11 Best Salad Restaurants near Brentwood Bay

“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.“

“Already a huge fan of Jacks Place on Bear Mountain. Hearing they opened up somewhere new in Sidney, we headed out to try it out. Great atmosphere, delicious food and even had Guinness on draft! (Rare to find as a Brit abroad!) Can’t wait to visit again.“

“Dropped by for a quick bite at noon on a Saturday. We got seated immediately. Almost immediately it became apparent that the Niche could become a recurring habit. It featured many of our local food favourites that we have come to enjoy. Meats from Haus Sausage. Bread from Working Culture. Maiiz products, Island Eko Pantry, Fernwood coffee including a new to us Coffee Cream Soda. Niche also make a fermented Habernos hot sauce in house that has a pretty potent kick. Glad to see how they are supporting our local suppliers. Food well done!“

“Nice little upscale wine bar, some creative dishes and nice ambience for Victoria, scallop aguachile was a highlight, . I'm not a big wine connoisseur so I may have not enjoyed it to the fullest, the selection of apertifs was a nice alternative though. Will go back at some point, it was very nice but not quite in the upper echelon of Victoria dining.“

“Visited in the summer, nice weather, perfect for a bibimbap lunch! The food is pretty good. It was a one-lady operation when we were there. Love the food! And the price is fair.

This is not an indoor seating restaurant, more like a hawker stall. There are plenty of outdoor seats in the courtyard.“

“amazing service delicious food“

“Having noticed this place on skip for a few years now, l I finally got a chance to try. Outside it does look really inviting almost like a nursery. But upon entering, yeah not so much. Even the owner seemed really tired and I decided to lower my expectations. But as we're aware, never judge a book by it's cover as I was simply confounded with the awesome spice and flavours in every bite. I had the jerk chicken with rice and beans, upon reading the reviews, and everything on the plate was spot on. I've had jerk chicken several times, yet this time it was unique...like home food vibes! One of the best meals this year I'd say. Rustic and without too much fuss.“

“Pizzazz Pizza in Victoria, British Columbia is easily one of the best local pizza spots around. Every time you walk in, the staff greet you with genuine friendliness and great energy, making the whole experience feel welcoming. They’re attentive, quick, and always make sure you’re taken care of, whether you’re grabbing a slice on the go or ordering for the whole family.

The food is consistently impressive — fresh ingredients, great flavours, and pizzas that are always cooked just right. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. From the crust to the toppings, everything tastes high-quality and made with care. Overall, Pizzazz Pizza is a place that delivers not just great food, but great service and a great vibe every single time. Highly recommended!“

“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!“
