17 Mile House Pub

SOOKE. Since 1894 this pub and restaurant, located 17 miles from Victoria City Hall, has welcomed weary travelers and local revelers alike. The cozy atmosphere includes a 150-year-old piano (slightly out of tune!), darts in the game room and chess by the fire. After a day of hiking in nearby Sooke Harbour Park, eat a hearty supper served overlooking the garden. Local seafood specialties include shellfish bouillabaisse, peel and eat prawns or teriyaki sesame salmon. There are also ample beef, pasta and poultry selections. For dessert, don't miss the homemade pies.
