead to ensure availability)
Everything is good, we recommend the Fish burrito. Get there as soon as it opens in the summer... typically a 2-3 hour line up.

A bit of a secret spot unless you're staying at Pacific Sands. Basically a burger & taco concession, but one of the best, with a view of the surf.
