“First time in for us. Service was good, waitress checked on us several times. The pizzas were all good and I particularly liked the signature salad. BTW, not many places nowadays that you can park were ever you want-for free. Will definitely go back again!“

“Absolutely delicious savory and sweet preparations. Incredibly fresh bread, and attention to detail of the food. Service was super, Pilar our server was delightful. Nice variety of teas, and located right next to the beautiful Italian garden. Will definitely go back.“
“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!“
“Stopped in on our way home to Nanaimo from Victoria. Very cool little ice cream truck in the parking lot near the Thrifty Foods. We had a couple of sundaes. The Strawberry one was very good, but the Black Forest one was amazing. The ice cream is vegan but you would never know. It didn’t have a strong coconut flavour which I do not care for. The prices were reasonable, comparable to other home made ice cream shops. There is a nice shaded seating area and you would never know you are in a parking lot. We will be back when passing though.“
“Oh my god, i was in the middle of a divorce when i came to Q Pizza in royal oak at 2:00am, not only did it clear my mind and help me solidify my choice to leave her and the kids, but it gave me the peace of mind to accept how great everything is and move to the Turks and Caicos. Never in my life have i had such a mind boggling experience.Thank you to all those involved.“
“Not what I was expecting but BETTER!!!! This place was amazing and the cafe was modern, bright, cute and spacious !! They have plant based mills which was the main thing I was seeking out. And many different syrups too. My latte was amazing!!! They have a full staff so ordering was quick and my coffee came out pretty fast too for having a lot of people. I recommend if you are in the area! They have a cute side shop in the store too with cute mugs and powders to buy etc.“
“The Marigold Cafe is an absolute must-visit spot, especially when you're out on a bike trip around the peninsula. I frequently stop here during my rides, and it has become my favorite break spot. Not only is it a great place to recharge with a snack and some energy, but the atmosphere is just perfect for a relaxing pause. The cafe is always clean, giving a refreshing and welcoming vibe. Additionally, the staff are consistently friendly and attentive, adding to the overall pleasant experience. It's a little haven for cyclists and anyone looking for a cozy spot to unwind. Highly recommend!“
“This is a great spot. They make good coffee and good breakfast wraps. Pretty quick to serve unless it’s busy. They have fair prices also and are open an hour earlier than some of the other coffee shops around so now I come here in the mornings.“
“It is a bit out of the way, but definitely worth the stop. If you're headed to the ferry or airport, you should take a little detour for a pre-departure meal or snack. Their specialty lattes are great and I'm sure all the other pastries are good. I only ever get the vanilla custard Danish and I'm never disappointed. If you go in the summer they also have in-house refreshers as well which are also very good. If they break into charcuterie it would be a perfect place for me, at least.“
“I was in the mood for something healthy this week and I got there at 4 but they had closed early because of the snow but I went there for the first time today and it was amaze ? got the curry wrap and side salad - both were great but that curry wrap was next level. Will definitely be back ?“

“Service was fast and friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant. One star loss because the two window tables are horrible to sit at because the table legs are massive metal making it near impossible to comfortably sit at. Never mind I smashed my knees hard getting in.Anyway. The London fog was excellent and the berry scones were some of the best I’ve ever had.“
“We recently ordered pizzas (2 vegan and 1 vegetarian) from Panago in Sidney. We were all so pleasantly surprised at the speed and accuracy in which our order was filled and thoroughly appreciated a phone call to double check an ingredient selection (regular cheese via non dairy cheese) that we had made in error. The pizzas arrived quickly, very hot - obviously fresh from the oven and delicious. We all agreed it was by far the best Panago experience we've ever had! Thanks so much!“
“Really enjoyed our meal and the service! ?? The chef made a special effort to make our wings unique which we appreciated ? Short rib Cannelloni was great with the beef inside. Earl grey martini was tasty as well as the salted caramel bar. Nice atmosphere. Good place to go for a special occasion or date night. Best to reserve here tho. Even on a Monday night it was pretty busy!“
“We chose the Fireside as our daughter's wedding reception venue. The ambiance under the tent and twinkle lights was magical. The whole experience was absolutely perfect. The outstanding tasty buffet selection was given compliments by all our guests. I also want to acknowledge the 2 dedicated servers who looked after us so attentively...amazing. Thank you Tim and your fantastic team...you were a huge part in making these newlyweds and guests feel incredibly happy and impressed.“
“I just love the food at this restaurant, especially fresh sashimi! I ordered assorted sashimi and it's so fresh and melting in my mouth. I also tried their new menu, Sashimi salad. Perfect for people who seek no carb diet. Rolls taste so yummy!Their tea tastes authentic Japanese green tea.Servers are nice and friendlyWill definitely come back“
“Highly recommend! Food was great, and service was exceptional. The server kindly let us know that she is training another new server, both did a phenomenal job. We even got some small samples of matcha smoothie (was delicious!). Will definitely be going back.“
“My beautiful wife and I had a lovely time at Baan Thai. The food was great - i was wonderfully surprised! It was really good. We went about two weeks ago, and so sorry, i wish i could remember the dish i had. Regardless it was awesome and I'd go again. Our server was very helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend visiting Baan Thai.“
“We pulled off the highway to get coffee and fell in love with this little coffee shop, great coffee, baked goods, and lunch items. All delicious!! The rustic atmosphere, grass courtyard, and fun & friendly service all made it a perfect stop. Highly recommend visiting Rusticana Coffee :)“
“My sweety and I's ferry got changed over so we decided to pop in on a time schedule and had to be out within the hour. Jewelley helped us out the first time we went in and the second. She was very kind and charismatic and had a very sweet energy to her both times. She was attentive and payed attention, she was fast and efficient and did it all with grace. We got in and out with so many smiles in a great time. Good food, good drinks, great people and the best quality service.“
“Melinda’s Bistro is literally a hidden gem in beautiful Sidney, BC. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the staff are incredibly friendly, and the food is amazing…especially their breakfast sandwiches and soups!!! They have a lot of great items on their menu to choose from, and their prices are on par…if not cheaper…than similar cafes in the Sidney/North Saanich area. If you’re travelling to or from the ferry or the airport, you should definitely check this place out!! :)“
