King's Cafe is now OPEN on Haliburton street in Nanaimo. Located in the old Balmoral Hotel, it specializes in fish and chips, and other seafood. The owner, Gregg Hoffstad also plans to sell fresh/frozen seafood. Seeing as he used to make his living as a commercial fisherman, he has good sources for fresh product.
The atmosphere is 'laid back' ... kind of a 50s cafe/diner. The decor is eclectic - from faux Coke lampshades, to fishing floats and nets and rods, to old musical instruments ... It's the kind of space where folks will feel welcome to sit and visit and relax over a meal or cup of coffee.
Gregg is planning to host special events. Maybe an evening to watch a movie on a big screen? I'm sure live music featuring local musicians will be on tap as well. Right now background music is provided by an old turntable and record albums. If you don't find what you like, drop into Heritage Music at the bottom of the street where you can find most any album ever produced. Bring it on in and drop it on the platter!
Gregg's menu also features hearty breakfasts. The front window offers a great view of south Nanaimo harbour.
Come on Down!
