Restaurant is large - it has great ambience, the layout provides a personal and intimate feeling despite there being many tables. The food is superb, we plan on returning to make our way through the great menu. It is the best place we have eaten at in Canada for food, service and ambience. We highly recommend the seafood tower as a way to taste through some of the menu. The grilled octopus rivalled what we have eaten in Italy. The pork belly was cooked to perfection. The wine list is extensive and expertly curated.”

“Came here at just after 4pm today on a whim. Clearly we hadn’t checked their opening time ahead of our visit and when we rolled up it was closing. However as we were planning our next move their finance guys happened to be leaving and asked if we would like to be servers some whiskey and beer. Of course we said yes! He opened everything back up for us and proceeded to served some samples and a tasting flight. Then he gave us a little tour of the back. Clearly MacAloney’s finance guy cares about the bottom line because we bought a few bottles. But more than that he cares about service and keeping customers happy. What a great afternoon and what a great place! Oh and their whiskey is fantastic too.”

“Heard about this place awhile ago from 365prowrestling since they occasionally do live pro wrestling events here.

Originally went months ago on a Saturday afternoon but it was packed and too crowded to even be able to look around at all the unique crazy spectacular decor or to take photos since too many customers were there.

Kept seeing 5 star reviews so decided to finally go back and try the food this time.

Went on a weekday afternoon. Very quiet and relaxed this time with tons of empty tables and I was able to actually look around at everything this time.

My latte was in a huge Mug and over flowing in a good way. The server did an awesome job of bringing it to my table without spilling it since it was full to the max.

The Brisket sandwich I ordered was massive. I managed to finish most of it. Very tasty and I added the Hotwheels sauce they had on my table.

Awesome presentation and taste. Massive sandwich and they had the knife 🔪 sticking out of it.

Was definitely worth the price and I'll be coming back again to try another unique item to feast on in the future.

After my meal I was extremely full and totally stuffed but managed to look around in the cool gift/merchandise shop they have.

Stuffed raccoon in a Jean jacket on display and lots of cool posters and shirts 👕”

From when you first enter & you smell the fresh herbs to when you sit down around the table on super comfortable chairs/couches. WOW. The staff were attentive, personal and yet not in your zone too much. Helpful with advice on the food and menu. 10/10. The food was on another planet. We had three dishes in total - one appy and two mains. Cooked perfectly, extremely fresh flavours and large portions. The naan bread… just wow. Delish! Will be coming back and telling everyone about this. They deserve a line out the door.”

You can really taste the care and attention put into each dish. The staff were friendly, attentive, and very helpful. Special bravo to Jammy for the excellent service and warm hospitality, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The ambiance is very pleasant, with a beautiful Japanese-style atmosphere that adds to the overall dining experience. In terms of pricing, the cost is fair and reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food—it’s not outrageous at all. This restaurant clearly focuses on quality over quantity, so if you’re looking for large portions rather than refined, high-quality dishes, this may not be the place for you. However, if you appreciate fresh ingredients, great flavors, and a lovely atmosphere, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit.”

Kizuna Ramen on Douglas 1314 Douglas St, Victoria Ramen • $$

“Let's start with the bad. The only problem with this place tonight was that it was so hot! One ceiling fan wasn't working and there was an obvious heat wave in the restaurant compared to the beautiful weather outdoors.
Besides that, we got the cabbage salad, the pork gyoza dumplings, and a regular and spicy miso Raman. We really liked the cabbage salad. The dumplings were great with a fine oil to dip in.
The main dish was so flavourful. The spice is substantial so be warned. The egg was perfectly cooked and the meat was too. The service was excellent.
I hope you guys get the air circulation fixed and wish you tons of success.”

“This is one of Victoria's highlights. Bunny's is a hidden gem of a cafe and one of the few places to get a decent latte, flat white, or cappuccino. The food is good, but the atmosphere is cozy and community-oriented. The best way to describe Bunny's is that it's like coming back home for the first time. We're originally from Ontario, and stepping into Bunnie's, it was a quality cafe experience without any of the pretentiousness downtown. Just make sure you have some time to kill because once you get to the cafe, you won't want to leave, and they do close early.”

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 🥲.”

It's a small shop located inside the mall, better for a smaller group. When we visited there was construction inside the mall which was unfortunate, but the staff tried to reduce the noise and dust.

I wish they didn't use AI art in the menus -- we almost didn't visit for this reason, which would have been a shame because it was a great experience. It would've been nice to have real photos of the actual food in the menus, because the actual food was both gorgeous and fantastic.

Had fantastic vegetarian ramen, which came with some side dishes, and a really delicious blended drink. Staff was friendly and gave us a small free taro dessert. I will definitely be back!”

“.🥲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 🥲.”

Citrus and Cane already had a great reputation but this new location is more accessible to the downtown folks and they kept the beautiful atmosphere and vibe. Highly highly recommend! There was a waitlist but what do you expect from a great place that is one of the best places to be on a Friday night?! Wait wasn't long BTW.

It's a small shop located inside the mall, better for a smaller group. When we visited there was construction inside the mall which was unfortunate, but the staff tried to reduce the noise and dust.

I wish they didn't use AI art in the menus -- we almost didn't visit for this reason, which would have been a shame because it was a great experience. It would've been nice to have real photos of the actual food in the menus, because the actual food was both gorgeous and fantastic.

Had fantastic vegetarian ramen, which came with some side dishes, and a really delicious blended drink. Staff was friendly and gave us a small free taro dessert. I will definitely be back!”

“Heard about this place awhile ago from 365prowrestling since they occasionally do live pro wrestling events here.

Originally went months ago on a Saturday afternoon but it was packed and too crowded to even be able to look around at all the unique crazy spectacular decor or to take photos since too many customers were there.

Kept seeing 5 star reviews so decided to finally go back and try the food this time.

Went on a weekday afternoon. Very quiet and relaxed this time with tons of empty tables and I was able to actually look around at everything this time.

My latte was in a huge Mug and over flowing in a good way. The server did an awesome job of bringing it to my table without spilling it since it was full to the max.

The Brisket sandwich I ordered was massive. I managed to finish most of it. Very tasty and I added the Hotwheels sauce they had on my table.

Awesome presentation and taste. Massive sandwich and they had the knife 🔪 sticking out of it.

Was definitely worth the price and I'll be coming back again to try another unique item to feast on in the future.

After my meal I was extremely full and totally stuffed but managed to look around in the cool gift/merchandise shop they have.

Stuffed raccoon in a Jean jacket on display and lots of cool posters and shirts 👕”

“We recently dined in March restaurant in May 2025. The food and ambiance were excellent, and we were pleasantly surprised with the discovery of this restaurant in Victoria. Please note that this is not your typical Chinese restaurant that serves the run-of the mill dishes for a quick turn-around; instead, this restaurant serves authentic Cantonese cuisines. The chef is passionate about his cooking -- they use the freshest produce and ensure that customers enjoy the pure and natural taste of the dishes. The restaurant is tastefully decorated; it is devoid of the 'loud' Chinese lanterns or traditional writings -- and this reflects the owners' attention to detail. Dining in March is a delightful and satisfying culinary experience. Highly recommended!”

You can really taste the care and attention put into each dish. The staff were friendly, attentive, and very helpful. Special bravo to Jammy for the excellent service and warm hospitality, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The ambiance is very pleasant, with a beautiful Japanese-style atmosphere that adds to the overall dining experience. In terms of pricing, the cost is fair and reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food—it’s not outrageous at all. This restaurant clearly focuses on quality over quantity, so if you’re looking for large portions rather than refined, high-quality dishes, this may not be the place for you. However, if you appreciate fresh ingredients, great flavors, and a lovely atmosphere, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit.”

My Thai Cafe 1020 Cook St, Victoria Thai • $$

“Wow!! This was my first time here and so so impressed. Small but mighty! The food was delicious and the service fantastic too. Had four teenagers and even they seemed happy. We all loved the food and menu recommendations from the owner. Thank you for a lovely evening out. The food isn't super quick to the table, but hey, this is fresh cooked and it's not simple white spot food. So relax and enjoy the experience. Pretend you are in Thailand.”

“Dinner was delicious, with plenty left over to take home. Service was excellent. Little candle burners under the food servers kept everything at a good temperature. Allergies were addressed (separate deep fryer for gluten free, for example). We keep coming back here as our favourite Indian restaurant in Victoria.”

Golden City Restaurant 721 Fisgard St, Victoria Chinese • $$

“We had a Chinese Christmas celebration at Golden City today. We were about 180 people and they still made room for others who came for lunch. There were over 10 courses which were all delicious - hot and fresh. There was a set up for music and people from our group sang Christmas carols and Chinese songs at a karaoke mic. The service was excellent. The price was reasonable. It was fun all round.”

Glo Restaurant + Lounge 2940 Jutland Road, Victoria Lounges • $$

“We celebrated a friend’s birthday tonight at Glo Restaurant + Lounge, and it was such a fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely incredible. The presentation, the flavors… just yum. You can truly tell how much care and effort goes into every dish. Everything looked beautiful and tasted even better. The service made the night even more special. The seater/greeter was so warm and welcoming right from the start. Our server, Kaitlyn, was amazing in every way. Super polite and fun, yet still professional and perfectly attentive without being overbearing (which we really appreciated!). The bartender was SO sweet as well. Thank you for the little details that made a difference. For the paper napkins (cloth ones give me the ick!), for happily substituting my mashed potatoes for a salad, and for delivering such genuinely great customer service all around. We truly enjoyed ourselves and will absolutely be back!”

“So shocked reading the other reviews , I'm glad I didn't look at them before going as I may have changed my mind. Waitress was attentive, food arrived quickly. We ordered the steak and seafood platter for 2. food was fabulous, too much for us to eat. My only issue would have been i had to ask for ice water.”

“It was okay. They had smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, hand cut fruit salad (some of the honeydew was a little soft), yogurt, apple juice/orange juice/coffee, packaged oatmeal, fresh fruit, salami, ham, small danish assortment, some bread, cereal. $30.00/27.00 if staying in the hotel. Not bad but you get this included at some hotels. An omelette station would be nice.”

“Normally food and service are both great. So I’d still recommend jgg if at be cautious of what day and time you go. I went on a Friday evening this last time and the food and service wasn’t good. I can understand why the service wasn’t amazing because it was crazy busy in there. However no excuses for the food as I bought the queen bee pizza and it was half sauced and some slices didn’t even have hot honey on it”

“Six Mile Pub was a great experience. We had just returned from 5 miles of hiking near Jordan River. We happened upon this lovely restaurant on the way back to Victoria and were delightfully surprised!

The atmosphere is just like an English pub. In fact, this pub is BC's OLDEST PUB, running since 1855. Very cool. Stained glass windows, wood floors, bar, pool tables, and outdoor patio. We sat on the patio in the sun next to the inlet water of Esquimalt Bay. Trees on the water side, hanging flower baskets on the patio, and classic umbrellas on each table for shade.

The service was EXCELLENT! Our server, Caleigh, was friendly, pleasant, and helpful!

We had the wild mushroom gnocchi which was delicious and the Cornish hen which was well plated and tasty.

We recommend Six Mile Pub and plan to go again!”

“This place had a very good price for the portion size. Food was fresh and tasty with the dishes including lots of flavour. We ate the edamame, udon noodle bowl, kung pao chicken and teriyaki chicken.However, all their chicken was deep fried including teriyaki chicken which you would expect to be grilled. Kung pao not as spicy as expected. Other than those issues, the staff were nice and the place was well kept. They also did a good job st staggering the dishes. Overall, a pretty decent place for a quick bite and freshly made.👍”
