“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!!”

Uchida Eatery 633 Courtney Street, Victoria Japanese • $$

“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.”

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.”

“Came here at just after 4pm today on a whim. Clearly we hadn’t checked their opening time ahead of our visit and when we rolled up it was closing. However as we were planning our next move their finance guys happened to be leaving and asked if we would like to be servers some whiskey and beer. Of course we said yes! He opened everything back up for us and proceeded to served some samples and a tasting flight. Then he gave us a little tour of the back. Clearly MacAloney’s finance guy cares about the bottom line because we bought a few bottles. But more than that he cares about service and keeping customers happy. What a great afternoon and what a great place! Oh and their whiskey is fantastic too.”

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.”

One positive thing I noticed was a really young kid named Allen working there. He was very friendly and helpful.

It was nice to see someone so young taking his job seriously.”

Kizuna Ramen on Douglas 1314 Douglas St, Victoria Ramen • $$

“Let's start with the bad. The only problem with this place tonight was that it was so hot! One ceiling fan wasn't working and there was an obvious heat wave in the restaurant compared to the beautiful weather outdoors.
Besides that, we got the cabbage salad, the pork gyoza dumplings, and a regular and spicy miso Raman. We really liked the cabbage salad. The dumplings were great with a fine oil to dip in.
The main dish was so flavourful. The spice is substantial so be warned. The egg was perfectly cooked and the meat was too. The service was excellent.
I hope you guys get the air circulation fixed and wish you tons of success.”

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.”

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 🥲.”

It's a small shop located inside the mall, better for a smaller group. When we visited there was construction inside the mall which was unfortunate, but the staff tried to reduce the noise and dust.

I wish they didn't use AI art in the menus -- we almost didn't visit for this reason, which would have been a shame because it was a great experience. It would've been nice to have real photos of the actual food in the menus, because the actual food was both gorgeous and fantastic.

Had fantastic vegetarian ramen, which came with some side dishes, and a really delicious blended drink. Staff was friendly and gave us a small free taro dessert. I will definitely be back!”

Floyd's Diner James Bay 425 Quebec Street, Victoria Pet Friendly • $$

“.🥲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 🥲.”

Citrus and Cane already had a great reputation but this new location is more accessible to the downtown folks and they kept the beautiful atmosphere and vibe. Highly highly recommend! There was a waitlist but what do you expect from a great place that is one of the best places to be on a Friday night?! Wait wasn't long BTW. Check them out for the first time or re visiting and supporting the move to the new location. We'll be back very soon!”

“An Unforgettable Evening at Lumache

Lumache offers one of the most unique dining experiences in Victoria. With only 16 seats, the restaurant feels intimate and personal. The owner and chef prepares each course directly in front of you, allowing you to watch the entire evening unfold.

Every dish was thoughtful, beautifully presented and full of flavour. The vintage plates added character, while the small setting made the meal feel more like dining in the chef’s private kitchen than visiting a traditional restaurant.

My wife enjoyed her wine selection, and the group seated beside us spoke highly of the wine pairings. We are more drawn to cocktails, and Lumache’s creative cocktail list did not disappoint.

The entire evening was a huge hit. Lumache delivered one of the best dining experiences I have encountered in Victoria—if not anywhere. For anyone who appreciates excellent Italian food, thoughtful drinks and a truly intimate atmosphere, this restaurant is an absolute must.”

It's a small shop located inside the mall, better for a smaller group. When we visited there was construction inside the mall which was unfortunate, but the staff tried to reduce the noise and dust.

I wish they didn't use AI art in the menus -- we almost didn't visit for this reason, which would have been a shame because it was a great experience. It would've been nice to have real photos of the actual food in the menus, because the actual food was both gorgeous and fantastic.

Had fantastic vegetarian ramen, which came with some side dishes, and a really delicious blended drink. Staff was friendly and gave us a small free taro dessert. I will definitely be back!”

James Bay Coffee House 455 Simcoe St,  Square Unit 1A, Victoria Coffee Shops • $

“The James Bay Coffee House became a favourite — and a huge hit — from the day it opened. Coffee houses are abundant in Victoria, but the truly outstanding ones have something that sets them apart, and JBCH certainly does. The staff — along with the owners, who work daily at both the James Bay Coffee House and their Shoal Point Coffee House — are always smiling, which immediately makes friends and me feel good. They know their products, and they are incredibly patient. (You don't fully appreciate that quality until you're the person standing at the cash with a few questions before deciding what to order!) The products are fresh, delicious, varied and consistently high quality — at times, downright irresistible. And the atmosphere at JBCH is cozy, welcoming and positive. Both JBCH and SPCH are family-owned businesses, and the owners are truly hands-on, working alongside their staff and setting a wonderful standard of excellence. You can feel that commitment in the friendly, happy atmosphere they have created for their customers. James Bay Coffee House is a lovely coffee house, and we are so fortunate to have it right here in James Bay. I think it is absolutely worth a visit when you're looking for a great coffee house to enjoy on your own or with others.”

“It's a restaurant and a cafe in one. It's right on the ocean so there's great views. The food seemed uninspired, the chowder was watery but I think I would give them another chance. Chance. The pizza was fairly good and they have a forno oven that makes delicious crust. Good selection of mocktails and a delicious.”

Glo Restaurant + Lounge 2940 Jutland Road, Victoria Lounges • $$

“We celebrated a friend’s birthday tonight at Glo Restaurant + Lounge, and it was such a fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely incredible. The presentation, the flavors… just yum. You can truly tell how much care and effort goes into every dish. Everything looked beautiful and tasted even better. The service made the night even more special. The seater/greeter was so warm and welcoming right from the start. Our server, Kaitlyn, was amazing in every way. Super polite and fun, yet still professional and perfectly attentive without being overbearing (which we really appreciated!). The bartender was SO sweet as well. Thank you for the little details that made a difference. For the paper napkins (cloth ones give me the ick!), for happily substituting my mashed potatoes for a salad, and for delivering such genuinely great customer service all around. We truly enjoyed ourselves and will absolutely be back!”

“Have been a number of times to vista 18 for brunch and dinner. Food and drinks are always great. The service isn't overly quick, but last time was abysmal. Waited over 15 minutes for coffees and then they arrived in dirty mugs. Server checked in once at beginning of meal only. Had to request more water and coffee from another server. Disappointing to say the least.”

“Absolutely love the 6 Mile Pub! As someone who needs gluten-free options, I was so impressed by the huge gluten-free menu and how many choices there were. It was such a nice change to have so many options instead of feeling limited to one or two dishes. Everything we ordered was delicious! We had the fish and chips (come automatically gluten free) and were hands down the best I've ever had!

Our server, Faune, was truly wonderful. She was incredibly warm, friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. Her service really made the experience even better.

Between the amazing gluten-free selection, delicious food, and fantastic service, we will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!”

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.”

ROLL N BOWL 788 Yates St, Victoria Sushi Bar • $

“This place had a very good price for the portion size. Food was fresh and tasty with the dishes including lots of flavour. We ate the edamame, udon noodle bowl, kung pao chicken and teriyaki chicken.However, all their chicken was deep fried including teriyaki chicken which you would expect to be grilled. Kung pao not as spicy as expected. Other than those issues, the staff were nice and the place was well kept. They also did a good job st staggering the dishes. Overall, a pretty decent place for a quick bite and freshly made.👍”
