Small, friendly place, food that schmecks. I had the Reuben, partner had the Thai wrap. Excellent. That say “we’re not fast food” and that’s right, but it was worth the wait.

The pandemic has affected restaurants everywhere and Quadra is no exception. We wanted to have lunch with another couple who were here on a Thursday. So many places are limiting their availability to Friday, Saturday and Sunday so it was quite a search. Add to...that one customer with very strict dietary needs. Well, we found Kameleon and are we glad we did. Four people, four different orders and all were delicious. The gluten free bun was, to our friend, awesome and unlike others she has experienced which have been crumbly. My Rueben sandwich featured local smoked meat that was absolutely delicious. I've eaten at Kameleon before and had their beet salad which is amazing. Because we ate ourside, we were able to bring our companion pup along and our server even made sure he had cool water on a hot day. Thanks, Kameleon!More

Worth visiting Quadra Island just to have lunch here. We had lunch here several times over the summer and the food and service was exceptional everytime. The Buddha Burger is especially delicious!

If you want creamy mushroom soup and beet salad, then do not eat here. Their creamy mushroom soup is basically broth with some mushroom mixed in and served at a room temperature. The beet salad had no beets and the chicken thai wrap was one...piece of chicken and loads of rice and also not warm. But they did follow covid rules which was a plus, they also close a 3 pmMore

We enjoyed our lunch at this charming restaurant. I had an invigorating cappuccino with almond milk and the dragon bowl: marinated grilled tofu greens cabbage, and a hefty portion of brown rice. Delicious spicy dressing. Hubby had a veggie burger spicy with kidney beans and...African peanut soup. Folks at the table beside us were eating Rueben sandwiches with meat and cheese (not vegan). So some good options for different tastes. It's a small space so be prepared to wait if they are busy. Love it.More

Exceptional Thai chicken wrap with delicious side salad and tahini dressing. Everything is homemade and it tastes fantastic. Had read great reviews and it didn't disappointment. Will definitely come again. And the waitress and chef were charming and friendly. I was one of their last...customers before closing and they were very gracious and didn't make me feel rushed. They made me feel at home.More

One of us is a vegan, and the other vegetarian, and we were both amazed. The soup was so tasty, very fresh and creative food, which often one doesn't find for vegetarian fare. The atmosphere was quiet and friendly. The service was fantastic, so much...so that the review saying she was inattentive must definitely be for a different restaurant-- this does happen so time. While we were there, a disabled diner who was in a wheelchair finished eating, and the server took him outside to the taxi. This sort of thing is so impressive about Canada. Note, I checked no good for dinner because it closes at 3pm.More

If you're tired of the usual cafe fare, this is a great place to try. It has indoor and outdoor seating, a friendly wait staff, and an eclectic menu with lots of healthy but delicious options. My husband and I both had the taco salad,...made with spicy beans instead of meat. I highly recommend it.More

Our waitress was horrid on every level. Inattentive, condescending, mouthy and surly. She made it known that we weren't welcome, and that serving us was a compulsory chore she would rather not be doing. I feel badly for the owners if this person deals with...all customers this way. The food was decent, even though they were out of several things we wanted to order, but our experience was ruined by the service staff. Next time I visit my family on Quadra, I will go elsewhere.More

The home fries were fresh and tasty with the egg bennies. Veggie bowl was advertised as yam and potato but they ran out of yams :-( Latte and Cappuccino were smooth and delicious too. Nice environment near the farmers market on Saturday morning.

I liked the feel of this place. The waitress was friendly and helpful, we originally were going to have breakfast, but the menu was not exactly what we expected for a breakfast menu, we all had a BLT which came with a bowl of 7...spice soup, both were delicious, I would go back again if we were staying longer on the island. My one gripe was that the coffee (cappuccino) was very weak, even with an extra shot, the machine it came from was preset apparently.More

They have a great selection of breakfast foods served until 1 PM and they try to use local ingredients. The service was quick and friendly. I wish they would serve lunch items too.

Hi Nancy, we are right up the hill from Whiskey Point Resort in the plaza on Harper Rd (right between the medical clinic and the library). It is definitely within walking distance. Thanks and hope to see you soon!
