Oh Canada: Tofino

June 6, 2015 Melanie Abrantes

My first class was at Merge Artisan Collective in Tofino, BC! It was a small sleepy surf town filled with the most amazing people! I really think I fell in love guys, both Dan and I know we will visit again in the future! We stayed at an adorable B&B in the town called the Emerald Forest. She baked us fresh bed in the morning with fruit, jam and granola. By far some of the best meals I ate there! We only had time to go to the beach once but it was still such a treat to be there, we did a hike that one of the locals suggested which turned out to be harder than we thought!

Everyone in town though were so sweet! The service and people we met made us feel right at home. Not to mention they had an unusual foodie scene for such a small town, so the food and cafes were absolutely exceptional! You must try Kuma Tofino, Tacofino, Wolf in the Fog, Sobo Restaurant and Shelter Restaurant. For japanese comfort food, Kuma has you covered, their karage chicken and green tea brownies were out of this world! Either way Tofino stole my heart <3!
