Do Nanaimo Bars Taste Better in Nanaimo?

In early July I was fortunate enought to take a trip out to Vancouver Island. It was only an extended weekend but it was truly amazing. The trees were huge, the food was fresh, the ocean was salty and the beer was cold.
The first night we got there we had dinner at a gorgous resturant in a dark alley at 10:00 at night. It's named Il Terrazzo. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was very memorable. I encourage you to head to the website, just to see the courtyard (link below). My best experince in a dark alley to date. 
The next morning we stumbled around downtown dazed and hungry. You see after Il Terrazzo we went to a pub named Swans for some pints. Eventually we turned to Mike's trusty smart phone and followed the little arrow, leading us to Chef Suzi in the Square. We sat in yet another alley, drank coffee and ate granola. The sign on the counter said "Relax-This ain't the mainland'. I loved it.
For the rest of the day, I left Mike at a pub and went shopping in all the little botiques. I accidently bought a rain coat but that wasn't my worst desicion of the day. I left Mike at a pub. He is the only one who was insured on the rental car and we needed to be in Ladysmith that evening. Oops. After lots of water, walking and pizza at an ocean side pub, he was fully recovered.
I guess this could bring me to my original question-Do Nanaimo bars taste better in Nanaimo?

You Really Wanna Know?

 No they don't. It's too humid. The whole top layer just melts all over you. To be fair, I was just outside of Nanaimo. Maybe within city limits they have this figured out.
