“Service was excellent, workers are always very polite at the one I go to in Colwood. Their Italien Cheesy Bread is AWESOME!! Go for that and a Detroit deep dish 3 meat! Can't go wrong with that!!”

“I was looking for a nearby pizza take away and found this place via google maps. I ordered direct at the location and had a nice chat with the staff. The pizza was good and the children loved their cheese-only pizza.”

“Absolutely delicious savory and sweet preparations. Incredibly fresh bread, and attention to detail of the food. Service was super, Pilar our server was delightful. Nice variety of teas, and located right next to the beautiful Italian garden. Will definitely go back.”

“Our waitress Mercedes was 10/10 fab. From the start she was able to recommend a new grape for us based on our preferences, and then at the end of our dinner she gave us a complimentary dessert “just because she liked us”?? Wow. Mercedes is the best. Love her!!We were visiting Victoria from Calgary, for a wedding. We’re big wine drinkers, love Italian but half of the time find it either underwhelming or overly rich. This food was neither of that. I ordered the rack of lamb which was honestly double the size that I was expecting, and fab, and my husband ordered the FRUTTI di MARE della CASA that was the best both of us have had. Sometimes it’s too creamy, or too rich. This was perfect. Just enough citrus garlic and wine.10/10. We were actually recommended this place by our cab driver. Best recommendation ever.”

“My first time here after hearing wonderful comments about Esquimalt Bake Shop having the best donuts in Victoria. This is so true! They are THE BEST! Not a heavy donut like other places. Very flavourful. You can taste the flavors. Worth the trek!”

“My husband convinced me to try Gyrosa for 3 weeks. Added we make Greek food weekly as we love a Mediterranean diet. To be completely honest, I agreed with zero expectations. Moving forward any fast, to go restaurant for Greek, this is it !! Or even for that Mediterranean crave. Absolutely amazing service, amazing quality. My experience was delicious, I could not recommend more. ❤️”

“The service is exceptional, with attentive staff providing solid recommendations. Te food is just above average, but the atmosphere is welcoming, making it a great spot to savor authentic Indian cuisine.”

“Although I am not exactly the target audience for an English Tea room, I have to say that Butchart far exceeded any expectations! Although we have been to the Gardens many times over the last 4 decades, this is the first time that my wife suggested that we take “High Tea” before our stroll through the amazing gardens... And of course it proved to be a wonderful idea as I relished every bite and sip (we also had the 3-glass “taster” which paired with the food nicely)... I will absolutely be taking tea on our next visit!”

“I have been to many fine dining restaurants however the experience at Marilena Cafe with Josh was phenomenal and next to none. He had great hospitality, recommendations and attention to detail.We tried oysters, sushi, pasta, steel head, chicken and desserts. Couldn’t find a single dish that i didn’t like. They have great vegetarian options as well.We were so happy that we visited the next day as well and had the best time. Highly recommended.Vegetarian options: Great garden sushi and pasta”

“Great service and food, plus a nice view of the harbour if you can get a spot in the sheltered outdoor patio. The steelhead and sablefish main dishes in particular are quite good. Service is very attentive and checks in regularly to see if you need anything or to refill water. There is also convenient and abundant parking in the adjacent Wharf street parking lot, just be sure to enter via the right lane as you can't turn left into the lot.”

“I moved to victoria from alberta and was looking for a restaurant and I came across this place and very happy I did as it brings back a feeling of mom's cooking in a friendly and piecful atmosphere, the food is made with love and you can taste it in every bite!”

“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.”

“just stopped by today and had the most scrumptious donuts!!! i am particularly enamoured with the lemon crunch! it tastes a bit like fruit loops to me, in the most mouth watering way! each donut i had was delicious and totally worth making the stop :)”

“Excellent establishment and outstanding staff! The menu and fusion of the different dishes are absolutely amazing. Nestled in an eclectic venue in the heart of Victoria’s historic downtown particularly as the sun is setting, the Block Kitchen & Bar makes for a perfect date night.”

“This is one of my go-to places for lunch. Top notch fried chicken and great people here. I buy the 3 Piece Lunch Deal and all flavors are great but I like the spicy the best. Savory soy is also really good and fries and very crispy.* I thought I reviewed this place before but I guess I was wrong.”

“A lovely place to get quick bites and also pocket friendly in a downtown full of pricey restaurants. We had the Salmon sandwich and the tacos. The taco isn’t sufficient if you are an hungry adult. But the sandwich is good enough. Try the fried pickles too. Later we tried the salmon chowder which was flavorful. The place is crowded. Not sure about parking since we were staying in downtown and this place was close by. Definitely a beautiful view .”

“Absolutely incredible lunch here! Kayla W made our entire day with her above and beyond service. We were so grateful to have her as our server. We all said this was the best experience we’ve had in years. Food and drinks were perfect. We will definitely be back again, thank you for making this day so very special!”

“I love their tacos. I have found myself coming back for more on the regular. Amazing owners, amazing food. Could not recommend enough. My significant other from New York could not physically get enough of them and ate tacos almost everyday he was in town and they were open. If you have not tried them, do it! You will not be disappointed.”

“Toro is a very beautiful restaurant. It looks and feels like you are under the sea.Had a very amazing Bento boxFood was fresh and beautifully presented. Green tea was also wonderful and beautifully presented.Will definitely return and suggest this place!?❣️”

“The atmosphere there is so good if you are looking for an European style restaurant. To be honest, the food there is just fine. There is no doubt it’s good and better than merchandise but not as good as other Italian or French. Generally, the food there is healthy and plain.”

“This was a lovely surprise. We were in the area and searched for nearby restaurants. It was our first time having Filipino food, and it was delicious! The staff were welcoming and helpful in explaining the different dishes.We look forward to our next visit.”

“I can't help but buy more snacks here than I can realistically eat in a day because it's so rare to find vegan treats (and especially *good* vegan treats).”

“One of my friend house warming party from Telugu states food was very tastyGobi manchuriya, paneer butter masala, Egg plant curry, Sombat, Riata, papad, Gulab JaminAwesome South Indian delicious food”

“LOVED this place! First time here and I will definitely be a regular. The food was creative with a mix of wonderful flavours and fresh ingredients. Service was impeccable. Friendly, professional, made thoughtful suggestions and just inviting. Sat outside to watch the world go by. Highly recommend this ”

“Location is perfect, ambiance is fantastic. Food was absolute fire. I had the Louis Steelhead and holy cow - had to be easily the best salmon dish I've ever had. Portions were perfect. Servers appeared slightly unkempt - felt like they could've dressed nicer - but who am I to judge. Will go again.”

“Best food in town. This is the fourth time we are here. Every time we visited Victoria, we came eat here for sure. Love the food, the service and the environment. Highly recommended!”
