Sooke Harbour House, which is well represented in Pacific Northwest Wining & Dining with a lovely recipe for Coriander-Crusted Albacore Tuna and several photos (including one of the back cover shots!), won the gold medal for Best Restaurant on Vancouver Island at the Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards in April. According to SHH proprietor, and our good buddy, Sinclair Philip, “This is the biggest restaurant event of the year in British Columbia. Sooke Harbour House has won this award every year since Vancouver Magazine began their awards program.”

In related news, in January 2008, Travel & Leisure named SHH One of Canada’s Top Five Hotels.
