Best Historic Restaurants in Victoria

We had a lovely family dinner at Earls Victoria. Our server was fantastic with repetitive and prompt service. Even though it was busy, she was super attentive. All 4 of our main entree’s were excellent for quantity, quality, presentation and taste. We had the cheesecake and crème brulee for dessert and both were delicious. Our drinks were also excellent. We will return!!

The most fun we have had in a long time. Super lively, good comfort food and the band was great. Fantastic service as well. My husband and I can’t wait to come again next time we are in Victoria.

All of the staff were top notch, service was fast and on a busy day like Valentine's Day, it can get chaotic in the service industry, but not here. Our waiter, Hunter, was also personable and provided good recommendations. As for the food, it was perfection. Highly recommend the shrimp tacos and prawn and pork dumplings, we ordered them twice. Will definitely return.

One needs to appreciate that this dining room is used as a de facto training centre for the college's hospitality and culinary arts programs so the students who wait the tables are understandably nervous as they practice their skills and learn their trade. Keeping this in mind brings context to the food and service.

I met five friends for tea at the Pendray Inn and Tea House and it was fantastic! Afternoon tea is one of my favorite things and I'm pretty particular, but this place did not disappoint! From the moment you walk through the stained glass doors you're transported to a beautiful setting filled with warmth and charm from the decor to the people who work there. Miki was our server and she was so attentive, cheerful, and helpful with all of our orders and the different types of tea.
