Reviews for The Lakehouse at Shawnigan in Shawnigan Lake, BC

The only thing better than the atmosphere and views is the food. Their menu has something for everyone and all of it is... incredible including the drinks. Cannot wait to come back in the summer months! Read more

This place is an experience. The nostalgia of the decor mixes perfectly with modern flavours. Everything we had was amazing.... There is not a bad dish on the menu!! Pictured is Fly Me To The Moon, my gin cocktail, and a Peach ale. We had kids pasta,Caesar salad, peach and soppressata crostini, and 2 fried chicken sandwiches. My only complaint is that I was too full to havedessert! Read more

Another great spot in The Cowichan Valley. Since moving here, we've been amazed at the quality restaurants in the area. Staff... here are amazing and super friendly. The food could easily be in a 5 star spot in downtown Vancouver, but it's here... atShawnigan Lake. Casual and comfortable surroundings... fantastic views of the lake... and killer food! Oh yeah... thecocktails are tasty and creative as well. Adding the Lake House to our list of go to spots! Don't miss it. Read more

The pork bites from heaven! Must stop and grab a bite. The perfect mix of charm, staff, view and food. Will go back for sure..I... bought 3 orders of those pork bites that just melts on your mouth. Read more

We booked a reservation on a weekday to celebrate a birthday at the Lakehouse last summer. It was our first time trying this... place after reading many good reviews about it. The food was excellent. Most of the dishes were enjoyed thoroughly. We had thewatermelon salad, tomato salad as well as the trout and artichoke dip for our appetizers. The watermelon salad particularlystood out. It was refreshing and all the savoury flavours worked well with the sweetness of the watermelon. For our mains weordered the Short Ribs, Lamb Pasta and Halibut. The short ribs were by far the best dish of the night. It was tender and thesauce was super flavourful. The halibut was done perfectly, buttery flakey but also moist. On the other hand the lamb pasta wasjust okay. The pasta could have used a bit more seasoning, the garlic toast was extremely burnt but was still served. Serviceoverall was a mix bag. We were greeted by a friendly hostess when we checked in but still had to wait 15 minutes before we wereseated, despite having a reservation. It also took almost half an hour of waiting before our server (or anyone) came tointroduce themselves. Between appetizers and our mains was another half hour wait for our food. There was also noacknowledgement from the staff that we were celebrating a birthday either. That being said our server was extremely funny andnice. Read more

We came here for lunch as we love eating on the lake with a great view. The service was good. My wife is pregnant and although... the cocktail menu is great, there wasn't alot of options for non alcoholic beverages besides coffee and tea. They did make hera non alcoholic ceasar which was tasty. I enjoyed the breakfast sandwich and my wife had the waffles which were good as well. In the summer time they have a great patio. Read more

Great location and friendly staff. We had window seats looking out onto the lake. Covid screens are up and are nice looking.... The food was nice to look at though we both found them to be a bit bland. No salt and pepper at the table but she asked if wewould like some. I should have said yes. Bathroom was small but clean. Overall a great experience and I will go back, perhapsfor dinner and the very intriguing cocktail menu.. Read more
