Victoria May 2010
See All Lists
1. Restaurant Matisse
If they gave out Michelin stars in Victoria Restaurant Matisse would get one if not two. My buddy and I came her for our third and final night in a row of four course French dinners. Considering the first two were Brasserie and Brio it had stiff…More »
2. Cafe Brio
Oh Cafe Brio how we love you! This was my third time going to Cafe Brio and it was incredible yet again. It was our second night of three straight nights of four course French dinners in Victoria and it definitely stepped it up a notch from Brasserie…More »

I am surprised by the overall review score for this place. This is on my list of favorite… Read more »
3. Clive's Classic Lounge
For some reason I decided to trust this Tom W. guy's review and check out Clive's Classic Lounge. Boy am I glad I did. I would call Clive's Victoria's answer to NYC's Milk & Honey, to Seattle's Zig Zag Cafe, and to Tacoma, WA's 1022 South.
Walking in…More »
4. Dark Horse Books
I'm not usually a huge bookstore guy, but I found a lot of cool stuff at Dark Horse today. First of all, Dark Horse is a mostly used bookstore that has a variety of books but specializes in occult and counterculture/subversive books (they have others…More »
5. Ebizo Japanese Restaurant
I came here today for a late afternoon snack and was very impressed. I just had green tea and the deluxe sushi sampler (tuna roll and eight other rolls).
The rolls they provided were all great. It included tuna, prawn, red snapper, and more. I was…More »
6. Brasserie L'ecole
This was part one of three nights of four course French dinners while I was in Victoria. My buddy and I had read on Yelp and heard from talking to people in the city that it could be hard to get into. But we stopped by on a Friday night and only had…More »
7. Chocolat Chocolatiere De Victoria
I am not someone that knows a lot about chocolates and sweets, so I'm not going to be able to mention the finer points of the chocolate they produce here. What I will say is that for $5 I picked up three truffles that were all made in-house. The…More »

Vegetarian,
Juice Bars & Smoothies,
Breakfast & Brunch
Oh ReBar how I want to love you more. You make pretty good vegetarian food and some great fruit drinks and smoothies. But you charge quite a bit for your food and it just isn't quite worth the price.
First of all, I will say that I stop here multiple…More »

I have really enjoyed Rebar the several times I have gone there. The drink menu is extremely long… Read more »
9. Demitasse Cafe - CLOSED
Oh Demitasse I think you've passed up Mo:le as my favorite brunch spot in Victoria. I've been here two times now, most recently this morning for brunch.
I just wanted something light so I got the energizing breakfast. Which is homemade Demitasse maple…More »
10. Mo:le
I am going to have to knock Mo:le down one star. We came here yesterday after arriving in Victoria. I had the spelt pancakes (with banana embedded into it) and some cranberry juice.
The cranberry juice had a lot of sugar in it but I have come to…More »

I haven't found a better brunch spot in Victoria yet. The food is great, the service has always been… Read more »
11. Ditch Records & Cd's
So I am a bit mixed on Ditch. It is pretty much across the street from our hotel and being a total music freak I had to stop by. They were nice to us when we did stop by even though we walked in like one minute before they closed.
I was pretty…More »
12. Sugar
So I did end up going to the Delhi 2 Dublin concert here last night. I have to admit that if you aren't situated in the right spot this could be a pretty crappy venue. But we managed to get down right in front of the stage and the sound and energy…More »

OK so I had a fairly different experience at Sugar than the other two reviewers. First of all, I… Read more »
13. The Bengal Lounge
If you frequent nicer hotel bars (think the Oak Room at the Plaza Hotel in NYC) and enjoy them you'll like this place. The Empress hotel is probably one of the few places regal enough to contain the lodge-themed Bengal Lounge without it seeming like…More »
14. Utopia Silk Screening
Utopia has a great selection of shirts. I can't remember ever seeing anything offensive here; the shirts are all witty, funny, poignant, or a combination of those. When I was here last weekend I got a copy of a cowboy squirrel holding up another…More »
15. The Mint
When I first came to Mint a couple of years ago it was a pretty busy place. In fact it was packed. Back then pretty much everything on the menu tasted great and it was actually initially recommended to us as a dessert place.
Fast forward a couple of…More »
16. Earls Kitchen and Bar
Walking along Government St. I saw Earl's and thought, "A place also named Earl's up here, interesting." But then I looked at their graphics and realized it was owned by the same company that runs Earl's in the Seattle area. So I decided I would try…More »
17. John's Place Restaurant
I should have known that this wouldn't be a great brunch spot for me when the guy who recommended it called it a "greasy spoon".
I stopped by anyway today and tried the orange juice, giant cinnamon roll, and the exotic French toast. I thought the…More »
