Restaurants near Brentwood Bay

“A nice, large coffee shop. We just wanted some light fare so we took some pastries (fruit almond brioche and strawberry cream danish), which were excellent. Also took a chai latte and a hot chocolate. Good service and room. Good prices. Highly recommend.”

“My wife and visit the gardens each summer and usually treat ourselves to the high tea. This year we felt the sandwiches were a bit bland and it appeared the menu was unchanged from 2025. Service was pretty good although the tea was not as hot as it could have been. Enjoyed the garden view from the outside terrace but be aware there can be wasps. Expensive for what you get but it is a nice treat!”

“Yami is the BEST sushi restaurant on this side of the island. It has been our go-to sushi restaurant for over 5 years since moving to the island from Vancouver. We drive out of our way each time and come at least once a week!

Every week JP and his team always greets us with the biggest smile and mentions me on a first name basis — now if that doesn’t make you a loyal customer for life, then stay around for the quality and freshness of the ingredients. Yami is truly a gem.

Thanks again and see you next week!”

“The sushi and tempura were excellent, we all enjoyed the Lodge burger. For an all rounder resteraunt they do a great job at each specific dish. We were surprised by the quality of the seafood for sure. The service was exceptional, super fast and friendly staff and we had everything taken care of as soon as we needed it. Definitely stop by, just be prepared for a short wait.”

“During a recent trip to Victoria we stopped at Brentwood Bay Brewskys for brunch while exploring the Saanich Pennisula. My wife and I had two different hash dishes, my wife had the veggie hash while I had the loaded hash, both with a side of hollandaise. Both dishes were excellent - very large portions, served hot and fresh. My loaded hash included scrambled eggs, chorizo, bacon, onion, bell pepper and cheese served over hashbrowns. Prices were reasonable, staff were pleasant and efficient. Definitely worth a visit if in the area.”

“The one menu with smashed Beef Patty and aged cheesed fries was awesome

A must try. Also nice hospitality from the waiters. Thank you ☺”

“My stay was 29-31/8, it's a really nice place:- the resort is beautiful, the room is comfortable, the hot tub is excellent, the starry night is amazing, the staffs are friendly and helpful. I would like to say thanks to Sally Walker. She not only gave me a 30 mins. massage, she answered my concern about my back pain, let me know more info. about massage 🙏”

“We’ve been ordering from Pizza Hut Brentwood Bay for five years. This was the best pizza we’ve ever had from them. Super tasty and crispy. The delivery was excellent. Five stars all around.”

“Got the sandwich and a chocolate chip cookie. The sandwich was honestly
one of the best I’ve had in my life! Kinda unfortunate to say there were multiple hairs baked into the bread. Still amazing food but anyone who gets grossed out by that I would watch out.”

“Your apple fritters and jellie donuts are amazing!! Always such amazing service too!! 🥰”

“Best service ever. Friendly environment, great ambiance. Best food ever, fast and efficient, Always above and beyond”

“My friend brought me here while we were in town visiting after her wanting to go for years and it did not disappoint! Amazing food amazing drinks and our server “Eric F” was fantastic. Anytime I visit Victoria in the future this will be a must have.”

“I have been twice to the Hot Dog Guys and cannot wait to go again. Awesome choices and the best veggie dog I have ever tasted. So many toppings and the bun and hot dog were fresh and so tasty. These guys are so welcoming and it is delightful to have great service with a smile as they deliver top food. Yummy! Will go back soon. Top food for Victoria and area! Try it you will be hooked!”

“recommended by a local friend, they impressed with a 'choose your options' menu, fun and friendly staff, and greek food I'll be revisiting again! mmm those fries..”

“Delicious food made with love. Sushi Time Express is my favourite sushi place in Victoria!”

“Great experience. Top notch local distillery. Their whiskies cover a wide variety and depths with something for everyone. For those not whiskey drinkers they also have an excellent selection of local draft beers. Enjoy indoors or on their newly opened large patio.”

“They care, they try, and they succeed. On top of all that, their food was fun to eat! They deserve our money.”

“Amazing food and atmosphere! Staff are fantastic!”

“Home of the best cheesesteak I have ever had. You are doing yourself a disservice if you aren’t eating here!”

“Love the patio out back! Between that and the very large tables in the shop itself, it's normally fairly easy to get a seat. If you like strong tea, the cups are really big so get two bags or size down!”

“We had dinner at Alpina Restaurant at Villa Eyrie Resort and were completely captivated by the breathtaking panoramic views of Saanich Inlet, framed by rolling mountains, lush greenery, and endless blue skies. Between the spectacular scenery and the outstanding cuisine, it was hard to decide which was more memorable!

We began with the rye sourdough bread, served with whipped butter and an apricot-cardamom butter. It was a simple yet elegant combination that we had never experienced before and absolutely loved.

For our mains, we enjoyed a roasted rainbow carrot salad with greens, feta, grains, and other flavorful toppings that made every bite delicious. The pesto pasta, finished with candied pistachios and a generous burrata, was an incredible combination of creamy, nutty, and herbaceous flavors. The seared tuna was perfectly cooked and served with fresh greens, while the grilled lingcod was flaky, moist, and delicately flavored, accompanied by tender beans cooked with tomatoes and other delicious ingredients.

Dessert was equally memorable. The **Les Rochers** was a rich, decadent chocolate pastry, while the **Tarte aux Myrtilles** featured a crisp tart shell filled with berry compote, topped with fresh blueberries and dollops of berry cream. The highlight, however, was the pistachio tiramisu. Our server assembled it tableside using ladyfingers, coffee, whipped cream, pistachios, chocolate, and other ingredients, turning dessert into a fun experience. The portion was enormous and easily enough for our family of four to share.

Outstanding food, impeccable service, and one of the most spectacular dining views on Vancouver Island made this a truly unforgettable experience. Highly recommended.”

“Just go it’s very awesome”

“Loved this cafe so much I went back a couple days later. I was visiting Victoria for a few nights and this was my favourite food stop. The food and coffee were so delicious and the service was fast and friendly. I'll be back next time I'm in Victoria.”

“Excellent Indian Buffet! Atmosphere, service and cleanliness exemplary! Neelu, the owner, is truly dedicated to customer satisfaction, as with all her staff! This amazing restaurant will always be my go to anytime. 😋😊😋”
