When Kevin Wright had a vision for the Uptown, he started with his own business. The Steam

Punk Café showcases the kind of innovation that can be achieved with hard work and imagination.

The Café is heavily decorated in the Steam Punk style and has become a popular gathering spot in the area with local residents and business people lining up looking for their daily coffee � x.

The helpful baristas at the counter make amazing coffee and other beverages and are happy to add fresh baked goods, homemade soup,

salads and homemade paninis to your order. Ask about gluten free and vegan options as well.

In addition to comfy seating and tables inside, an outdoor patio built off the sidewalk allows patrons to take in the city while enjoying their lunch. As well, a unique art piece built from industrial machinery graces the sidewalk in front of the café, adding to the local � avour.

Owner Kevin Wright is typically on the job 7 days a week, 12 hours a day, so he is thankful for a hardworking and dedicated staff that make every customer’s experience as positive as possible.

Brad Declercq, chef and owner of The Starboard Grill, is passionate about food. He loves to create family-friendly meals with a West Coast � air using

local ingredients whenever possible. Brad prefers fresh ingredients and creates his own ground burgers, cod, halibut, salmon, pickerel, soups and desserts all in house.

Be sure to order Brad’s award-winning signature soup Candied Salmon Chowder, a true West Coast taste unique to The Starboard Grill.

Brad loves to create in the kitchen, but he knows he can’t run a successful restaurant like The Starboard Grill without help.

“Fantastic staff are a major part of our success and they really enjoy what they do,” says Brad. “they make me very proud.”

Location is another big feature of The Starboard Grill. Located on the waterfront at Harbour Quay, they are the

only restaurant in Port Alberni with a patio right on the water. Whether you are seated inside the restaurant or out on the protected patio, the view of the Alberni Inlet is spectacular year round.

The Starboard Grill can accommodate up to 100 people inside and another 80 on the patio, so it’s a great choice for any event or celebration.

People come from all over to sample the same great Schnitzels for lunch or dinner. Kathy and her staff continue to enjoy serving you in this very nostalgic and popular restaurant.

Little Bavaria Restaurant has specialized in German food and hospitality since 1966. That’s when German-born Eddie Schoenborn made his dream come true. He and his wife Gina opened The Little Bavaria Restaurant on 4th Avenue in Port Alberni. The rest as we say is local history.

Featuring the freshest of ingredients, our delicious cuisine is served in an intimate and cozy atmosphere by our friendly staff.

For that special occasion, business dinner, or family outing, come and experience the Little Bavaria Restaurant. We guarantee you will be treated like family by our “family”. In Port Alberni, the Little Bavaria Restaurant is the place to be!

We issue a special invitation to visitors to our beautiful part of the world to stop in and enjoy our hospitality on the way to To� no and Ucluelet and the rugged beauty of the Paci� c Rim National Park (Long Beach).

Choose from a wide variety of toppings, including fresh handchopped vegetables and meats. Baked to perfection at extreme temperatures directly on hot-stone oven decks, Rocco’s Authentic Recipe Pizza delivers a

crispy, yet tender crust every time.

Across from the deli, sushi is served up fresh daily by the sushi masters from Blue Ginger. Popular California and dynamite rolls as well as other signature sushi rolls, nigiri, sunomono, inari and other Japanese fare are offered.
