Had a delicious halibut dinner at SoBo. The presentation, preparation and flavours were perfect. The timing between courses was good and our server was knowledgeable about the preparation of the food and the descriptions of the wine. We also dined at two other places during our visit - The Spotted Bear in Tofino and Norwoods in Ucluelet (and had the... More

As always, I have to order the fish taco & miso soup.... really amazing. We also tried the tuna spring roll (new to us on this menu) perfect crispy texture. Had the Sobo size margarita, Wow, best drink to celebrate being in paradise with great food and friends - A must try. thank you!

We had the 2 chef specials, vegan tofu with bok choy and rice, and grilled octopus. Very tasty. Service was quick and friendly. Good location near the main intersection.

Cold and hungry after a whale watching trip, we stumbled upon Sobo and enjoyed one of the best meals of our trip. The vegetable soup was overflowing with crisp veggies and was packed with flavour. Our mains were just as good. This is obviously a favourite spot with locals and visitors as the place was packed but the service was... More

The food here is awesomely fresh and creatively prepared - easily stands head to head with any of the top casual farm-to-table restaurants around the world while maintaining its unique Vancouver perspective. A bright shining star in Tofino!

Yummy! Loved the decor and the options to buy soups and desserts to go. We didn't have a reservation on a Sat night and it was just a 5 min wait. We got the Buffalo and the mushroom pizza. Both were excellent and came in reasonable time. Wished we had some extra space for dessert. Next time we'll be more... More

Tucked away up the hill from the main street this fish restaurant/pizzeria is a favourite with locals and booking is advisable. I very much enjoyed the seafood chowder, followed by a Confit of duck pizza. If you can`t eat it all ask for a doggy bag!

Our first night in Tofino, we tried SoBo, and we were not disappointed. The seafood and fish were superb, the atmosphere was informal, and the service was great too. And the margarita was first-rate. We definitely recommend Sobo.

Inventive menu of locally sourced seafood and produce. Recommend the fresh oysters and seaford stew. Light, airy dining room and bar. Helpful service. Interesting wines. Undoubtedly the best food in Tofino. Reserve.
