De 5-sterrenreview van Mike: We made a plan to be here 4 nights on Salt island and started off with a marvelous dinner in the manor house. With a fantastic view into the harbor we knew the evening would be great. And the staff and food prep did not disappoint! Started out with lobster bisque (with a good amount of lobster) and a dozen snails (chef slipped a couple extra!) in a marvelous garlic butter and Parmesan sprinkled over all. Then for entree we enjoyed a wonderfully prepared Herb Crusted Wild Pacific Red Snapper With Creamy Parmesan Polenta, Basil Pesto. I enjoyed the Pan-Seared Nova Scotia Deep Sea Scallops on a fresh bed of lettuce mix and greens. So definitely a restaurant to try but you'll want to plan staying a night or more given they are on an island off the Vancouver island! Rooms are great also with some placed in cabins with views making you feel like you're in a tree house amongst the pines. Of particular notes, each morning different fresh baked muffins mysteriously appeared outside the suite door . But definitely the breakfast each day was amazing. -
De 5-sterrenreview van Mike: A popular place they had lots of attentive wait staff. We opted for the fish and chips and it was the best outside of London I'd had. Really good light breading allowed to taste the fish and wonderful home made tartar sauce. Definitely a great place to relax and enjoy a simpler meal! -
De 5-sterrenreview van Mike: A random hit to visit while waiting to go to airport this small restaurant was very bright with lots of windows looking out over the yacht. Great prices for a nice variety of option as it appeared to cater a bit to retirees with boats. Well worth looking into when you're in Sidney area near the Victoria International Airport. I enjoyed a great salad meal; Sea Glass Nicoise Salad Very fresh ingredients with nice variety of fixings. The owner/manager was our server and she was nicely attentive as would be expected. -

De 5-sterrenreview van Mike: A place you might not actually find without a Garmin, a nice farm/orchard that makes different kinds of Cider from the wild grown Apple trees on the island. But the menu items were a great selection for a nice afternoon lunch waiting to check into the Hastings Manor. Operated by younger folks both for getting Cider and the meals, we went with a charcuterie board that was the nicest spread of delectable items and a flight of five ciders to try. -

De 5-sterrenreview van Mike: While in Victoria we picked this out of the way place hidden between buildings and back alleys. Decor felt very authentic and was quite popular. We were seated in a small alcove which was perfect to keeping the noise down to allow talking without effort. But the general many different shaped eating areas allowed for having a cozy feeling throughout despite the many patrons. Enjoyed great salads and different pasta and must say the bolognese recipe was the best I ever had. Looking forward to our next visit to Victoria to eat here again. -

De 5-sterrenreview van Mike: Renovated an old 19th century place, they've done a great job of keeping the old feel but very nice newer layout and decor. They have indoor and outdoor dining but we liked the upper floor small dining loft area which was quieter and overlooked everything. Had the trout (Steelhead) which was perfectly prepared on a sweet potato layered like a lasagna. Of course the wait staff were friendly and attentive. We ate early (6pm) and definitely recommend reservations as the place filled up by 7. -

De 5-sterrenreview van Mike: Our visit to Vancouver Island included 4 nights at this marvelous B&B styled hotel. With a long history, the current owners made this into a great place to stay with modern conveniences without losing the old-style touches. The Library was a great quiet location, the room (Opal room) was comfortable, large, and provided greaat views out the many windows of the trees around the building. We particuly enjoyed breakfasts offered. Different each day, the quality was excellent as was fresh brewed coffee. Given the number of guests and limited dining room space for tables, the hotel requested us to pick a timeframe to dine so that the pace for table availabilty and meals were manageable. We chose 8:30A and we arrived each day with 10 minutes of that time. Worked great to get a table without feeling rushed or the food delayed in arriving! And each afternoon the chef put out a nice spread of meats/cheeses sometime, and homemade soup other times. All in all a great experience! -

De 5-sterrenreview van Mike: As we were staying at the hotel, Villa Eiyre, we enjoyed a couple of great evenings at this restaurant. Both nights, the seating and epic views of the water and other islands were a highlight for us and complimented the caring staff and excellent food prep and presentation. Well worth the drive from the city, and recommend you spend the night so you can really enjoy the hotel/dining experience. -
De 5-sterrenreview van Mike: Very popular small rustic place out to the west of Victoria serves great sandwiches and pies. Limited hours don't stop folks from coming out and waiting in a substantial line at times. Staff were busy in the small kitchen and took a while to get our sandwiches but when they arrived they were hot and great.
