Wolf in the Fog

Casual fine dining.

Don’t let the surfboard sunburst, mismatched plates, or plaid-shirted servers fool you—Tofino’s newest eatery Wolf in the Fog is anything but casual. The two-storey cedar-clad room is a culinary gem in the tiny surf town, its principals trained in fine dining at the Wickaninnish Inn’s Pointe Restaurant.

Nick Nutting, Jorge Barandiaran, and Andre McGillivray’s latest effort is truly a reflection of their passion for the region. Chef Nutting and his culinary pack take inspiration from the abundance of local and wild ingredients and fresh seafood found in the area. Nutting’s family-style plates, well presented, brim with flavour, colour, and texture. Unique wine offerings paired by Peruvian grape guru and front of house maestro Barandiaran only add to the enjoyment. Expansive ocean views, contemporary light fixtures, and distinct works of art cap off this island treasure.
