It’s Friday. The work week is done, the sun is shining, and now you have a decision to make.

Cook dinner, do the dishes, and clean up the kitchen... or let us take care of you.

Maybe it’s a night to gather some friends and enjoy dinner on the patio. Maybe it’s a glass of wine, a cocktail, and a well deserved meal after a busy week. Maybe it’s grabbing a pizza to take home, putting your feet up on the couch, and starting the weekend the right way.

Whatever your Friday looks like, we’d love to be part of it.

Our feature specials tonight include:

• Grilled Sirloin Steak served with creamy garlic mashed potatoes and wood fired vegetables, topped with your choice of brandy peppercorn sauce or creamy mushroom sauce

• Creamy Citrus Risotto with grilled asparagus, topped with pan seared sablefish and finished with herb oil and balsamic reduction

• Pizza Special featuring pesto, mozzarella, chicken, spinach, jalapeños, and smoked cheddar

And if you're looking for an excuse to save room for dessert, we've got one.

All three of our dessert features are just $8 tonight:
• Baked Vanilla Bean Cheesecake with strawberry compote
• Chocolate Espresso Mousse Cake
• Citrus Cheesecake with berry compote

Bring the family. Bring some friends. Bring the dog and enjoy the patio. Or simply let us send you home with a great pizza and a bottle of wine for a relaxing evening on the couch.

However you choose to spend your Friday, you deserve a treat.

We're ready when you are.

Usually on a Wednesday we focus on telling you about our specials, new cocktails, or what’s coming out of the oven.

But this week we thought we'd focus on telling you why we love what we do.

Woodfire has never just been about pizzas, cocktails or busy summer nights. It’s about people who genuinely love creating experiences for others.

It’s the cooks who stay focused through a packed service because they care about every plate leaving the kitchen.

It’s the front of house team remembering your favourite table, noticing when you need another glass of wine before you ask, or making sure your anniversary dinner feels special.

It’s the dish team working late so tomorrow runs smoothly again.

Every person here plays a part in something much bigger than food.

We do this because we love hospitality.
We love taking care of people.
We love watching strangers become regulars and regulars become friends.

That feeling when a table leaves happier than when they arrived - that’s the reason we come back and do it all again the next day.

And honestly, on a small island, that connection matters.

Thanks for supporting a team that genuinely loves what they do. And honestly, we’d love an excuse to do it for you tonight.

Looks like a beautiful evening to enjoy the patio at Woodfire tonight.

We’ll have some outdoor tables open, the cocktails will be flowing, and dogs are always welcome too. Whether you feel like settling in for dinner, stopping by for an early snack at 4pm, or just enjoying dessert and coffee in the sunshine, we’d love to see you.

Tonight’s specials are:
• Grilled sirloin steak served with your choice of brandy peppercorn sauce or mushroom cream sauce, with creamy garlic mashed potatoes & wood fired vegetables

• Creamy citrus risotto with grilled asparagus, topped with pan-seared sablefish, finished with herb oil & balsamic reduction.

And if dessert is calling your name:
• Dark chocolate espresso mousse cake with berry compote & whipped cream

Sometimes the best evenings on Gabriola are the simple ones. A cocktail on the patio, a shared appetizer, dessert in the sunshine, or just an easy dinner with friends, family & the dogs at your feet.

We’d love to have you join us tonight.

The long weekend is over, but somehow this week still feels completely out of sync.

The fridge is empty, nobody feels like cooking, but you gotta eat!

So here’s your sign to let somebody else take care of dinner tonight.

Maybe it’s a big juicy burger and fries with a nice cold beer!
Maybe it’s one of our handcrafted pasta dishes and a glass of wine.
Maybe it’s finally giving in to the pizza cravings and taking a wood fired pizza home to the couch.

Or maybe you just need a proper meal that didn’t come from leftovers and snack cupboards.

Whatever kind of Thursday you’re having, we’re here for it.

Warm dining room, wood fired comfort food, friendly faces, and no dishes waiting for you afterwards.

Gabriola, come let us feed you tonight.

It’s a sunny Wednesday on Gabriola and whether you’ve spent the day running around town, working hard, or just feel like you’ve earned a midweek break, we’d love to see you for dinner tonight at Woodfire.

We’re especially excited because one of the most popular specials we’ve ever run has officially made its way onto the new summer menu.

Our pan seared sablefish is served over crispy arancini, with wood-fired vegetables, finished with a beautiful citrus blanc sauce and herb oil. It’s one of those dishes people kept asking us to bring back and now it’s here for summer.

Tonight’s pizza special is spicy beef, roasted red peppers, red onions, mozzarella, and gorgonzola, coming straight from the wood fire oven all evening.

And if you’re already thinking ahead to dessert, our chocolate hazelnut tiramisu and strawberry mousse cake are both quickly becoming big favourites on the new summer menu and the perfect excuse to stay a little longer.

Long weekend mode starts tonight at Woodfire on Gabriola.

Ease into the weekend properly and let us take care of dinner while you relax, catch up with friends, or simply avoid cooking for one night. Stay and dine in, grab a pizza to go, or settle in for cocktails, dessert, and a slow Friday evening.

Tonight’s features are looking pretty hard to resist:
• A beautiful grilled sirloin steak with crispy onions, served with creamy gorgonzola mash, red wine jus, and wood fired vegetables. Add prawns if you really want to treat yourself.

• Creamy citrus risotto with sautéed mushrooms, topped with sablefish and finished with herb oil and balsamic reduction.

• Roasted pork tenderloin with spring rhubarb chutney, roasted new potatoes, and wood fired vegetables.

And the dessert special is the Sun-baked lemon tart, with raspberry sorbetto, berry compote & whipped cream.

It’s also the start of the May'd on the Rock festival here on Gabriola, so for all the artists, creatives, musicians, and festival wanderers out there… maybe tonight is the night to let us do the cooking.

We’d love to see you.

A little rain never stopped Gabriola from eating well. Besides… there always seems to be sunshine at The Fire Truck Grill.

We’re open tonight from 4 - 8pm at Page’s Inn at Silva Bay, and the forecast is calling for burgers, tacos, grilled seafood, cold drinks, hot donuts, and a good excuse not to cook dinner.

The lemon pepper chicken burger with pesto & parmesan is quickly becoming a strong favourite this season. Grilled chicken, loads of flavour, and the kind of burger people keep talking about after they leave.

Come grab your Fire Fries, seafood tacos, smash burgers, grilled prawns, fresh donuts, and hang out overlooking the marina and the Flat Top Islands while the clouds clear off.

Bring the kids, bring the dogs, bring the appetite. We’ll handle the rest.

Thursday before a long weekend always feels like the perfect excuse to sneak out for dinner… and tonight’s lineup at Woodfire is looking pretty tempting.

We’ve got maple soy glazed pork belly with crispy slaw, creamy citrus risotto topped with pan seared sablefish, a beautiful roasted pork tenderloin with spring rhubarb chutney, and a seafood grill loaded with ahi tuna, prawns & scallops finished with lemon herb butter.

Plus fresh strawberry salad with goat cheese & raspberry vinaigrette, roasted red pepper & tomato bisque, and desserts that deserve their own moment of silence. The Cointreau orange crème brûlée is particularly dangerous.

It’s a quiet start to the evening so far, which honestly means one thing: a very good night to grab a table, settle in with a cocktail, and let us cook for you.

We’d love to see you tonight at Woodfire on Gabriola.

Mother’s Day is nearly here and if you’re planning on spoiling Mum properly this weekend, we’ve got a few very good reasons to bring her to Woodfire on Gabriola.

Alongside our brand new menu, we’ll also be featuring some beautiful Mother’s Day specials, including a roasted pork tenderloin served with spring rhubarb chutney, creamy dauphinoise potatoes, and wood-fired vegetables.

We’ll also have a gorgeous fresh salad special with arugula, artisan greens, fresh strawberries, sweet pickled red onions, roasted pecans, & goat cheese, finished with a raspberry vinaigrette. Proper spring food and the perfect start to a lovely evening.

And for seafood lovers, we’ll be featuring a creamy citrus risotto topped with your choice of seared ahi tuna or sablefish, finished with balsamic reduction & herb oil.

Good food, cocktails, desserts, no cooking, no dishes, and a relaxed evening with the people you love most… sounds like a pretty solid way to celebrate Mum to us.

Tables are already starting to fill for Sunday, so we’d definitely recommend booking ahead if you can.
