50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Brentwood Bay

“Heavenly!
The patio tables are divine.

Many thanks to the kitchen for consistently creating outstanding entrees, deserts, and tea services.
Service teams were mostly exceptional - especially Arden, Sean, and Neda.

The atmosphere is choice, and the delightful hostesses will do their best to accommodate. The inside window tables have excellent garden views.

On this vacation to Victoria, we visited Butchart Gardens five of the days and dined at the Dining Room all five days.

Fabulous! Best of the Best!“

“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!“

“As a vegan, I couldn't wait to visit Fern Cafe last year while vacationing on Vancouver Island. I was thrilled to walk in a bakery that's 100% vegan and absolutely loved everything, from their coffee to food, to the friendly service and the atmosphere. I am about to return to the Island in a week and can't wait to drop by again!“

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

“A great experience and exceptional food. Simply put. I felt very taken care of at this restaurant. My water was never empty and the waitresses and hostess's made sure we felt comfortable. I have absolutely no complaints and the vibe was so nice in this place. Complimentary focaccia was super fluffy and fresh. Highly recommend the calamari and scaloppine di Maiale“

“I shall have to come back and try it again, it was very good. I had the Takoyaki Appetizer, deep fried octopus balls and for the main course Black Arashi Tan Tan - Black sesame base with pork belly, egg, spinach, bamboo shoots, crushed peanuts, chili oil, garlic, green onion and nori seaweed.“

“The atmosphere, food and service were ASTOUNDING! We have not experienced such incredible food and service in a long time and Block nailed it!“

“We had a delicious dinner here and enjoyed the lovely view of the Saanich Inlet and surrounding areas. We ordered the Chateau Briand beef tenderloin for 2 and it was done to perfection served with seasonal vegetables and mashed potatoes with parmesan fries as well. Service was excellent.“

“I love how tiny and welcoming it feels 😎 always busy and the flavors are delicious 😋 Highly recommend ✨️“

“This is a quaint café with ample indoor and outdoor seating. It has very large windows and is pleasantly bright. The outdoor patio looks out on Victoria's Gorge; a very relaxing scene. Service staff are very friendly. All in all a pleasant place to spend some time. Be aware that it can be a little tricky to find since it is at the back of an apartment complex. I didn't have a chance to try out the food but it looks very good.“

“So good!!! Went with my sisters and cousin (all of us from the UK so we know a good scone!). Absolutely DELICIOUS!! Service was also first class, super friendly 💕“

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

“What’s not to like about ice cream in a freshly made waffle cone?! Mostly gluten free and some vegan options and locally sourced ingredients.“

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

“So, this was a take a picture before I ate fail; I even forgot to take a picture of my empty tray. But thankfully, there were some very kind people at Wheelies who allowed me to take a shot of another sandwich before it went out to the customer who ordered it.

I had their special and it was delicious. A masterfully creative play on a Big Mac (my inference - apologies if I got that wrong). It was supremely satisfying and a flavour explosion. So many things on their menu look absolutely outstanding. I can't wait to go back and work my way through it, and also their cocktails menu.

I'm gonna give a special mention to Working Culture who pointed me in the direction of Wheelies. They were on my to patronise list for today as I continued my search for amazing sandwiches, but alas, they were out. I'll pre-order next time.

Definitely stop by Wheelies if you're in the area. It's also a really cool vibe.“

“Working culture is 10/10. Their pastries are amazing, their sandwiches are amazing, their loaves are amazing. I have never had anything from them that I haven't liked. Their swag is also reasonably priced and very fun. We have one of their tote bags and love it.“

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

“Went in for dinner on a recommendation from a friend. OH MY. We went in thinking it would just be another dinner spot - we were so wrong. From when you first enter & you smell the fresh herbs to when you sit down around the table on super comfortable chairs/couches. WOW. The staff were attentive, personal and yet not in your zone too much. Helpful with advice on the food and menu. 10/10. The food was on another planet. We had three dishes in total - one appy and two mains. Cooked perfectly, extremely fresh flavours and large portions. The naan bread… just wow. Delish! Will be coming back and telling everyone about this. They deserve a line out the door.“

“Wonderful flavour, piping hot , and excellent service. Highly recommended!!!“

“First time there, from Nanaimo for a Geocaching event. I had a London Fog and a Cranberry Lemon Scone. They were both tasty.“

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

“Good food and good people“

“Fantastic!!!! The food was truly amazing and the prices are so reasonable! The bacon was thick and chewy and crispy- just perfect! Of course the biscuits were exceptional and perfectly cut and toasted. I had the egg and bacon Sammy and added tomatoes and avocado. Perfect!!! Group of 6 all raved! A diverse, spread on a theme, and I'm not a gravy fan and it too was delicious. The special steak had homemade dips and stuff, and the vege was it was incredibly complex and yummy looking. I WILL BE BACK!!! The baked goods looked fantastic, but I'm so full!“

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

Grateful for this amazing place with amazing staff and comfort food, and the best fuzeball memories being made🔥“

“Amazing vibe, I like the quietness of the place, Sunday morning and not more than a few people here. Just read about the business and what its purpose is and I find this extremely incredible, having found out I have adhd and some other things going on in the past few years this really helps with being myself. Thanks so much for the wonderful cup of coffee.“

“Incredible breads & pizza dough, it made the best vegan pizza😋 Wildfire has always been my favourite bread.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Great service will be back cheers from Ontario“

“Service is definitely slow as others have said, but just keep that in mind when you’re going and you won’t be disappointed! This was easily one of the top five meals I’ve had in my life — the presentation was gorgeous and the food was absolutely divine! There was so much unique flavour and the menu has a ton of variety!“

“Great staff and owners, delicious food, really enjoyed the homemade potatoes w hot sauce and ketchup. The Eggs Benny w fresh spinach, mushrooms and avocado topped with hollidaise and a sprinkle of cheese hit the spot.“

“Decided to try the lunch deal because they were close to my work. Incredibly friendly staff, accommodated me when I was having card troubles one day. Delicious pizza always fresh. 6.99 for 2 very large slices by todays standards and that includes a drink. Would pay 10 just for the quality of the experience. Young man that works there every day during lunch hour is one of the nicest people I’ve come across since moving back to island. Please support this business!“
