What User doesn't like about The Cafe at Large:
Sorry but nothing special here. The beef in the carne taco was just tasteless boring shoulder cut or something. The fries were ok, if you like skinny fries with your wine. The salmon wrap was good but not exceptional. Overall OK but disappointing. I also did not feel like a valued customer and paypad wanted me to leave a tip of 15, 20, or 25%, good grief.

The Cafe at Large at Sea Star Winery on Pender Island BC is a fantastic spot for a delicious meal paired with great wine. The food is consistently excellent, with standouts like the cauliflower taco, Wagon Fries, and Boss Burger. Not pretentious, but creative and flavorful. Even if the food might be better suited for a craft brewery atmosphere, it is still a wonderful dining experience. The grilled cheese sandwich is highly recommended, served with a side of fries, and would benefit from an extra pickle. A top choice for a weekend meal with friends.
