    Took the 40 Minute ferry from Port McNeill to Alert Bay with our bicycles to check out Cormorant Island and what was supposed to be (and was) a very cool First Nations museum on the Island. We rode our bikes around Alert Bay and we're glad we took the day trip, it was well worth our time.

    What we did not expect was to find a place to eat as good as Pass N Thyme. The lovely K ordered the Clubhouse with fries, and I the Grill Cheese with salad. What caught my eye on the menu was the three cheeses in the sandwich. Now we see that at places like Burgoo in Vancouver but Alert Bay?

    Turns out they make their own bread, buns and if they make their own bread and it tastes as good as it did you are in for a treat.

    Our waitress was attentive, took our order promptly, smiled and did all of the things good wait staff do.

    The food was excellent, fresh and well prepared.

    A real treat! Do yourselves a favour if you are in Alert Bay and give Pass N Thyme a chance, you'll be very glad you did!

    I found this restaurant to be a little overrated.
    Very pricey, and I was very disappointed in what they called a Greek salad. Really nothing more than a bunch of spinach and black olives. A few slices of tomato and cucumber, very thin slices, placed around the edge of the bowl.
    The garlic shrimp were served in an overly creamy sauce.
    The service was excellent, and because they're on the second floor it has a nice view.

    Pass'n Thyme is one of the best restaurants in the north island region and your go-to restaurant on Alert Bay.  We had dinner there our first night in town after a long day of travel and also lunch the following day. The food was wonderful and so was the service.  The folks who operate this place are so nice!  The members of our group all loved their food and tried the Thai Chicken Salad, Thai Chicken Wrap, Chicken Parmesan and several other items.  And the Rhubarb Pie was delightful!

    Pretty much your best and one of your only choices in Alert Bay. However, this does not mean there is any sacrifice in quality of food and service. I've been coming up here for several years every winter and always find them to have good food, great service plus a nice atmosphere. The restaurant is family owned and run, which is really awesome! Everything there is always good, although I especially like the dessert. Be sure to check their hours as during the off season they can vary.
