50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Victoria

“.🥲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 🥲.“

“We visited again from Sask and did not disappoint! Amazing! Well worth the wait in line! I had the tuna on salad! And my husband had the halibut fish and chips with a side of the chowder. The chowder was his favourite. Still taking about it. The staff were also fantastic. Friendly and very efficient! For the amount of people served and the small space we were amazed at how spotless the kitchen was. Highly recommend a visit here!!“

“Best service ever. Friendly environment, great ambiance. Best food ever, fast and efficient, Always above and beyond“

“A great experience and exceptional food. Simply put. I felt very taken care of at this restaurant. My water was never empty and the waitresses and hostess's made sure we felt comfortable. I have absolutely no complaints and the vibe was so nice in this place. Complimentary focaccia was super fluffy and fresh. Highly recommend the calamari and scaloppine di Maiale“

“Had halibut tacos today. Outstanding! Thanks!“

“What an incredible experience! The tour was outstanding, and Adrian made it even better. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate, making the entire visit memorable. Highly recommend this distillery and, if you can, ask for Adrian! 5/5.“

“Delicious food made with love. Sushi Time Express is my favourite sushi place in Victoria!“

“As a vegan, I couldn't wait to visit Fern Cafe last year while vacationing on Vancouver Island. I was thrilled to walk in a bakery that's 100% vegan and absolutely loved everything, from their coffee to food, to the friendly service and the atmosphere. I am about to return to the Island in a week and can't wait to drop by again!“

“Just go it’s very awesome“

“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 👕“

“I celebrated my Birthday this evening for the 2nd year in a row thanks to my BIL and SIL. Perfect setting, food and service. A Victoria ‘gem’“

“Wanted a nice vegan lunch and found this was a couple blocks away from our hotel (Strathcona). Food was amazing! The mushroom soup was the best I ever had and the Mac bowl makes me want to come back for more. Highly recommended. All vegan, gluten free, locally sourced ingredients. Everything we ate was crafted to perfection.“

“This has been my favourite coffee shop for a long time, and it just got even better now that they’re open on Friday and Saturday evenings.

During the day, it’s my go-to spot for excellent coffee and one of the best breakfast menus around. Everything is consistently fresh, delicious, and made with care, and the staff always make you feel welcome.

The new evening service is fantastic. The food is absolutely delicious, the wine selection is great, and the cocktails are beautifully crafted. The atmosphere transforms into the perfect place to relax with friends, enjoy a date night, or simply unwind after a long week.

It’s rare to find a place that does both breakfast and evening dining so well, but they have nailed it. Highly recommend, whether you’re stopping by for your morning coffee or spending the evening enjoying great food and drinks.“

“All vegan buffet, great variety and many healthy options as well as more indulgent savoury and sweet options.“

Then to top it off, homemade sticky toffee pudding with homemade ice cream! (We shared but now I wish I didn't have to) It was all to die for and the perfect place for foodie lovers date night! Check it out!“

“Phillips is a brewery in Victoria. It's easy to get to and this part of town has parking available in plenty of spots. It's pretty big and has a few dozen tables inside plus an outdoor seating area. They have plenty of beers on tap plus canned ones as well, on top of a merch shop in the front. They have windows so you can view the actual brewery which is cool. The staff here are awesome, very friendly and fun to chat with. This is a solid spot to grab a beer with friends or even some food, which they have a decent sized menu with good portions for a solid price.“

“Great service from the friendly staff! The tasting room was very clean. Their beers are amazing and the merch selection is really great too. I went here at non-peak hours (weekday afternoon) so might not be the best metric for a busy weekend night but I was very impressed!“

“Discovery Coffee is a favourite spot when my wife abd I visit Victoris each March, and stay at the Chateau Victoria. We mostly go for a coffee, and sometimes a sweet treat. Today, we had to keep ourselves from ordering a delicious doughnut! I particularly enjoy a Sou Mocha. Yum! It is the perfect place to sit outdoors on a sunny/ish day!!“

“A very lovely place that I’m glad is in the downtown area. I haven’t tried all of their options, but their Onigiri is very well-prepared and the only thing I find myself eating if I need a quick lunch. Fairly priced, too, making going there often affordable.

Their imported items are amazing and vast in terms of what they have, along with having an array of great-tasting items. Their canned coffee is a personal favourite of mine. To mention, their staff is incredibly hospitable and helpful, and, at least from what I’ve personally experienced, have a stellar memory when it comes to regulars. Can’t recommend this place enough 🥳“

“We were very happy with our lunch today, service excellent and our food choices were outstanding.Planning our next visit already, see you soon!“

“Amazing service and delicious food. I highly recommend!“

“THIS is our motivation to return to Victoria. Brussels Sprouts amazing. Pizza was good, but the sauce on the chicken was incredible, and we have no idea how they made crispy potato squares, but AMAZING! We were with family who recommended, and this was our favorite meal of a 2-week vacation!“

“This place is amazing. The staff are out of this world and super friendly. Honestly hands down the best coffee shop around.“

“Just had a BLT sandwich here at Dagwoods. OMG it was so good I could eat another“

“I have tried 649 and the place on Yates n Govt and this place is the best imho. The chicken and sauces are delicious, probably because the chicken is locally sourced. check it our!“
