Canadian Restaurants near Brentwood Bay, BC

“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!“

“We stopped at The Blue Poppy Restaurant for lunch during our visit to The Butchart Gardens and were pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. For a cafeteria-style restaurant inside a popular tourist attraction, the quality exceeded our expectations.

We ordered the seafood pasta, which was generously loaded with prawns and scallops. It was rich, flavorful, and so delicious that our kids polished it off in no time.

We also tried the Butter Chicken Poutine, a Canadian classic with a creative twist. Crispy French fries were topped with cheese curds, rich butter chicken curry, roasted cashews, and other flavorful toppings. It was absolutely outstanding—comfort food at its finest and almost impossible to stop eating after the first bite.

The restaurant overlooks the beautiful gardens through large picture windows, making it a lovely place to relax and enjoy the scenery while you eat.

Service is cafeteria-style but fast and well organized, with friendly staff and prompt delivery to your table. A wonderful lunch stop during a visit to The Butchart Gardens.“

“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.“

“Absolutely loving the new early hours!!!! 7am opening makes it possible to grab some awesome food prior to work!“

“Still thinking about last night's meal all day today. Each dish surpassed itself. The presentation, the story behind each dish, the ingredients and the amazing flavours. Most memorable dinner of the year. Also...mocktails (the cucumber one) was amazing. I think I need the recipe for that! Thanks to the entire team - front and back of house. Well done.“

“Everything was home made and incredible. I had the charred broccoli sandwich & it was perfect. I will look forward to my next visit.“

“Had an amazing experience last night at Earls. Everything was 💯 from walking in. Our server Shelby was incredible, never missed a thing and had all the right recommendations.“

“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.“

“7 different meals and all were fantastic, service was awesome and friendly as well thank you for a great experience, we will be back“

“Just go it’s very awesome“

“Located across from the British Columbia Museum Mary’s is the ideal stop after visiting the museum. Great foods, fast service and fun atmosphere“

“Always delicious food! Service is good too.“

“Had a really good experience at Browns Socialhouse. I ordered the blackened chicken pasta, and it was really good. The nachos were outstanding and probably my favorite part of the meal. Our server was polite and friendly, and the service was great overall. Definitely a place I’d come back to.“

“Delicious food prepared in Cheffy’s own kitchen, good selection of British food, very convenient when cooking isn’t an option, great variety, inexpensive (the fewer visits to the supermarket, the more the savings), the menu changes each week and friendly, helpful staff. Hint: Their delicious scones, with a different variety every week, are very popular and sell out quickly, so it’s a good idea to order them early in the week. 🥮“

I had the absolute pleasure of celebrating my birthday last night at the rooftop patio at The Met, and I’m still buzzing from how incredible it was! 🌟

They were hosting an amazing Mexican themed party, and it just so happened to be my birthday talk about perfect timing! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond for everyone, but especially for me. They were constantly checking in, making sure we were comfortable (even bringing us heaters when the wind picked up!), and truly made me feel so special.

The food was fantastic, the drinks were top-notch, and the atmosphere was full of energy and fun. We even won prizes, enjoyed free food and drinks, and to top it all off — they surprised me with a birthday cake. 🎂

I honestly can’t say enough great things about this place. The staff made the night unforgettable, and I’ll absolutely be back. I’ll also be telling all my friends because if you’re looking for a fun, vibrant, and welcoming spot for a celebration or night out, The Met’s rooftop patio is it.“

“Great place for locals and tourists alike - couples, families, friends, workmates, whatever, good food, good beers, and plenty more besides. Along with a couple of flights of beer, we had the Kafka-esque hot dog and the Mustard Pickle Grilled cheese with pulled pork - excellent! Pictures in the Comments below…“

“Love eating at The Cobble stone pub in Cobble Hill Great food and service from Kaitlyn and the coffee ☕️ is the best Cheers 🍻 Ron Wolf“

“We were there to celebrate a 40th anniversary, milestone and Milestones did not disappoint! The pork chops, ribs, and Mediterranean chicken were delicious. The cocktails were fun (the spicy melon margarita was yummmy). But best of all was the service! Isabella was warm, friendly, gave excellent recommendations, and was there to check on us even before we knew we needed her! She made our dinner very special!“

“Great piping hot crispy coated halibut & chips. Super friendly server/waitress. March 12/2023“

“We went with our family of seventeen for a birthday celebration. The service , food atmosphere, and beautiful location all superb. Highly recommend. Thankyou ! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Cute little location with friendly staff“

“We go there most Sunday's for brunch. Excellent foid and service. The view of Victoria harbor is one of the best in Victoria. I usually order either the brunch breakfast or tuna poke bowl. My wife loves their pizza. During summer, we sit outside by the water.“

“Love it here!!! Fantastic hotel for prices and staff are so friendly!“

“We stopped by on a Sunday morning before heading out to explore more of Victoria, and the eggs Benedict with their house-made hollandaise really hit the spot. The patio overlooking the Inner Harbour was quiet at that hour, which made for a relaxing start to the day with coffee in hand. Our server was friendly and patient while we asked about the different beers brewed on site, even though we were just there for brunch. It's clearly a popular spot, but getting there early on a Sunday meant we snagged a table right away with no wait at all.“

“So good! Had the most lovely server, food came fast and was delicious. So glad we stopped here for breakfast!“

“Perfect start to a beautiful day!“

“This was the best service I've had in some time.
Called down from my room and asked if they did room service, they do not.
The girl said it would be ready in 20 mins, I asked if she would call my room when my order was ready.
She didn't know how to that but said she'd figure it out.
11 mins later my room phone rings saying my order was ready.
Got down stairs just as they finished packing it up.
Came to find out she was in training.
The manager was great too, he was on the spot with getting shot figured out“

“I frequently choose this restaurant. Love the outdoor summer dining. It’s like dining in a tree house. Staff are lovely and the food is always delicious. In winter, it’s cozy. Beautifully decorated.“

“This was a great find. Datenight was good. Great service“

“Our first impression was amazing. Our hostess, Neveah, was so friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. The food and the atmosphere were wonderful.“

“love their food and drinks. if you haven't gone. you must 🤤🤤🤤🤤🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻“

“I know some say the prices can be bad here but certain items I find do cost a bit less than places like Lifestyles or Thrifties etc. The selection is good; tofu, cheeses, non-dairy milks and yogurt, cereals etc. Sometimes you can find baked goods in the bakery section as well. They seem to get seasonal products in as well such as unique coffee, creamer, and dandies flavours. They also sell vegan supplements, protein powders, and self-care items. However this is a large chain store, so if you're trying to support local probably not your spot. Location is the size of a syandard grocery store with a coffee shop included on the left side of the store. Parking lot for uptown is quite large but can be confusing for people to navigate.“

“This place is a gem...that gets lost amongst the Golfer Clientele....
You do not need to be a golfer to enjoy Bill Mattick's Restaurant.
I love this place to take my book and sit on patio for appies and a cider SOLO, or daytime cocktails with the girls, or an early evening date night with the hubby.
...especially on the patio, in the sunshine with the gorgeous landscaping and sound of birds.
I highly recommend the Crab Dip (curry undertone) with chips, or the Halibut burger and yam fries.

The prices are reasonable.

I love that they have merridale berry 🍓 ciders.

The service is fast, kind and attentive.

“I love Adrienne’s. Such a cute place with tasty lunch and snacks. Nice staff too!“

“We just had lunch legendary burger and fish and chips at the White spot which we have missed so much. The waitress "Jade" was so amazing, fun, respectful, efficient, just plain happy which certainly cheered us too. Food was excellent and what big pieces of cod too. Thank you, we will be back“

“I love it here! The food is always a slam dunk, and I’ve honestly never had anything I didn’t like. Everything is consistently delicious, the portions are great, and you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Definitely one of my go-to spots!“

“This place showed huge empathy when my mom was in the area for surgery & my dad kept coming in for coffee, meals etc. Not only did they remember my dad, they were kind, supportive & always asking him how he was & mom too! Above and beyond barely touches it, I can’t thank those working here enough!“

“We were staying at the hotel while my hubby had heart surgery and ate there our first night. THE FOOD AT ATMOSPHERE IS AMAZING!! The second night I made an order online but accidentally pushed the Westshore location...(I'm in Saanich) when I was pointed out my mistake the young man up front went to talk to his manager Jenn! She had my order ready so fast! No questions asked! It was very busy in there for a Wednesday night! You guys are awesome. Thankyou again! We will be back to the hotel Accent Inn and Bin 4!“

“Never been there before but its a quiet atmosphere didn't know what to think of it. But we ordered the Zoo sticks (zucchini sticks) the absolutely best and I travel all over Canada. Then we ordered the steak mashed potatoes and broccoli done to perfection 👌 and then to start on the drinks I had the rose sangria fizz not only was it beautiful to look at but my taste buds loved it too. Jesse our server/bartender easy going, attentive a great asset to that team and establishment. Next time I come through I definitely will be stopping over and over
