Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Port Moody

This is a long-standing restaurant institution on The Drive. They specialize in authentic Cuban food and they do it well. Service is always prompt and courteous. And the ambiance is lively and fun. Highly recommend this East Van gem.

An excellent place! The staff are always available courteous and helpful, and the food is both delicious and quick to arrive.

We went for the Thanksgiving three course. Service was excellent. The live music was fine from where we were seated but quite loud at the staircase up to the restaurant. My companion enjoyed her salad starter. My butternut squash soup was tasty but closer to a puree in texture and it would have benefitted from a little stock or cream. The turkey dinner was very good. The turkey was moist, the mashed potatoes were smooth and the gravy added a lot of flavor. I would have preferred more veggies and less potatoes, but the proportions were pretty standard for most restaurants. The pumpkin pie was smooth and tasty, if a little cinnamon forward. It was a bit surprising but I liked it. This was our first visit to The Loft and we will definitely be going back to try brunch and prime rib night.
