For anyone with a a sweet tooth who enjoys meeting locals while they travel, follow my quest to try all the featured recipes on the Nanaimo Bar Trail. You won't be disappointed! STOP #1 - Nanaimo Bar Ice-Cream at Two Chefs Affair, Commercial Street. "I bet I try it first! - the challenge from my friend Heather, and the name of the restaurant 'Two Chefs Affair' seduced me into trying the ice-cream as my first stop on the Nanaimo Bar Trail. The ACTUAL chefs, Tammy & Daniel are fellow business owners on Commercial Street & they always come over to say hello when I'm in their restaurant. This time, they served me up the delectably presented Nanaimo Bar Ice Cream and two forks so I could share it with my friend Charlene.

The Painted Turtle Guesthouse is smack dab in the middle of the Nanaimo Bar Trail.  For directions on how to get to the Guesthouse, click here.
