The Shelter looks like somewhere to be avoided, but the people pouring into this popular eatery provided a sense of intrigue as to what it was like to eat there. Whilst a group of six of us had no reservation, after a short 10-minute wait, our table was ready in the upstairs of this very modern and stylish restaurant. Dress was acceptable casual and in tofino - given the sometimes inclement weather, they seem to take the laid-back attitude towards dressing for dinner. Wines available included a good range of Canadian wines as well as European and Australian. If you are not too hungry, they have a good selection of small meals, and if you could eat a small pony, then there are meals of that size to tempt your appetite. Shellfish and fish are popular dishes as always, but so too are salads, pasta, or steaks. The Shelter is a hospitable place to eat and certainly a popular local place - which must be a good sign! Try it and see!
