A very popular bakery in downtown Victoria, and it's easy to see why. We stopped by for pastries…read moreand coffee. The shop itself is quite small, with only couple seats along the wall. Everything in the display case looked delicious, but we decided on the lychee raspberry & rosewater pastry, the pistachio ganash tart and the pork & fennel sausage roll. The pistachio tart was fresh with a rich nutty flavor, though it took a little finesse to eat because the filling kept wanting to spill out. My favorite was the lychee raspberry & rosewater pastry. It was flaky, with a delicate sweetness from the fruits and a subtle floral note from the rosewater. You can really taste the dedication in these pastries. I'd recommend going early in the day as many of their items tend to sell out quick.

We bought a cake here for my mom's 70th birthday and were so impressed! We chose the "Crusty…read moreForest"--their take on a Black Forest cake--and it was absolutely delectable. What we loved most was that it wasn't overly sweet. It had a wonderful, strong fruit component from the cherries that balanced perfectly with the chocolate and a light, thin layer of whipped cream. The cake itself was incredibly moist and executed with such care. It was a total hit for the celebration! I only wish we lived in Victoria so this could become our regular go-to spot for special occasion cakes.

This bakery is a gem and a definite must-visit if you are Gluten Free!…read moreWe are so used to skipping breads and desserts on trips, and it felt fun and indulgent to be able to eat anything in the bakery--and I wish we could have tried everything! Over the course of two visits, we had the sourdough (white and whole grain), a ginger chocolate cookie, a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie, an eclair, a baguette, a baguette sandwich, and a carrot cupcake. Everything was great, but we thought the breads were a bit tastier than the sweet baked goods, which was interesting because the opposite is often true in GF baking. Our favorites were the sourdough, the baguette (and sandwich), and the ginger cookie. We brought the sandwich and eclair down to clover park beach--perfect little bite to have on the shore! Everyone was super sweet and helpful as well. Highly recommend!

If we ever get to visit Victoria again we will DEFINITELY make time to come here.

After…read morenearly every dish, we found ourselves looking at each other saying, "Wow... oh my God, that's amazing." The pork belly bao is generously sized and easily shareable. The bun was incredibly fresh, light, and pillowy, while the pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth tender with the perfect balance of richness and tang from the kimchi. The pickled vegetables added a bright crunch that tasted incredibly fresh. We started with the salmon tartare, and it was phenomenal! Rich, buttery, bursting with flavor, and so good we were literally fighting over the last bite. And the scallop? Order one for each person. Seriously. It's far too delicious to share. It had just the right amount of heat, leaving the perfect lingering warmth that immediately made us want another. Do yourself a favor and give yourself enough time to work your way through the menu, because every dish we tried was outstanding. Each plate was thoughtfully curated, beautifully executed, and cooked to perfection. I like to call it the C³ trifecta: curated, created, and cooked. Without question, this is some of the best food we've had in a very long time. We can't wait to come back (when visiting) and continue eating our way through the rest of the menu.

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.

The sausage was also very juicy and tasted yummy. We also got the honey rooibos vanilla latte and sweet and salty latte. And both drinks were great!! I also had a carrot muffin to go and it was moist and very tasty! Soo charming when you are in the area!

After spending several days at a rejuvenating yoga retreat, the last thing my friend and I wanted…read morewas a heavy meal. Meat wasn't even on our radar--we were craving something fresh, nourishing, and full of flavor. After checking into our hotel, we headed out on a walk to explore Victoria. Well...our "little stroll" turned into quite the adventure and ended with us catching a ferry taxi back. And here I thought Las Vegas was the city of walking! Still in search of the perfect healthy dinner, we asked the front desk for a recommendation. Without hesitation, she suggested Be Love, mentioning its incredible vegan menu and abundance of gluten-free-friendly options. It sounded exactly like what we were looking for. From the moment we walked in, we loved the atmosphere. The restaurant was bright, clean, welcoming, and had a fun, upbeat energy that made us feel right at home. We started with a couple of refreshing drinks and shared the mezze platter, which was the perfect way to ease into the meal with a variety of fresh, vibrant flavors. Then came the stacked tacos...and apparently our hunger had reached DEFCON 1 because I completely forgot to take a picture before we devoured them! If you've ever looked at your empty plate and thought, "Oops...I guess that was photo-worthy," you'll understand. Fortunately, I remembered dessert. We took home the chocolate caramel brownies and a protein cookie to enjoy later. The protein cookie was good, but those chocolate caramel brownies absolutely stole the show. Rich, decadent, perfectly balanced, and dangerously delicious--I would happily make a return trip just for those alone. Whether you're vegan, gluten-free, or simply someone who appreciates creative, flavorful food made with quality ingredients, Be Love is absolutely worth a visit. It was the perfect ending to a peaceful yoga retreat, and I'd gladly return the next time I'm in Victoria.

I'm so glad we did, because the duck risotto has sold out the night before, and it was possibly the best duck I've had in my life. My wife is vegetarian and she had great options for both nights as well. Our servers were fun and attentive, and the restaurant is located right downtown in a great area. The only negative was on our first night. There was quite a windstorm going on, and the front windows, which open out in good weather, were slightly drafty. However, the quality of the service and the food completely cancelled out that minor annoyance.

We tried several rolls, and the Chubby Daddy was definitely the standout. It had a great balance of flavors and was easily our favorite. The Lucky Strike Roll was also very good- I think it would be a fantastic introduction to sushi for someone who's new to it or a little hesitant, since the smoked salmon flavor is approachable and familiar. The tempura avocado wasn't quite for us, as it was a bit too mushy, but that's more of a personal preference than a criticism of the dish. We also ordered another roll to share, but it wasn't particularly memorable compared to the others. Overall, the fish tasted fresh and was clearly high quality. Combined with the excellent service and a beautiful patio that's perfect for summer dining, we'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.
