They have snow globes and with spring blossoms out, it's just so pretty! Love that there's grocery store and some fancy stores that entail clothing, kids and furniture stores. Parking is a big plus here, easy to access and usually not stressful, which makes a huge difference when you're shopping . The whole area feels clean, safe, and well-maintained.

Tillicum is different from the Bay Centre as its up in rural/suburban Saanich which makes it unique…read morein my opinion. It has nice moderately priced stores such as Winners, Home Outfitters and Old Navy. It has a Montana's restaurant, library and ice rink as well as a Cineplex. It's a great mall if your looking for essentials at an affordable price. It's also a nice and quiet mall that usually isn't busy. It also has good parking if your to spend the day shopping and the 11 bus makes it very easy for you to reach this mall from any part of Victoria or Oak Bay.

Heck, it's horrible for clothes shopping unless you're a mature woman or trying to go to Winners, (which is a go to spot for me). Tillicum is funny because it's in a little bit of a sketchy area but it's not dangerous nor is it dirty to a point of disgust. I like Tillicum because they have a London Drugs, Lowe's, Starbucks, Winners, Old Navy, Home Outfitters, Dollar Store, banks and cellphone shops etc etc. It's a useful mall when you need the essentials and that's why I rate it at a a solid 4. There is also a Cineplex across the parking lot as well as a library and ice rink. It truly has everything in this one area and I think people take it for granted. Yes, more restaurants and leased space would be ideal as some spaces in the mall are empty and there really is only an A&W and Edo Japan. Great mall if you're looking for the essentials but would love to get some more stores in there that would correspond with the current ones.

I'm not really sure what I was expecting when I visited here. All of the tourist guides say that…read morethis is the place to be, so I was expecting a Pike Place Market - esque place buzzing with people and events, but instead I found a sleepy courtyard with restaurant patrons and not much else. Hmm... I came at dinner time, so it wasn't super late or anything. I walked around the perimeter and there are some cool shops, but ultimately I thought that my expectations vs reality did not match up. Maybe they hold events in the summer when it's warmer? There is a historic drinking fountain at the front to quench the thirst of patrons and horses hauling loads from rural Saanich to Victoria. I didn't want to try it, but the water smelled nice at least? There is also a small demi-lune basin on two sides for dogs if your dog is thirsty. Not sure if I would visit here again unless there was an event or a restaurant I wanted to try.

Market Square was one of the first places I spotted on Google Maps that I knew I wanted to visit,…read morewhenever I would end up finally making the trek to Victoria: an enclosed, hidden marketplace filled with all manner of shops and restaurants, stacked like layers of a cake, with a hollowed interior boasting a public plaza where live music and events are hosted, as well as pop-up vendors, and cordoned-off outdoor dining for Whistle Buoy. It looked like *the* place to visit in Victoria; at least, from a satellite's point of view. Unfortunately, the reality was a little different. We came across Market Square the first time after nightfall on a Saturday, when just about all of the shops were closed; only the aforementioned Whistle Buoy appeared to be open (and was actually bustling, either at or near capacity, even outside in the plaza). I desperately wanted to see Market Square, even if it was just a walkthrough past shuttered windows and locked doors. We spent a few minutes taking in the sights, then headed on to our other destination. The second time we stopped in was the following Sunday morning, after its listed opening time of 11am, only to find that, even though most of the shops were open, there still wasn't a whole lot going on here. It wasn't the packed, buzzing community hub that I had hoped it to be. Perhaps our timing was bad, or things had changed since I first discovered it, or maybe my impression was simply flawed from the beginning, but I still wanted it to be more than it appeared to be. Maybe it was, once. Maybe it still is. Maybe it will be again? For as pontificatingly whiny as this review may sound, I still enjoyed my time at Market Square. Perhaps during our next visit, we'll be able to stick around longer, grab a bite to eat, explore the complex more thoroughly (I am *sure* that there are hidden doors and passages in there, somewhere!), and maybe we'll arrive during a special event that really shows off the magic of this magical masked market, because it deserves it.

Least likely mall store I've seen in recent years; it's just not tacky enough, or even mainstream…read moreenough, to reside in the same Petri dish as American Eagle and The Gap. Though I should note that this mall in general impressed me, and controverted my generally low opinion of malls in general by having a designated parking space or two (perhaps more) for expectant mothers or those with small children and food court fare that did not suck monkey balls. Who knew this could happen? Canada, this mall--combined with fantastic local offerings like Coffee Crisp-- totally makes up for the whole mountie thing. But back to Bellissima. Much of the clothing here is stunning, and ranges from diva attire to the merely gorgeous. Most of it is far from mundane, and it's wildly expensive. Superior materials, like rayon blends with leather edging, super soft and supple leathers, and telltale sartorial flourishes like extra seams and intuitive darts suggest--correctly--that these clothes did not originate on this continent. Most (if not all) of their inventory comes from Italy, and it absolutely lives up to its name. Really hard to not be irresponsible in this store. Truly decadent clothing for the occasional splurge (unless you're loaded, in which case you should just come on down and buy up the whole store).

The items here are the best selection and price for groceries in Victoria. Like 2 dollars cheaper…read morefor lots of items. Though I'll often get produce from Fairway. Most of the staff are extremely friendly. Twice over the last few months I had such extreme positive experiences I was actually surprised (I worked at a Walmart long ago). I decided to write this review as many of the reviews here have troll vibes and seem insincere. Especially people who don't even live here. The one about racism surprised me the most, as few employees are white. I'm part Indigenous and this is one reason I like places like Walmart (I get it, bad corporate) and Fairway. Some places in Victoria especially grocery stores have zero people of colour working. I have never seen that anywhere else in the world. Zero. And I've had far worse customer service at Thrifty Foods at Hillside or Quadra and Cook. Great store.
