“Never been there before but its a quiet atmosphere didn't know what to think of it. But we ordered the Zoo sticks (zucchini sticks) the absolutely best and I travel all over Canada. Then we ordered the steak mashed potatoes and broccoli done to perfection 👌 and then to start on the drinks I had the rose sangria fizz not only was it beautiful to look at but my taste buds loved it too. Jesse our server/bartender easy going, attentive a great asset to that team and establishment. Next time I come through I definitely will be stopping over and over Jason & Nikki Regina, Saskatchewan”

“A nice, large coffee shop. We just wanted some light fare so we took some pastries (fruit almond brioche and strawberry cream danish), which were excellent. Also took a chai latte and a hot chocolate. Good service and room. Good prices. Highly recommend.”

“My wife and visit the gardens each summer and usually treat ourselves to the high tea. This year we felt the sandwiches were a bit bland and it appeared the menu was unchanged from 2025. Service was pretty good although the tea was not as hot as it could have been. Enjoyed the garden view from the outside terrace but be aware there can be wasps. Expensive for what you get but it is a nice treat!”

“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.”

“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. 🥮”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had the absolute pleasure of celebrating my birthday last night at the rooftop patio at The Met, and I’m still buzzing from how incredible it was! 🌟 They were hosting an amazing Mexican themed party, and it just so happened to be my birthday talk about perfect timing! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond for everyone, but especially for me. They were constantly checking in, making sure we were comfortable (even bringing us heaters when the wind picked up!), and truly made me feel so special. The food was fantastic, the drinks were top-notch, and the atmosphere was full of energy and fun. We even won prizes, enjoyed free food and drinks, and to top it all off — they surprised me with a birthday cake. 🎂 I honestly can’t say enough great things about this place. The staff made the night unforgettable, and I’ll absolutely be back. I’ll also be telling all my friends because if you’re looking for a fun, vibrant, and welcoming spot for a celebration or night out, The Met’s rooftop patio is it.”

“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.”

“This place has an open and modern space with plenty of seating, a bar area, and large windows that keep it feeling bright. Service was friendly and efficient, and the food arrived at a good pace. I ordered the 1989 Burger with fries and the spinach and artichoke dip to start. The burger was juicy with a solid bacon and cheddar balance, and the dip was creamy and properly hot. Everything tasted fresh and the portions were solid. It’s a reliable casual dining option when you want something familiar without any surprises.”

“This was the best service I've had in some time. Called down from my room and asked if they did room service, they do not. The girl said it would be ready in 20 mins, I asked if she would call my room when my order was ready. She didn't know how to that but said she'd figure it out. 11 mins later my room phone rings saying my order was ready. Got down stairs just as they finished packing it up. Came to find out she was in training. The manager was great too, he was on the spot with getting shot figured out”

“I know some say the prices can be bad here but certain items I find do cost a bit less than places like Lifestyles or Thrifties etc. The selection is good; tofu, cheeses, non-dairy milks and yogurt, cereals etc. Sometimes you can find baked goods in the bakery section as well. They seem to get seasonal products in as well such as unique coffee, creamer, and dandies flavours. They also sell vegan supplements, protein powders, and self-care items. However this is a large chain store, so if you're trying to support local probably not your spot. Location is the size of a syandard grocery store with a coffee shop included on the left side of the store. Parking lot for uptown is quite large but can be confusing for people to navigate.”

“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. #lilGem”
