“I was looking for a nearby pizza take away and found this place via google maps. I ordered direct at the location and had a nice chat with the staff. The pizza was good and the children loved their cheese-only pizza.”
“Service was excellent, workers are always very polite at the one I go to in Colwood. Their Italien Cheesy Bread is AWESOME!! Go for that and a Detroit deep dish 3 meat! Can't go wrong with that!!”
“A wonderful setting for any celebration or anytime treat. The high tea features beautifully presented savouries, sandwiches and desserts, plus trifle and their ab fab signature scone, accompanied by generous pots of tea, always hot thanks to the insulated pots.”
“Service was top notch and very attentive to your needs if you have special dietary requests. Get in early so you can sit by the outdoor fireplaces. This place gets busy at dinnertime so make sure you have reservations.Dietary restrictions: Very knowledgeable and accommodating to dietary needs.”
“My husband convinced me to try Gyrosa for 3 weeks. Added we make Greek food weekly as we love a Mediterranean diet. To be completely honest, I agreed with zero expectations. Moving forward any fast, to go restaurant for Greek, this is it !! Or even for that Mediterranean crave. Absolutely amazing service, amazing quality. My experience was delicious, I could not recommend more. ❤️”
“Best ramen in Victoria! They recently started handing out pagers so you can wait for your table in the car instead of listening for your name while standing outside.”
“The service is exceptional, with attentive staff providing solid recommendations. Te food is just above average, but the atmosphere is welcoming, making it a great spot to savor authentic Indian cuisine.”
“Although I am not exactly the target audience for an English Tea room, I have to say that Butchart far exceeded any expectations! Although we have been to the Gardens many times over the last 4 decades, this is the first time that my wife suggested that we take “High Tea” before our stroll through the amazing gardens... And of course it proved to be a wonderful idea as I relished every bite and sip (we also had the 3-glass “taster” which paired with the food nicely)... I will absolutely be taking tea on our next visit!”
“I have been to many fine dining restaurants however the experience at Marilena Cafe with Josh was phenomenal and next to none. He had great hospitality, recommendations and attention to detail.We tried oysters, sushi, pasta, steel head, chicken and desserts. Couldn’t find a single dish that i didn’t like. They have great vegetarian options as well.We were so happy that we visited the next day as well and had the best time. Highly recommended.Vegetarian options: Great garden sushi and pasta”

“I moved to victoria from alberta and was looking for a restaurant and I came across this place and very happy I did as it brings back a feeling of mom's cooking in a friendly and piecful atmosphere, the food is made with love and you can taste it in every bite!”
“Delicious food and wine in a chill ambiance with cool music that allows for a conversation. We had an amazing burger with a Spanish twist, bone marrow, duck hearts (omg so good), olives, Tempranillo and their charred bread - I wish more places did that). Their coffee and desserts are amazing as well. Bang for your buck! We always come back for more food and the vibes.”
“Hi! I was the Filipino guy that ordered a dozen donuts and a beef roll from you today!!!! Thank you so much!!! The donuts are fantastic and you were such a lovely person to both me and my partner! Highly recommend this place; the donuts are great!”
“The lady that owns this place knows her stuff. Wife and I walked in, we were sort of hesitant but the owner offered us a sample. She said, this is what hooks you! And we were instantly hooked! I can PROMISE you, you'll not find a better donut shop for a better price! The quality of craftsmanship that goes into making these donuts, is executed extremely well. Delicious, affordable, fresh, soft. This lady does not get enough business! And we NEED to change that! The wife and I will be looking forward to coming here each Sunday on our way to church. Hallelujah!8/5 ?”
“My buddy and I dropped in here and were blown away! Incredible food and cocktails!! Just as good as their sister restaurant in Banff!! Service was also impeccable. Thank you team and Chefs!!”
“Our sever Kayla was excellent with food recommendations and wine pairings. We celebrated a milestone birthday at the best table in the house! The staff here go above and beyond always. The fresh beet salad carpaccio was delicious! I enjoyed the mushroom ravioli - the flavour in this dish was beyond what your traditional pasta expectation would be. Jagersnitzle was a favorite with the mushroom sauce and the Alpine Burger was tasty! Kudos to the chef. Thank-you to our bartender who is an amazing mixologist - makes the best old fashioned on the island - hands down! We have celebrated almost every special occasion here in the past 5 yrs and it never disappoints, the breath taking view makes you feel like you are just someplace else. Thank-you!”
“This is a really worth going fried chicken place! My husband and I really liked and enjoyed the half and half - sweet and spicy fried chicken. It was fried very well that the chicken was still crispy even with the sauce coating. The spicy chicken was also no joke really, really spicy.The fries were also really crispy and yummy! Definitely one of the top recommended place to go in Victoria!Ps. 6 pcs of chicken does not sound like a lot, but it’s actually equivalent to half a chicken. We didn’t exactly realize that’s what the half and full labeling meant, and we also wanted to try two different flavors, so we got half and half! We ended up with so much leftovers because I could not finish mine!”
“The decor and atmosphere was great and their plant-based options were even better. Before dining here I had lost hope for dining out for a vegan brunch and after eating here my faith has been restored. I will be back soon to try out some of the other items on their menu 10/10 would recommend. I ate it so fast I forgot to take a photo for my review.Vegetarian options: Their vegan options were tasty and filling I can finally get rid of the awful past memories I've had at other restaurants where the only option they had that was vegan was hash browns. If you are vegan or vegetarian I highly recommend trying this place out!”
“Best vegan ice-cream I've ever had. Atmosphere is best of all the vegan restaurants in Victoria. Their ch'kn penne alfredo is my favourite dish so far :-)”
“This was a lovely surprise. We were in the area and searched for nearby restaurants. It was our first time having Filipino food, and it was delicious! The staff were welcoming and helpful in explaining the different dishes.We look forward to our next visit.”
“The food!! THE FOOD!! ? I didn't take photos of our food because I was enjoying it too much! ? The right amount of food in the bowl for one. 2 beef tacos were perfect for my teen son, especially with a donut for dessert. ?Dietary restrictions: Easily adopted a dairy-free version for my daughter.Parking: Lots of parking options all around!”
“The evening was wonderful. The atmosphere, servic and food outstanding. My only critique is we had to wait a little too long to get the attention of your maitre'd. Our server was charming and knowledgeable. I think her name was Ceara.”
“Toro is a very beautiful restaurant. It looks and feels like you are under the sea.Had a very amazing Bento boxFood was fresh and beautifully presented. Green tea was also wonderful and beautifully presented.Will definitely return and suggest this place!?❣️”
“One of my friend house warming party from Telugu states food was very tastyGobi manchuriya, paneer butter masala, Egg plant curry, Sombat, Riata, papad, Gulab JaminAwesome South Indian delicious food”
“My husband and I stopped in here on our way back to our Airbnb for the night. Staff was super nice and we didn't have to wait long. It was still hot by the time we got back. I'm so glad we stumbled upon this place because it was a meal highlight of the trip. The flavors are unbelievable and I wish I would have gotten my own burger! Highly recommend the bacon cheeseburger with Montreal poutine. What I wouldn't give for some right now!”
“one of my favourite cafes in victoria!!! the food and baked goods are amazing, and I really appreciate having access to so many sweets without dairy (as someone who is lactose intolerant)!!! the staff is super friendly and helpful as well, and I always have a super enjoyable experience when I come here! the chocolate hazelnut cookies are ridiculously good, as well as the muffins, cinnabunnies, and cheesecake! the vegan breakfash sandwich is delicious as well!Dietary restrictions: So many dairy and gluten free options!”
“i’ve been here so many times omg, my #1 go-to place when i want a nice drink other than coffee!! i’m obsessed with the dandelion latte but the chai and seasonal drinks are also good!! i also love the cookies and brownies (i recommend smore & triple choco cookies, and peanut butter & maple marshmallow brownie). food-wise i’ve only tried the jackfruit scrambler so far but i really enjoyed it and hope to try more food items soon!!”
“Great place had the ricotta cheese bread and tater tots with some cocktails and a lucky... It was delicious, sat out side and the heaters made it perfect, noticed a dog arrived and was allowed to be at the patio, that was even better and we happened to sit be side Jagmeet Singh, I didn't even realize till after, but fantastic would recommend.”
“Habitat Cafe offers a variety of good eats for students, staff, and the public. Lots of nice seating with views to the outside. Today I enjoyed a delicious vegetarian miso ramen soup. Delicious.Vegetarian options: The ramen is vegetarian.”
