50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants 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!“

“One of my favourite places to sit and watch the world go by. Great food, lovely staff, honestly if you haven’t been yet, Go!“

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

“What a gem! The service was fantastic! The place is gorgeous! The food outstanding! The wine list is very good and not unreasonably priced. From the tuna to the scalopinne to the three different pastas that were ordered everything was delicious and the portions were generous. Make a reservation. This place was very busy on a Sunday night in September.“

“Came here at just after 4pm today on a whim. Clearly we hadn’t checked their opening time ahead of our visit and when we rolled up it was closing. However as we were planning our next move their finance guys happened to be leaving and asked if we would like to be servers some whiskey and beer. Of course we said yes! He opened everything back up for us and proceeded to served some samples and a tasting flight. Then he gave us a little tour of the back. Clearly MacAloney’s finance guy cares about the bottom line because we bought a few bottles. But more than that he cares about service and keeping customers happy. What a great afternoon and what a great place! Oh and their whiskey is fantastic too.“

“If you ever visit Victoria, BC 🇨🇦❤️, you’ve gotta visit Fern. I got the Western Scrambler: scrambled with peppers, onions, kale, salsa, spicy vegan chorizo crumble, roasted potatoes, plus toasted sourdough. Their mixed berry crumble bar was also amazing. The Fern staff is friendly, fun, and welcoming. Updated from previous review on 2026-09-21“

“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. 😋😊😋“

“Great coffee, delicious baked goods. Beautiful interior and friendly staff. Happy to quietly set to write and enjoy a cup of coffee. Line up out the door was a testament to the quality, and the speed with which it moved a truly amazing feat by the staff.“

“Just go it’s very awesome“

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

“Beer, oysters, and atmosphere“

“Heard about this place awhile ago from 365prowrestling since they occasionally do live pro wrestling events here.

Originally went months ago on a Saturday afternoon but it was packed and too crowded to even be able to look around at all the unique crazy spectacular decor or to take photos since too many customers were there.

Kept seeing 5 star reviews so decided to finally go back and try the food this time.

Went on a weekday afternoon. Very quiet and relaxed this time with tons of empty tables and I was able to actually look around at everything this time.

My latte was in a huge Mug and over flowing in a good way. The server did an awesome job of bringing it to my table without spilling it since it was full to the max.

The Brisket sandwich I ordered was massive. I managed to finish most of it. Very tasty and I added the Hotwheels sauce they had on my table.

Awesome presentation and taste. Massive sandwich and they had the knife 🔪 sticking out of it.

Was definitely worth the price and I'll be coming back again to try another unique item to feast on in the future.

After my meal I was extremely full and totally stuffed but managed to look around in the cool gift/merchandise shop they have.

Stuffed raccoon in a Jean jacket on display and lots of cool posters and shirts 👕“

“A new fav, to be sure! Some of the best Victoria eats we've had in a while. The BC Spot Prawns and Grits were amazing! Great staff, lovely ambiance, delicious fresh mandarin mimosa and tasty food. We will be back to explore more.“

“Great coffee, amazing service and dog friendly too!!“

“Have had sandwiches and baking during the day before and all was wonderful. The porchetta sandwich was ahmazeballs. Finally got in for dinner tonight. Absolutely top shelf experience. The service was attentive, knowledgeable and subtle. I had the ling cod croquette appetizer: texture super smooth and the pickle sauce was perfect. For a main I had the rolled turkey with rhubarb, fiddle heads and turnip. Beautiful plating and the dish was delicious. The rhubarb was very subtle and tender and turkey was juicy and flavourful. Desert was the brûlée tart with rhubarb sorbet. Again delicious. If only we lived closer this would become a frequent special event restaurant. 100 percent, you should try it. If you are heading to the ferry, try and take the time to sample this hidden gem.“

“Phillips is a brewery in Victoria. It's easy to get to and this part of town has parking available in plenty of spots. It's pretty big and has a few dozen tables inside plus an outdoor seating area. They have plenty of beers on tap plus canned ones as well, on top of a merch shop in the front. They have windows so you can view the actual brewery which is cool. The staff here are awesome, very friendly and fun to chat with. This is a solid spot to grab a beer with friends or even some food, which they have a decent sized menu with good portions for a solid price.“

“Everything, food, service, atmosphere…all great!!“

“All vegan buffet, great variety and many healthy options as well as more indulgent savoury and sweet options.“

“New Years Eve was wonderful we ordered a full meal Donairs, Calamari Dish, Greek salad, and potatoes with Oregano and sauce. The Owner brought out the dishes on New Years Eve wonderful dishes and great home delivery. Thankyu for all the amazing Services and great meal!“

“It was an honor and privilege to be the VERY FIRST guests to this brand new Cidery tasting room!! Great selection of ciders and the flight consists of four ciders…you choose. I highly recommend this wonderful family owned business. Outdoor space is lovely with some cornhole and Jenga thrown in. So worth a quick drive from Victoria. Don’t miss some great cider!“

“Food is always amazing and healthy. Coffee is delicious! Atmosphere is cozy nestled in a little corner with the view of the beautiful woodlands behind.“

“Welcome to the Mecca of the Phillips beer world! You can just walk up to the bar and pay for your beer right there and then drink it at any of the lovely tables you want. It’s a breath of fresh air! (There’s a patio too!)“

“Sausage Pesto Muff Stack is the best thing on the menu 😋😋😋😋😋“

“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…“

“Vraiment très bon et service en français également!“

“We were in Victoria for a few days and this was the food highlight! We made sure to come back before we left for Lunch! Special shout out to Dan for giving us such awesome service and delicious food!“

“I’ll drive to get my beans!! Def my fav roaster on the island!! They also rock a mean raspberry scone. Yum!“

“Delicious matcha lattee and spinach pastry. Soo good. Highly recommend !“

“Love this place! Cozy atmosphere. Home away from home ❤️“

“Karan made a really great sandwich for me and was very professional, very nice, very great service! This store is very clean and the workers are very attentive, some shops you go to they don’t really care but I am very happy with my service!“

“I’ve never had a bad meal here. Top notch, every time.“

“I can’t believe such amazing food and service comes out of this tiny unassuming roadside stand!!!!! Friendly faces, best burger on the peninsula and so fresh. Their own beef and perfectly cooked local bacon, I’m sure the produce is from their farm as you can taste each individual component. Congratulations and I’ll definitely be back with friends and family 🍷🥩❤️🙏👍“

“Delicious sandwiches and baked goods, small, homey atmosphere, with a wide selection of tea and a good coffee menu.“

“The service is always great and the beers are always great, but when I goto a brewery I don’t want to hear a toddler crying and have two kids running around not listening to their parent. People with kids should be seated outside or find a family friendly restaurant.“

“Chef Laura Moore catered my wedding 15 years ago, with gorgeous, delicious and healthy food. She fed our 100 guests with beautiful artisan pizzas and salads, and was a pleasure to work with.“

“A very lovely place that I’m glad is in the downtown area. I haven’t tried all of their options, but their Onigiri is very well-prepared and the only thing I find myself eating if I need a quick lunch. Fairly priced, too, making going there often affordable.

Their imported items are amazing and vast in terms of what they have, along with having an array of great-tasting items. Their canned coffee is a personal favourite of mine. To mention, their staff is incredibly hospitable and helpful, and, at least from what I’ve personally experienced, have a stellar memory when it comes to regulars. Can’t recommend this place enough 🥳“

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

“Amazing service and delicious food. I highly recommend!“

“Absolutely phenomenal space. Food, atmosphere, service — all 10/10. We’ve visited Vancouver Island twice and have come here at least once both times!! Amazing gluten free options too.

Kaeden was our server and he was the best part of our experience!“

“Good food and service, will be back again“

“already commented on the prime rib. I used to live 5 minute walk away and ate here lots. we love it!“

“We visited Fiamo tonight for my son's 25th birthday and were not disappointed. We ordered the carbonara and the seafood pasta along with two caprese salads. Service was friendly, fast and attentive, food was beyond expectations and the outdoor patio made for a special evening for my son. Highly recommend this restaurant when you are in the mood for excellent Italian food.“

“Codiner and I stopped by on a sunny September afternoon before a flight. The west facing patio was wonderful. Our server arrived promptly and answered our questions well. Beverage options were limited but the Race Rocks draft beer we had was thirst quenching. We both had fish and chips (fish was of large portions, tasty not too greasy, the chips were a bit dry). There's free parking out front. Do stop in when you are in the Sydney area.“

“I have tried 649 and the place on Yates n Govt and this place is the best imho. The chicken and sauces are delicious, probably because the chicken is locally sourced. check it our!“
