Restaurants in Victoria

“This is consistently my top choice for dining. The menu never fails to impress, and the staff is incredibly welcoming and attentive, making every visit a pleasure.”

“Had the best lunch at Kahuna with out of town friends. The Loco Moco was a delite for my husband but the Kiluaea Kahlua pork was beyond expectations ... great service and friendly fun owners. The dole whip with lava sauce was a pleasant surprise ... good portions, great food ... didn't get back to get the macadamia nut bars but now I have a great excuse to get back there SOON1”

“recommended by a local friend, they impressed with a 'choose your options' menu, fun and friendly staff, and greek food I'll be revisiting again! mmm those fries..”

“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.”

“One of my favourite places to go. Wonderful atmosphere. Great staff and the best tea in Victoria.”

“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.”

“Seriously the best tofu scramble I’ve ever had; just the right amount of spice. Hardest part was walking past all the delicious donuts,scones and baked goods to order breakfast first. We got some sweet treats to go. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. They made special pancakes for the 2 yr old we were traveling with. I would eat there every day if I could. Will definitely go back next time we are in Victoria. Updated from previous review on 2026-01-22”

“The name of this place really makes sense.
The service is always kind and meets us with a genuine smile. And when you try your food, doesn’t matter if it’s the fried chicken or the corndogs, they are so delicious that you will probably smile too.”

“Just go it’s very awesome”

“The best Shawarma I have ever eaten. A definite must try it's excellent!”

“Home of the best cheesesteak I have ever had. You are doing yourself a disservice if you aren’t eating here!”

“Receptionist and chefs were too good. We went right before kitchen closing but they served us with Happy face. If your planning to go for lunch please go before 3pm.

They were good enough to ask the spice level. We asked for high and they prepared accordingly.”

“went again w my mom. it’s improved, i think, but it gave my partner food poisoning. not wow
:c
they have a cute waitress, but idk if she still works there. last time i went she told me im pretty c:

my mom likes the prawn tempura and yam roll 👍

will be back”

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

“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.”

“Every thing about this experience was perfect. The food was delicious and the service was attentive but not intrusive or intimidating. The crew at this place, both front and back of the house have taking dining to a new level in Victoria. They have captivated the attention of this diner. Ugly Duckling is one to watch.”

“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....”

“Our dinner was excellent once again. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable.”

“Mac and cheese is phenomenal, the warm potato salad is addictive as hell, and from the first step into this place, you know it’s a local gem. Can’t go wrong. Might be the perfect spot all around to be honest.”

“I’ve been coming here for years and it’s consistently the best sushi I’ve found. I pick up sushi often, and no matter what I order, it’s always fresh, well-made, and reliable. I’ve even followed them through their different locations because the quality never changes.

Their platters are fantastic — generous, beautifully prepared, and perfect for any occasion. The staff are always friendly and efficient, which makes the whole experience even better.

Overall, this place delivers excellent sushi and great service every single time. My go-to spot, without question.”

“The best Japanese Restaurant so far…Highly recommended…”

“Went in for dinner on a recommendation from a friend. OH MY. We went in thinking it would just be another dinner spot - we were so wrong. From when you first enter & you smell the fresh herbs to when you sit down around the table on super comfortable chairs/couches. WOW. The staff were attentive, personal and yet not in your zone too much. Helpful with advice on the food and menu. 10/10. The food was on another planet. We had three dishes in total - one appy and two mains. Cooked perfectly, extremely fresh flavours and large portions. The naan bread… just wow. Delish! Will be coming back and telling everyone about this. They deserve a line out the door.”

“good food yummy crazy boy rolls”

“Very enjoyable experience at Frankie’s! Friendly servers, great food, excellent service. Will be back!”

“We first experienced Cafe Malabar on a food tour... their Sulaimani Tea had me from hello. (I'm trying to replicate it, but I'm not quite there yet...) We went back the next day. Everything was amazing - the food, the people, everything. I can't wait to experience more of their menu in their new place. ❤️”

“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’”

“INCREDIBLE. I hope that this business makes money hand over fist, because they're hitting the nostalgia G-spot of every age demographic. Live dj. Fresh pizza. Group Mario Kart. Probably 30 pinball machines from every era. Impeccable service. Quality merch. Literally the only detractor is the fact that they only have 2 single washrooms, but this is likely due to the building structure and out of their control. I can hardly wait to go back, and encourage every visitor to Victoria to go.”

“The food is excellent but the night we were there they were already out of the french onion soup by 7:00 pm. A disappointment. My friends had the burger and loved them. I chose the mussels & frites, which were good. Overall great ambiance, great service, great food.”

“Everything was home made and incredible. I had the charred broccoli sandwich & it was perfect. I will look forward to my next visit.”

“This place is consistently good. Had hot fries, really cold root beer and decent burger!

Sept.26 1:30 am, food was fresh n great. The staff supper friendly!”

“I visited a few times this week and every time I was greeted with a smile and kind employee, either in the drive thru or inside the restaurant. I always order the same thing; a tea and a bagel. Each time they made my order just the way I asked. They never forgot the sleeve, I only had to ask for once which is very refreshing! When I presented the Tim's app they thanked me for my loyalty. First time for that. If you havent had the steeped tea, try it here!!”

“We came with 2 families to celebrate (last minute) a 7th birthday. As soon as the crew found out it was her birthday they came out with a muffin, candle, and special treats for all the kids! The kids got to make their own cones as well! They made this little girl’s day!!! They truly made the day so special!”

“I've been coming to this location for many years and always get good customer service, especially from Kartick and his team .
Always very welcoming and good service to everyone.
He always remembers my order and knows l like my tea very hot . I am always happy when I come here.
Jas from , Jas Toora Auto
Thanks”

“All of the regular fare, more like a small community Coffee Shop in feel (this is a positive thing) it can be busy at lunch time, especially the drive thru, so plan accordingly!”

“It's McDonald's so this is the fast food scale. This location is nice and bright and clean. I saw a staff member hustling and they were really nice. The food came out quick and was fresh, can't really complain at all.”

“I have been here a bunch of times over the last year as I work nearby, and consistently every single time I have been served by Carol an Hiroko, and they have been so kind and sweet every single time without fail, I actually get excited to see them at this point because their kindness is like contagious. I’ve never received a wrong or bad order and it’s always been clean and fast :)”

“My drive thru drink order was messed up. I went back later mentioned the same. Karyl helped make it right and fixed the mistake with a smile. Impressed with customer service experience. Thanks :)”

“Great service by Harpreet. I will recommend the homestyle biscuit!!!! 😋”

“I had to use the bathroom and asked to purchase the cheapest thing on the menu (since I wasn’t actually here to eat) and the lady was so kind and let me use it for free lol”

“First time in ages I had exceptional service at a Tim Hortons. The cashier actually talked to me. I ordered an americano. She told me that as a child an Americano sounded so special so her Mom ordered her one. At eight she wasn’t thrilled, but now it’s her favourite order. It was cool being able to hold a conversation. Nowadays there isn’t much chat. I had had a crazy morning, and so happy I went… it was a last minute thing.

The store was clean. Garbage bin, wasn’t overflowing, and tables were clean -first time in ever. Floor wasn’t a sticky mess. Will definitely come in again if I see this darling girl serving.

I didn’t get her name, but she has a black cat. We discussed cats - I bought the new hallowe’en mug.”

“Staffs are very friendly and cheerful! Like seriously, never seen any fast food place with that cheerful greeters! Kudos to everyone making such a great efforts! They are very fast and efficient! Team work at its finest! Thank you for the hardwork!”

“I would like to say that Hamsa working at the Goldstream Village (Langford BC) Tim Horton’s outlet I had occasion to sit watching him produce his orders in a timely and efficient manner, but more than that he had outstanding customer service skills with each and every person he came in contact with. During a time when it is difficult to get valuable employee’s who are an asset to the Tim Horton’s brand name, it was gratifying to see that this outlet had hired an exemplary employee. It was interesting to see that there were other employee’s “goofing around” but this didn’t distract Hamsa from doing his job. Again I appreciate the outstanding service Hamsa is providing at this outlet.”

“No idea how this McDonald's survives but I ironically had a good time visiting here, haha. Can tell it was renovated, big improvement.

Its in a very sketchy area by Pandora Avenue; however, this McDonald's is very clean on the inside and very quiet. Washrooms locked for safety.

One customer I saw reading a book, that's how quiet it can get. Staff were friendly and attentive.

Only thing holding this McDonald's back is literally the bad neighborhood area it's in.”

“I had the Maple Bacon donut. fabulous. Selection is great a donut lovers dream. Highly recommend”

“delicious, fresh, great menu, reasonable prices. the pakoras are amazing!”

“Excellent food. Feels fresh and relatively healthy for fast food. Would like to be able access nutritional info but haven't found that anywhere. Very yummy and great customer service.”

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

“Very tasty - just like in Paris.”

“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.”

“I've been trying to try all of the buns here, and so far every single one has been absolutely amazing.
Great food, location, prices, and service!! 10/10 would highly recommend”

“I would like to recommend for hygiene food and service provided by it.”

“I was visiting from the mainland and did some research to find a good coffee spot and let me tell you, Union Specific did NOT disappoint. My iced latte was hands down one of the best I’ve ever had, the quality of the coffee is just pure magic.

On top of that, I’m a huge BLT lover, and this place has the best BLT I’ve ever had. The ingredients are fresh, the bread perfectly toasted, and every bite was incredible. Their sweets are divine too, I had the berry white chocolate scone and it was absolutely delicious.

I was so excited to come back the next day for another coffee and BLT, but I realized they’re closed on Sundays 😭. Ever since then, I’ve been planning my next trip just so I could visit twice this time. Unfortunately, because they close early and my ferry was late, I didn’t make it on Friday as I’d hoped. My only wish is that they were open later and on Sundays so I could selfishly enjoy it even more!

They will always be my first stop whenever I visit Victoria. I can’t recommend Union Specific enough if you love coffee, BLTs, or just amazing treats, you need to go.”

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

“The best roti I’ve had in years always roti time at trini to d bone!”

“This is my go to place for Indian food. Love the coconut curry (any curry they sell is beautiful) and their naan family size goes real quick around our house! Deff recommended!”

“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.”

“Best food , cooked to perfection. Large proportions. Highly recommend. very clean, fantastic friendly service.”

“homemade tasteful rendang and sambal..well done chef Bana 👍”

“Wildly fun atmosphere and brilliant food. We sampled oysters and chowder. Layers of clean, fresh, simple ingredients (oysters, fresh grated radish, lemon, assorted sauces…) allowed a choose your own flavour adventure. Friendly but not intrusive service had us feeling welcome. Can’t wait to come again!”

“Best service ever. Friendly environment, great ambiance. Best food ever, fast and efficient, Always above and beyond”

“From the moment you walk through the door to the moment you leave, the professional and attentive staff take care of every detail. Restaurant is large - it has great ambience, the layout provides a personal and intimate feeling despite there being many tables. The food is superb, we plan on returning to make our way through the great menu. It is the best place we have eaten at in Canada for food, service and ambience. We highly recommend the seafood tower as a way to taste through some of the menu. The grilled octopus rivalled what we have eaten in Italy. The pork belly was cooked to perfection. The wine list is extensive and expertly curated.”

“The atmosphere, food and service were ASTOUNDING! We have not experienced such incredible food and service in a long time and Block nailed it!”

“Oh my goodness. My son introduced me today. The flavours. There aren’t even words to describe how amazing everything tastes. 100000% recommend!”

“wonderful everything! you go for the coffee and leave with new friends!”

“This is one of Victoria's highlights. Bunny's is a hidden gem of a cafe and one of the few places to get a decent latte, flat white, or cappuccino. The food is good, but the atmosphere is cozy and community-oriented. The best way to describe Bunny's is that it's like coming back home for the first time. We're originally from Ontario, and stepping into Bunnie's, it was a quality cafe experience without any of the pretentiousness downtown. Just make sure you have some time to kill because once you get to the cafe, you won't want to leave, and they do close early.”

“Absolutely amazing experience I had at the Restaurant! The food was super goodfull of authentic flavors, perfectly spiced, and freshly prepared. Every dish tasted rich and satisfying. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the overall vibe of the place was great. Definitely one of the best Indian food spots around. Highly recommended and will be coming back again!”

“Delicious sushi! Staff are very knowledgeable and accommodating when it comes to gluten free and celiac disease.”

“What’s not to like about ice cream in a freshly made waffle cone?! Mostly gluten free and some vegan options and locally sourced ingredients.”

“A great product from a local small business - what’s not to love!”

“Fantastic, cozy little cafe! It's a little bit hidden behind the apartments, but it's a lovely environment and as far as I know, family-owned.

Prices are reasonable, lattes are extremely comforting like a warm hug. I've only had their iluka buns but they did not disappoint.

If you're in the area, I highly recommend them! Support local!”

“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!! 😋”

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

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

“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”

“Great pizza and fast service I come all the time when I’m on break at work and never get tired of it 👍”

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

“I highly recommend this small, cozy, homey place. The staff/owners are so friendly and the cook/chef, a wonderfully friendly woman came out a few times and chatted. I came for the German meal tonight and it was fantastic. The red cabbage was like my mom used to make and the schnitzel was pounded into perfection! Topped off with an awesome Black Forest … all deeeelicious.”

“HUGE RAVE!!! Wow. AMAZING EXPERIENCE!! Never been in this store yet. Today I had the best experience welcomed upon entry by the owner. Very very very nice man!! Explaining the homemade take home Enchiladas and other amazing looking Mexican food. (Which ones he preferred) I lost my bank card couple days ago and only had cash was a dollar short for the bill and get said no problem... Let me take the Enchiladas and the Tamale anyway. I felt bad cause I wanted to leave a tip.. I will be returning tomorrow to give the well deserved tip and the dollar I was short. Definitely will be returning to support this amazing local business!!!!”

“That chocolate orange pastry is insanely good, even if not having it near to its baked time (had it near closing time).
Not usually a fan of coffee, but their orange cardi was satisfying. Adding non-coffee drinks to the menu would be nice to see - always craving an apple cider while in the area.”

“nom noms & spruce beer!! don't miss out on this wonderful restaurant, sooo tasty and delicious 😋”

“Excellent food. Feels fresh and relatively healthy for fast food. Would like to be able access nutritional info but haven't found that anywhere. Very yummy and great customer service.”

“Excellent coffee. Best coffee shop in Victoria and is independent. Really intimate setting with nice places to sit relax and visit.”

“Love the “Hey Hash” breakfast and the honey latte with house made oat milk! I add cream to it!!! Everyone is so nice and this place is amazing! It is the Disneyland of Coffee. Come try it out for yourself, you’ll thank me later 🙌🏾🙌🏾”

“This just the best spot! You will find the loveliest people here and they have awesome coffee and treats!”

“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!”

“Had a blast here. The owner was spectacularly passionate about board games and made everything fun. Right now, the prices at Board with Friends TOO cheap, not sure how they stay in business? Hopefully they will raise it later. Take advantage of it while you can!”

“Excellent selection of hard-to-find items. Reasonable prices. Shop local!”

“What’s not to like about ice cream in a freshly made waffle cone?! Mostly gluten free and some vegan options and locally sourced ingredients.”

However, if you appreciate fresh ingredients, great flavors, and a lovely atmosphere, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit.”

“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.”

“The ice cream was delicious. I got the salted Carmel dip over chocolate ice cream. It was delicious. The atmosphere may be catered more towards children but the cream is for everyone. Great service.”

“Each time I've eaten there the staff was very friendly and efficient. Food quality for Indian food excellent”

“The food is exceptional! The price is surprisingly affordable based on the quality. Would highly recommend!”

“Best Thanksgiving dinner I’ve ever had!”

“When I said the portion was small they heard me and gave me an other basket without me asking for more. I think the service is great!!!👍”

“wonderful everything! you go for the coffee and leave with new friends!”

“We had a Chinese Christmas celebration at Golden City today. We were about 180 people and they still made room for others who came for lunch. There were over 10 courses which were all delicious - hot and fresh. There was a set up for music and people from our group sang Christmas carols and Chinese songs at a karaoke mic. The service was excellent. The price was reasonable. It was fun all round.”

“मजा आ गया, came from Ahmedabad, India and visited Victoria, and found Local Pizza on the way, Found 3/4 Indian Families too, Tried some vegan (vegiterian) Pizza with family members, Very testy, fresh and nicely decorated specially with paneer, loved it, enjoyed it too much, All Local and Indians suggested to visit at least once and more & more”

“I love the sushi here. I can't wait to come back. The staff are so generous and friendly!”

“Our Italian friend recommended this bakery to us. We haven't seen this quality of baking since living in Europe. We're hooked!!!”

“Went here because it was close to the event we planned to go to. We were so pleasantly surprised. Our entire group was more than impressed with the food and the beautiful family run service. Every bite was mouth watering pure quality, home cooked vibe delicious. We will be back.”

“This place is a gem! The food’s always fresh and tasty — best hoagies around, hands down. Staff is super nice and the place is always clean. You can tell it’s family-run and they put love into everything they make.”

“Best Burger i have ever had....and I'm 60!”

“Blown away by the overall quality. Beautiful interior, excellent service, large menu, great food and very reasonable prices. Good energetic vibe without being loud. Large mocktail list and even a handful of non-alcoholic wines.”

“Awesome food, sophisticated atmosphere, and amazing staff”

“Unbelievable service from Kiera. The service and excellence is beyond expectations. Thank you for your hospitality.”

“The Filet Mignon is the best, melt in your mouth perfection and the Mud Pie to die for. The staff and service has always been excellent; a great dining experience.”

“Visiting from out of town, with family in your restaurant tonight. Outstanding service and hospitality from our server Rory😊. He went above and beyond with showing us the upper Patio. It was closed for the season but being from out of town, he was able to give us a tour.. we will definitely be back come patio season. Thank you Rory 🙌”

“Have always had good experiences at Vista 18 for both food and service. Went for breakfast recently and had a great experience with our server Emma. Friendly, attentive to refilling drinks and checking how things were tasting. She did a great job helping celebrate a birthday at our table and being sensitive to him being a celiac.”

“So shocked reading the other reviews , I'm glad I didn't look at them before going as I may have changed my mind. Waitress was attentive, food arrived quickly. We ordered the steak and seafood platter for 2. food was fabulous, too much for us to eat. My only issue would have been i had to ask for ice water.”

“We had a little bump at the start of the night when we didn't know where to put our jackets and the hostess kind of ignored us after saying there was a closet (but didn't show us or anything) but after that our service was perfect. Our server (I wish remembered his name!) was AMAZING. Greeted our table in a timely manner, checked in at good intervals and over did a great job. Food was good, loved the look and feel and the fact it wasn't too loud even though it was a full restaurant”

“Had an amazing experience last night at Earls. Everything was 💯 from walking in. Our server Shelby was incredible, never missed a thing and had all the right recommendations.”

“The food was excellent! The spaghetti and meatballs were delicious. I had the lasagna and it was the best I have ever had. The music and atmosphere was terrific! I highly recommend this place”

“Had a family celebration here this week & what a fabulous evening! Everything was great, from the atmosphere, the food, the service to the OMG dessert. The tiramisu was sooo delicious, as was the passion fruit panna cotta. Such an enjoyable experience made even better by our top notch server Marcus, whose exemplary service, recommendations & friendly attitude just put the entire evening over the top!”

“Tasmin was our server When we arrived, it was very busy, Tasmin seated us quickly in the "VIP" section which made my kids very excited. She was an absolute wonderful server, she was personable, funny and very knowledgable and helpful with the menu. She made our visit one of our favorite memories from our vacation. I would highly recommend this restaurant to families, it is a great atmosphere. Also, they offer a gluten free menu if you have dietary restrictions. Absolute 5 star review from us, we hope to visit again soon, thankyou Tasmin !”

“Fabulous seafood 🦞 excellent table service, beautiful view.”

“Really good service, and amazing views of the inner harbour”

“Wir haben heute super lecker gegessen und der Service war sehr freundlich und funktionierte perfekt!”

“This place is a gem! The food’s always fresh and tasty — best hoagies around, hands down. Staff is super nice and the place is always clean. You can tell it’s family-run and they put love into everything they make.”

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

“We had a wonderful time at the weekend lunch buffet!! Everything tasted delicious, fresh, and authentic. Our 11 'selective' year old son loved trying all the different foods! The atmosphere was inviting, and the staff were very polite. We will definitely be back to try some more delicious food!”

“One of the best nigiri in town! A good selection of fresh fish, the ratio rice/fish is perfect compared to other sushi places in Victoria and the chef added a bit of citrus on some nigiri that are fattier and some nigiri are blowtorch to enhance the flavor which shows his skills and knowledge. Love the mix of tempura and fried shallots for the crispy salmon roll. I would definitely recommend to try them out! Their prices are very reasonable considering the quality. Definitely my go to place for sushi now.”

“First time at Ay MI Mexico and can't wait to go back. We ordered the cochinitas and barbacoa tacos. They were fresh, crispy and the pickled red onions were so good. We also tried the Lamb Consumme which was rich and flavourful with lots of meat and chick peas finished with lime and cilantro. Amazing, friendly staff. A perfect meal to take to the park. Excellent paired with Horritos lime soda from the convenience store.”

“Takeout - I had the Beef & Lamb Kebab wrap, wife had the Chicken Kebab wrap, and we shared an order of yam fries. All tasted great and didn’t break the bank. Simple food prepared well…can’t be beaten!”

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

“Such an incredible hidden gem! Great pricing, fresh ingredients and solid customer service. Can’t wait to go back!”

“I was fortunate enough to be around lots of Vietnamese Food Restaurants, before I retired. Vina Taste is now what I rate as the Best of the Best. The Family that owns this restaurant, runs the restaurant. The food is so good that I knew I had to write a review. So in Langford & Hungry? VINA TASTE!”

“Oh wow, this just became my favourite cafe in the city—hands down. If the super great used book selection and array of African and West Asian vinyl (new and OP) wasn’t an indication this place is run by some wickedly cool people, the excellent coffee and food selection would still make this place marvelous and quite special.

We got apple cider, a latte, the orange-pumpkin tart and some savory bites and we got two books and we’ll definitely be back! Thanks for being cool Torch Song!”

“Tried Peter’s Sushi for the first time and was really impressed! The sushi was super fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The rolls were generous in size and the fish tasted top-quality. The staff were welcoming and attentive, and the service was quick even during the dinner rush. The restaurant has a cozy, relaxed vibe that makes it a great spot for both takeout and dine-in. Definitely one of the best sushi spots I’ve tried — I’ll be back for sure!”

“Great little spot. Friendly helpful staff. Great food and drinks.

I had the In Er Glow juice, Raw wrap and Tropical smoothie. All were super fresh and delicious. The wrap+smoothie combo is a really great value, which I didn’t expect.

I’ll be back, thank you!”

“Wow! I love going out to eat. I own a restaurant biz and tend to notice all the details.
Rabbit Rabbit blew me away, this is one of the best dining experiences I have had in a long time.
The food, the ambiance, the vibe, the details, the dinner and glass ware, the lighting, the service, the food, did I mention the food.
I recommend this place to everyone.”

“Everything I’ve had here is fantastic! Just picked up the Holiday meal for Christmas (frozen) can’t wait to try it!”

“Top level Brewery. I’ve had multiple breweries provide beer for our keg in our multiple professional men in our residential home, but nobody delivers like Hoyne. No delivery charge with a wide range of delicious beers. Many favourites we are enjoying over the years and currently loving the liquid sunshine. We had the chance to taste test the excellent true north beer at the Grizzlies hockey game while being promoted by one of their great employees Finn. Competitive market, but Hoyne’s free KEG delivery is a huge bonus. Thank you Hoyne for making me a satisfied customer for almost a decade. ❤️”
