About Genoa Bay Café:
A visit to Genoa Bay would not be complete without a meal at Genoa Bay Café. Perched on the water's edge overlooking the marina, the café offers five-star cuisine in a casual atmosphere. It has 40 indoor seats and another 30 on the seaside deck.

Our menus provide a variety of choice and showcase the foods of Vancouver Island and the Pacific Northwest. We are proud to feature local seafood such as our Saltspring Island mussels, and seasonal specials such as fresh halibut and spot prawns. Favourite starters include our West Coast seafood chowder loaded with the bounty of our local waters, and a new Valley favourite, Chef Cartner’s signature calamari. For the main course our regular guests rave about our free-range chicken breast, premium steaks, and of course, halibut and chips (our fries are hand-cut daily from fresh Kennebec potatoes!).
