These guys are so welcoming and it is delightful to have great service with a smile as they deliver top food. Yummy! Will go back soon. Top food for Victoria and area! Try it you will be hooked!“

“One of my best restaurant experiences ever. From the moment we walked in the service was great. We were greeted with a very friendly but professional hostess and then quickly taken to our seats. Our server was very attentive and was able to answer any questions we had about the menu. The food was great and the portions huge. Would definitely return!“

“The best of the best! All 6 of us were blown away by the various appetizers, entrees, and desserts. The place merits a James Beard award. Waitstaff was amazing, too! One of my five best meals ever! Dining outdoors surrounded by a billion flowers was fun too. A most memorable experience. Shane and Gia were most attentive, informative and also memorable. Certain members of our party may need to consider attending Platelickers Anonymous meetings now.

Edit: 13 hours after our delicious dinner, we all returned for a 5 star high tea! We were greeted by the incomparable Shane and seated once again at the beautiful outdoor table we'd enjoyed the previous night. Our server Pilar was impeccably helpful and attentive. All 6 of us felt we'd enjoyed an extended perfect moment, relieved of our usual cares and travails. Thanks again!“

“My group of four truly enjoyed our evening. The food was the best we've had in a long time! From start to finish, the experience was fantastic and memorable. Excellent staff, service and food and the fireworks show truly was the icing on top. We even had a gorgeous view over the grounds to the water. We will definitely be back! Butcharts is our fav place to go. Thank you!“

“We got the chicken buffalo burger and chicken honey mustard burger, both with the Cesar salad. The salads were great! The burgers were good, but a little hard to eat. I think the chicken was too thick and a little too gummy maybe. Would love to try something else there.“

“If you are looking for a delightful latte experience, you must visit the warm, inviting wood deck of Macciato Caffe & Paninoteca. I was able to cozy up my scooter right next to my table and sip and savour their delicious Lavender Latte while watching the florist from “Flowers on Top” select gorgeous peonies from their spring flower selection across the street. Gorgeous spot, simply delightful!“

“These Macarons are incredible! Soft, chewy and so flavourful. My favourite was the chocolate & salted caramel. My son’s favourite was the watermelon. I would also like to note that you could see right into the bakery and it was so clean. It looked brand new! We were impressed to find out they’d been open for over a decade. Well done.“

“Love their fresh foods. Favorite is their soup.“

“Was looking for caffeine and soup and ended up with an iced Americano and congee? Never expected to see congee but given my dental procedure just prior, I decided to give it a try. Congee was amazing! Not what you’d expect from a Chinese congee and in the best way. Americano was super smooth without the over-roasted bitterness of some better known coffee brands. I was on the island for a visit and will be back at my next opportunity.“

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

“We were on vacation in Victoria and enjoyed eating great cultural food. The Tibetan Kitchen Cafe was on our list. We wandered to find it. When I finally saw the small round sign at the entrance. Was I glad we did! We loved the food! We had lamb curry and loved the brown basmati rice. My blueberry lassi and my husband's mango lassi were great toppers.“

“Nice quick spot to grab a bite. Probably the most affordable option at the food court. The service was fast and efficient.

Fries are good. New York Fries tends to be consistent in quality.

Bay Centre convenient location. I appreciate the biodegradable cutlery.

Interested in trying poutine next time“

“Tasmin was our server When we arrived, it was very busy, Tasmin seated us quickly in the "VIP" section which made my kids very excited. She was an absolute wonderful server, she was personable, funny and very knowledgable and helpful with the menu. She made our visit one of our favorite memories from our vacation. I would highly recommend this restaurant to families, it is a great atmosphere. Also, they offer a gluten free menu if you have dietary restrictions. Absolute 5 star review from us, we hope to visit again soon, thankyou Tasmin !“

Amazing matcha as well, and some vegan options are available.“

“CALZONE ‼️👅💦 deeeeeeeelicious“

“The food was great but the service and attentiveness was excellent! I'm newly celiac and the staff worked very hard to come up with substitutions to accommodate a strict gluten free diet and avoid any cross contamination. I told them let the chef decide for me and they brought out a beautiful platter of fantastic sushi, even decorated for the birthday we were celebrating. 10/10 will be back for sure (also the best pickled ginger in town!)“
