Mahle House - Nanaimo District

We had our wedding at the Mahle House on July 29, 2023; which was fitting as my wife and I had our first dinner together at this restaurant 13 years years prior.Many thanks to Tara and Stephen and their team; as they made our wedding day amazing! We had our wedding service and photos in the spectacular garden, and only needed to provide chairs to complete a beautiful venue.We had Champagne service before and after the ceremony followed by an amazing four course dinner in the dining room.We had 55 guests attend our wedding and it was special to here all the great comments about the service and the amazing food. Anyone looking for an elegant venue for your special occasion we highly recommend the Mahle House. Best experience ever!Ryan and Donna Webber

We had a splendid time at Mahle.Porcupine prawns: fresh and chewey prawns coated with crusty phyllo pastry served with wasabi mayo. The savory mayo cleansed the greasiness of the dish.Mushroom Ricotta Cannelloni:The mushroom filling is so flavourful and rich. The fried portabello is juicy on the inside and not to mention the small tomatoes on the side. They are tremendously fresh and sweet.House smoked duck breast:Unlike other restaurants, the medium duck breast are seasoned lightly so the unami flavour of the meat can stand out from the dish. The onion puree is so sweet and appealing.Creme brulee napolean:Crusty napolean phyllo layered with light vanilla bean custard and caramel sauce. Not too sweet but refreshing. You can hear the crackling sound of the napolean phyllo as you try to cut the creme brulee into smaller pieces.The price of the main dish might look abit scary but the freshness and quality of the ingredients justify alot. The plating and combination of the side dishes is really thoughtful and balanced. We had fries and porcupine prawns before our main but the food was not greasy or heavy at all. The portion of the mains are pretty generous as well.The only bad thing is the tables are kind of tightly spaced.We will definitely come back and try adventourous wednesday!

Best food available in the area. I have never had a meal that wasn't absolutely incredible at the Mahle House Restaurant. The customer service there is second to none. The atmosphere in this house converted to a restaurant, is beautiful and relaxing. I cannot recommend this place enough. Top notch!Vegetarian options: There is usually a seasonal dish on the menu that is vegetarian. Also, if there are food restrictions in your diet, you can let them know when you make the reservation and they have been excellent in accommodating.

We just ate a beautiful dinner at the Mahle House in Cedar BC!The restored historic building features cozy dining settings, restored timber tables and a warm lighting including candles.We ordered some wine and craft beers (as usual) and were quite happy with our choices. They had a new key lime grapefruit sour which was quite nice, with a balanced flavours. The Fitzpatrick Ehrenfelser wine was also complex and playful.We ordered Calamari to start, Spare ribs and the rack of lamb. All of the dishes were perfect. The calamari had a great dijon sauce with it that hit all the notes you need to contrast a fried calamari dish. The spare ribs with beautiful, with a special sauce including espresso and dunkel beer ingredients. A glass of Dark Matter beer matched perfect with this dish.The rack of lamb was the most amazing meat I think I have eaten this year. Cooked to ultimate perfection with the flavours on the plate really adding to the meat.We had peanut butter pies and the Creme brûlée for desserts. They were really great.We throughly enjoyed every bit of this meal, from the ambiance, the service as well as the food. A memorable life event, to be certain!Thank you Mahle house!

We visited Mahle House to celebrate our Anniversary. We were most impressed, inside out, and had a wonderful dining experience. Will definitely be coming back!And try the Ahi Tuna Crudo!
