Shockingly, this is a great spot for breakfast! I'm from Port Alberni, born and raised, and was hesitant to try this place because I remember it as "the Arli". But don't be fooled! Portions were very generous, the food was well cooked and seasoned deliciously! Definitely give it a try.I had the cheese omelette (with onions jalapenos and peppers), my husband had the eggs Benny. Both were delish, and we had leftovers, which we never usually do! Way better than boomerangs or pescadores.The place is super ugly and dingy inside but food was yummy, staff were friendly and provided good service.We will be back!
