Restaurants

Port Alberni has many wonderful restaurants; some of them hidden away in majestic places. Visit us at the Visitor Center to find any of these jewels. The ones on this page are Members of the Alberni Valley Chamber of Commerce. We are pleased to recommend any of these to you. The background picture identifies Little Bavaria Restaurant which has been in operation for more than 50 years! Current ownership for close to 20 years! Kathy, who will most likely visit your table confirms that Visitors to Port Alberni often make their reservation at Little Bavaria BEFORE planning their trip to the area. Once the reservation is confirmed.....then they book their flights. It's that good, and so are many others!
