29 Best Seafood Restaurants near Brentwood Bay

“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!“

“This is a review from August 2, 2025: We stopped at Shuck Taylor’s on a whim while off the ship for the day, and I’m so glad we did. Even without a reservation, they accommodated the two of us last minute with genuine hospitality. It’s a simple, no-frills spot, but the food was absolutely extraordinary.

The attention to detail was impeccable—from the freshly shucked oysters served with a pile of freshly grated horseradish to their own house-made oyster spirit, which added an unexpected flavor burst to a glorious Bloody Caesar. The Dungeness crab was to die for—sweet, rich, and perfectly prepared.

One of the standout dishes was the buffalo oysters—totally unique and so delicious I wanted to order more, but I was already too full. Sitting at the bar felt casual, but the warmth and attentiveness of the staff (including, I believe, the owner) really elevated the whole experience.

Highly recommended. This place is a gem“

“Just go it’s very awesome“

“My first visit to Finn's was 2 weeks ago to take a friend for a birthday lunch. I enjoyed it so much, I just returned with another friend her birthday lunch! We appreciated the restaurant's thoughtful acknowledgement of the special occasion. :) Finn's has an elegant ambience with opportunity for quiet conversation. The menu is reasonably priced and expansive, including options for casual meals as well as more robust main courses. The food is delicious and all beautifully presented. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and patient with lingering diners. I've added it to my go-to list of downtown restaurants!“

“Good food and service. Enjoyed oysters and fresh sardines.“

“Twice I have been to End Dive and sat in the rays of the sun that gleam through wide windows, brightening the cozy bar and resplendent ceiling, and illuminating the truth: that dishes and drinks at End Dive are not just special, they are transient singularities that must be tasted to be believed.

The chatter and laughter of friends and surrounding patrons vibrates the air and my table, sending reverberations through my drink and up my arm, colliding in my brain with the explosion of rainbow flavors from the Lebanese squash; the distinguished smoked cauliflower; and the inevitable and unparalleled pasta.

I look at the surface of my drink, coated with squid ink Riesling, and smile at the dark, shimmering black. This is life, this is living - this is End Dive.“

“Staff and atmosphere were pleasant. We thoroughly enjoyed the seafood chowder and crispy chicken sandwich with fries. We would come again“

“Perfect start to a beautiful day!“

“I dined in with a friend. I ordered the pork fried rice and mapu tofu, absolutely delicious! The staff were friendly, the food came out fast, the waiter refilled our waters and tea pot regularly. The waiter was amazing, he asked for the preferred spice level of the mapu tofu and when I blanked, he recommended medium spice and it was perfect! My only issue was the bathroom that probably could use a little renovating, but overall very positive experience.“

“From the moment you walk through the door to the moment you leave, the professional and attentive staff take care of every detail. Restaurant is large - it has great ambience, the layout provides a personal and intimate feeling despite there being many tables. The food is superb, we plan on returning to make our way through the great menu. It is the best place we have eaten at in Canada for food, service and ambience. We highly recommend the seafood tower as a way to taste through some of the menu. The grilled octopus rivalled what we have eaten in Italy. The pork belly was cooked to perfection. The wine list is extensive and expertly curated.“

“I eat Steve’s Pokes at least twice a week. I have not found a better Poke bowl out there. This includes my regular business trips to Honolulu. The blend of fish, vegetables, tobiko and Ginger are a delicious and filling meal all while being good for your health.“

“Breakfast: Highly recommend the crab cake benedict. Delicate. Lovely service. Great start to the day. Thank you.“

“Excellent food. Feels fresh and relatively healthy for fast food. Would like to be able access nutritional info but haven't found that anywhere. Very yummy and great customer service.“

“no service was slow and the batter on the fish was bland and the server didn't fill up our empty drinks. 80 dollar meal.. want perfect service and food and clean your washrooms more“

“The best Japanese Restaurant so far…Highly recommended…“

“So good and so fresh! It’s worth the drive! The Hawaii tea is so good!“

“Thank you so much for the fantastic service and dinner. Everything was perfect for my wife’s birthday party.“

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

“Good food and service, will be back again“

“The managers and staff members always carry great hospitality which makes for an incredible atmosphere and the cooks always turn out great food. Love this place!! Lifetime subscriber!“

“It was a wonderful dinner at The Keg. We ordered the Prime Rib, Sirloin Oscar, Smoked Gouda Spinach Dip, and mushrooms Neptune - all were presented well and at the correct temperature. Our server was excellent, ensuring we were well hydrated and that all our requests were met. We, of course, missed not receiving the traditional bread basket; not all of us are gluten-free or skipping carbs. An option for the bread basket would have been welcomed. Overall, it was a great evening in The Keg's traditionally lively atmosphere.“

“It's like stepping into the past, the food is excellent and the family that has run this restaurant since before I was born are wonderful. It's a cash only restaurant that does good breakfast and fish and chips and even better Chinese food. The price is super reasonable and come quick and fresh everytime.“

“Cute little place. The fish was perfect, the fries were good. The gravy was not good, it was runny, lacked flavour and was $4.50. The waitress ran the till and was alone so she was busy, we waited a while for refills, but she was friendly.“

“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 😊“

“Great food, best in Victoria“

“I'm giving this place 5 stars even though I rate the food at a 4, because of what role this place is trying to fulfill it does a good job at - a counter service Japanese food place. I think a lot of people coming here expect standard sit down dining style sushi and food and are disappointed with that. This place is meant to get something at the counter, then either sit and eat or take it to go.
The food is good, not amazing, but VERY good value for the price and quick service. For example, a teriyaki chicken bowl that will fill you right up is $8 and ready in 5 minutes. You're not going to get that anywhere else around here, and it tastes just fine.
You're not coming here for high end sushi dining, you're coming here for basic but good food at a decent price.“

“Nice spot to have a drink and dinner. Our drinks were good (martinis and beer/wine), but the food was a mixed bag. The muscles and clams were excellent, but fish and chips were bad (actually an embarrassment by BC standards) - over fried and a small, overcooked piece of halibut. I would go back, but avoid the fish&chips“

“This was the best food and well worth every penny. They were extremely busy but our food came out in a very timely manner and hot! The tea was hot and yummy! So much food for a very reasonable price.“

“We almost didn't come here because of the negative reviews but I have to say that we had a great time and the food was delicious!

The service was fast and friendly. We will definitely stop back by on our next visit to Victoria!“
