Pilgrimme

I have never had a better meal in my life.
Eating at this restaurant is an experience that every person should get to have. The ambiance is intimate, with only about 24 seats in dining room, and the service is so friendly and helpful you feel like you’re among friends.
We had yellow pea panisse with pickled Galiano vegetables, duck and pheasant country pâté with a cherry sauce, and an order of potato bread, pickled and smoked herring with charred radicchio and Galiano apples in vinegar, and beef heart tartar with duck egg and powdered seaweed. We spent about 45 minutes talking about which dish was our favourite and could not pick. The flavours were complex and sophisticated, and developed through a variety of cooking and preserving techniques, but the food was so completely shaped by Galiano Island that it really simply told the story of life on the Island.
I can’t wait for my next visit.

True food artistry mixed with passion, talent and execution. The biggest take away was the connection to the West Coast in all the flavours. House marinated olives with fir tips were the best I’ve ever tasted. The pickled and fermented veg in various dishes was perfectly pickled and tasted like it was picked in the garden, pickled and served on the table. The Galliano slow cooked venison was amazingly tender. The last course was marinated sour cherries and a mouth watering housemade dark chocolate truffle. Overall a sublime food experience with heart warming service to go with the food. Worthy of all the accolades.

We went there for brunch… amazing location and food to match, you won. t be disappointed.

Are you a foodie? Are you on Galiano Island? Then you must go to Pilgrimme​. There is an artist in the kitchen, or perhaps a wizard. Unbelievable fresh ingredients, lovingly treated, to bring out their best. Be surprised and delighted! Not fussy, just exquisite. Just wow.
