“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”
“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.”
“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.”

“Fabulous New Year’s Eve set four course meal with wine pairing: thoughtfully delicious. Bravo and all the best for 2021!🥂🍽”
“Amazing pho! Great service! Definitely worth having to pay for parking to come here! Best Pho I have had in 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.”

“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”
“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....”
“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+”

“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”

“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.

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

“delicious, fresh, great menu, reasonable prices. the pakoras are amazing!”
“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 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.”
“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.”
“Delicious sushi! Staff are very knowledgeable and accommodating when it comes to gluten free and celiac disease.”
“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!! 😋”
“Although they don’t serve food I had to give them 5Stars anyway because these drinks are simply the best. As a person who abstains from alcohol this bar and these bartenders make the BEST de-alcohol used drinks anywhere. Best armosphere, room, music, drinks and service. Such a lost art but this place really makes and reminds you what actual brilliant service should look like. Thanks, Citrus and Cane.
😊”

“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!”

“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!”
“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!”

“Superb flavours. Light and spicy, lovely cooked fish. Definitely a visit you will not regret.”
“Five stars across the board! I went here on a friends recommendation after moving in Victoria, and it's quickly become my favourite place to grab dinner at least once a week. The ladies who run the shop are so nice! If you love ramen, please check this place out!!”

“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Super accomodating and ang sasarap ng food! Fast service din kapag sinabing ilang minutes to wait, ganun talaga ung service time”
“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.”

“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!”
“10/10 experience! The cocktails and bites we had were unreal and amazing, and the staff made our birthday celebration so special, despite us being on a time crunch. I've been before and each visit is better than before. Thank you!”
“Very enjoyable experience at Frankie’s! Friendly servers, great food, excellent service. Will be back!”
“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.”
“Original and authentic Indian restaurant I would like to say original flavour of Indian food. Great service, would highly recommend.”
“Polite, prompt & attentive service. Superb tapas. Cute venue for relaxing.”

“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’”
“Beautiful place and kind and attentive service. I had the grilled pork noodles - wonderful chewy home made noodles with savoury pork and flavourful sauce with peanut base. The Flower Tea was elegant and soothing. Don’t miss this place!!!”

“Such an incredible hidden gem! Great pricing, fresh ingredients and solid customer service. Can’t wait to go back!”
“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!”
“Great service. Delicious food and creative beverages. Stoked to have the one with everything cookie and a peanut butter bomb when we get home❤️🌱🍪”
“.🥲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 🥲.”
“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.”
“Delicious and fresh food every time! I have dined in and ordered out from Kitchen Story and it is consistently great every time. The sushi is so fresh, the portion sizes are good, and everything is very reasonably priced. Will definitely be going back soon!”
“Fresh flavours and friendly faces at a fine price. I love coming here!”
“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.”

“In the city for the weekend and kids wanted some pizza. Love checking out small mom and pop shops as they always impress. Picked up some pizza to go, and it was a huge hit! Will keep in my pizza roster for when I return. 🍕”
“This outdoor patio is the best in the city! Indoor dining is also exquisite. 👌 😍 Great food, drinks and staff. This is also a fantastic hotel. 🎄 🎁”
“Whenever we stay in Victoria we always enjoy having lunch or dinner here. The food is great, the folks are wonderful. One of our favorite places.”
“We were so delighted that Joie Cafe was open after its month long holiday (well deserved). Joie Cafe is like stepping into France for the atmosphere, excellent coffee and delicious crepes. It is a special place.”

“We hired Fresh Tandoori Indian Restaurant Royal Oak to do our event catering. They went above and beyond our expectations and the food was delicious the presentation of food was done very beautifully. I would highly recommend them for your next event big or small.”
“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.”
“Good food and lots of local beers on tap. Nice place, very busy. Good service.”
“When you walk into Tibetan Kitchen you immediately feel relaxed in the cosy warm atmosphere of the place. Generous authentic Tibetan decor adds to your experience. You are welcomed and served in a really friendly manner, the food is delicious, and per the photo the chai tea is not just a tea bag in a cup but an authentic chai they make in-house. Yum! Tibetan Kitchen is a great place for a relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable lunch or dinner.”
“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…”
“This is hands down the best Italian style pizza I’ve had here. Unbelievable flavor. Fungi supremo is my favorite.”
“One of the best pizzas I ever had. Great service. Worth travelling for.”
“Good food reasonable prices and friendly service. The beer was good too.”
“The guys that where working were very polite and the tea was amazing! 🤤”
“Had dinner here for the first time and really enjoyed it. The portions were generous, the food was high quality, and the service was quick and efficient. The only thing that could be improved is the atmosphere — the seating near the fireplace, which I assume was decorative, felt a bit cold.
Adding some background music, or turning up the volume if it was already playing, would also help create a warmer atmosphere. Overall happy with our experience.”
“Our first time. I thought it was 10% off for take out. Ordered dinner for 3. Beef and broccoli was great need more beef. Sweet and sour pork very tasty but small portion. BBQ fried rice I enjoyed partner preferred another type. Chowmein was fine but bland. Reasonably priced.”
“Wonderful ambiance in the well decorated classic 19th century luxury building. Drinks excellent. Cobb salad was excellent, too much to eat. Bard salad was good but not substantial. No vegan options in the MAIN menu. Only 2 vegan items in the HANDHELDS, SOUPS AND SALADS menu (both were salads). Overall a great environment.”
“The stuff here are phenomenal and very knowledgeable about the products they have available. The drinks are spot on and the charcuterie board was spectacular. The team works together seamlessly, like a well oiled machine. If we are ever back in the area, we will be stopping by again. Thanks you all for a wonderful experience and we will see you soon.”

“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.”

“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 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 !”

“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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. ❤️”
