Swan's Brewpub

June 13, 2010 - 19:41 — Cheryl

Located in a heritage building at the foot of Pandora and Wharf Streets, Swan's Brewpub may look out on a busy intersection but it feels like a retreat. We treated ourselves to breakfast here recently -- not a meal I generally associate with a brewpub, but one of Swan's best. 

The breakfast menu covers all the bases including four varieties of eggs Benedict -- we selected two of them: the Veggie Benedict and the Lox Benedict. 

Spinnaker's

The Spinnaker's building on Catherine Street in Vic West is home to a Restaurant on the main floor, a Gastro Brewpub upstairs, an on-site brewery and Provisions, a retail store where you can purchase chocolates, baked goods, malt vinegars and more. 

Bard & Banker Public House

May 1, 2009 - 22:27 — Cheryl

If you only have time for one great meal in the city and don't have minors along with you, I'd suggest checking out the Bard and Banker Pub. The "Bard" in the pub's name is poet Robert Service who worked at the bank that once operated in the building. The pub is part of the Victoria Pub Company group; all their pubs feel authentic but the over-the-top opulence of the Bard and Banker is worth the visit alone.

1550's Pub Style Restaurant

November 21, 2008 - 20:15 — Cheryl

Since 1994, this unassuming pub-style restaurant in the 'burbs has been doing steady business. Geared to the university and college student crowd, 1550's (named for its address) boasts a huge drink list and a varied menu but it is also family-friendly, offering a kids' menu and the obligatory colouring sheet and crayons. Despite the size of the menu, service is usually fast -- a bonus for campus staff who often dine here over their lunch breaks.
