Review from Emily-Anne P.

I had to add that the Fernwood in is a great place to get a beer and burger on Tuesday. For $9.95 you get the Fernwood Ale and either a vegge burger or a bacon cheddar burger.
The burger comes on a fresh chiabatta bun and all the fixings, lettuce, tomato, cheese, bacon, onion etc. It was fabulous. Absolutely fabulous.
The beer was okay, they'd just changed the keg when we ordered our Fernwood Ale and I'm pretty sure they actually gave me an IPA, but it was decent. For just under $2 more you can upgrade to a different beer and for an additional $3 you can get a side. Either way it's way cheaper than normal and I have to say, one of the best burgers I've had in a really long time.Listed in: BEER

The Fernwood Inn is one of my default "let's grab a beer not downtown" pubs. Since they were renoed… Read more »

Review from Purdy J.

Nice pub with lots of indoor and outdoor patio seating. Friendly service.
Menu had quite a mélange of food items from samosas to burgers to Ginger fried beef and even samosas. You can go around the world without leaving the table! Food was not bad. Salads were a good size. Burgers served with lots of fries.
Tuna Steak sandwich was quite tasty but it was not quite the sandwich what I expected. The toast was nice but it was very, very thin, so it wasn't possible to eat it like a sandwich with the thick piece of tuna. Tuna was cooked to perfection but the tomato basil salad only consisted of a few pieces of greens and two very tiny, thin slices of tomato.
The side soup was extremely small. It was about the size of a baby sized food container... Maybe 2 ounces!
Good spot... Some good things and some not so good, but overall a good experience.
Note: they do beer tasting for their cruise line visitors.... Wished they did it for their regular customer's too! -

We stopped at the Fernwood Inn on the night of the playoff game that got Vancouver into the Stanley Cup so that coupled with the fact that we were on our honeymoon made for a lovely evening. It's a beautiful pub in a nice old building in Fernwood, Greater Victoria which I wish we would have had time to pay another visit to during the day. I found it through Yelp and was excited to try it out and would definitely go back. My husband had a delicious burger and I had "The Inn Salad" which hit the spot but had wayyyyy too much Brie on it. What was lovely for me was how friendly the place felt, it was a nice mixed crowd and our server was really friendly. I would highly recommend as a tourist to venture away from the touristy bustle of Government Street and make your way to this charming neighborhood. It's worth the adventure!

This neighborhood pub-style restaurant is a wonderful addition to Fernwood. The building is beautiful and the food is generally quite good.
My last experience was disappointing despite the warm atmosphere and friendly service. Frankly the food was borderline terrible. The wings were gummy and didn't taste at all fresh. And the Fernwood salad, which is normally delicious was wilty with frozen blueberries instead of fresh. I know blueberries aren't in season right now, but how about taking this dish of the menu until they're available again? -

This restaurant is pretty close to my house, and with their later than usual hours I end up eating here frequently.
I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for fewer than three people, because it's pretty loud. The wait staff is generally very good, not a lot of chatting with tables (which I like) and very quick with bringing out food.
Their burgers are always very good. I recommend the sweet potato fries to go with them! Also, the pickled beet salad is really good, one of my favorite things on the menu. Additionally, on Thursday nights they offer a "Wing Night", with plates of chicken wings for 5 dollars. The whiskey barbeque flavor is my favorite, the garlic honey is way too sweet, but the Frank's Red Hot is good.
The Montreal Smoked Meat Stack and the Steak Sandwich are both pretty disappointing. Both of these sandwiches come open-faced....which really ruins them in my opinion. Add to that the Montreal Smoked Meat Stack is COVERED in mustard...and I love mustard, but it was so much I almost couldn't eat it. Who wants to eat an open faced sandwich with sauerkraut, and melted cheese on it anyhow? Bad idea.
If you are vegan or vegetarian....this isn't an ideal menu for you, pretty much everything has meat or dairy in it. -

This is a good venue for a group due to how casual it is and the size of the tables. The menu is fairly small and is pretty simple. Everything I've had to eat was decent pub fare. The service is pretty swift and drinks make their way to the tables quickly. It's loud which is great for a group (you can have a boisterous time without being "that table") but perhaps not where you want to go to catch up over a pint on a one-on-one date.

This review is specifically for their crême brulée. Many afficionados know about the place already, but if you haven't tried it, add it to the do-before-you-die list.
It is so smooth, so silky, so rich, so perfect that I could never dream of making it this way at home. I ate it there over a month ago and I still remember it like this. Its temperature is perfect, the sugar crust is perfect... It really is their specialty. Good artsy/alternative neighbourhood too.
Try the jamaican place across the street for dinner then eat dessert here (and review the jamaican place because I can't remember the name).Listed in: Secret spots
