50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Victoria

“Great service. Delicious food and creative beverages. Stoked to have the one with everything cookie and a peanut butter bomb when we get home❤️🌱🍪“

“Il Terrazzo is hands down my favourite restaurant in Victoria. The food is consistently exceptional — beautifully presented, perfectly balanced, and full of authentic Italian flavour. Their cocktail program is just as impressive, and the wine service is thoughtful and knowledgeable without ever feeling pretentious.

The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between romantic and lively, making it ideal for both special occasions and intimate dinners. Every visit feels seamless thanks to the attentive, professional service. Il Terrazzo truly delivers one of the best dining experiences in the city.“

“I shall have to come back and try it again, it was very good. I had the Takoyaki Appetizer, deep fried octopus balls and for the main course Black Arashi Tan Tan - Black sesame base with pork belly, egg, spinach, bamboo shoots, crushed peanuts, chili oil, garlic, green onion and nori seaweed.“

“Started shaky with the hostess refusing to sit us where we wanted in a near empty restaurant. But our server Angela was amazing. So responsive and kind. We’ll come back just because of her when we were going to boycott because of the hostess’s attitude of the customer is always wrong.“

“Finally tried Finns after many visits to Victoria and was not disappointed. The view is lovely, and the service attentive. We had the sablefish, it was cooked perfectly and was delicious. Highly recommend for dinner if you are visiting Victoria.“

“I love how tiny and welcoming it feels 😎 always busy and the flavors are delicious 😋 Highly recommend ✨️“

“Amazing pho! Great service! Definitely worth having to pay for parking to come here! Best Pho I have had in Victoria!“

“Incredible Chili Basil Pork delivered by the owner's husband to track and field officials at the BC 55+ Games. Friendly service and amazing, hot food!“

“We visited on Valentine's Day so it was probably unusually busy. The overall ambiance wasn't great, it felt like a basic and noisy pub. Not so great for couples as there were a lot of huge tables. The food was not gourmet but excellent - very tasty. The servers seemed very friendly, competent and experienced but were hampered by the kitchen being overwhelmed. Definitely good value for what we had. Totally okay as a place to grab a good meal - just don't expect a nice cozy ambiance....“

“I had the Moroccan Chicken Benedict this morning... Probably the best thing I've had for breakfast in my entire life! You are the best, Blue Fox Cafe!! 😋😍“

“I had a wonderful dining experience at this Japanese restaurant. The quality of the ingredients truly stands out—everything was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. 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.“

“.🥲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 🥲.“

“Absolutely loving the new early hours!!!! 7am opening makes it possible to grab some awesome food prior to work!“

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

“My whisky club and I heard about Macaloney's around 2020 and sampled what was then not considered whisky, but 2 year old spirit. We were all intrigued, and are pleased to have enjoyed the whisky getting better and better each year.

Their core line is outstanding, but their unique casks (Sugar Kelp Infused Peat Project, Ex-Islay Cask, Moscatel Cask) are some of the best whiskies I've tasted.

Our whisky club has ran with the thesis that age statements don't define a good whisky, but the character behind how it is made does. Canadian whisky is full of character, and one of the most exciting whisky regions worldwide right now...And Macaloney's is leading the charge.“

“I got really awesome service at this location … one of best pizza for dinner .. employee name manpreet kaur was really helpful and provided best service“

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

“Fresh & tasty local ingredients, caring friendly service, a clean organized kitchen, a wide variety of toppings with dietary options available; these all come together to provide you with some great pizza and a healthy satisfying feast. Well worth the short trip out to Willows Pizza if you are looking for some high-quality slices to fill your tummy!! Yummy!! 😋“

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

“Everything was a highlight. The splashy fun decor and friendly attentive service were my first impressions. And then came the food. Wow all so good! Can't say enough about this place so I'll just say Ya' gotta eat here!“

“Biryani dishes are incredibly beautiful. Rice and chicken perfectly cooked. So tasty and such a comfort when you are hungry. Biryani second to none, no wonder the restaurants name. Quality and generous portions. I now eat here at least 3x's a month.“

“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.“

“This has been one of the best Greek restaurants we’ve ever been to. From the food to the service it was amazing and done right! Would 100% recommend! We had the keftedes, moussaka, lamb shank, and ekmek and they were to die for! We ate everything off the plate, and our serve Dimitri was just the best!“

“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’“

“Original and authentic Indian restaurant I would like to say original flavour of Indian food. Great service, would highly recommend.“

“Fantastic!!!! The food was truly amazing and the prices are so reasonable! The bacon was thick and chewy and crispy- just perfect! Of course the biscuits were exceptional and perfectly cut and toasted. I had the egg and bacon Sammy and added tomatoes and avocado. Perfect!!! Group of 6 all raved! A diverse, spread on a theme, and I'm not a gravy fan and it too was delicious. The special steak had homemade dips and stuff, and the vege was it was incredibly complex and yummy looking. I WILL BE BACK!!! The baked goods looked fantastic, but I'm so full!“

“Always delicious food! Service is good too.“

“2nd time at Emmalines and it did not disappoint. Arguably one of the best meals I’ve had in Victoria. Beats out Victoria’s top restaurants (…I’ll Terrazo, Marilena, Wind Cries Mary… etc). Everything tastes fresh, home cooked, and cooked with love. Shared the steak platter, side salad, and the delicious sticky toffee pudding while listening to live jazz music tonight. Can’t wait till the next time.“

“Today was our first meal at Dosa Paragon - we will be back for the best Indian food in Victoria. We are glad the server recommended Chicken 65 as it was truly delicious alongside the flavourful chutneys. The chef owner chatted with us about the traditional ways and ingredients they use. Highly recommend the food and friendly service.“

“Really comfortable brewery/distillery to stop in and grab a pint and a bite. The beer selections i had was delicious and refreshing. Although I didn't find the menu of food particularly appealing, your needs are probably different than mine, so have at it. The people working there were friendly and knew about their beers. Definitely stop in. If I find myself there again, I'll be trying the gin and whiskey.“

“Whenever we stay in Victoria we always enjoy having lunch or dinner here. The food is great, the folks are wonderful. One of our favorite places.“

“I’ve never had a bad meal here. Top notch, every time.“

“Sally bun lives up to the reputation and review scores, no joke

I'm new to Victoria, and everyone in the neighborhood recommended Sally Bun. I can see why

Amazing. Tastes delicious, affordable and has a small business charm

Perfect for lunch or snack. Only draw back is limited buns available each day and only open during day time. Anyone new to Victoria needs to try for take out or dine in

Vegetarian options: Buns usually aren't vegetarian, but there are menu items that are

Dietary restrictions: Chicken curry bun great for people lactose intolerant

Kid-friendliness: There's fun cream cheese and breakfast buns“

Thank you again for a wonderful evening!!! Dave Small“

“I visited this lovely place on my birthday and I wanted some small snack with my beer like peanuts but didn’t have so I ordered the dill pickle thinking it would be served on a plate like a small salad but they put it in a shut glass 🥒and handed it over to me 😭 and every table next to us had a good laugh!! I’m not mad I think it was funny and it made a memory for us so thank you for making us happy mr. pickle-man“
