Pluvio restaurant + rooms

09/03/2026

Our little team works incredibly hard through the busy summer months, and taking care of the people who take such good care of Pluvio is very important to us.

This late-summer care package went out to everyone this week, filled with fresh Island vegetables, local eggs, and herbs from our garden.

We’ll also be closed September 28th, 29th, and 30th for our annual team getaway. A few days together to eat, explore, laugh, relax, and celebrate another summer season.

Thank you Pluvio team, you truly are the best! ❤️

Another treat courtesy of our friends Eboni and Lyle at Sproat Lake Farms.

Heritage Rare Breed Pork, Red Pepper Koji Kombucha Glaze, Unearthed Organics’ Heirloom Beans, Okanagan Peaches, ‘Tatlo Road Farm’ Tomatoes and Purslane, Garden Rosemary.

This dish uses every part of pork, with a rotating cut and the bones used to make the sauce.

We’re so happy to welcome Teagan to the Pluvio team!

Teagan made the move from Sooke to Ucluelet in June.

With a bright smile and genuine care for her guests, Teagan’s been a wonderful addition to our team.

Fun fact: Teagan grew up raising bees on her family’s meadery, which was the first meadery in Western Canada! 🐝🌼🍯🍾

For those that don’t already know him, this is Dennis.

However, if you are from Vancouver or have dined in Vancouver in the last few years, you probably already do.

Dennis joined our team in February, and we can safely say he is the most well known person to have worked here.

It turns out, guests will travel to Ucluelet for Dennis!

Dennis still has some gripes about Ukee (don’t ask him about the grocery selection) and misses some things about Vancouver, but otherwise he’s thriving out here!

Thanks for making Ukee home Dennis!

Our current first course is a celebration of Vancouver Island.

The menu description is deceptively simple:
‘Chilled Pacific Seafood, Garden Herbs, Westholme White Tea Infusion’.

What’s actually on there:
Poached Spot Prawn, Sashimi Style Octopus, Tuna Crudo, Mint Cured Salmon, Pickled Turnip, Fresh Cucumber + Radish, Salt Spring Island Citrus Kosho, Fresh Tea Leaf Condiment, White Tea + Cucumber Broth.

Every ingredient sourced from our Island or the waters surrounding us, a fresh and clean taste of right now.
