An insider's guide to Victoria since 1997.

Victoria has a vibrant restaurant scene with a high turnover rate. Our reviews are as objective as possible, but as service and food quality may vary from visit to visit, please consider these a guideline. Browse reviews below alphabetically or sort by price, rating, or cuisine type.

**Visitors should note that Provincial bylaws mandate that all restaurants are non-smoking.

While the bulk of these reviews have been my own, as part of "Cheryl's" Unofficial Guide to Victoria, I decided I can't do it all by myself. Starting in August, 2009, two more reviewers will be adding their opinions: my husband Mike and my friend Colin Newell, who is the Senior Editor and Creator of CoffeeCrew.com and a contributor to Eat Magazine.
