Anglers Dining Room at Dolphins Resort

The dining room at a small resort on Discovery Passage north of Campbell River, with a menu built on local seafood and a view of the channel the whale boats work. A quiet, comfortable dinner after a long day on the water.

Campbell River is not a food town, and after eight hours on a grizzly boat what you want is a good dinner close to bed. Anglers, at Dolphins Resort on the water north of the centre, is the reliable answer: a proper dining room, seafood from the coast, and windows on Discovery Passage where the current runs past like a river.

The resort's cabins are among the nicer places to stay in Campbell River for exactly this reason.
