Your trip is too short to wait for a table!

SoBo used to be a groovy, purple roadside truck that attracted starving surfers and eco-minded foodies with the fresh and inventive “sophisticated street food” of chef Lisa Ahier. A sunny, family-friendly restaurant since 2007, the basics are as scrumptious as ever.

After a refreshing hike along the windswept shores of nearby Long Beach, tuck into the generous killer fish taco ($13), a homemade blue corn tortilla stuffed with seasonal, sustainable fish du jour (whatever is fresh that day, often a whitefish or salmon) and topped with cool fruit salsa made with seasonal ingredients. Ahier takes pride in using local suppliers, including Vancouver Island farms, small-scale fisheries and plenty of certified-organic produce.
