Most of the year, we serve full breakfasts each morning in the guest common
/ breakfast room, beside the bright bay window with glimpses of the ocean,
and opposite the window with the view of Mount Brenton. Breakfasts will be
home-cooked, with house specialties. They will fill you up and satisfy you
right through lunch! Your hosts will provide insider information not to be
found at other forms of accommodation. Interesting conversations around the
breakfast table are an integral part of your stay. Let Rick help after breakfast
with directions, or have Michaela book your dinner at a restaurant of your
choice. We have many suggestions for activities, dining and attractions because
we're locals, and have the inside scoop! Plus we do our share of networking
with many Cowichan Valley businesses and try to get great deals for our guests.

Breakfast at A Scented Garden B&B includes a healthy fruit serving, yoghurts,
puddings and sometimes a dollop of cream accompanying fresh fruits, or fruit
salads. Each dish is a sweet surprise.
Our entrees are famous for the presentation. Fresh flower garnishes and herbs
straight from the garden accompany your serving, and sometimes a colourful
corner of green, yellow and red tidbits of peppers, tomatoes or fruit pieces.
Different entrees are served each day, with a sampling of our menus below...

The Encore: As a delightful finishing touch, a selection of bite-sized
muffins, tarts, biscotti pieces, wafers, brownies, fruits, etc. is served
after your entrée.
Simple Fare Breakfast Choice: Traditional B&B fare provides a
hearty, filling and sumptuous breakfast. Most guests eagerly anticipate the
luxury of whipped-cream topped French toast, or hash-brown quiche. Indeed
many would be sorely disappointed with plainer fare, but there are those who
prefer a much more simple start to their day. If you are a toast and cereal
type of person, there is always a selection of alternate simple foods on the
buffet table such as…
muffins, scones, croissants, cheddar cheese slices, yogurt, fruit salad, home
made whole wheat toast, bagel, toasted English muffin and cereals. Of course,
juices and preserves, coffee and tea are always at the table.
Our aim is to provide a comprehensive, enjoyable breakfast for everyone.
Come and experience the essence of a great BC Bed & Breakfast. Chat for
a while at breakfast and perhaps finish your tea in a garden courtyard listening
to the local birds.
