29 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Saanichton

“I can’t believe such amazing food and service comes out of this tiny unassuming roadside stand!!!!! Friendly faces, best burger on the peninsula and so fresh. Their own beef and perfectly cooked local bacon, I’m sure the produce is from their farm as you can taste each individual component. Congratulations and I’ll definitely be back with friends and family 🍷🥩❤️🙏👍“

“Great experience. Top notch local distillery. Their whiskies cover a wide variety and depths with something for everyone. For those not whiskey drinkers they also have an excellent selection of local draft beers. Enjoy indoors or on their newly opened large patio.“

“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!“

“Great coffee, amazing service and dog friendly too!!“

“Have had sandwiches and baking during the day before and all was wonderful. The porchetta sandwich was ahmazeballs. Finally got in for dinner tonight. Absolutely top shelf experience. The service was attentive, knowledgeable and subtle. I had the ling cod croquette appetizer: texture super smooth and the pickle sauce was perfect. For a main I had the rolled turkey with rhubarb, fiddle heads and turnip. Beautiful plating and the dish was delicious. The rhubarb was very subtle and tender and turkey was juicy and flavourful. Desert was the brûlée tart with rhubarb sorbet. Again delicious. If only we lived closer this would become a frequent special event restaurant. 100 percent, you should try it. If you are heading to the ferry, try and take the time to sample this hidden gem.“

“It was an honor and privilege to be the VERY FIRST guests to this brand new Cidery tasting room!! Great selection of ciders and the flight consists of four ciders…you choose. I highly recommend this wonderful family owned business. Outdoor space is lovely with some cornhole and Jenga thrown in. So worth a quick drive from Victoria. Don’t miss some great cider!“

“Codiner and I stopped by on a sunny September afternoon before a flight. The west facing patio was wonderful. Our server arrived promptly and answered our questions well. Beverage options were limited but the Race Rocks draft beer we had was thirst quenching. We both had fish and chips (fish was of large portions, tasty not too greasy, the chips were a bit dry). There's free parking out front. Do stop in when you are in the Sydney area.“

“After a long day, stopping by Tim Hortons and having a short conversation with Amrit always makes my day better. Her welcoming smile and friendly attitude instantly make me feel refreshed and appreciated as a customer. She provides excellent service and creates a positive atmosphere every time. Thank you, Amrit, for your kindness and great customer service!“
