Mouth Watering dishes, quaint atmosphere. One of Shawnigan Lake's Gems! This restaurant is a favorite for locals. At the moment they are Take-out Only. In comparison to R-Harn Thai Restaurant also in Shawnigan.... Montra has more vegetables in their dishes. My regular order is the Prawn Thai or the red curry, Chicken Panang! 😋😋

Waterfront dining in relaxing Mill Bay. It's about a 20 min drive from here but worth the trip if you've never been. Keep your eyes peeled for seals and maybe an orca!

Great views of Cowichan Bay! Consistent food keeps the locals coming back. Keep your eyes on the water to the right of the bay. Transient Orcas come in looking for seals! You might just spot the pod.

If you are looking for authentic Thai this is your place. In comparison to Montra Thai Eatery I would say there are less vegetables in their dishes. They do have a sit in service whereas Montra is take-out only.
