A culinary homage to Tofino’s mesmerizing, multicoloured sunsets.
Creative Coastal Cookery
Sunsets are a gathering place, a moment of beauty shared amongst friends, family, or strangers. They’re especially spectacular on Tofino’s coast — colourful, peaceful, and alive. And they’re our inspiration. Our small plates, bright with natural flavours, are meant to be shared too, as a centrepiece for lasting memories.
Ombré is a vision from a hospitality team long familiar with Tofino. Our sister restaurant, Wolf in the Fog, represents the wild, rugged nature of the West Coast’s land and sea. Now, with Ombré, we celebrate the phenomenon of light in our local skies.
Meet Us
We came together because of a common love for food, drink, and Tofino.
