Longwood Brew Pub & Restaurant is yet another culinary gem in the Nanaimo region. It is a huge building, with a grand dining room on the top floor and pub on the lower floor. It is usually quite busy and fun. They have quite a variety of their own home brew on tap and one of the best ways to sample them is to get the sample serving of 4 different glasses of their brew. I had family visit this last summer and the sample serving was well appreciated. The food is excellent. The regular menu is quite good, but be sure to check the daily specials. On one visit, the Pork Belly appetizer special of the day was outstanding in every way. The pork loin dinner special with a blueberry brandy reduction, roast potatoes, pureed peas and seasonal vegetables were ali sumptuous. Suffice to say, that the daily specials are well worth considering. The only thing I would change is their website menu presentation, which I find a bit cumbersome to navigate. That and the extensive and luxurious desserts they offer are also completely missing on the website, which is a real shame as they have one of Nanaimo's most stunning assortments of sweet treats, including banana tempura with ice cream and an exquisitely decadent and utterly delicious Baked Alaska. In all honesty, had I known they served Baked Alaska, I'd have checked them out more than a year earlier than I did. I've included an image of their dessert menu with this review... you're welcome.
