Powell River Restaurants

Powell River is home to a surprisingly diverse restaurant scene, with many visitors happy to stay an extra day or two to soak up the laid back ambiance

Pub Style Food

The Lund Hotel Pub

Probably the best pub view on the Sunshine Coast! The Lund Hotel is 30 minutes north of Powell River, and 15 minutes from our Okeover Inlet launch site.

This traditional pub has a great history and serves seafood, burgers, pastas and other meals with incredible marine views of Savary Island, the Strait of Georgia, and Vancouver Island off to the west.

The Shingle Mill

The Shingle Mill Pub & Bistro is located on Powell Lake near the Powell River Townsite. The beautiful waterfront location serves great pub-style food and seafood.

The current site used to contain an old mill that produced shingles for Powell River houses. The restaurant is currently found next to the only marina on Powell Lake, making it a great place to people watch in the summer as locals and tourists come and go from their cabins ‘up the lake’.
