Restaurants near North Saanich

“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.”

“My partner and I just had a lovely evening at The Deep Cove Chalet. When we walked in, we were greeted so kindly by the hostess, who took our coats and walked us to our table.

Our server, Ben, was extremely friendly and took the time to share the heritage of the Chalet with us. Throughout the evening, he also made an effort to get to know us, which made the experience feel very personal.

The ladies working alongside Ben really made the night extra special. They were so kind and gave many compliments on my dress, which honestly made my evening.

Compliments to the chef for the exquisite food, that was some of the best beef tartare we’ve ever had. The Lanessan wine was fantastic as well. A special shout-out to Ernie, the dog, who put a smile on our faces when he sat to enjoy the sunset.

My partner and I left with smiles on our faces and are excited to come back and experience this lovely place all over again. Thank you! <3”

“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”

“I meant to post this review ages ago. I purchased an Americano at Fresh Cup over a year ago & I was struck by how courteous & professional the two employees were. They demonstrated real skill as they calmly filled a myriad of orders. They managed the volume well & worked together respectfully. I ordered an iced Americano & the barista made it perfectly (not too much water so it was a good, strong pour). These types of service sector jobs can be tough & I was impressed with their good work. The coffee was delicious too 👍”

“Love the food, the people, the atmosphere ❤️”

“Great place for breakfast”

“I had a truly wonderful experience here! 🤩 The coffee was incredibly good, perfectly brewed and so enjoyable. ☕ Their food items were also delicious, every bite was a delight. 😋 I spent an amazing time at this cafe. Highly recommend! ✨”

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

“BBQ pork sandwich is a must have with good seasoned fries. Da whiskey will have you whiskering & you will enjoy every last drop. The tour was very informative, engaging & very timely-not too long and not too short.”

“We had a delicious dinner here and enjoyed the lovely view of the Saanich Inlet and surrounding areas. We ordered the Chateau Briand beef tenderloin for 2 and it was done to perfection served with seasonal vegetables and mashed potatoes with parmesan fries as well. Service was excellent.”

“A genuinely lovely high tea experience. What stood out immediately was how thoughtfully they are to accommodated dairy allergies. Something many places still overlook or handle poorly. The interiors are elegant without feeling forced, and the overall atmosphere makes it easy to settle in and enjoy the experience.

The high tea itself was well-executed: balanced, visually appealing, and, most importantly, genuinely delicious rather than just decorative. It’s clear there’s attention to both detail and guest experience here.

A solid choice if you want something refined that doesn’t ignore dietary needs.”

“The setting plus the excellent food was the best experience. Service was attentive. Our table at the window was the icing on the cake. Great views of the garden.”

“So good!!! Went with my sisters and cousin (all of us from the UK so we know a good scone!). Absolutely DELICIOUS!! Service was also first class, super friendly 💕”

“I had a great visit today! The staff were super friendly and the place was spotless. Nav was fantastic—she’s really good at what she does. I’d give it a solid 5 out of 5.”

“This barburrito is AMAZING, they loaded up my wrap like no tomorrow and it was so delicious, I couldn’t resist ordering another one and ate every last piece of rice! Thanks Ekjot & Yashika”

“Great original flavors with smooth espresso. I definitely recommend trying them out!”

“Everytime I eat here the food is great. Excellent service, very helpful staff.”

“West Coast Fish N Chips : The fish is cooked to perfection( we usually get cod). The fries are home cut with skins on, have to say coleslaw is a bit chunky for some people who wear dentures.. ( I enjoy it) Staff is great!, the prices have stayed reasonable, maybe because they haven’t renovated 🤔and We love the ambience!!!”

“Wonderful flavour, piping hot , and excellent service. Highly recommended!!!”

“Friendly and inclusive. Feel right at home.”

“First time there, from Nanaimo for a Geocaching event. I had a London Fog and a Cranberry Lemon Scone. They were both tasty.”

“Great atmosphere and amazing service. Not to mention the high quality espresso!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Such a gem! Five and Dime Diner in Sidney is an absolute must. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the friendliest hostess (I sadly didn’t catch her name, but she was so welcoming), and the atmosphere instantly felt warm, nostalgic, and just happy. Our server Chelsea was the cutest vibe ever! She fit the place perfectly. Super friendly, personable, and made the whole experience feel really personal and relaxed. You can tell when someone genuinely enjoys what they do, and it shows. The food? Banging. Great prices and seriously delicious. I had a roasted chicken wrap with tzatziki and a bunch of fresh veggies, plus a side salad, and it was SO good. Fresh, flavourful, and filling without being heavy. And the little details?? Instead of the usual mint at the end, they give you a piece of retro bubble gum. Such a fun, nostalgic touch that totally fits the diner’s vibe. Overall, the food, the service, the atmosphere....everything was amazing. I can’t wait to come back. Five and Dime Diner is one of those places that just makes you feel good. 💕 Thanks everyone!”

The restaurant always feels very clean and well cared for, and there’s consistently a welcoming, friendly atmosphere. The prices, portion sizes, presentation, and—most importantly—the taste are all surprisingly excellent. We’re so grateful to have such a wonderful sushi spot nearby and always enjoy every visit.”
