Restaurant Review No.2 - Red Fish Blue Fish

 

Red Fish Blue Fish is located in the heart of Victoria's Inner Harbour. Surrounded by boats on one side and Wharf Street on the other, RFBF is located inside a couple of retro fitted shipping containers right on the wharf. Very modern, very green and very yummy.

Breve - Restaurant Review No.7

 

 

My first visit to Breve was a baffling experience. Actually, the bafflement started before I even got there.

And I wasn’t the one who was baffled. It was the employees.

Lully's Sandwich Bar - Restaurant Review No.5

I've been driving past Lully's Sandwich Bar for a couple of weeks now meaning to stop in and each time I seem to talk myself out of it. Growing up in Toronto, I have had my share of great kosher deli sandwiches and  each time a Victoria deli has purported to have Montreal smoked meat or corned beef, I've been left with a stacked heap of disappointment.

Demitasse - Restaurant Review No.6

 

Demitasse has been on the corner of Blanshard and Johnson for decades in Victoria.  A long forgotten destination - it changed menu items as often as it has owners.  In the last few years James has taken this place back to its former greatness.  In recently obtaining the former Rising Star bakery, and its massive kitchen, Demitasse has been able to substantially increase the variety of the menu at both locations.

Union Pacific Coffee - Restaurant Review No.4

UP After Dark is the evening incarnation of Union Pacific Coffee on Herald Street.
At night the candles come out, the music is chill and it’s a wine bar with great food, well-edited wines and the kind of service other restaurants should take note of.

Golden City Restaurant - Restaurant Review No.3

 

Golden City Restaurant

What is it with the mixture of pork, chicken and shrimp that's so magical? I guess if I knew, I'd own my own dim sum palace. Although I'm sure that a regular ingestion of deep fried dumplings and steamed meat in the morning can't be good for you, I am powerless to stop my bi-weekly to monthly visits.

Golden City is my crack dealer when it comes to dim sum. You need to arrive by 10:30am or so to aquire a good table. By a good table I mean one close to the kitchen door so you have first dibbs on whatever portion of steaming yumminess comes strolling by.
