“2nd time to try! They keep their high food quality. The octopus, pork belly & Hailbut are very tasty! It’s really hard to cook Octopus but it’s so tender & Halibut is so juicy & fresh!Love their plating & the arrangement of bday desserts! They even replace another drinks for me as I forgot I m the driver tonight! New driver’s bad!Their desserts are another level! The mango coconut like Thai mango sticky rice, cheesecake with yuzu sorbet always the best, chocolate with choco ice cream that the taste is not over sweet as the ice cream just light choco taste & peach, strawberry & sour cherry ice cream sorbet that are perfect match!The servers and the Chef are nice! ?”
“Great table and great food! We did seafood tapas and ordered a bunch of appies. Great service by Hunter who was friendly and helpful and suggested the perfect order for our many small plates to come out.”
“have gotten take out from here a few times now. to be frank, it is astonishingly good. just when i thought you couldnt get something better than theyre butter chicken, the chicken vindaloo comes along and knocks me on the head with one of the most beautifull flavours i could fathom, much like sir isaac newton and his wonderful apple. the stuffed prantha is also quite insane. not sure if it is really a club or if thats just the name but if so, i’d do anything to join! thanks for the great food, defs my new go to spot for indian food or culinary out of body experiences in general! keep it up :)”
“Excellent establishment and outstanding staff! The menu and fusion of the different dishes are absolutely amazing. Nestled in an eclectic venue in the heart of Victoria’s historic downtown particularly as the sun is setting, the Block Kitchen & Bar makes for a perfect date night.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“From the service to the portions to the food, everything exceeded our expectations - and our initial expectations were high! Can't recommend Cafe Brio highly enough. We'll definitely be back.”
“Worth the trip! Must try: (1) Beef bulalo - meat is tender in heart-warming soup, serving is good for 3-4 pax. (2) halo-halo- this a refreshing dessert with milk, yam, flan, red bean, jackfruit, coconut, plantain, corn flakes.”
“What a great spot, delicious menu and super friendly staff. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Victoria.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“I recently visited II Terrazzo an Italian restaurant, and it was a delightful experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The menu had a wide selection of classic Italian dishes, and the food was fantastic.”
“We’ve enjoyed lunch at Syriana twice and both times it was excellent!! Food is delicious, the staff is so friendly and helpful, prices are very reasonable for what you get. Loved the beef lentil soup with triple cheese flat bread today!! We’ll be back for sure!”

“I shall have to come back and try it again, it was very good. I had the Takoyaki Appetizer, deep fried octopus balls and for the main course Black Arashi Tan Tan - Black sesame base with pork belly, egg, spinach, bamboo shoots, crushed peanuts, chili oil, garlic, green onion and nori seaweed.”
“Excellent establishment and outstanding staff! The menu and fusion of the different dishes are absolutely amazing. Nestled in an eclectic venue in the heart of Victoria’s historic downtown particularly as the sun is setting, the Block Kitchen & Bar makes for a perfect date night.”
“Fern cafe is consistently wonderful at offering the tastiest food and drinks, a fun atmosphere where I feel comfortable taking my kids, and they have the friendliest staff that go above and beyond to make the dinning experience special.Today we had a mix of sides, the fries, Caesar salad and Chickun, with a donut. The salad is always so good, just the perfect amount of dressing and crunchy crotons with lots of cheese on top! The Chickun is outrageously delicious and the fries and donuts are my kids very faves.We are lucky to have such an awesome all vegan cafe so close to home!”
“This is one of my go-to places for lunch. Top notch fried chicken and great people here. I buy the 3 Piece Lunch Deal and all flavors are great but I like the spicy the best. Savory soy is also really good and fries and very crispy.* I thought I reviewed this place before but I guess I was wrong.”

“ABSOLUTE BEST FRIED CHICKEN IN VICTORIA or anywhere that I’ve ever tasted. Their chicken is extremely crispy, juicy, tender and tastes insanely fresh as i believe it’s made to order. Also wanted to mention it’s very light so you don’t feel like you just ate a ton a fats and oils. I don’t know how they do this ? They also had a special on their 2 pieces of chicken which you can choose fried or roasted or regular or spicy. I chose regular fried chicken. They also have this deal on with their reg chicken burgers too. Such an incredible deal. I ordered delivery via Uber Eats and usually the food is soggy and cold. This was NONE of these. I was so impressed how hot and crispy the chicken was and the Korean chicken burger was ridiculously yummy and super crispy fried , golden to perfection. I asked for the Korean sauce on the side as I didn’t know how spicy it would taste and so the burger wouldn’t go soggy. It arrived fast and everything was still hot and crispy. I added pickles to my chicken burger and added my own tomatoes which made it perfect. You can pay a small fee to add these to any burger and I just felt it made it taste even more fresh than it already was. The brioche bun was definitely fresh and so was every other item that I ordered. The Korean sauce wasn’t crazy spicy but I’m glad I got it on the side so I could.control how much I wanted so I used it more as a dip for my French fries that were also crispy , golden , and fresh. I did put them in the air fryer for 3 minutes and then they tasted just like they came out the air fryer. I was so incredibly impressed with every item I ordered as the prices are extremely reasonable considering the amount of food you get plus the quality is like nothing I’ve ever had before. I wish i could have given 10 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ as the food was way beyond my expectations. I would definitely order again and I highly recommend them to anybody and everybody possible. I’m so excited to try other menu items to review as I’m sure they’ll be just as delicious as everything I ordered. Since there is so much food I now have enough for 2 lunches and a dinner. I even called to thank them and Ann was so incredibly polite and gracious. This is definitely a gem in Victoria. Plus they are open from 11am to late most nights til 1am and Thursday -Saturday til 3am for you late night eaters. It’s honestly the best food I’ve had in a very long time and I don’t feel all weighted down and sick because it was not greasy at all. I can’t stress enough how delicious it is and how reasonable the prices are even without the buy 1 get 1 free deals they have right now on Uber eats. Thank you so much Hi Five chicken for everything. I appreciate it so much and look forward to trying different menu items soon. Kindest regards, Shay ( Judy’s daughter as I use her Uber eats to order through. ). You definitely made my day ??☀️”
“I can't help but buy more snacks here than I can realistically eat in a day because it's so rare to find vegan treats (and especially *good* vegan treats).”
“Superb flavours. Light and spicy, lovely cooked fish. Definitely a visit you will not regret.”
“This oyster bar is top notch, the food is amazing, the vibe is amazing and the owner really knows his oysters in great detail. I was super impressed and I would recommend this spot to anyone who loves seafood.”

“Top-notch service & inviting atmosphere! Swans took great care to accommodate my group at short-notice, and the staff were diligent in ensuring we had the best time. Having an inhouse gluten-free beer on tap was a much appreciated touch! Will be back for our next gathering :)”
“Fantastic staff. Great food. Immaculate vibes!”
“A fantastic harmony of friendly staff and food is better than any other Japanese restaurant. It‘s a popular place, so it can be a little noisy. If you want to eat quietly, I recommend that you avoid the time when there are a lot of guests.”
“Superb. Great food and wonderful service. Will go back for sure.”
“grate food nice tast food quality is like 5 star”
“The people here are so so lovely and the food is very good! Fresh fish, good portions, reasonable prices. The poke bowls are particularly tasty, and their rolls are also always excellent (caterpillar roll and futomaki roll are two of my favourites). Also have a fun assortment of drinks including several flavours of Ramune. Easy to order online, usually prepared within 15-20 minutes for pickup. My coworkers and I are regulars.”
“Had the most amazing meal. Linguine all’s Puttanesca. So delicious.”
“L'Apero catered our professional event today and to say the food was outstanding is an understatement. Deliciously fresh and inviting, top quality ingredients and excellent service. Some really wonderful and unanticipated additions (honeycomb, figs, sugared cranberries) The pate and cheese was to die for. The entire staff were blown away. Thank you for such an amazing lunch!”
“This is a fun little place that is out of the way, but totally worth the trip. We had a brisket sandwich, Mac and cheese and the daily special made into three street tacos. Everything was delicious.”
“Quick stop for a Guinness before we headed back to the cruise ship. Live music and awesome atmosphere.”
“Absolutely delicious, my partner and I stopped by Christmas Day and the pizza was the perfect treat.”
“We just tried Local Pizza in Campbell river for the first time. It was hands down delicious!!! We couldn’t have been happier! Highly recommend”
“This is honestly the best restaurant I have tried Canada. They had the authentic taste I have been looking for everywhere. The owners were really nice as well, really friendly .”
“We had a fantastic dinner tonight. First time for us but recommended many times by friends. Food was great at a reasonably priced. I am celiac and there were many gf options and I felt quite “safe”. Our server, Raj, was pleasant, professional, and ever so friendly.* update for Celiacs…. I did suffer a celiac reaction post this initial review. Looking further on the web it seems they do not have a dedicated fryer (would love confirmation). My guess is that the pakora I had was cross-contaminated with Samosas, etc.”
24 Hour Restaurants
“The staff are overworked due to the homeless situation in Victoria, in terms of their washrooms. They keep their family washroom closed due to finding people camping or showering inside, which sounds like it can make quite a mess for the staff.While I find it completely frustrating to have to wait to use a washroom when there is another one available, often to find that the toilet paper has all been taken or used or the washroom in disrepair due to the situation, I can still have some sympathy for the staff. They shouldn't have such a burden being placed on them.Our government should be doing more to ensure proper washroom/shower facilities for the homeless, which can then be cleaned by someone other than the fine folks who are making our breakfast. But I think they're leaving these people to rot as a warning to the rest of us.”
“Very friendly staff, they all seem happy and cheerful and are often joking with each other , great team atmosphere, food is ready quick with a smile and a thank you.”
“You will find the best store managers in this branch of McDonald's. They are very eager, courteous, and patient to assist and provide a memorable customer experience. I'm lovin' it.”
“I would like to say that Hamsa working at the Goldstream Village (Langford BC) Tim Horton’s outlet I had occasion to sit watching him produce his orders in a timely and efficient manner, but more than that he had outstanding customer service skills with each and every person he came in contact with. During a time when it is difficult to get valuable employee’s who are an asset to the Tim Horton’s brand name, it was gratifying to see that this outlet had hired an exemplary employee. It was interesting to see that there were other employee’s “goofing around” but this didn’t distract Hamsa from doing his job. Again I appreciate the outstanding service Hamsa is providing at this outlet.”
“I just wanted to shoutout Josh from this location. Yesterday, one of his co-workers mis-heard me in the drive through (and tbh wasn’t very kind about it and was certain I ordered wrong… I can hear you even in my car lol). I was charged for food I didn’t order and the total was $$$. After I tapped my card, I realized the order was wrong. Josh did the MOST for me. The register machine wouldn’t refund me and Josh was willing to try everything before alternative options (like a gift card). Josh + the co-worker with a beard… legends! Your costumer service skills are top-notch and deserve some recognition.”
“Great place to coffee and food. I usually have the breakfast sandwich on a bisket. Sausages,and cheese. It is yummy, and black coffee. I usually take my travel mug,and fill it, so I can drink it while do my buissness. Otherwise I drink Nabob. It tastes great. My favorite coffee.”
“So happy to support this restaurant. Yoshi, the owner, is a great guy and I am so glad I get to eat his food. He makes some of the richest, creamiest, most flavourful broth I've ever had. I live a 5 minute walk away, I will definitely be a regular customer.”
“Excellent little sushi place. Got a great assortment with the lunch special. Reasonably priced and good value for what you getWheelchair accessibility: Low tables, easy entrance”
“Top-notch service & inviting atmosphere! Swans took great care to accommodate my group at short-notice, and the staff were diligent in ensuring we had the best time. Having an inhouse gluten-free beer on tap was a much appreciated touch! Will be back for our next gathering :)”
Takeout Restaurants
“Super long wait. Just be warned! It can be a 40-1hr wait sometimes. But wow delicious! My fav is the tacones and the chipotle chowder. I found the fish and chips were very standard, but their best food is probably their punchy chowder I’d say. I’d never had such a delicious and flavourful, little bit spicy and full bodied chowder!!! The Tacone was very fresh, with the ahi tuna.The area is pretty but since it’s busy there’s not always a place to sit. Just be aware the experience can be a bit overwhelming with how busy it can get! Love it otherwise :)”
“My first time here after hearing wonderful comments about Esquimalt Bake Shop having the best donuts in Victoria. This is so true! They are THE BEST! Not a heavy donut like other places. Very flavourful. You can taste the flavors. Worth the trek!”
“What a great spot, delicious menu and super friendly staff. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Victoria.”
“Ferris' is a great spot for seafood eats for casual, intimate dining without being formal. Portions are generous, beverages are good, and the overall vibe is cool. The menu on offering had a lot of variety including pasta dishes, soups, fried fare , and more. The fresh oysters on the half shell and our other appetizer were delivered to our table within minutes of ordering, and our mains arrived at the perfect time. All of our dishes were piping hot and fresh from the kitchen. The food was incredibly delicious; mains, sides, and all. The fish and chips in particular were superb -- battered and fried perfectly. The three of us all left very satisfied with the amount we were served. Only minus was the very moody lighting inside. It was hard to see my friends just a few feet in front of me before my eyes adjusted!”
“Pros: Delicious scones and good breakfast items. Would recommend the ranchero wrap and the white chocolate scone. Spacious, seats have backs, and big tables. Great coffee nice patio out back and cool atmosphere.Cons: Not the cleanest place I’ve been in. Lots of crumbs on the tables and rings on my coffee cup. Not a huge deal, but still.Overall: I go at least once a week because it’s a dimly lite place that’s nice to sit and have coffee-scone meditation time early in the morning. The place is always pack and by 9-10 these a line to the door. That speaks for itself. Would recommend a visit if you haven’t had the pleasure. Would also recommend the staff give the tables a wipe.”
“We just tried Local Pizza in Campbell river for the first time. It was hands down delicious!!! We couldn’t have been happier! Highly recommend”
“Spending time in a new neighbourhood and came across this place. Definitely worth the stop! The service was super friendly, the food was delicious and the roti was fresh and soft! Everything made in house so it’s even more delicious ?I was in Trini several years ago and this place brought back fond memories.Thank you Jefferey and family!”
“First time here and it was great! Service was quick and friendly and the food was tasty. They have lots of options to choose from and the coffee was amazing! Keep it up :)”

“Yay! Finally a poutine that isn't stupid salty and so fresh and flavorful! Service was pleasant and quick. Easy downtown location on the wharf and wee birds politely waiting for remnants after people left. Lots of locals waiting on their lunch. The most pillowy cheese burger I've ever eaten, ordered as listed. The curds aren't as salty as the ones we've had elsewhere (and bought at Costco) and the fries were fresh and hot, even a random steak fry made an appearance! One of my favorite Canadian poutines for sure!”
“Original and authentic Indian restaurant I would like to say original flavour of Indian food. Great service, would highly recommend.”
“Always great atmosphere buzzing in this location. We always have at least 2 taps at the restaurant dedicated to Phillips brew. Always good to check in, grab their incredible pretzels while sampling the latest and greatest.”

“My favourite hangout when in Victoria, great selection of beers and snacks too. A fun atmosphere and you can watch them brew beer through the giant windows into the brewery.”
“A special treat for my daughter (12) and me. Not a lot of places to get tea in Austin and certainly one of the high points of our holiday season. Pricey but a great experience.”
“A Victoria gem. Great food, affordable prices, friendly staf sums this place up. The portions are generous considering the prices as well! Also love the vintage vibes of this place!”
“Pindy at the milstream location was excellent she helped me with my order and hot food”
“Kiran has been a long standing server to myself and family for a cpl years. She exceplifies great service in every aspect!So patient with my pain staking long dbl shot of wheat grass and pineapple chaser that accompanies my smoothie.Koodos ? ?”
“"Hungry, eh? A&W, the Canadian solution for all your cravings, from juicy burgers and crispy fries to rich coffee and the iconic Root Beer. A&W's unwavering commitment to quality has endured the test of time."”
“Best DQ in town. The burger was juicy, fresh, smothered in sauce. Feels like going back to the 90’s when you could dine in at fast food. Staff are pleasant, efficient, actively listen.The restaurant was clean and orderly. Kudos to this operator.The other locations in town are reflective of the decline of society. Moody teenagers, slow service, zero service, filthy tables, daytime homeless shelters.”
“I visited this location for dinner tonight before I went into work and I was greeted by the nicest, friendliest, and kindest manager of all time. I really hope she gets a raise. She was doing an awesome job!”
“That staff is always so friendly! I regularly visit this location and am always so happy with my experience. Shout outs to the staff today who turned my horrible day around! Even after I accidently dumped my drink all over the counter they quickly replaced it and reassured me it was not a big deal! I left feeling MUCH better than I did when I came in! Thanks guys!”
“Busy efficient store in Eagle Creek Village, within walking distance of Victoria General Hospital (a longish walk). Always quick, friendly but no time wasted. While there is no drive through, there are dedicated 5-minute parking spots for Mobile Orders. (I always recommend ordering ahead anywhere any way, much more efficient for you and, I think, the staff!)Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp, stairs and level access, depending where in the shopping centre you're coming from.”
“One of my favourite Starbucks in Victoria! It is spacious, not too loud with music, and a friendly environment. Phil, the manager, is always kind and takes time to say hello or ask about our experience. Shoutout to Marcus who absolutely makes our day!! He is positive, kind, friendly, and makes the drive beyond work worthwhile each and every visit!”
“These guys are beyond amazing❣️❣️❣️ they totally hooked me up with a root beer float and a super sweet note. Can’t thank you guys enough. Thank you for continuing to serve our community during this time of uncertainty. Much love ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️”
“I am semi regular customer at this location they remember my extra complicated drink that takes an extra breathe to order as well as my friend who is in a old folks home down the street from their store. Some of the staff were at another location that I frequented in the recent past and have treated me well at both locations. In all this is a great location to be recognized at I feel like Norm from Cheers when I get there.”
“Sedona Cafe & Lounge is amazing! Lovely patio, fabulous food & classy vibe! We had the Sedona burger with Yvonnes amazing homemade salad dressing. Then to top it off, homemade sticky toffee pudding with homemade ice cream! (We shared but now I wish I didn't have to) It was all to die for and the perfect place for foodie lovers date night! Check it out!”
“A HUGE thank you to Herald Street for welcoming our group tonight! The service was wonderful, the beer was excellent, and great times were had.”

“Excellent French food and personalized service. This is slow dining at its finest. He makes his own bread, cheese and vinegar.Truly remarkable food.”
“The dine around caused some issues with our meal since I was the only one in a party of 6 that got the dine around.I am not sure what happened but I got my first course (appy) at the same time as everyone else got their meal. And then by the time I got my main course, everyone else was finished their meal.So that was a little annoying!However the manager heard my complaint and comp'd the meal. That was truly excellent customer service and I really appreciated that he recognized the awkwardness while I ate my meal and everyone else was done.Also, because of that we ordered an extra bottle of wine so I think it was a win for everyone.So great recovery and this saved the evening. Thanks Cactus Club manger!Oh, and the appy I got (Ravioli) was the most amazing combination of flavour. I could have had a whole meal of that.”
“Great service, atmosphere, and food quality. They need to update their knowledge on steak temperatures. Whatever temperature you like, order it more well done. Medium rare is actually rare bordering on blue. Medium is actually medium rare bordering on rare. Everything else was fantastic. Many thanks!”
“Cheryl's Pantry prepared wonderful food for a shower (finger sandwiches and scones) and for a cocktail party (several hot and cold appetizers) and they were all absolutely fantastic. The cocktail appetizers were really delicious. Would definitely go to Cheryl's again.”
“I'm from Las Vegas, and love to travel. My wife eat out all of the time, and this was surprisingly one of the best restaurants I've eaten at in years. We went back multiple times and no other restaurant in Victoria that we ate at compared to it. We would even joke that we should have just eaten there again, any time we ever tried a different restaurant during our visit to Victoria. Highly recommend.”
“A fantastic harmony of friendly staff and food is better than any other Japanese restaurant. It‘s a popular place, so it can be a little noisy. If you want to eat quietly, I recommend that you avoid the time when there are a lot of guests.”
“Superb. Great food and wonderful service. Will go back for sure.”
Cheap Eats
“I love their tacos. I have found myself coming back for more on the regular. Amazing owners, amazing food. Could not recommend enough. My significant other from New York could not physically get enough of them and ate tacos almost everyday he was in town and they were open. If you have not tried them, do it! You will not be disappointed.”
“I got really awesome service at this location … one of best pizza for dinner .. employee name manpreet kaur was really helpful and provided best service”
“Wonderful staff with exceptional communication skills that does their best to accommodate out of town customers! Thank you so much Jess and Adam, you guys are remarkable!The olive loaf was one of the best we have ever had, definitely a must try for olive lovers! Great crust, soft and chewy middle with an abundance of savoury olives, yum!”
“HUGE RAVE!!! Wow. AMAZING EXPERIENCE!! Never been in this store yet. Today I had the best experience welcomed upon entry by the owner. Very very very nice man!! Explaining the homemade take home Enchiladas and other amazing looking Mexican food. (Which ones he preferred) I lost my bank card couple days ago and only had cash was a dollar short for the bill and get said no problem... Let me take the Enchiladas and the Tamale anyway. I felt bad cause I wanted to leave a tip.. I will be returning tomorrow to give the well deserved tip and the dollar I was short. Definitely will be returning to support this amazing local business!!!!”
“Had a blast here. The owner was spectacularly passionate about board games and made everything fun. Right now, the prices at Board with Friends TOO cheap, not sure how they stay in business? Hopefully they will raise it later. Take advantage of it while you can!”
“Best food , cooked to perfection. Large proportions. Highly recommend. very clean, fantastic friendly service.”
“They always do their best Vegetarian options: I love the avocado toast but the bread isn’t gluten free (which I need now)Dietary restrictions: Im dairy free and often eat vegan, it’s easy to do that here! However, if you’re off sugar, there are less optionsParking: There is parking, but it’s limited on busy days”
“Green cuisine has an always delicious selection of great food and now has a coffee and baked treats bar as well. If you haven't tried it yet, you are missing a great experience. 5 stars!”
“Best Java place in #yyj, always spot on with my triple shot latte and friendly service.”
“Superb ice cream and service! The flavours are a mix of classic & deliciously unique and the kids loved trying out the different flavours before choosing their cone. Best ice cream we have ever had!”
“Delicious food made with love. Sushi Time Express is my favourite sushi place in Victoria!”
“One of the best Viet restaurants I have ever been. The beef broth deliciously reminds me the flavor when I was in Vietnam. Highly recommended!”
“Visited as part of an Alaska cruise. Victoria was the last port before the ending at Seattle. Very nice little craft brewery and distillery. Tried an excellent chocolate stout beer and some even better Irish style and Scotch style whiskeys. One aged in wine casks was to die for. Very informative short tour.”
“Great food & drinks!! Staff are incredibly kind and friendly. Doug the owner is the BEST! He always goes above and beyond for his customers and truly cares. They always remember your name which I find so sweet! You can tell Doug truly loves and cares about his community. :)”
“Probably my favourite place for a beer and food in Victoria. I always use the outside seating as it is open all year and is very dog friendly. The beer is great and the food is too because they actually don't sell much food beyond a few snacks. This means that you can bring in food from any of the restaurants around or stuff from home. The outside seating is covered and in the winter it is enclosed and there are heaters (though never been there much below 0C).”
“Sumptuous food, great atmosphere and exceptional service!”
“Health Essentials is just exceptional. Every time we visit, the staff are friendly, can answer questions and are truly interested in their products. They stock a good variety of supplements, dry Keto foods, and the best variety of frozen meat in Victoria. If it's not in stock, they'll request it from their supplier. They also host Professional seminars throughout the year too. A 10+”
“Without a doubt this is my favorite cocktail bar I've ever been to in my life. I love cocktails, but cocktails here beat them all. Not only is the atmosphere exactly what I want in terms of aesthetics but the service is incredible, the vibes are immaculate and there literally isn't a single thing I would change. I bring everyone I know here and honestly have a hard time drinking cocktail anywhere else because they simply cannot compete with the creativity and experience that citrus and cane provides. I'm sad I can't be here everyday. HIGHLY recommend..Update - still going here, almost on a weekly basis, more than a year later. Still my favorite. If you've been thinking about going and haven't gone yet, go. You will not be disappointed. Staff is incredibly knowledgeable. Drinks do not disappoint. Good music good vibes. Goodness all around.”
“Incredible Chili Basil Pork delivered by the owner's husband to track and field officials at the BC 55+ Games. Friendly service and amazing, hot food!”
“So happy to have stumbled upon this hidden gem, tucked in by the Double Tree and Bartholomew's, a bar with a cool, cozy atmosphere, inventive cocktails, and gifted mixologists with a real curiosity and zeal for making aesthetic and delicious drinks. Enjoyed the fried olives that paired well with our drinks, and they offered other small plates that looked interesting. The cocktails are the stars of the show and some are quite beautiful like the oceanic blue Cyanometer. We also tried Theory of Colours, Life in The Woods, Concentrated Sunbeams, and Diamond of Urals and also some Bruichladdich Port Charlotte 10 Year Peated Scotch, which was surprisingly good. Would be coming here regularly if we lived in the area!”
“It is a beautiful cozy place. The food is delicious. The servers are very kind. It has a feeling of being transported to a different time but not old. It is a little hard to find it at first but once in is a great ”
“grate food nice tast food quality is like 5 star”
“This place is fantastic. One of my favourites in Victoria and always fresh and well-made. It’s located in beautiful historic Chinatown, which makes it extra beautiful. The “Island Roll” is probably my favourite sushi dish in Victoria. 100% make the trip to Shizen.Kid-friendliness: Great spot for kids, partially because of its wonderful location beside Chinatown.”
“Probably one of my favorite sushi restaurants in Victoria. Always good, have some very cool specialty rolls, a very extensive menu, and high quality ingredients. Always get the uni nigiri here, best place in town for this.”
“Great atmosphere! The plates are huge and the food homey! I highly recommend huevos rancheros. Been coming here since I was I was in kindergarten.”
“Had the most amazing meal. Linguine all’s Puttanesca. So delicious.”
“L'Apero catered our professional event today and to say the food was outstanding is an understatement. Deliciously fresh and inviting, top quality ingredients and excellent service.

“Great breakfast place, I’ve tried the egg Benedict and it was delicious. Nice vintage / hippy style restaurant. The staff was nice and the food was reasonably price.”
“If you don’t have a reservation, be ready to wait to eat the yummiest Thai food in about 1-1.5 hours after you waitlist yourself! Had some amazing green curry fried rice, coconut rice, great mango cocktails, noodles/pad Thai, fantastic tapioca and mango desserts too.Service was pretty quick.Totally worth the wait :)Vegetarian options: Plenty of veg optionsKid-friendliness: Accommodated kid friendly menu, stroller parking etc. Delivered kids food pretty quickly too!”
“Quick stop for a Guinness before we headed back to the cruise ship. Live music and awesome atmosphere.”
“Honey mustard chicken is sooooooo good!!! Their cocktail drinks are so good, their pork kimchi is really really good ? 10/10 our favourite? everytime we go and try something new it’s never a disappointment. Worth a try ❤️”
“Absolutely delicious, my partner and I stopped by Christmas Day and the pizza was the perfect treat.”
“Best place to come for brunch, owner is so delightful and entertaining personality. The decor is cool to see. A lot of photos of many who have visited this place to see from over the yrs the food is as so amazing you will not be disappointed. will definitely return next time I am back in Victoria ❤️❤️”
“We were told by good friends that we had to try their clam chowder. It was to die fore. Finish of a bowl of chowder with their brandy soaked cherries and cheese cake.”
“great staff, wonderful menu with fantastic food”
“Service was a tad slow at the start waited quite a while for drinks, but really friendly waiter and waitress.I had the duck confit for the main course. The duck feels dried out, which is really weird for confit. The crepe and mushrooms were fantastic.”
“Our second time here, again very satisfied. Welcoming from the front door all the way. Great food and drinks. Portions were very good. Both fish and spanakopita dinner were delicious. Service was great and Kelly was one of the very best waiter professionals I've ever seen. Actually the whole service team is top notch. Thank you guys for an amazing night, if ever I would be visiting Victoria again, would absolutely return. Highly recommend.”
“Excellent French food and personalized service. This is slow dining at its finest. He makes his own bread, cheese and vinegar.Truly remarkable food.”
“Great food - the Tuna Tataki was fresh, the agedashi had good texture, and the Volcano Roll-Tuna was a fun surprise as it came out “on fire”, it was a good mix of fresh tuna and a fried roll. Service was friendly and the ambience was relaxed and casual. Nice choice of covers of 90s songs for the music.”
“Dude I love this place. It’s straight ahead and honest. One of the few old school locals left. Wings are killer. Service is super friendly and fun. Party on dudes.”
“Yummy salads. Wonderful variety of drink options both coffees and teas as well as beer and wine. The food menu is not huge but all the salads and sandwiches I have had have been tasty. It is a small cafe, so space can be at a premium. They have 2 lovely patios.”
“My wife and I, along with some friends were looking forward to touring some of the great breweries on Vancouver Island this past weekend. We managed to make it to two breweries: Île Sauvage, located at 2960 Bridge Street, Victoria, BC, and Driftwood Brewery which was about a five-minute drive from it. The experience couldn’t have been more different between the two businesses.Île Sauvage, was a friendly minimalistic brewery with a food truck kitchen, beautiful white tile wall of taps, and incredibly friendly staff all of whom made you feel welcome and appreciated. It had the feeling of a small independent brewery where they really wanted you to sample their various offerings and enjoy your visit. It was a really nice start to what was expected to be a fun day of brewery hopping. My wife and I along with two other couples enjoyed the food, some flights of beer and then left for our next stop.We decided to visit Driftwood Brewery. It was a mistake. While Île Sauvage felt like you were being invited into a brewmaster’s tasting room, Driftwood Brewery was the opposite experience. It is clearly more of a corporate entity with a lot of money spent on branding, merchandising, and interior design. Unfortunately, I can honestly say that I have never been subjected to more insulting behaviour by a server than I had to endure at Driftwood Brewery. I won’t harp on how unfortunate that experience was in this review but after watching how meanspirited the server at Driftwood Brewery was to me, my wife elected to order just water and we left as soon as the rest of our party was ready to go.I expect the sting of being bullied at Driftwood Brewery will fade with time and I will focus on the pleasant memory of my experience at Île Sauvage where I enjoyed a wonderful selection of sours and where the old Hard Rock Café spirit of “Love All-Serve All” still lives.If you like great sours, or pleasant people, I highly recommend Île Sauvage Brewery.”
“Polite, prompt & attentive service. Superb tapas. Cute venue for relaxing.”
“What a cool place. The place feels very modern and well kept. It has some good character too. The views are amazing. There is a very family feel here (not the penny pinching family feel, the care and attention type of family feel) Our server was great, friendly fun and attentive. Our food was great as well (the marinated sauteed mushrooms on my burger were phenomenal). Home made and fresh across the board. My wifes falafel wrap was on point as well. And the true test of a place... The fries were awesome! Well done Stickleback and staff. We will be back with our dog to enjoy the grassy area in the summer.”
“Everything, food, service, atmosphere…all great!!”
“My favourite restaurant. Always great here. Big portion size and friendly staff.Vegetarian options: Theres a few vegetarian options. They are noted on the menu.Parking: Parking lot isnt *huge* but it works. If not, walk across the street. Not a busy road.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. Has kids menu. Barn themed dining area. Petting zoo also.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap spots at the door. Only 1 level, no stairs. Easy access.”
“We were greeted by Kim as we walked in. We sat at a table of our choice, and reviewed the delicious menu. Simple, but difficult to choose from because of the curated choices.Our food came at an excellent pace, and the flavours were out of this world. Layers of spices, fragrance, texture and subtleties. You could really taste the care and love in every dish. Wow. We can’t wait to come back to our new favourite place. Thank you Kim our server and her Ma, the chef, for making our night memorable!! You two are awesome!”
“Our first time trying this restaurant. We ordered online. The order was wrong (food allergies) as happens sometimes. We called the restaurant and they were very apologetic and remade the order right away and delivered personally. The food was delicious and the service was top notch. Will definitely eat here again.”
“Love love love this place!! When my wife and I a re looking for Thai.. this is THE place to go. I have yet to have a bad experience here and I would say we go here at least once a month. Their Panang red curry is to die for!! Do yourself a favor and just go to Sabhai Thai.. You'll thank me!”
“Dropped in for drinks and a dessert while bar hopping in Victoria. A sexy bar with dimmed lights and a sexy inviting atmosphere...upbeat music playing overhead on the couple occassions we stopped in during our trip. Cocktails were smooth and tasty. Served up juuust right. Both times ordered the pecan pie. Really nice dessert...not too sweet but sweet enough! Delish! Service was spot on both times as well...friendly and prompt!”
“Highly recommend this place! If your looking for great food, full 20oz pints of beer (not like Victorias infamous 14oz pints) and a wonderful place to host your next date night, then look no further. The staff are extremely welcoming and the shafts top notch!”
“Meal was very well presented . Everything was very fresh and would highly recommend”
“YOU GOTTA EAT HERE!! Visited this hidden gem during a recent trip to Victoria in Mar’24. Staff is super friendly, food is amazing and vibe is super chill! Group of 9, we ordered chai, beer, kale and onion rings x 2, veg. fried rice, veg thukpa x 2, chicken thukpa, veg momos, chicken momos, veg noodles x 2, shrimp shepta, gulab jamun. Dishes are reasonably priced. This is a must try for everyone!! I’ll be visiting Victoria again just to dine at this restaurant!”
“The BEST Thai food ever and anywhere. Even their spring rolls are divine and unique. EVERY item on their menu is perfection. Delicious and 10/10 and/or 5 stars. Thank you for existing and putting love into your food.”
“Hope you will have faster service especially for kids who can’t be patient”
“Tucked away in a residential area, Heron Rock Bistro is a hidden gem. Lovely food, convivial atmospheres and attentive service - this was our favourite evening venue on this trip. Highly recommended.”
“Good food and service. Enjoyed oysters and fresh sardines.”
“Always fresh sushi and it's quite affordable! Also their selection of items is really nice! I asked for help finding tasty stuff for meals and snacks and the staff were very helpful in identifying items I have difficulty reading. Highly recommend if you are hungry for good Japanese cuisine within the shelbounre area!”
“Exceptional flavours and quality ingredients. Patient, kind and helpful service. They are happy to accommodate custom orders. Thank you, I will be back! Thanks Barry!”
“Good food and lots of local beers on tap. Nice place, very busy. Good service.”
“Open late! Not a whole lot of options around here :)”
“I finally went to a restaurant I had been wanting to try and had a meal. Order and share what you want to eat with your friendsIt's a very clean store and the staff are very kind.No matter what you eat, the food is delicious???.It's worth stopping by when you go to Victoria, Canada❣️”
“Andrew is amazing, so hospitable and the sushi is made beautifully with the freshest seafood. His Cadboro Bay roll is the absolute BEST!! It is a must have for sure.”
“I have been here at least a couple of dozen times and everything that I’ve eaten here has been fabulous. Get yourself down here and try this great place out.”
“Delicious food in a cute spot with great service. We LOVED our dinner at Varsha. Garlic naan was delightful, coconut rice, and veggie curries were all delicious. Spice level was perfect and the staff did a great job of checking in to make sure we were satisfied.Vegetarian options: A variety of vegetarian options”
“The dining room and lounge are impressive with tall ceilings and expansive windows with an equally impressive view over the golf course, forest and hills.Enjoyed happy hour and the cheese dip which was sufficient for three people to share. Would be worth the drive just for the view and certainly convenient after a round of golf.”
“BEST sushi in Langford, tasty drinks and sake, friendly helpful servers ❤️ every time we come we are so happy and I spend the whole time saying “how nice is this??!!??””
“Loved this place! Good vibe, friendly staff, and super delicious food and drinks - I highly recommend the fried rice and tteokbokki skewers. I'll definitely be back.”
“Love the vibes from this place. Service is excellent every time.Personally, there could be a few more options for menu items but no complaints on taste, quality, and portions sizes.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available!”
“The host called me to confirm my reservation details, spacious space was required Upon entering the restaurant, the host greeted us warmly, we were impressed by the amazing presentation of each dish and pricing was excellent The cleanliness of the facilities, including the bathrooms, was exceptional, adding to the overall positive experience. Throughout our time at the restaurant, the host remained welcoming and attentive, ensuring that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Their hospitality added a special touch to an already fantastic dining experience. Overall, our visit to the restaurant was amazing, amazing food, and exemplary service.”
“Incredible atmosphere that somehow manages to be both exciting and intimate, and like the food, in perfectly balanced servings. Amazed at the number of flavours and ingredients they are able to fit into a sushi roll without falling into the "westernized sizing" that so many similar establishments seemed to have adopted. Delicate, balanced, and satisfying without being a meal ender. For those who enjoy all the various food media these days, and have wanted to experiment without signing up for a large, unknown dish... the Tapas style and extremely affordable menu makes multiple visits not only a must, but a new, yet familiar experience with each visit. Attentive yet subdued service finishes the dish perfectly. Balance and thoughtfulness are the threads throughout which the entire experience is woven.”
“I just witnessed the sweetest act of kindness by a staff member.. customer service and food were outstanding!”
“My go to lunch is their 4 bao for $15, everything is super delicious and fresh, the perfect bite!”
“The dine around caused some issues with our meal since I was the only one in a party of 6 that got the dine around.I am not sure what happened but I got my first course (appy) at the same time as everyone else got their meal. And then by the time I got my main course, everyone else was finished their meal.So that was a little annoying!However the manager heard my complaint and comp'd the meal. That was truly excellent customer service and I really appreciated that he recognized the awkwardness while I ate my meal and everyone else was done.Also, because of that we ordered an extra bottle of wine so I think it was a win for everyone.So great recovery and this saved the evening. Thanks Cactus Club manger!Oh, and the appy I got (Ravioli) was the most amazing combination of flavour. I could have had a whole meal of that.”
“Had breakfast here on an overnight stay in Victoria. The atmosphere here is really cosy and quaint and we found all of the staff very friendly and helpful.The menu is really large and it can be hard to choose! We were there over breakfast time and enjoyed an omelet and smoked salmon Eggs Benedict. Absolutely get your eggs Benedict on a local bagel!Coffee was strong, hot and delicious.We would definitely return when visiting the city.”
“I’m Chinese and this is easily the best Chinese restaurant on the island. So happy I found this gem! The owner is super nice and he makes his own noodles fresh in house. I recommend the beef noodles, dumplings, the eggplant dish and the amazing savory pancakes! The meatballs vermicelli soup from here is my absolute favorite, it’s so delicious and it’s not on the main menu so ask for that when you order. Can’t wait to come back to try the roast duck. Give this place a try and you won’t regret it”
“We used to order from Jones BBQ but haven't for about 2 years. We just did and unfortunately are very disappointed. The quality has gone downhill. The brisket on the totchos was very little, and what was there was mostly fat - not just a "fatty cut of brisket," but actual chunks of fat thrown in there. Also, the pulled pork sandwich was super greasy and the bun was saturated. We only ate half of our dinner because the food was unappetizing. We did call to give feedback and were told that if we don't want that fatty brisket, we need to ask for a leaner cut. Well, that wasn't the case two years ago. So overall, prices are up, quality is down, and the service was poor. Even after reporting the issues and that our stomachs weren't feeling great from all the grease, we got an "I'm sorry, have a wonderful day." They knew we weren't satisfied with the food and didn't offer any sort of remedy. They couldnt have made it any more obvious that they dont care. We definitely won't be back.”
“Good food reasonable prices and friendly service. The beer was good too.”
“This is an amazing winery, we went to 5 different spots in our tour and this was by far the best.The staff was knowledgeable and interesting in talking to us about the wines.The wines were delicious especially the Mertiage and the Syrah.The atmosphere was fantastic tooI'll definitely be going back”
“In April of 1998, I sat in a Los Angeles conference room listening intently to our course director guide us through the curriculum for the week. We were there to learn about state of the art electronic control systems in industrial and educational environments.At some point we were all asked to stand and give our names and cities of origin and say a little about why we were there.There were 40 of us.As my turn came and went (I was the sole Canadian in the group...) An older gentleman stood up and took his turn..."My name is Alfred.... and I am 63 years old. In the late winter of 1944 my little town was liberated by Canadian soldiers... I have, in all my years, never actually met a Canadian! I'd like to take this moment to thank the Canadian in the room. I was 11 and it was the happiest day of my life. Thank you. Thank you... Thank you.Honestly, you could have knocked me over with a feather at that point. I was speechless. I managed to get out a "Your'e welcome..."Here in 2024, when I pass the Wooden Shoe (in business since 1956...) I am reminded of that moment in Los Angeles all those years ago -- as well as all the stories I have heard from Dutch Canadians over the year. May the 4th is one of their national holidays remembering the victims of war.The Wooden Shoe (On Quadra at Kings) is not only one of the better places for Dutch treats, they also have a series of books on the horrors of war and occupation... something we should never forget in these troubled times.The Wooden Shoe (yes, it's open and doing a fairly brisk business) is one of those business legends of the city -- nestled in a little half-block commercial building... single story no less - the likes of which I am reminded by my dear wife that are "under threat" to develop, build, demolish and build taller and taller.Every time I pass a place of business like this, I remind myself and anyone that will listen: Cherish these places. Frequent these places. Remember these places... because one day, they will be gone - maybe replaced with some soulless cookie cutter business or chain franchise.”

“Our daughter's request for her birthday was Brady's and they didn't disappoint. Food was great, server/owner was so entertaining.... $ was up but everything is so to be expected. We all had a great time...thank you 😊”
“I would like to say that Hamsa working at the Goldstream Village (Langford BC) Tim Horton’s outlet I had occasion to sit watching him produce his orders in a timely and efficient manner, but more than that he had outstanding customer service skills with each and every person he came in contact with. During a time when it is difficult to get valuable employee’s who are an asset to the Tim Horton’s brand name, it was gratifying to see that this outlet had hired an exemplary employee. It was interesting to see that there were other employee’s “goofing around” but this didn’t distract Hamsa from doing his job. Again I appreciate the outstanding service Hamsa is providing at this outlet.”
“Okay this is my first time leaving a review this place is really amazing and I'm not just saying that the staff and the manager are great the food is pretty damn good specially the donors cuz usually I go for the pizzas cuz their pizzas are phenomenal and whatever you guys ask for they do it up for you I've been with the gorge one for 6 plus years off and on and now I'm at the quadra Street and the staff is really nice there too. I think a lot of people should try out this place the one on quadra Street and Gorge and you're really get bang for your buck I noticed even their pastas really good too and they have delivery or you can go pick it up and they have pretty good prices too. Well I hope everybody has a wonderful day or at least try to.”

“Excellent location but our table was near the restrooms and a staff exit which was not ideal. However our server took extra care of us to compensate for the table location. The kale salad and coastal Hawaiian pizza were excellent. The draught beer was fresh and tasty. The restaurant location on the harbor with close proximity to our hotel was wonderful. Can't wait to go back and either sit in the main dining room or at the beautiful bar.”
“We had a 4:00 Reservation and arrived on time. We were seated in a very nice secluded area by the window. We tend to have the same things, Hubby, prime rib and Me, pistachio crusted salmon. Both we as good as always. Service was extremely nice and pleasant. Thank you as always.”
“Steamship grill is our go to restaurant when we visit Victoria on a sunny day. We definitely find the happy hour pricing worth the visit. Highly recommended the tuna tataki! I tried the blue cheese/ pear pizza without the fig drizzle. Unfortunately the crust was overcooked and even without the drizzle was far too sweet. We will go back, I just wouldn't order that pizza.”
“Outstanding view! I ordered the duck and was underwhelmed. Tasted good, however I did tell the waiter my zucchini strips were cold. And for the price point I was surprised how little was on plate.”
“Our waiter (James) was amazing, He was helpful in so many ways (service, drinks, always checking on us). He appeared at our table at exactly the moments we needed him. Thank you James and milestone!”
“Pagliacci’s is an iconic Victoria Restaurant which has been in the Segal family for years. Great food and ambience. Reasonable prices too.”
“I must recommend this pub, classic decoration and an upbeat feeling. The food is amazing and they have a good variety of beers and cocktails. The staff is very friendly and while there was a little queue to get in (hockey night) it was totally worth it. A must visit if you are in town.”
“Super long wait. Just be warned! It can be a 40-1hr wait sometimes. But wow delicious! My fav is the tacones and the chipotle chowder. I found the fish and chips were very standard, but their best food is probably their punchy chowder I’d say. I’d never had such a delicious and flavourful, little bit spicy and full bodied chowder!!! The Tacone was very fresh, with the ahi tuna.The area is pretty but since it’s busy there’s not always a place to sit. Just be aware the experience can be a bit overwhelming with how busy it can get! Love it otherwise :)”
“My wife & I (60's) thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Earl's. Our server Bayleigh was a treat; great service, combined with a good sense of humour. i ordered the 9 oz sirloin, unfortunately I just missed out on the last 9 oz in inventory, so went with the 6 oz. A small hiccup as I ordered it medium rare but it arrived more like rare to blue rare. Notified Bayleigh and she promptly returned it to the grill, came back very quickly just right, medium rare. The manager Reese came over to make sure all was well. Susan had the Cajun salmon which she quite enjoyed. As a bonus, we dined on a Wednesday which is 50% off bottles of wine & $5 off steak night. We very much appreciated being seated in a quiet section as per my Open Table request. We will return upon our next getaway to Victoria.”
“Had a family celebration here this week & what a fabulous evening! Everything was great, from the atmosphere, the food, the service to the OMG dessert. The tiramisu was sooo delicious, as was the passion fruit panna cotta. Such an enjoyable experience made even better by our top notch server Marcus, whose exemplary service, recommendations & friendly attitude just put the entire evening over the top!”
“Really good service, and amazing views of the inner harbour”
“It was the perfect place for a beautiful evening with views of the ocean from our window table. This restaurant was recommended to us by a friend. We ordered the 4 course prime rib dinner. The service was above the expected. The servers were personable and helpful. The restaurant paced the dinner so we were not rushed at all. Fine dining is almost a lost art in Vancouver. So we were thrilled to find this ocean front gem with delicious food. A bonus was the no-hassle parking. We will return on our next visit to Victoria from Vancouver.”
“I'm from Las Vegas, and love to travel. My wife eat out all of the time, and this was surprisingly one of the best restaurants I've eaten at in years. We went back multiple times and no other restaurant in Victoria that we ate at compared to it. We would even joke that we should have just eaten there again, any time we ever tried a different restaurant during our visit to Victoria. Highly recommend.”
“Tasmin was our server When we arrived, it was very busy, Tasmin seated us quickly in the "VIP" section which made my kids very excited. She was an absolute wonderful server, she was personable, funny and very knowledgable and helpful with the menu. She made our visit one of our favorite memories from our vacation. I would highly recommend this restaurant to families, it is a great atmosphere. Also, they offer a gluten free menu if you have dietary restrictions. Absolute 5 star review from us, we hope to visit again soon, thankyou Tasmin !”
“I recently visited II Terrazzo an Italian restaurant, and it was a delightful experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The menu had a wide selection of classic Italian dishes, and the food was fantastic.”
