“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!“

“Just a shout out to Anna who was an amazing server! Thank you for a great experience as always!“

“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.“

“Amazing pho! Great service! Definitely worth having to pay for parking to come here! Best Pho I have had in Victoria!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“We were up visiting and needed to kill a little time before check-in, so we thought we would grab a bite at the pub downstairs. The food was delicious but the service was even better. Our waitress, Kate (sp?), provided exceptional service. She was affable, attentive, and very accommodating. One member of our party has significant dietary restrictions, but Kate and the kitchen staff went above and beyond to make sure that she could was able to get her food as well.“

“Biryani dishes are incredibly beautiful. Rice and chicken perfectly cooked. So tasty and such a comfort when you are hungry. Biryani second to none, no wonder the restaurants name. Quality and generous portions. I now eat here at least 3x's a month.“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Such a gem! Five and Dime Diner in Sidney is an absolute must. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the friendliest hostess (I sadly didn’t catch her name, but she was so welcoming), and the atmosphere instantly felt warm, nostalgic, and just happy. Our server Chelsea was the cutest vibe ever! She fit the place perfectly. Super friendly, personable, and made the whole experience feel really personal and relaxed. You can tell when someone genuinely enjoys what they do, and it shows. The food? Banging. Great prices and seriously delicious. I had a roasted chicken wrap with tzatziki and a bunch of fresh veggies, plus a side salad, and it was SO good. Fresh, flavourful, and filling without being heavy. And the little details?? Instead of the usual mint at the end, they give you a piece of retro bubble gum. Such a fun, nostalgic touch that totally fits the diner’s vibe. Overall, the food, the service, the atmosphere....everything was amazing. I can’t wait to come back. Five and Dime Diner is one of those places that just makes you feel good. 💕 Thanks everyone!“

“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!“

“Amazingly friendly and accommodating service. Food was fantastic and the duck was to die for 😊. Had to stay alive though for the crepe with Brie…OMG!!! Worth every penny of the experience. Wine list is fantastic and there are some great open selections. Happy to come again!!“

“My family has been going here monthly for a while now. Super friendly staff, great food and snacks, gigantic assortment of games. We always look forward to our next visit!“

“.🥲Normally have an ok experience. Today though had the Austin Benny andwas very disappointed. When they state porkbelly and you get shaved roast porkbelly that is not seasoned and because it is thinner than their bacon super chewy and distracts from the other flavours of the dish which are okay. If they rubbed it and braised the belly and cut proper thick slices for porkbelly it would do the oppisite and add to the dish 🥲.“

“Excellent Persian food! We tried the Kobideh, Donair, and Chicken wrap. I will definitely be back to try their Baghali lamb later.“

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

“Today was our first meal at Dosa Paragon - we will be back for the best Indian food in Victoria. We are glad the server recommended Chicken 65 as it was truly delicious alongside the flavourful chutneys. The chef owner chatted with us about the traditional ways and ingredients they use. Highly recommend the food and friendly service.“

“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.“

“Great food and amazing people with impeccable customer service. I always feel so welcome and the food is to die for, definitely recommend this spot“

“A nice little place for breakfast. Don't go here if you are looking for anything fancy, but if you want a diner-style breakfast with friendly service then this is your place. Prices are very affordable and it's a quiet place most mornings. Would definitely recommend if you just want an affordable and simple breakfast.“

“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 🍷🥩❤️🙏👍“

“best falafel in town“

“One of the best pizzas I ever had. Great service. Worth travelling for.“

“Thought I’d try Chicken 649 as I heard they really good Korean chicken. I ordered the 5 piece daily special, original flavour. A good deal for awesome chicken, crunchy yummy seasoned batter on the outside and tender juicy chicken on the inside. The side potatoes wedges were big, battered & very tasty. The coleslaw was okay. It was a good sized portion and was more than enough for 2-3 people. Oh and they throw in a pop as well. I want to go back and try the other flavours. I highly recommend.“
