1. Stage
So last night I did one of my favourite things to do.
I went to Stage for dinner with my boy :D
Can I just reiterate how obsessed I am with their cortes mussels? And that their incredibly flavourful forest mushrooms are my favourite item on their menu.…More »

First off I would like to crown Stage as my number one favourite restaurant in Victoria. They have… Read more »
2. Hernande'z
5 zillion stars!
I'd say I eat here way too much, but it doesn't feel like too much. It just feels awesome.
The latin food (not Mexican specifically, they're from El Salvador) is local, fresh and crazy delicious. My personal favourites are the…More »
3. Clive's Classic Lounge
Clive's has serious drinks for people serious about their drinks.
It's been a few weeks since I've been so I won't regale you with the details of all the amazing concoctions I've consumed. But. Understand you want to consume them. Shawn is a master.…More »
4. Kulu
To preface I would never normally dole out five gleaming stars from one take out experience. But I also never would have expected an Asian restaurant this incredible to crop up in my neighbourhood or Victoria for that matter. I'm dead serious people.…More »
5. Brasserie L'ecole
The previous guy's crappy one star review prompted me to finally get off my lazy ass and show my love for one of Victoria's most exquisite restaurants.
There are reasons why such a nondescript restaurant, hidden next to a little Asian grocery store…More »
6. Bistro 28
Alright, Bistro 28 is now currently the number one contender for best cocktails in Victoria.
I just spent my very happy birthday here and I am in love.
I severely enjoyed my sidecar and pisco sour, but the extra bit of fantastic was when I asked our…More »

7. Sen Zushi
As I munch on my takeout lunch from Sen Zushi I feel compelled to write this update.
My simple order, dynamite roll, spicy tuna roll and one piece of unagi is blowing my mind. My unagi, for example is (or was) maybe four inches long and so friggin'…More »

Its difficult to express my love for Senzushi so I'll just make this feeble, unworthy attempt.

8. Relish Food and Coffee
Jamie Cummins is a definite top chef in our city. Relish is obviously a true labour of love for him. Anything I've tried has been seriously beyond delicious.
My most recent indulgences have been the chicken, bacon, brie sandwich, oodles of brekky…More »
9. The Village Restaurant
So if you're from this beautiful city of Victoria you're fully aware of the plethora of breakfast places we offer. I remember the days when I used to frequent several of these locales. Most of these places I would even give 5 star reviews, because 4…More »
10. Ferris' Oyster Bar
The similarities between Ferris' upstairs and downstairs are as follows;
both are owned by Tom,
both serve delicious oysters, among other things,
beautiful exposed brick walls, albeit a much classier, modern feel upstairs.
The areas where they differ…More »
Recently updated lists from christine c.
Lions and Tigers and Thai, Oh My! (5)After reviewing most of our Thai restaurants in town, I've sadly concluded we're lacking a little in this department. Hopefully my list will help those looking navigate through the not so good spots and find something they think is oh so good. (And I know I'm missing a couple, but I'll get to those guys yet). |
Pretty in the City (7)From locks to toes these are some of my Victoria favourites for feeling pampered and pretty. It shall be an ever expanding list for the ladies.... |
A Seattle tourist's non-touristy faves (7)Non-touristy for the most part, but Campagne is sooo good! |
Eating In! (6)A list to assist for your gourmet home cooked meals! |
