“Already a huge fan of Jacks Place on Bear Mountain. Hearing they opened up somewhere new in Sidney, we headed out to try it out. Great atmosphere, delicious food and even had Guinness on draft! (Rare to find as a Brit abroad!) Can’t wait to visit again.“

“Dropped by for a quick bite at noon on a Saturday. We got seated immediately. Almost immediately it became apparent that the Niche could become a recurring habit. It featured many of our local food favourites that we have come to enjoy. Meats from Haus Sausage. Bread from Working Culture. Maiiz products, Island Eko Pantry, Fernwood coffee including a new to us Coffee Cream Soda. Niche also make a fermented Habernos hot sauce in house that has a pretty potent kick. Glad to see how they are supporting our local suppliers. Food well done!“

The food is consistently impressive — fresh ingredients, great flavours, and pizzas that are always cooked just right. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. From the crust to the toppings, everything tastes high-quality and made with care. Overall, Pizzazz Pizza is a place that delivers not just great food, but great service and a great vibe every single time. Highly recommended!“

“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.“
