Our Specialties

Bring two of our restaurant favourites into your own kitchen with Manhattan Dressing and Sneaky Pete’s Spice.

Manhattan Dressing

Manhattan Dressing bottle

Our Manhattan Salad has a devoted following in Nanaimo, and the dressing is a big part of why. We bottle it so you can enjoy that same favourite flavour at home.

The Manhattan Salad

Crisp iceberg lettuce, artichoke hearts, hearts of palm and red onions, all tossed in our Manhattan Dressing.

More than a salad dressing

  • Use it as a marinade for fish or chicken.
  • Toss it through pasta salads, including Greek pasta salad.
  • Add it to your favourite potato salad.
  • Drizzle it over sub sandwiches.

A quick vegetable dip

Mix ½ cup of mayonnaise with 2–3 tablespoons of Manhattan Dressing.

Serve with your favourite vegetables for an easy dip with that familiar Manhattan flavour.

Find it close to home

Our bottled dressing is also sold in the produce departments of local grocery stores in mid Vancouver Island.
