Nimma Nimma - Galiano Island

Absolutely fantastic. It was a delight to dine here and we can't wait to come back. The fries and fried chicken were outstanding, but the entire experience was top-notch.

I visited Nima Nima for the first time this weekend and had an amazing experience. The Filipino cuisine was outstanding, with each dish thoughtfully prepared and bursting with delicious flavors. I would definitely return in a heartbeat!

If you find yourself on Galiano Island, you must visit Nimma Nimma! The name of the restaurant originates from the owner's daughter who couldn't pronounce "nibble nibble" when she was young. This casual yet trendy counter service restaurant allows you to order your food at the stall and then find your own seat in their beautiful outdoor dining area. We ordered a variety of seafood dishes and were impressed with every single one. The seacuterie board was a creative selection of smoked fish, cod ceviche, spot prawns, pickled veggies, and house-made rice crackers with squid ink. The SoBo's Pockets, a light appetizer with a choice of shiitake mushrooms or BC Salmon filling, was delicious. The Miso Lingcod Rice bowl was a favorite at our table, beautifully presented with bold Asian-inspired flavors. This dining experience felt like a true vacation, despite having to swat away some pesky wasps and flies. I was amazed by the offerings of this small island.

During our visit to Galiano Island, we decided to have lunch at Nimma Nimma. It is a nice restaurant where you can place your food order at the counter, and there is a separate terrace and a grassy outdoor area where you can choose to dine. We visited during the summer season. The menu changes throughout the year, so make sure to check their website for the latest offerings. We tried a few dishes, including the Lingcod bowl, Inari bags, and Seacuterie (Seafood charcuterie) platter. The Seacuterie platter included shrimp, smoked fish, ceviche, pickled vegetables, and nori. I enjoyed most of the dish, although I thought the salmon was a bit overly seasoned with dill. The Inari bags were stuffed with mushrooms and vegetables, making for a very fresh and tasty appetizer. My favorite was the Lingcod bowl, which was served on a bed of rice and vegetables, including mushrooms. It had great Asian flavors and the Lingcod was cooked delicately.

Great food and service from the restaurant. My friends and I had dinner here and Devin gave us great recommendations.
