50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Victoria

“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!!“

“Amazing food and atmosphere! Staff are fantastic!“

“Superb flavours. Light and spicy, lovely cooked fish. Definitely a visit you will not regret.“

“Just go it’s very awesome“

“Good food and service. Enjoyed oysters and fresh sardines.“

“The nettle and goat feta cestini may be my new favourite pasta dish - the balance of sweet, savory, and fresh played so well on the plate! A lot of the cocktails lean into bitter flavour profiles and their “savoury” cocktail (Pontiac ‘87) still leans more on the sweet and bitter side with a hint of salt, but they were still very interesting and well made! The staff were all lovely and attentive, a great solo dining experience for sure! Plates are made to share - bring some friends if you want to keep costs lower (but the price is worth it) :)“

“we had the BEST experience!! A platter for 2 with a sliced 12 oz med rare steak, 2 lobster tails, 4 prawns, 2 large lobster stuffed mushrooms, garlic mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables and 3 dipping sauces. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! You won't be sorry going here.....“

“Great staff and excellent food“

“I just witnessed the sweetest act of kindness by a staff member.. customer service and food were outstanding!“

“From the moment you walk through the door to the moment you leave, the professional and attentive staff take care of every detail. 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.“

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.“

“First time trying this spot. Enjoyed 8 shrimp with rice. Very fresh and tasty. Pulled pork sandwich was very tender with a great smokey flaver and needed no additional sauce. Both 5 stars. Other item we tried was the chicken skewers. They were just a bit dry and we did not care for the sauce but that was just our opinion. Staff was 5 stars. I would recommend this place Thank you.“

“Thank you so much for the fantastic service and dinner. Everything was perfect for my wife’s birthday party.“

“Oldie but goodie place that offers simple western food and chinese food. We went here for Chinese food and it didn't fail. We're asian and we're happy that they have the needed condiments on the table. I asked for the chili and she happily provided. We went at 11:45am and all tables were occupied for lunch. Servings were big at a lesser price. Worth the walk from Tillicum Centre.

Posting here the updated menu with prices as the old ones were posted 2 years ago. Note also that my kids had already a few bites on the food in photos.“

“An excellent new Chinese restaurant serving delicious dishes with generous portions“

“I had an outstanding experience at The Keg Steakhouse! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel genuinely welcome with their friendly and attentive service. The steak was cooked to absolute perfection—tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Every side dish was fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere was warm, comfortable, and perfect for a relaxing meal.

The attention to detail, quality of the food, and exceptional customer service truly set this restaurant apart. I can't wait to come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Five stars!“

“Celebrated my husband's birthday. It is a quaint restaurant with homey feeling. our waitress was attentive although she was busy with multiple tables. We met Bob who has been working at restaurant for 47 years since it opened. we would dine here again.“

“Our chef (red coloured hat/ascot in the photos) was a REMARKABLE addition to our evening. He knocked it out of the park with the banter. I will definitely be saying this with certainty: Ever single person at a restaurant has an even higher bar to stand next to now that I know hospitality isn’t actually dead. I have been in this industry for 12 years, I’m blown away. VERY impressed. You hosted 2 groups of strangers like we were your best friends. The steak was cooked perfectly!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you! I WILL be back!!!“

“Erito Sushi is hands down the best stop to grab a quick snack or even dine in. The food is always fresh and the value you get for the price is fabulous. The team members are so lovely and efficient. Sometimes we even stop by multiple times a week because it is just so good!! Thank you to the staff team you always make our visits worth it :)“

“This was the best food and well worth every penny. They were extremely busy but our food came out in a very timely manner and hot! The tea was hot and yummy! So much food for a very reasonable price.“

“Best Location in the Hub of Victoria with the Best Staff to Match: I’m a local resident who favours 10 Acres Commons. This downtown eatery at the hub of Victoria sits across from the Empress Hotel with a patio on all the action. Managers and bartenders Alex & Roy make you feel like every time is your first time with excellent service and friendly smiles. The owners aptly promise: “Our locally based menu featuring sustainable seafood and organic produce from our farm, exuberant steamer bowls, generous sharing platters, creative cocktails and local craft beer on tap are just some of the reasons to come by and hangout.”“
