BeaverTails - Victoria

While visiting Victoria we had to try out some poutine and beaver tails! Yelp results showed this as the best rated to where we were, and while the outside looked not that impressive - the food was good! Is this a chain? Probably. It gave me American Wetzel Pretzel/Hot dog on a Stick vibes but it did just fine for us since the food was a new experience. We got a hazelnut beaver tail which reminded us of a flat funnel cake and the poutine was fries with basic light brown gravy and chunks of mozzarella. Employees were nice, and service was prompt.

We got here before the cruise ship rush. Nice place for a sweet treat. We were too full to try their poutine but the beaver tail was good.

Only a couple tables in front of the stand.

Light on the gravy but solid option for a quick poutine fix.

Fries were hot and fresh. The kids loved their BeaverTail dessert (Coco Vanil) and the wife enjoyed her Mehple.

The food was just okay.
The service was horrible. The staff isn't friendly at all. I felt rushed trying to decide what i wanted to order.

I desperately wish this chain was in America. There are a ton of different varieties and I would love to try more of them. A simple but delicious treat.

Went here for a late evening dessert and it was so good! We tried the apple pie and pistachio beaver tails. Both were delicious! It's in a really fun, lively area too, which made it all the better. Will definitely go back when I am next in Victoria.

Glad we came across this place. Poutine was good, had a lot of cheese curds on it. Fries and gravy was nice and hot. Lemonade was nice and refreshing. The rest of the food smelled really good.

Had a few tables outside so we sat down and enjoyed.

Redeemed our yelp bonus after checking in and got a hotdog too.

The Beaver Tails were yummy! I prefer the classic, but my son loved their limited time Kit Kat Beaver Tail.

Stopped here while on a cruise! First time having poutine and loved it! This is just a storefront so it's all outdoor seating in an area with other cafes/restaurants. There was a line when I got there but it went by super quick! Employees were really nice and made small talk with everyone asking people where they were from and such. If I'm ever back in Victoria I'll go back for more food!

Conveniently located within Downtown Victoria, its one of those cheap snack/ dessert franchises you have to hit up just because it exists. Flat fried dough with a variety of sweet toppings doesn't get any simpler. Unless I've forgotten, I've had other locations where the dough had a more substantial bite. It makes the toppings cloyingly sweet and doesn't balance them out well enough. For a late night craving, it's just easy access at least.
