SoBo is my favourite restaurant on the island - and if it were on the mainland, it still would be.

Their fish and chicken tacos are to die for (really, to DIE for), filled with complementary flavours that are hard to describe. It's like a mouthful of every great taste you can imagine (from mangoes and rosemary to lavander and basil). They even make cilantro taste good (and I can't stand cilantro).

Their Ahi tuna is seared to perfection and their chowders and soups are hearty and absolutely scrumptious; (you can eat them with a fork.) The way they fuse spices and ingredients together is simply a product of the miraculous.

It's the best place to relish in the flavours of the *true* Westcoast cuisine.

I was introduced to SoBo back in the day when its location was in the Botanical Gardens. I must admit I preferred that location because it was in the midst of nature (which is why most people visit Tofino); however, the new location's floor-to-ceiling windows do the trick, too.
SoBo stands for "Sophisticated Bohemian", so after all, the new location is just as fitting, really.
(And the sea cucumber on the men's bathroom door is a testament to their undying bohemianism!)

I recommend going there for lunch - unless you're a wine-o!
