The Sooke Harbour House is an inn and restaurant located in Sooke, British Columbia, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island. It was one of the first restaurants in modern history to devote itself to local foods[citation needed], having done so since 1979. It serves what is now called "West Coast Canadian Cuisine." This cuisine draws on the foods of the indigenous peoples of the region, the sea, and farmed products from within roughly 25 miles of the inn.

The Sooke Harbour House has been owned by Frederique and Sinclair Philip since 1979. Sinclair Philip is the Canadian representative to Slow Food in Italy and is the Slow Food Vancouver Island Convivium leader. Mr. Philip has a doctorate in political economics from University of Grenoble in France. The head chef of the restaurant is Chef Edward Tuson. The inn was awarded the "Grand Award" by the Wine Spectator magazine.
