Restaurants near Malahat

“They care, they try, and they succeed. On top of all that, their food was fun to eat! They deserve our money.”

“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.”

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

“We were there for dinner and had chicken lababdar and lamb vindaloo with some heat, along with rice and garlic naan. Both meals were delicious and had a good amout of heat (both milder and hotter options were available). The service was attentive and very friendly with our server taking time to discuss options. Staff (owner?) and our server both asked how our food was. All in all it was an excellent and pleasant meal. I will definitely go back.”

“The chicken biryani was amazing! They do take out 15 min before close and we got some food late one night and wow we were impressed. Best biryani I’ve had in a long time with so much flavour. I got the shahi paneer and they flavour it perfectly and give huge portions with loud of paneer and rice!

This is our new go to spot. Indian food has always been a go to, even when I lived in Toronto. So impressed with the quality and taste. Cute restaurant too, I want to eat in soon. Belmont market makes it convenient. 15/10!!!!”

“We had a fantastic dinner at Wild Mountain this weekend - especially the endive salad! Plus the service was warm. Cannot wait to go again. 💚”

“.🥲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 🥲.”

“I was fortunate enough to be around lots of Vietnamese Food Restaurants, before I retired. Vina Taste is now what I rate as the Best of the Best. The Family that owns this restaurant, runs the restaurant. The food is so good that I knew I had to write a review. So in Langford & Hungry? VINA TASTE!”

“Great food and service! Recommend!”

“My children and I go to the Gecko often and have never been disappointed. Great waitress and cook. We really love the ice-cream orbs.”

“Peter's is a great spot for excellent sushi. Great hospitality and kind service. Peter himself is also a lovely human. Go try this place yourself. You won't leave disappointed!”

“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.”

“HUGE RAVE!!! Wow. AMAZING EXPERIENCE!! Never been in this store yet. Today I had the best experience welcomed upon entry by the owner. Very very very nice man!! Explaining the homemade take home Enchiladas and other amazing looking Mexican food. (Which ones he preferred) I lost my bank card couple days ago and only had cash was a dollar short for the bill and get said no problem... Let me take the Enchiladas and the Tamale anyway. I felt bad cause I wanted to leave a tip.. I will be returning tomorrow to give the well deserved tip and the dollar I was short. Definitely will be returning to support this amazing local business!!!!”

“Who would have thought this little Sushi place would have such incredible sushi? The sushi is excellent and they have a bunch of gluten free stuff as well! The service is always great and the owner is the nicest lady! If I could give it more than 5 stars, I surely would!!”

“Such an incredible spot!!! We went for a quick stop— but the live music by Peter sucked us in, and the service from Riley kept us there! 10/10 for both atmosphere and beer. Highly recommend.”

“I really love this place. I just wish they were open seven days a week. Great spot for a treat and a coffee or an awesome sandwich! Love the outdoor seating. About $25 for can of pop, cookie and sandwich.”

“Food is always delicious and staff and atmosphere warm and welcoming.”

“Best pizza joint in greater Victoria!! All the toppings you can imagine for just one price, you can’t beat that! Great atmosphere and very friendly staff”

“We’ve been coming here since 2019 and the sushi is always very good and service is super friendly. Even better it is still, by far, the best sushi value for the money on the Island. We should have taken more photos before we devoured everything!”
