Matterson House is a small restaurant that is in a yellow house. Meals are reasonably priced and very good, not outstanding, but our dining experiences lead us to believe that outstanding dining in the Ucluelet/Tofino area was reserved for the Pointe Restaurant ( http://www.flyertalk.com/dining/ftdining_forum/Forum20/HTML/000009.html )

Matterson dishes were very enjoyable and the chef seemed decently versed in a few different cuisines which he brought to the predominantly seafood menu.

Dining on the outside patio (heated when cool out) was a big plus as well.

Before hiking the Wild Pacific Trail in Ucluelet, pick up a good deli sandwich from the Gray Whale Deli/Ice cream parlor.
