“This was a great find. Datenight was good. Great service“

“I had a truly wonderful experience here! 🤩 The coffee was incredibly good, perfectly brewed and so enjoyable. ☕ Their food items were also delicious, every bite was a delight. 😋 I spent an amazing time at this cafe. Highly recommend! ✨“

“Located across from the British Columbia Museum Mary’s is the ideal stop after visiting the museum. Great foods, fast service and fun atmosphere“

“Delicious food prepared in Cheffy’s own kitchen, good selection of British food, very convenient when cooking isn’t an option, great variety, inexpensive (the fewer visits to the supermarket, the more the savings), the menu changes each week and friendly, helpful staff. Hint: Their delicious scones, with a different variety every week, are very popular and sell out quickly, so it’s a good idea to order them early in the week. 🥮“

“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!“

“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.“

“Wonderful experience all around! The server Natalie was very attentive & proactively offered replacements upon hearing of some dietary restrictions. She genuinely engaged in conversation & checked on us regularly providing a hot water top-up. The food was delicious with plenty of variety & options. In addition, we had a lovely view of the Italian Gardens.“

“We stopped at The Blue Poppy Restaurant for lunch during our visit to The Butchart Gardens and were pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. For a cafeteria-style restaurant inside a popular tourist attraction, the quality exceeded our expectations.

We ordered the seafood pasta, which was generously loaded with prawns and scallops. It was rich, flavorful, and so delicious that our kids polished it off in no time.

We also tried the Butter Chicken Poutine, a Canadian classic with a creative twist. Crispy French fries were topped with cheese curds, rich butter chicken curry, roasted cashews, and other flavorful toppings. It was absolutely outstanding—comfort food at its finest and almost impossible to stop eating after the first bite.

The restaurant overlooks the beautiful gardens through large picture windows, making it a lovely place to relax and enjoy the scenery while you eat.

Service is cafeteria-style but fast and well organized, with friendly staff and prompt delivery to your table. A wonderful lunch stop during a visit to The Butchart Gardens.“

“Cute little location with friendly staff“

“So good! Had the most lovely server, food came fast and was delicious. So glad we stopped here for breakfast!“

“I frequently choose this restaurant. Love the outdoor summer dining. It’s like dining in a tree house. Staff are lovely and the food is always delicious. In winter, it’s cozy. Beautifully decorated.“

“I love Adrienne’s. Such a cute place with tasty lunch and snacks. Nice staff too!“

“Our first impression was amazing. Our hostess, Neveah, was so friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. The food and the atmosphere were wonderful.“

“We had a great happy hour at Lodge Kitchen & Bar. The fried prawns, onion rings, and truffle fries were outstanding, while the margarita pizza was just okay. The service was professional, and the beautiful interior made for a wonderful atmosphere.“

“This place is a gem...that gets lost amongst the Golfer Clientele....
You do not need to be a golfer to enjoy Bill Mattick's Restaurant.
I love this place to take my book and sit on patio for appies and a cider SOLO, or daytime cocktails with the girls, or an early evening date night with the hubby.
...especially on the patio, in the sunshine with the gorgeous landscaping and sound of birds.
I highly recommend the Crab Dip (curry undertone) with chips, or the Halibut burger and yam fries.

The prices are reasonable.

I love that they have merridale berry 🍓 ciders.

The service is fast, kind and attentive.

“This place showed huge empathy when my mom was in the area for surgery & my dad kept coming in for coffee, meals etc. Not only did they remember my dad, they were kind, supportive & always asking him how he was & mom too! Above and beyond barely touches it, I can’t thank those working here enough!“

“Wow. Just wow.
This is our second time with Joshua as our server, and yet again he continues to amaze us with his spectacular service.
He is so funny, attentive, and quick. The host, Kartik, also shared similar qualities.
We highly recommend this whitespot location and will be back soon!!“
