  Incredible meal, hard to describe. Umami bomb of a radicchio dish, with a fermented herring twist. An incredible amuse Bouche of reindeer lichen that melted and crackled in your mouth. More umami bombs of shallot with smoked beef heart and liver grated over the top. World class Nordic meets Gulf islands. Even the bread was out of this world, a charred potato bread with burnt onion butter.

  Discovering the restaurant Pilgrimme tucked away on our small island an hour from Vancouver is like finding a treasure in a secret garden. The chef who received some of his training at Noma, and last year won an award as one of Canada's ten best new restaurants, produces an ever changing menu - the most extraordinary combinations of foraged and local ingredients. One comes away feeling one has eaten the beautiful forests of Galiano provided the forest was composed of creamy duck egg, spotted shrimp, roasted leek, local mushrooms, reindeer lichen and chocolate mousse to die for. I would list my favourite dishes but it is always a new experience and I have never been disappointed. Meals are shared dishes so it is a taster's delight - always beginning with one of their wonderful handmade breads such as their potato bread, served with honey or seasoned butter. This is truly our Noma restaurant in Canada, and it won't break the budget. This restaurant has a well deserved popularity so we always make a reservation before returning to the island.
