The Ravenous Raven Lodge and Restaurant

Amazing food and service. It was our first time on Texada Island. Quality food and drinks. Support your local businesses!

I reside in downtown Vancouver, a neighborhood renowned for its numerous vegan dining choices. However, this restaurant served me the most amazing vegan burger I have ever tasted. Despite dining out frequently, I have never encountered a burger that compares to this one. The chickpea quinoa burger is a must-try. Don't wait, try it now.

It felt like we were dining in a cozy cabin. We visited around 3pm and it was fairly quiet, with only a few people coming in to pick up their orders. The restaurant is decorated with Raven-themed decor throughout. The food, particularly the clam chowder, was delicious. I look forward to trying their Raven cream ale on my next visit.

This is the upscale restaurant of the two on Texada Island. During my visit, I dined here several times with friends. The atmosphere is pleasant, with a lot of exposed wood. The standout dish for me was the halibut and fries (regular fries, not poutine). The dumplings with spicy sauce served as an appetizer were also delicious. However, the steak I tried one night was disappointing - it was small, dry, and tough. This restaurant is better known for its seafood than its beef. I was informed by locals that the previous chef had moved to the mainland, resulting in a slight decline in the quality of the food. I wish I could have experienced this place under the former chef. If I come back to the island, I will definitely eat here again.

While staying on a Texada for a vacation we visited this restaurant a few times. It's located near the beach in Gillies Bay in a bright, modern building. They have a regular menu plus a feature sheet everyday so there is a great selection to choose from. We had 5 in our party and everyone really enjoyed their food from fish and chips, burgers to seafood pasta. It was all great!
