DROP ANCHOR, TAKE A SEAT AND
WE’LL DO THE COOKING

YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD RESTAURANT,
IN DESOLATION SOUND

LOCALLY INSPIRED. FRESH + SEASONAL

We work with local producers who help ensure every plate at Refuge Dockside Kitchen has a sense of this special place

  • Gathered Farm — Fresh, organic produce grown + harvested with care and gathered from the qathet region. Their seasonal bounty keeps our menu bright, vibrant and utterly local.

  • C-fin — Our trusted seafood partner, providing responsibly sourced fish and shellfish that arrive ocean-fresh and ready to shine.

  • Chopping Block — Our local butcher. Their thoughtful sourcing and homestyle roots mean better flavour, every time.

  • Townsite Brewing — Local beer on tap from nearby qathet region who pour personality and pride into every pint.

Together, these suppliers and partners help us cook with integrity, support our community, and serve dishes that taste like home.

MENU
A table with various Mexican dishes including grilled jalapeño peppers with lemon wedge, a bowl of ceviche topped with chopped herbs, a dish of hummus garnished with edible flower petals and olive oil, a bowl of chips, and a salad with cherry tomatoes and lettuce.

RESERVATIONS

We take a limited number or reservations each day, with the remainder of our seating available for walk-ins. If you wish to make a reservation, please e-mail reservations@refugegroup.ca

RESERVATION BY DONATION PROGRAM
Those wishing to make a reservation are invited to participate in our Reservation by Donation program.

Due to the limited amount of reservations available daily, we are proud to offer this program as a way for our guests to give back to community projects that are near and dear to our hearts.

With a suggested donation of $5 per seat, you can contribute to one of two local Refuge Cove projects:

1) Refuge Cove Harbour Society: a not-for-profit that manages and maintains the public-access marina infrastructure for all who visit

2) Refuge Cove Land & Housing Co-op: support shared infrastructure improvements for the 18-family off-grid community that generously shares this unique harbour with us all

*participation in this program is optional

100% of your donation goes directly to the project you choose. We cover all administrative and transaction costs, so that every dollar makes a difference.

SINCE LAUNCHING THIS INITIATIVE IN 2023, OUR GUESTS HAVE RAISED OVER $6,000 FOR VARIOUS LOCAL CHARITIES + PROJECTS. THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF THIS SHARED EFFORT.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO HOSTING YOU
