Here is a place where the food will never fail you. Consistent, caring and people who live to please you. The one chef is a pastry chef by trade, ...yes we lucked out, most small restaurants can not afford a pastry chef and here we are. The other is a chef that has also trained and worked in some of...

A friend suggested meeting at 2 Chefs for lunch in the centre of downtown. It was a treat. It is not large so be prepared to wait. It is worth it. The chowder on the fresh sheet was consumed with glee by my friend. Mussels, prawns and salmon filled the bowl. My ravioli also from the specials was stuffed with... More

The location is easy to find in Nanaimo's great downtown area. The service was great and the food was so good. Probably one of the best soups(Yam Bacon) that I have ever tasted. There aren't that many tables and it was a bit warm in there, but I look forward to my next visit.

This place has really given Tina's Diner a run for their money..(no offence Tina.) Their servers are pleasant, the food is very tasty and quite reasonably priced, and their location couldn't be better. Our first time going here my boyfriend ordered a coffee, and I just got juice, as I don't drink coffee. After about 5 minutes, he noticed there... More

We've been hearing about this place for a while now, and after driving around for 15 minutes trying to find parking in downtown Nanaimo we finally stroll in to 2 Chef Affair. Sat down, ordered and proceeded to wait for our meal. Around the half hour mark, and after 3 refills of coffee, we were wondering where our food was... More

We liked the quality of food and the friendly and fast service. My stamp of approval for the taste and family oriented ambiance. The food was reasonably priced and i got a good hit with the eggs benedict.

Had breakfast in this captivating little place. The eggs benny were perfectly prepared. I'd say order the sauce on the side unless you love lemon - theirs is very lemony. Coffee is excellent. French toast was delicious.

Stopped for lunch on a Sataurday. Not very busy, service was OK but not exceptional. Ordered a Club Sandwich and the Ravioli. Arrived quickly after ordering, fresh and hot. The slaw with the club was tasty, the side salad with the Ravioli was basic mixed leaves with a small amount of dressing. Nice location wth the front full width windows... More

I think I'm in love! I stopped in here randomly off the street and had the best lunch ever, great service, good prices, friendly atmosphere, and everything you could possibly want in a downtown lunch experience. I'm coming back here any time I'm walking around downtown, and I will be recommending it to everyone I know. Check it out!
