    Food
    Ashley B.

    First restaurant I tried in Victoria, BC. Pretty amazing store and so cute too. They use their spaces really well. Super nice people, and LOVED ALL THE FOOD! Below in the picture I posted is what I got and OMG!! Pair it with a side of rice and mix it in and it's amazing!!!!

    Oven roasted chili chicken & brown rice snowy chicken
    Kyle K.

    Weird. But perhaps that's my ignorance of Asian cuisine speaking. First, the chicken is delicious. My wife had the brown rice Snowy Chicken and I had the oven roasted Chili Chicken and both were cooked wonderfully. Point of clarification - "brown rice" indicates breading, which means "oven roasted" has no breading. Both dishes came with cole slaw (which I believe is prepackaged) and "mashed potato salad," which means cold mashed potatoes. In other words, sides are a pass. Also, both entrees came with some kind of tasteless, textureless carrot-shaped food mixed in with the chicken. If there hadn't been enough chicken I could understand their inclusion as a filler, but there was more chicken than I could comfortably finish, so they could (should) have been left out of the meal. Lastly, the "snow" on my wife's chicken was (we're confident) cheese powder from boxed mac & cheese. Unappetizing and distracting. In summary, the chicken is prepared wonderfully, but everything else is...weird.

    Bacon Poutine and Oven baked chicken
    Timothy R.

    Great service, the waitress was attentive and polite. Nice little corner restaurant with a good selection of dishes. We tried both the bacon poutine and the original oven baked chicken. I would give the poutine a 7.5 out of 10 and the chicken an 8.5 out of 10. Good sized portions with a short wait for the food.

    Beef bulgogi
    Lemuel B.

    When the service is outstanding, you can expect the food to be of good quality as well. The owner was so thoughtful and made our eating experience very enjoyable. We did not have to wait for our water to be refilled- a service that you don't see much where most would just leave a bottle of water on the table. The oven-baked soy garlic was a tasty variation from the usual deep-fried. The bulgogi had a good amount of beef unlike other places where there are more extenders than the meat itself. The highlight of our dinner was the crsipy pork belly with fried garlic and onion toppings. It was crispy on the outside but soft on the inside with just right proportion of meat and fat. The serving was good for 2-3 people and you won't break the bank for their prices. Definetely check this place out if you are visiting Victoria.

    I am giving the overall bar a 5! It's a super fun bar located right off the major street in…read moreVictoria. I was visiting for only 4 short hours. We wanted to grab a beer and head back to the boat. The atmosphere is super fun. We were greeted right away and I was overwhelmed with the beer list. The server let me try a few. I don't think she heard me because it was a little loud. I ended up getting a beer I wasn't a fan of. I'm not one to send things back so I drank what I had. 1 star for the beer I had. This place has MANY drinks to try from. I didn't see a food menu. They might have one. I also didn't see a physical menu, it was scanned from the bar. Still recommend going here!

After a quick search on Yelp we settled on The Churchill so they could try several different local beers. I opted for the featured cocktail of the month Into The Wild with blackberry gin, blueberry liqueur, honey, lemon & orange bitters. I thought it was really good, smooth but potent. When visiting Canada, I thought it was mandatory to get the Poutine - Beer battered fries, squeaky cheese curds, homemade beef gravy. Very filling and did not disappoint. The rest of the family liked their choices (Nashville Hot Grilled Chicken Burgers, Pulled Jackfruit Bun) as well. We sat in a large booth instead of at the bar like most of the regulars and locals. Service was a little slow but would not keep me from coming back.

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!

    You don't walk into Big Bad John expecting refinement--but even by dive bar standards, this place…read morefeels less like a throwback and more like it's been left behind. There's no warmth waiting for you here. No charm to soften the edges. Just a small bar, guarded--literally--by a security presence, and a room filled with heavy, worn wooden booths that have seen better decades. Not years--decades. Look up, and you'll find the signature décor: a ceiling crowded with women's undergarments. Bras, mostly. Some scrawled with messages, others just hanging there, collecting time and dust in equal measure. The occasional pair of panties or something more adventurous makes an appearance, but the effect isn't quirky so much as... committed. Committed to a theme that's long overstayed its welcome. Dust is part of the aesthetic here, whether intentional or not. It clings to everything, including those ceiling relics, turning what might once have felt playful into something closer to a time capsule you're not sure should've been opened. And yet--there's life in the room. The ambiance, somehow, is still jovial. People are laughing, drinks are flowing, and there's a certain unspoken agreement among patrons to just go with it. The drinks are surprisingly cheap by Victoria standards, which certainly helps smooth over some of the rougher edges. And then there are the peanuts--toss the shells on the floor, no one's judging. In fact, it's encouraged. It's chaotic, a little grimy, and unapologetically itself. For me, it's a one-and-done. The kind of place you visit once, take in the spectacle, and check the box. But talk to the regulars, and you'll hear a different story. For them, this isn't a relic--it's a ritual. A place that hasn't changed, and that's exactly the point. Whether that's endearing or exhausting probably depends on how much nostalgia you're willing to drink with your beer. Cheers...
