Killer Whale Cafe

Vancouver Island


Part of the sprawling Telegraph Cove Resort, Killer Whale Cafe is the cove's best eatery – the salmon, mussel and prawn linguine is recommended. Aim for a window seat in this creaky-floored heritage building so you can gaze over the marina. There's usually a salmon barbecue fired up outside in the summer.
