    a dining room with tables and chairs
    Roger M.

    We parked our Tundra/Airstream rig at the Black Ball Ferry Line in line to Port Angeles later. Then, we strolled over to Bar Love. Recommended by a Whole Foods clerk, she said this restaurant was incredible and organic. Don't panic, it is Organic! And here we are primed to eat lunch. What a delicious and scrumptious lunch. Tempeh tacos, spicy mayonnaises slaw, cilantro yogurt, pickled red onions, candied jalapeños and pico de gallo. That's all? That's incredible! With a yum yum Kati roll include spinach roti, curry potatoes, radish cilantro & mint yogurt, roasted cauliflower, rhubarb chutney, pickled onions and arugula. Add a cup of coconut lentil soup of the day. Great to share for us two. So much grub and so much love into these wonderful organic ingredients. Be Love! Now tap your heart to share love to your Be Love server. And tap your tummy cuz you gave it love too. Tap the heart and tummy together! Get it! Try Be Love and love to eat well!

    What a special find. Searched for a vegan restaurant and found Be Love. Visit this place for lunch or dinner - you will not be disappointed. This is a great place for vegetarians and for those who are strictly plant based, but there is plenty to chose from, and I know that those who eat meat, fish and dairy will come away satisfied as well. The service was simple, as is the ambiance, and it was exactly what we were looking for. I give this the highest of recommendations, and wish that this place was in our town! Look forward to eating there again sometime in the future. Thank you for a very memorable meal. Cheers!

    Berry cake

    Rating 4.5 Bright and high ceilings, nice decor, great food and friendly service. They make everything from scratch and it's all vegan and gluten free, including the spinach roti for the Kati roll. The roti had a nice texture and did not break or crack apart. The potato/cauliflower filling with pickled onions was nice but I was expecting a different flavour based on my Kati roll experience. It was tasty though and very filling. The side mushroom soup was ahhhhmazing! So tasty and comforting on a rainy day. The cacao smoothie was good but way too big to have with the meal so I put it in a take away cup. I ordered a piece of berry cake to go to enjoy later and it was nice....not too sweet. The servers were friendly and helpful. The items were pricey but the quality was excellent. I'm so happy I found this place

    Morel soup and Tempeh Tacos
    Cate W.

    Delicious light supper at this all vegan restaurant, cup of fresh Morel mushroom soup with large chunks of mushroom, followed by tempeh tacos. Wonderful combination of flavours in the tacos, smoked tempeh with pickled onion, crunchy cabbage and grated carrots, spicy jalapeños and a cashew crème drizzle topped off with a spoonful of fresh tomato salsa and a squeeze of lime. Quick friendly service and tasty beverages. Definitely recommend the kombucha based sparkling 'Bon Bucha' lemon, ginger, blackberry, touch of maple syrup.

    We had a great time eating Be Love, a plant-based restaurant! The extensive menu filled with delicious plant-based options. The food was good. We had the tempeh sandwich and Spinach Kati roll. The mezze platter was my personal favorite dish. The The ambiance was lovely. The service was excellent. Highly recommended for anyone

    Tacos and curry (curry was made of water I think)
    julie t.

    Service was good but food was pretty bad. Only come here for drinks I think. And bring your own hot sauce omg the hot sauce was wack

    Green bowl, lovely broth, love the bok choy, eggplant and cashews, nice ginger finish. Nourishing!
    Leslie E.

    Superb, nourishing food, lovely service, delightful ambience. Ezra was a gracious and helpful host. Attention to detail to flavors and presentation. Dedicated GF, DF, vegan, hooray! No refined sugars!! They make their own cheeses, milks, desserts, and they are phenomenal! Don't miss the medicinal fudge, it is a religious experience!

Ambiance was great - super warm and welcoming which was magnified by the host. Super lovely. Then the wait staff. Whoever is hiring/training is doing a great job! Not drinking right now but the cocktail menu was super tempting. Every menu item sounded great. We got some help on ordering from our servers and Tanya picked ones she had enjoyed before. We also sat right beside the pick up window so it was fun seeing food come out! The food was fantastic. See pictures for what we ordered. Not sure if I can remember the names of everything but it was a perfect combo!!

    So straight up this place went and took us to places we hadn't been prior to eating at the Block…read more Overall a very enjoyable experience for sure, but you cannot pigeonhole this place, which is a very good thing! We are big fans of traditional fare, but the Block is a place we are so glad we experienced and will certainly return utilizing the knowledge we garnered during our first experience. A big thank you to for helping us through picking one price fixe January exploration of your local restaurants and filling it with other ala carte additions. As we often do we ordered far too much food, wanting to explore everything off a menu that is far reaching. Not sure if our additions worked with the price fixe menu, but we sure enjoyed checking everything out. The interior is interesting with the addition of structural steel in the space to keep this heritage building (I think) standing tall for a few generations. We sure hope it's still here for a long while and will most likely come again the next time we are in Victoria. That is saying a lot as there are a wide range of restaurants in the neighbourhood, but you do want to check the Block out!

    Just another excellent evening with the restaurant folks! This time, finding the place was easier…read more(it's off a back alley). Got there just when they opened and got a prime seating near (but not to near) one of the fireplaces (they have several italian brick style). The restaurant has many twists and turns creating many wonderful dining alcoves. Very inviting to sit and talk. So on a cold December evening we both had the Polo Appollonia; a wonderful mixture of garlic, bacon, and cheesey pasta. But the real star of the meal were the appetizers! Amazing tasting tomato soup, and the insalata caprese. The salad had a large portion of crisp tomatoes served with like a half pound of real homemade buffalo mozzarella, and lots of fresh basil. Almost a meal. The waiter was very helpful in selections of the food and some wine. We will definitely be back on our next visit to Vancouver Island.

    You have to come here! Amazing food, service and atmosphere. Ordered drinks- loved the Chianti…read more Got the caprese salad for an appetizer- perfect for 4 people to share. I ordered the LINGUINE CAPESANTE without onions. It could not have been better. Allison was the most amazing server. Ask for her! My friend had the FRUTTI di MARE della CASA. Those were probably the table favorites. The manager even came by to ask us how things were going. On a Monday night the place was packed. I recommend making a reservation. The bread and the olive spread with the dinner were so good. We ordered the tiramisu and the crème brûlée to share. Amazing. I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant !! Love it!

    I say potato, you say po-tah-to, I will take it any way as it is so versatile…read more If I find myself in Canada, poutine is a must. Although there are many variations with different toppings these days, just like poke, my favorite way is still the classic Quebecoise poutine just loaded with squeaky curds and gravy. The large is enough for two to share, unless you plan on making it your entire meal which I wouldn't judge especially since you can't find ones with the squeaky curds back in the US.

    I haven't had poutine since moving from Detroit a year ago. Seeing a place named "L'Authentique" -…read morewell, it has to be good right? This restaurant is essentially a small shack on the waterfront level with some outdoor picnic table seating. It's conveniently located next to a large pay lot, so there's plenty of parking. When we stopped by after driving off the ferry on a Friday evening, it was relatively quiet and we were able to place our order with only one party ahead. Since the fries are freshly fried, it took a couple of minutes to assemble. Classic Poutine, Large ($15 CAD) - As a classic poutine, this is a pretty simple dish. The fries are clearly fresh cut, with even a little potato heel in the mix. They are cleanly double fried, allowing the requisite tenderness on the interior combined with the crisp exterior, even holding up to the gravy poured over the top. The gravy is pretty standard. It seems to be from a powdered base, so it's mainly there to contribute sodium rather than any robust beefy or vegetal flavors. They add a ton of cheese curds on top, enough to cover the entire surface of the metal tray the poutine comes in. The curds are fresh, milky tasting, and fabulously squeaky. They are still distinct with some substance instead of being melted into a puddle from the hot gravy. (4/5) While I can't really compare L'Authentique to anything in Montreal (seeing that I've never visited), I thought it was pretty good. It's clearly good enough to satisfy my poutine craving at least! Washrooms - No public ones, but if it's not too busy, the staff allows customers to use the staff washroom.
