I had the fish and chips, she had the special which was steak. My fish was lightly battered and the portions were plentiful. The frites were excellent. The slaw was coarser than I'm used to and the dressing was a bit different, but it was good in its own way. The steak was properly cooked. View all feedback.

What User dislikes about The Modern Peasant:
This was a very disappointing restaurant. Ordered Fish and Chips. The side was a coleslaw chopped so large it needed to be cut with a nice and absolutely tasteless. The fish was so greasy it left a large puddle on our plates and yet the batter was iverdone and the fish underdone. The fries were undercooked as well and the waitress forgot to bring our sodas.

We absolutely adored the Modern Peasant! The food was amazing, from the fois gras to the Bacchus Salad to the Profiteroles, and the drinks were delicious. John, the owner and chef, provided exceptional service that exceeded our expectations. We are already looking forward to returning!

We recently enjoyed a fantastic Fish and Chips meal at The Modern Peasant! We had heard great reviews about this restaurant but hadn't had the opportunity to visit until now. While waiting for the ferry, we decided to stop by and within just 10 minutes, we were holding a generous serving of delicious food. Thank you, Modern Peasant, for a wonderful meal! We regret that we devoured it too quickly to snap a picture.

Came back about 3 times over my two day visit. You have to try this place. Sweet potato fruits were perfect, burgers were awesome. Breakfast was a great start to the day!

The food at this restaurant was amazing. The chef/owner serves lunch and takes the time to chat with customers, sharing personal stories and details about the restaurant. The atmosphere is fantastic and it's a hidden gem in Powell River. The chef's recommendations were spot on (although, it seems like everything on the menu is delicious) and his wine pairings were excellent. I have nothing negative to say and I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

We started with the Ceasar Salad, it was perfect, I mean it gave new meaning to the first course. I forgot my glasses at home so did not get to read the liner notes but the meeting of it and my palet was poetry. The main course was.... and mainly because I have never had the pleasure of this dish Beef bourguignon was better than sex, I mean this was heaven with every meeting of my palet. We had it with Fries which is funny but hey it was perfect together! Heres my photo!
