The Breakwater

Introducing The Breakwater

The Kingfisher Oceanside Resort & Spa is excited to announce a new name and a new era for our restaurant, The Breakwater.  The new restaurant name speaks to the heritage of our setting; the original breakwater was formed to calm Comox Harbour so loggers could form their bounty into booms for tugs to transport. Just up the shoreline from our restaurant, more than a dozen scuttled ships served as a breakwater then and today serve as an iconic reminder of the perils that faced coastal pioneers. Naming the Kingfisher Oceanside Resort & Spa’s restaurant, “The Breakwater”  speaks of the restaurant’s proximity to the ocean, as well as the rich history of the Comox Valley.

Executive Chef Troy Fogarty and the staff invite you to enjoy the warm atmosphere, friendly service, and fresh, creative West Coast cuisine in the Oceanside Breakwater restaurant or on the summer patio — all with one of the best views in the Pacific Northwest.

We’re committed to bringing you the bounty of Vancouver Island.

The surrounding waters are famed for salmon, halibut, sable-fish, shrimp, crab, mussels, oysters, clams and more .

In our mild climate we can grow a vast range of vegetables, fruits, and herbs… to say nothing of the wild foods that pop up without anyone’s help. We know the farmers and foragers who supply us.

The beauty of the Island attracts people who aim to produce truly wonderful food, and their cheeses, breads, meats, and poultry prove that they’re doing just that.

Add the finesse of a seasoned Executive Chef who grew up on Vancouver Island and honed his skills at some of BC’s finest dining rooms and you know you’ll be savouring the best this region has to offer.

Take a look inside our new menu, featuring local ingredients in every dish.
