Ferris’s has many menu items revered by locals as classics. Comfort food like chicken penne soup, classic burgers and fries, and poutine sit alongside more sophisticated fare such as oysters, seafood pastas, reasonably priced cocktails, and locally crafted beers. With a charming patio in the back for al fresco summer dining and a cozy brick interior for the rainy season, it’s always a good time of year to head to Ferris’. And considering the quality and quantity of food provided, even a cheap chicken like Pete has to agree that Ferris’s downstairs is a bargain.

High quality authentic Mexican food available from two “cafeteria-style” service locations. Fast, fresh, delicious and very cheap considering the quality of food. A “Pete’s Pick” for pleasing our palates and our pocketbooks.

One of Victoria’s oldest and best loved Indian restaurants and a great place to sample multiple dishes . Though some find the décor “tired” we think it’s charming and with a crispy samosa in one hand, warm nan bread in the other, and a steaming bowl of delectable curry in front of you…WHO CARES!

Fantastic vegetarian eatery that even omnivores will love. Decadent, fresh and flavourful meals, drinks and desserts. When we are in the mood for delicious food that feels good to eat we head to Rebar.
