“We visited again from Sask and did not disappoint! Amazing! Well worth the wait in line! I had the tuna on salad! And my husband had the halibut fish and chips with a side of the chowder. The chowder was his favourite. Still taking about it. The staff were also fantastic. Friendly and very efficient! For the amount of people served and the small space we were amazed at how spotless the kitchen was. Highly recommend a visit here!!”
“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”
“Shuck Taylor’s is one of the most welcoming and relaxing restaurants I’ve ever dined in. It’s my go-to everytime I visit the city. Everything is exceptional. The food, service, music and atmosphere is completely well thought and dialed in. I always leave with a big smile full belly but most importantly, really great memories. I’m looking forward to my next visit already. A gem on Vancouver Island.”
“This is our must go to restaurant when we visit Victoria via boat for 30 years. First-year there I ordered the BlackBerry halibut and every year since then I order it and it's still my favorite cooked perfect, it's hard to make halibut moist like butter. My husband loves the olive tapenade they serve with their focaccia bread and will get an extra bowl to pour on his pasta. Best cheese cake too. Great culture, attention to detail, they even use copper water pitchers, the water is great.”
“We’ve been wanting to check this place out for a while and we are so glad we did for my husband’s birthday today. The dining experience was not like anything I’d ever experienced. All of the food exceeded our expectations and they did a great job of picking out the perfect wine pairings. It was a really memorable night, thank you to everyone at the ugly ducking - and a special thanks to our servers of the night, Axel and Jamnes <3 highly recommend!”

“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!”
“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.”

“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.”

“Fern has never disappointed with their baked goods. The cinnamon buns are a must try. They added doughnuts over the past couple years which have always been very good when I've tried them. The scones are another personal favourite. I have ordered a few items off the kitchen menu over the years and been pleasantly surprised but honestly I'm often going for the baked goods. Parking around the back is convenient when available, otherwise parking in the area is a pain to find. Location is small with a few tables inside that can fill quickly during busy hours. Staff is always pleasant. If you follow their social media they sometimes post BOGO near the end of the day if they have treats leftover.”
“This Japanese restaurant is really great 👍. Andy’s service was excellent—his recommendation to add tuna to the sashimi platter was absolutely spot-on ✅, along with the eel and wagyu sushi. The ingredients were fresh and delicious, and I’ll definitely come back again.”
“The atmosphere, food and service were ASTOUNDING! We have not experienced such incredible food and service in a long time and Block nailed it!”

““Part and Parcel” is a restaurant that is passionate in food and hospitality. Every item on their tasting menu was packed with flavor (slightly on the saltier side!) and creativity. Their ambience from the lighting, seats, decor, and down to the menu are curated to portray their authentic and genuine taste.
I highly recommend this place, will visit any time I’m in Victoria BC!”

“Atmosphere was great and happy hour enjoyable..
Our dinner server was Amy..What can we say about Amy..She was a great server with a wonderful fun personality. She knew her product well and was always there when we needed her.
She was they type of server that knew when you needed her but, never hovered. She always kept our table cleaned for the next course of food..
Thank you Amy for a memorable Victoria trip”
“A friend and I just dined here for the 1st time and we both were blown away. The renovation of the interior is beautiful and the service was impeccable. We were treated to the owners daughter that kept checking in on us and had a great conversation and heard some background of the development of this new idea from the owners as we have always been fans of Sizzling Tandoori.
We ordered 4 dishes to share and they were all incredible. My personal favorites was the gnocchi dish and the torkhi chaat dish???? we will definitely be back and highly recommend trying this place out!
Thank you for the lovely evening.”
“Today was our first meal at Dosa Paragon - we will be back for the best Indian food in Victoria. We are glad the server recommended Chicken 65 as it was truly delicious alongside the flavourful chutneys. The chef owner chatted with us about the traditional ways and ingredients they use. Highly recommend the food and friendly service.”
“I've been coming to Swans for 20 years it's always been a local hotspot.
I was lucky enough to be served by Kate on her last shift before going overseas! I will miss her signature trademark😉if you know you know, and her super cool vibes. Good Luck in London !!”
“Went here with 3 gal pals and loved it! The menu is gorgeously expansive with classics and unique twists. Our waitress was a pro at giving suggestions and narrowing down our options based on our taste preferences. The vibes inside were retro hotel - cool moldings & wallpaper. Cozy, dim lighting, sexy. Garnishes were all very fun, drinks were delicious! My only regret is not trying more drinks!”

“The service is fast, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the coffee is always fresh. Special shoutout to Sheelah, one of the crew members, whose friendly attitude and exceptional customer service make every visit enjoyable. She truly goes above and beyond to ensure customers leave with a smile!
Vegetarian options: So good too!”
“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!”
“it is 4:33, Monday, December 23. i sit here and just watched a mcmiracle. im a hungry man, so i placed an order hoping to get a decent 10 nugs, bigmac, and fries. the result, was something i have long forgotten. the reason i go to mcdonalds. not only did i get piping hot fresh food, but when i asked for a cup of water they gave me a hesitation free challace to cherish. sometimes when i go to mcdonalds i cant lie a lil soda may end up in my cup, but here that didnt even cross my mind. they delivered with a smile, and i swear hands down i had the best mcmeal of my mclife. while i was eating, the most elegant worker melodie was sweeping the place to that nostalgic perfection. the tables were cleared moments after any party left throughout my stay, which continues to highlight their outstanding service. would i reccomend this place if you want a mcdonalds meal ?? not necessarily. would i reccomend this place, if you want ronald
himself to come and bless you with a mcmiracle, then i would take a swing by. i dont think youll regret it.”
“You know what's up. I like Mickey D's. I'm a loyal devourer of chicken snack wraps and mcdoubles. Convenient for folks who wanna grab a quick bite of some mediocre but lovely food that never fails to hit the spot for me. One thing : stick to the dollar menu or certain cheaper items. Any promotional meal or item will be 3X the price for something that's the same size as a dollar menu item. Gotta think smart and order smart 🧐”
“"I had an amazing experience at McDonald's, thanks to Yogita (not quite sure about her surname)! She greeted me with a warm smile, communicated very well, and handled everything in a professional manner. While presenting my food at the drive-thru, she made the experience feel welcoming and pleasant. I truly felt good meeting her, and her positive attitude made my visit memorable. Yogita’s professionalism and excellent service are truly appreciated!"”
“Let's be honest for a minute, Timmies is not the best coffee, nor is it the best food, and the service is somewhat frenetic, or non existent. Having said all that, there is something about the anticipation of arriving and the joy of leaving with a hot coffee that you know will taste exactly like the last one you had just that morning. And the same as the one you had 4 times the day before. There is comfort in consistency, and that is the magic elixir of Tim Hortons.”
“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.”
“Absolutely loving the new early hours!!!! 7am opening makes it possible to grab some awesome food prior to work!”
“Very delicious food ,Lots of choices hard to pick one .Friendly environment excellent service. 👌👌My family loves Turmeric its so good and I recommend to all visit Turmeric and try food . 🤗🤗its so amazing the way they presented the dishes and I can’t 😀stop myself to visit again and again .”

“We really enjoy coffee and treats and occasionally lunch in this lovely spot. The staff are great, the venue charming. The outdoor water views are beautiful. The only thing I would suggest, is to add few savoury baked goods, for those of us without a big sweet tooth. Savoury scones, sausage rolls etc for a small sustaining snack😊”
“Very impressed with the whole experience. Reagan did a great job of passing on interesting information on their brewing and distilling process and kept it fun and engaging throughout. Our group was quite surprised by the quality of their whiskey products. We bought two bottles and will be purchasing more in the future. I can't recommend this activity enough.”
“Love this place. I first came here several years ago and was shook by the smell of their in-house baking. The coffee cards are nice too if you're a regular. I developed a passion for chess by playing on their tables here, which have boards painted on the table tops.”
“Been a couple times now, and the food and service has been fantastic both times. Really great Japanese food in a nice location with lovely staff, highly recommend”

“Absolutely loved the food . Very authentic taste which i couldn't find anywhere else. Service is super fast and they are very considerate and accommodating . For someone working on ship ,this is absolute gem to have . I can visit every week for my weekly indian food when we dock in Victoria.”
“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.”

“This place is seriously THE BEST! Such a cute place with fun stuff to get kids, my kiddo loves the pokemon sour candy. But I'm here today to say their pop corn chicken makes my taste buds sing! I LOVE THEM. The waitress was awesome too, she goes well out of her way to give you the best service imaginable. If I lived closer to this restaurant, they would see me daily lol”
“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.”
“Health Essentials is just exceptional. Every time we visit, the staff are friendly, can answer questions and are truly interested in their products. They stock a good variety of supplements, dry Keto foods, and the best variety of frozen meat in Victoria. If it's not in stock, they'll request it from their supplier. They also host Professional seminars throughout the year too. A 10+”
“One of the best Viet restaurants I have ever been. The beef broth deliciously reminds me the flavor when I was in Vietnam. Highly recommended!”
“Superb flavours. Light and spicy, lovely cooked fish. Definitely a visit you will not regret.”

“I drove out to the fairway market shelbourne this weekend because I really wanted Lumpia. I ordered a meal plus extra Lumpia. the meal was pretty small for the 1 item plus noodles, which I got pancit bihon. The pancit was very runny which I have never experienced before, and it did not have much flavour and not good however the Lumpia was delicious. I wouldn't recommend the pancit bihon but I do recommend the Lumpia, so delicious.”
“Delicious sushi! Staff are very knowledgeable and accommodating when it comes to gluten free and celiac disease.”
“What a great spot, delicious menu and super friendly staff. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Victoria.”
“Everything was a highlight. The splashy fun decor and friendly attentive service were my first impressions. And then came the food. Wow all so good! Can't say enough about this place so I'll just say Ya' gotta eat here!”
“This is probably the first place I can actually say the hamburger was the best I've ever had. I know this place is known for their burgers but oh my heavens it was amazing. Staff were friendly, helpful, and very accommodating. I highly recommend this restaurant.”
“Quick stop for a Guinness before we headed back to the cruise ship. Live music and awesome atmosphere.”
“Excellent French food and personalized service. This is slow dining at its finest. He makes his own bread, cheese and vinegar.Truly remarkable food.”
“Channeling my inner Hemingway, thought what better way to appreciate the culture that captivated and inspired him… Spanish cuisine and Wine! Mother and daughter team, Veerle and Vanessa source only the finest authentic ingredients to create a beautiful evening in España. Whether a pre football match, romantic moment or social time with friends, Tapas is more than an art-form but a way of life. From Europe and travelled extensively in Spain this family offers Authentic Spanish Tapas Pintxos, Conservas, Raciones, with Vino Cava, Vermut and wines on the menu at Matadora Tapas. An absolute delight and can’t wait to come back! Great service from Vanessa and Matt wish to ensure you’re treated as a VIP! 🇪🇸🍷🥂🏆🍤🥓🍇”
“Great to have this little gem so close by. Great presentation of food ! delicious burgers, salad and smoked fish chowder”
“Biryani dishes are incredibly beautiful. Rice and chicken perfectly cooked. So tasty and such a comfort when you are hungry. Biryani second to none, no wonder the restaurants name. Quality and generous portions. I now eat here at least 3x's a month.”
“Very enjoyable experience at Frankie’s! Friendly servers, great food, excellent service. Will be back!”
“Best christmas dinner. As a family it was perfect . Highly recommend to anyone.”
“What a bar. If you like cocktails this place is a must. The menu is beautiful, the complexity of the drinks incredible, the service top notch, the decor spot on. If I lived in Victoria I would be a regular. If you are visiting, treat yourself to a great time.”
“Good pizza. Small zoo with goats 🐐 always on the roof. Store with gifts and goodies.”
“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!! 😋”
“Sedona Cafe & Lounge is amazing! Lovely patio, fabulous food & classy vibe! We had the Sedona burger with Yvonnes amazing homemade salad dressing. Then to top it off, homemade sticky toffee pudding with homemade ice cream! (We shared but now I wish I didn't have to) It was all to die for and the perfect place for foodie lovers date night! Check it out!”
“A HUGE thank you to Herald Street for welcoming our group tonight! The service was wonderful, the beer was excellent, and great times were had.”
“This is hands down the best Italian style pizza I’ve had here. Unbelievable flavor. Fungi supremo is my favorite.”
“Great service. Delicious food and creative beverages. Stoked to have the one with everything cookie and a peanut butter bomb when we get home❤️🌱🍪”
“Had the Vietnamese Stew with rice that was on special & it was heavenly. The most flavorful & delicious dish I've tried in a while. The hostess was a little flustered between balancing the prebooked reservations they had and the line up at the door right at 5pm for dinner opening. But she did her best and provided friendly fast service.
It's a small restaurant with a small kitchen so there will be waits when it's busy. Would recommend though”
“.🥲Normally have an ok experience. Today though had the Austin Benny andwas very disappointed. When they state porkbelly and you get shaved roast porkbelly that is not seasoned and because it is thinner than their bacon super chewy and distracts from the other flavours of the dish which are okay. If they rubbed it and braised the belly and cut proper thick slices for porkbelly it would do the oppisite and add to the dish 🥲.”
“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!”
“Incredible Chili Basil Pork delivered by the owner's husband to track and field officials at the BC 55+ Games. Friendly service and amazing, hot food!”
“Great pizza and fast service I come all the time when I’m on break at work and never get tired of it 👍”
“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. ❤️”
“Minimal aesthetics & amazing food! The service was excellent and fast. Our server was so polite and pleasant. The food... Oh my god the food was divine! Would totally recommend for opulent brunches.”
“Original and authentic Indian restaurant I would like to say original flavour of Indian food. Great service, would highly recommend.”
“If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Ian from Ile Sauvage understands what hospitality means. I reached out awhile back, looking for a casual, and approachable venue for mine and my wife's 10th anniversary party.
Ian showed up, and came through in ways we could have never imagined. From letting us have full reign of the brewery space, to hosting trivia, bringing in our desired food truck, to checking in with every guest very consistently. He went as far as ensuring there was were more canned options to choose from for our guests as we had a handful of celiacs in attendance.
There was not a single guest that didn't have great things to say about Ian and Mikayla.
Come for the incredible beer, stay for the next level vibes and hospitality that you really can't find many other places in Victoria. Ian and his staff will make you feel at home, celebrated, and taken care of all while ensuring the cost remains extremely approachable.
Don't sleep on reaching out to Ian and his crew for your next event. You will not regret it. I know I already can't wait for an excuse to plan the next party.”
“Hope you will have faster service especially for kids who can’t be patient”
“we had the BEST experience!! A platter for 2 with a sliced 12 oz med rare steak, 2 lobster tails, 4 prawns, 2 large lobster stuffed mushrooms, garlic mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables and 3 dipping sauces. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! You won't be sorry going here.....”
“Polite, prompt & attentive service. Superb tapas. Cute venue for relaxing.”
“We had the dill pickle dip as an appetizer it was so good, and had fish and chips which was also delicious. The staff was very friendly and attentive definitely will be a repeat customer”
“Had delicious soup here today. The food is always so good and great portions. The ladies are so friendly and great cooks also. Highly recommend.”
“We stopped here for dinner and everything was delicious. We had the edamame, prawn tempura, California roll, and seafood ramen—all of which I would highly recommend. The food came out incredibly fast, and the service was great. A fantastic spot if you're craving fresh, flavorful Japanese dishes.”
“Thank you Chris, Ky and the entire staff for making our last night with our new life long friends so memorable and special!!! The food was absolutely off the charts, the hospitality - amazing and you gave 11 people that were complete strangers 10 days ago, something we will always treasure!! Thank you again for a wonderful evening!!! Dave Small”
“The food is exceptional! The price is surprisingly affordable based on the quality. Would highly recommend!”
“Friendly local hangout with A LOT of beer on tap. Had to get the poutine, the fries are great. Leona our server was great. Definitely recommend”
“Thank you so much for the fantastic service and dinner. Everything was perfect for my wife’s birthday party.”
“I just witnessed the sweetest act of kindness by a staff member.. customer service and food were outstanding!”
“I have been dining here for years, and what keeps me coming back is the remarkable consistency. The sashimi is always impeccably fresh, with a clean, delicate taste that speaks to the quality of their ingredients. The rolls are not only creative in flavour but beautifully executed, showing a real attention to detail and balance.
What sets this restaurant apart is the warmth of the experience. Chef Tony has a wonderful way of making guests feel welcome, and his passion for the craft shines through in every dish. The staff are equally kind and attentive, creating an atmosphere that feels both inviting and refined. It’s rare to find a restaurant where quality never wavers over the years, but this has truly become a place I can always trust for an excellent meal.”
“Incredible atmosphere that somehow manages to be both exciting and intimate, and like the food, in perfectly balanced servings. Amazed at the number of flavours and ingredients they are able to fit into a sushi roll without falling into the "westernized sizing" that so many similar establishments seemed to have adopted. Delicate, balanced, and satisfying without being a meal ender. For those who enjoy all the various food media these days, and have wanted to experiment without signing up for a large, unknown dish... the Tapas style and extremely affordable menu makes multiple visits not only a must, but a new, yet familiar experience with each visit. Attentive yet subdued service finishes the dish perfectly. Balance and thoughtfulness are the threads throughout which the entire experience is woven.”
“Just had the first of many meals at Sushi Langford. The food was amazing. Everything was made to perfection and the flavours were next level. The service was exceptional and Jenny went above and beyond to make sure our experience was a memorable one. These people love what they do and it really shows. Make sure you stop in for lunch or dinner you won’t be disappointed!”
“Fresh flavours and friendly faces at a fine price. I love coming here!”
“The guys that where working were very polite and the tea was amazing! 🤤”
“Ate here last night and WOW!! So fresh and deliciousness with every bite and reasonably priced to boot...my new fav place in Victoria! Already planning to go back!!”
“Very good experience, we were welcomed by a our server and host and she was extremely welcoming, we were seated immediately and were able to order right away, considering they opened 15 minutes before we sat down, the food came out at a reasonable time. We ordered 4 bentos and a katsu don, and everything tasted amazing, overall amazing service and good food!”
“Great place for locals and tourists alike - couples, families, friends, workmates, whatever, good food, good beers, and plenty more besides. Along with a couple of flights of beer, we had the Kafka-esque hot dog and the Mustard Pickle Grilled cheese with pulled pork - excellent! Pictures in the Comments below…”
“L'Apero catered our professional event today and to say the food was outstanding is an understatement. Deliciously fresh and inviting, top quality ingredients and excellent service. Some really wonderful and unanticipated additions (honeycomb, figs, sugared cranberries) The pate and cheese was to die for. The entire staff were blown away. Thank you for such an amazing lunch!”
“Good food and lots of local beers on tap. Nice place, very busy. Good service.”
“The server was amazing, accommodating, friendly, personable, genuine, and asked all the necessary questions (allergies, spice level). I’m not sure if she was the owner but you can tell she knew her stuff. She accommodated all of our requests and made awesome recommendations. The restaurant was inviting, and had nice water and fire features. The food was top notch, and came out quickly. Before they opened for dinner, we had seen people wait outside of the restaurant to get in once they opened, which is always a good sign anywhere you go. Thanks for the amazing food, would recommend and I wish I got the servers (or owner?) name!”
“My wife and I arrived at 5 ish on a Saturday in early January and were immediately seated.The place was busy but we were given menus and attentive service from the start.We always get Fajittas and Quesadillas and these arrived quick, piping hot and very good.And it was in the range of real peoples wallets.We don't drink but the young people around us seemed happy.”
“Food was great! Poutine appetizer is delicious. All entrees for our group of five were outstanding. Great service Live music the night we were there but was not super loud.”
“We visited Pagliacci’s tonight on our stop in Victoria on our way back home from an Alaskan cruise. The atmosphere and the food were phenomenal! Thank you guys so much for such a wonderful experience!”
“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 !”

“Best Location in the Hub of Victoria with the Best Staff to Match: I’m a local resident who favours 10 Acres Commons. This downtown eatery at the hub of Victoria sits across from the Empress Hotel with a patio on all the action. Managers and bartenders Alex & Roy make you feel like every time is your first time with excellent service and friendly smiles. The owners aptly promise: “Our locally based menu featuring sustainable seafood and organic produce from our farm, exuberant steamer bowls, generous sharing platters, creative cocktails and local craft beer on tap are just some of the reasons to come by and hangout.””

“I am a regular customer there for a reason. I enjoy the food a lot, but also the people and the decor. Also, they have 2 bathrooms, which I find very convenient considering I always wash my hands before starting to eat. The food is full of flavour and they have lots of options to choose from. The location is also great, as a final detail. Go try it, you might like it!”
“We recently dined in March restaurant in May 2025. The food and ambiance were excellent, and we were pleasantly surprised with the discovery of this restaurant in Victoria. Please note that this is not your typical Chinese restaurant that serves the run-of the mill dishes for a quick turn-around; instead, this restaurant serves authentic Cantonese cuisines. The chef is passionate about his cooking -- they use the freshest produce and ensure that customers enjoy the pure and natural taste of the dishes. The restaurant is tastefully decorated; it is devoid of the 'loud' Chinese lanterns or traditional writings -- and this reflects the owners' attention to detail. Dining in March is a delightful and satisfying culinary experience. Highly recommended!”
“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”

“Fantastic service and atmosphere, every time I've been here. Special shout out to hosts Sireena and Jelena who went the extra mile (literally ran after us) to help make our special evening even more so. It was the evening of our wedding anniversary and we decided to try our luck getting into B+B for dinner without a reservation (iykyk). Just as luck seemed to not be on our side and we were walking down the front steps, one of the lovely hosts ran after us to invite us back as another server had just arrived so their section was now available for seating. We had another superb visit to B+B, thanks largely to Sireena, Jelena and our talented server, who's name I sadly cannot recall at the moment.”
“Took our mother out for her birthday and decided to pop in for lunch, service was absolutely wonderful with Pam being wonderful not just to us but every guest I saw her with during our time there. Had the fish and chips and I'd argue it was the best I've ever had and well worth the price. Also, almost everything on the menu from my understanding is gluten free and as fair-trade as you can get which is a nice thing to see nowadays and a definite plus for people with dietary restrictions.
All in all, with the historic significance the 6 Mile has with a great staff and even better food I'd highly recommend going here if you find yourself in the neighborhood.”
“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 🙌”
“We have eaten at Milestones Victoria many times and the evening of August 3rd , was no different in that we were very impressed with every aspect of the experience! This was a very busy evening due to the Symphony Splash event and the long weekend, yet as usual the experience was lovely! The food is delicious and served with large portions. The Servers are always very pleasant, taking the time to talk and share experiences even though we know they are very busy! Servers and Management are always willing to accommodate to your requests and needs! We have never felt rushed to leave and have always felt very welcome! We also learned this past evening the Management are working hard to minimize food waste, which is very commendable. Thank you to all of the Staff.”
“10s across the board!
Scott our server was funny, super helpful and quick with any and all requests.
Great service and the views are amazing, they even placed us on the side where the sun was setting for the best experience. One of my favourite spots for a great meal and service !
Amazing work!”
“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.”

“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.”
“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. ❤️”
“Staff are super friendly and they paid attention to details, even when they are super busy. Never got our food mixed up👍🏻👍🏻 We love to order our food here.

“The pizza was good and the service was fast. They have a keto crust which is very decent. I noticed that the keto crust option isn’t on your menu anymore. Pizza Pizza is one of the only keto crust options in Victoria, so I was wondering if you’ll be adding it back to your menu.”
“Just go it’s very awesome”
