Restaurants near North Saanich

“It is a wonderful place and very good food.”

“Have had sandwiches and baking during the day before and all was wonderful. The porchetta sandwich was ahmazeballs. Finally got in for dinner tonight. Absolutely top shelf experience. The service was attentive, knowledgeable and subtle. I had the ling cod croquette appetizer: texture super smooth and the pickle sauce was perfect. For a main I had the rolled turkey with rhubarb, fiddle heads and turnip. Beautiful plating and the dish was delicious. The rhubarb was very subtle and tender and turkey was juicy and flavourful. Desert was the brûlée tart with rhubarb sorbet. Again delicious. If only we lived closer this would become a frequent special event restaurant. 100 percent, you should try it. If you are heading to the ferry, try and take the time to sample this hidden gem.”

“Dinned at the Deep Cove Chalet for the first time last night and was seriously impressed. Call out to server Ben who's service and attitude are top notch. Will be back!”

“This was a great find. Datenight was good. Great service”

“Great food and amazing people with impeccable customer service. I always feel so welcome and the food is to die for, definitely recommend this spot”

“Nice quiet space near the end of YYJ departures at the lower level (AC gates) just passed Spinnakers On The Fly.

The breakfast Bacon-Egg-Cheddar PowerBite at $4.50! was delicious and just the right size for a pre-flight snack/ mini-lunch.

Good service, fast and prices acceptable - but $4.50 for PowerBite is 'da bomb...Oops, don't say that at ANY airport:)?.

Check-in online, show up 2-hours early, visit YYJ's third floor Eagles Lounge, then lounge with a nourishing snack for $4.50...at an airport! In Canada!

Yeah, it's worth a try.

View is nice and the space is open, sunny, and comfortable.”

“When we arrived and picked up our menus, they were brunch menus. We waited in line to order and got to the front of the line to order just at 11:00. We were told it was now lunch time. We went to the Five and Dime instead.”

“Great place for breakfast”

“Great staff. Especially Noah!!! Cheers!!!”

“The place is beautiful with a muat-see totem inside. We order some soft serve icecream and the quantity of icecream we were served turned it into a full meal. Delicious.”

“We visit Alpina restaurant fairly regularly and have always had a great meal and always exceptional service. Yesterday day however on our way back from a stressful day dealing with a family situation involving an ambulance, hospital and an assisted living facility we stopped in for a meal. Our server , I believe her name was Kayla , could tell we were a bit out of sorts and promptly took our orders for food and drink. Food was of course spot on and as we were dinning and Kayla checked in and chatted with us throughout our stay, she learned of the day we had. When we were done and I asked for the check Kayla gracefully said that the restaurant had looked after our bill. Both my wife and daughter started to cry , as they were emotional already but the act of kindness that was shown towards us was so welcome that they were overcome with both happiness and sadness. We have been in the restaurant business for almost 40 years and I can only hope that our employees would act the same as Kayla and the management of Alpina. Thank you. You made a miserable day bearable. 🥲🥰

“Very interesting and fun tour today. Really great whiskeys and some very tasty beers. Excited to see a local business that is buying from many other local businesses and farmers. Don’t miss out on this very interesting and informative tour and sampling opportunity.”

“My partner and I had an absolutely wonderful experience.

What really stood out was the service from the incredible staff. Ed and Arden were super accommodating and helpful. We love the gardens and this experience will continue to have us coming back time and time again.

Thank you so much!!”

“Absolute best shop in sidney. Iv tried 8 or 9 different scones so far and every one of them has been incredible! Their bubble tea is fantastic and the whole vibe of the shop makes my day everytime.”

“Our new favourite restaurant! Everything was excellent: food, service, ambience, drinks, music, accomodating a vegetarian... We had a fantastic meal and we can't wait to return!”

“It was the best sushi and udon restaurant I've tasted overseas. It would be nice to have a restaurant like this on Vancouver Island. Sushi Mago needs no further explanation.”

“Super great food, portions, staff, atmosphere and prices! I posted an awesome review on Facebook Brentwood Foodies too. Well deserved!”

“The coffee shop at the Butchart Gardens is a decent spot to grab a bite and have a drink of coffee.

It wasn’t something spectacular, but it got the job done. Me and my girlfriend needed a little bit of energy after the ferry ride to the island, and this did the trick.

My main complaint though? It is pretty expensive, considering the already high price of entry to the garden itself.”

“Fast, friendly and delish!”

“Amazing selection of beers, the sour is to die for.”

“Always an amazing experience to enjoy brunch in the gardens at Charlotte and the Quail. The service is fantastic and they are so good about all my food allergies, I even get dessert! The brownie and carrot cake are delicious 😋 and gluten free!!”

“Tried the Medeteranian, very good quality, excellent dough. Extremely fair prices. Would recommend.”

“😲 WHAT! Its crazy that i live so close to this spot but never went all these years. The reviews deterred me. I am totally satisfied with everything i ate. The miso was a little strong but i love everything so much. Thank you!!”

“A great little place to get good ol fish n chips. its worth the trip. Thanks”
