Aura Waterfront Restaurant & Patio is part of the Laurel Point Inn located on the beautiful inner harbour of Victoria. A friend visiting from out of town was staying at the Laurel Point Inn, so we decided to go there for a Sunday morning breakfast. For our meals, Dayna ordered the Point Breakfast ($15), which [...]
Vista 18, part of the Chateau Victoria Hotel & Suites, is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. During our recent stay, we got to sample some of their breakfast menu. After being seated with at a table offering a gorgeous view of the Parliament Buildings, The Empress Hotel, and the Inner Harbour, we were brought [...]
With the discovery of a coupon for De Dutch Pannekoek House in a local newspaper, we decided to try out the Saanich location near the intersection of Quadra St and McKenzie Ave. Already big fans of breakfast at IHOP (when will Victoria get our very own IHOP?!), we had fairly high expectations going in. For [...]
Brannigans is a locally owned and operated family restaurant that has been open in Victoria for over thirty years. Brannigans is probably best known for their all day breakfasts with fluffy pancakes, omelettes, waffles, and more. Needing a quick breakfast before a round of golf at Cedar Hill Golf Course, I stopped in at their [...]
Having just completed the TC10K run (my first ever!), I was ready to dig in to a big breakfast as a reward. We made a reservation at John’s Place a week ahead of time, anticipating the large crowds (and waits) after the run. Believe it or not, I had never been to John’s Place before, [...]
Recently for a friend’s birthday, we visited Moxie’s Classic Grill on Yates for Saturday brunch. If you are like me and didn’t know Moxie’s even had a brunch offering, they open each Saturday and Sunday at 10.00am for the late breakfast crowd. Apparently we weren’t the only ones that didn’t know Moxie’s had brunch, as [...]
If you are looking for a little bit of old England after the Blethering Place Tea Room in Oak Bay closed its doors, the James Bay Tea Room and Restaurant may be the perfect substitute. The building itself has a long and storied history, beginning in the early 1900′s as a family home. Over the [...]
Pagliacci’s Restaurant has been a downtown Victoria restaurant staple for more than 30 years. A big part of the appeal of Pagliacci’s is their delicious focaccia bread that is served with their dinners. Pagliacci’s also offers brunch one day per week, on Sundays. Similar to their dinner seatings, you are likely to encounter a line [...]
Teambuy recently had a 50% off deal for Cabin 12 in downtown Victoria. Never having been there, and eager to try it out after hearing many good things about it, we snapped up the deal for $20 worth of food for just $10. We arrived for a very late breakfast at around 1.00 pm on [...]
There are a number of popular breakfast spots in Victoria, and one of them is Floyd’s Diner. It is a funky all-day breakfast spot that delivers on good food and friendly service. It is kind of hard to miss as the building is painted bright pink, and those that probably don’t know where Floyd’s is [...]
