“ I ordered the soup sampler, it was lovely to try a variety of soups and the inside of the cafe was cozy. The food was tasty but a little light on the seasonings. Would definitely recommend stopping by to try the sampler and enjoy the atmosphere! ”

“ The name says it well. Real food. This is my first time walking into to the Real food Cafe. It is a down to earth, owner operated business. You can tell they are directly invested in the operation and product. The food; Well thought out. Hand crafted. Great flavors. Care was taken in the presentation. The cheesecake, Oh man! The best I've ever had. All the desserts looked equally good Reading other reviews, I would suggest people walk in with the understanding that this isn't Tim Hortans. Your paying for something clearly executed by someone with culinary skills. This takes time and effort. This is real food how it should be. Spend a few more dollars and enjoy. ”

“ We had lunch at this great cafe. It was absolutely delicious. I had cauliflower and blue cheese soup and salad and my husband had an original chicken sandwich and corn chowder. We shared a piece of carrot cake for dessert. The food was top notch as was the service. Highly recommended. ”

“ The Real Food Cafe was absolutely perfect for a chilly October afternoon. We ordered the soup sampler which came with 3 small soups and garlic bread, all of it was incredibly delicious. We also ordered the BBQ chicken sandwich which was full of flavour and, ha, real food. Nothing processed, all whole food ingredients, like going to Gran's house for some home cooking. They also have a freezer full of frozen soups so we took 4 of them to go, and a piece of cake - all made in house. Absolutely will come again the next time we visit Nanaimo! ”

“ The soup and sandwich I chose was excellent. Grilled cheese with caramelized onions and ham n cheese soup, immediately it hit me, the food had flavour. First place in Nanaimo that every bite left me wanting another bite, I had to try the cheese cake, so good so creamy !! If you have a restaurant in Nanaimo, go to this place and discover flavour. ”
