Museum and good food
June 16, 2014The burger was drip down your elbow good. The view of the Bay was awesome - we were lucky to be on the deck, but under covering from sun. The museum was also free and showed great community spirit. Fun time.

Ok
June 10, 2014Me and my boyfriend ordered 2 burgers with fries. It was good, but not excellent (the fries were the best part). We were the only people in the restaurant at dinnertime, but the staff was great. We have yet to give it another try, but we will and hopefully the food will be a bit better.

Amazing
June 08, 2014We've been to Cowichan Bay many times, but this was our first time to the Cow Café. It for sure will not be our last. The waitress was very pleasant and personable. She apologized for the slowness of the food, but we hadn't even noticed - we were sitting on the deck in the sunshine, with a great view of... more

Great food & Great People
April 13, 2014This was our first time at the Cow Cafe and was pleasantly surprised. The decor isn't that great but has a large menu, the food was plentiful and very tasty. Our waitress (Tyra) made our visit a good one. She was very friendly and answered all of our questions about the Lake Cowichan area. Thanks Tyra....we will be back.

Fair to middling
April 07, 2014We were interested to try a new-to-us place for lunch in Lake Cowichan, hoping for a surprise in the Cow Cafe. Unfortunately, we found it OK, but generally a bit disappointing. The food was average and painted cement block walls said it all. On the plus side, the staff were friendly and keen to please.

Great place to eat
March 03, 2014The Cow Cafe has a varied menu and monthly specials that are worth going for. We send our clients here for dinners and they are always satisfied.

Will not go back
January 06, 2014We have been disapointed several times at the Cow as have many others and we will not be going back. Too bad as it used to be very good a few years ago.

Excellent Spot
September 26, 2013This little café should not be overlooked. The food was inventive and tasty. The serving staff were friendly and attentive. Clearly, the chef is turning out a first class meal in a pub format. The Calamari Diablo was an excellent spin on the classic calamari dish with pepper and onions. Portions are large and Thursday night is two for 1... more

a day off the rock
April 17, 2013I look forward to short trips off my island retreat and as Cowachin Bay is not too far it is a quick and rewarding mini trip. Cow Cafe has a small and cozy atmosphere and GREAT homemade food. It is definitely something to look forward too.

The place to go in Lake Cowichan
December 10, 2012We come here often for the great food. It's fresh, seasonal, and delicious. There are always good specials going such as Ribtober fest. Whenever we have people visiting, we bring them here.

Village with great food
December 08, 2012Despite the name, the food was very good and large proportions. Would definitely recommend. Across the street from the restaurant is a large parking lot (not very often full except sometimes in the summer from what I understand) and then the lake; so as long as the parking lot is not full you have a very nice scenic view so... more

Evening meal at the Cow Cafe
September 03, 2012
We were very happy to discover that the Cow Cafe was open on a Sunday night in Lake Cowichan.
My first impression was "sticky"...the fake naugahyde felt sticky, the menus when they came looked like they could use an overhaul, but I chalked it up to it being the end of a busy summer.
Our server was very friendly and...

Interesting combinations
July 24, 2012Went here for supper - had the Cow Classic Burger with a green salad side. The burger was great, but the salad was fantastic. Most restaurants have a very simple green side salad, but this one had microgreens and other (delicious) add-ins I couldn't identify. The balsamic vinegrette dressing was fantastic. Good value for the price and not your typical... more

Very good food and awesome service
March 19, 2012We were back @ the lake with my father for a few days of rest and relaxation and visited a few restaurants while we were there. Was the hubby's birthday and decided to go back to the Cow Cafe for dinner. Hubby and dad had ribs, and they both agreed that once again, the Cow Cafe delivered nice, tender, fall... more

Great lunch, good service & worth a visit
October 04, 2011We stopped for lunch during a recent trip to Cowichan Lake. The soup I ordered was delicious. My husbands sandwich was also delicious. After we had eaten the server was helping us find out where local places were and was very helpful and friendly. We would go back again.

Wow! Great recommendation
September 26, 2011
My self, my husband, and my 7 year old went here on the recommendation of the front desk clerk at the hotel when we asked where we could get a good burger. After looking at the menu, no one had burgers!
The servers were extremely knowledgeable about the menu and the specials for the day. And I really appreciated that...
