Really nice experience at Mary's Bleue Moon Cafe. We went for dinner with friends and we really enjoyed the food and the ambiance. The portions were huge, the food was delicious, and the service was top notch. We will definitely be back. If you go on Saturday you must try the Ribs, (full rack $22, half rack $16 and they come with fries and coleslaw, scrumptious. read more

It's OK Service was a tad slow, albeit friendly. Not sure why this was the case. Food was all in all OK. The mac and cheese bites appy tasted like deep fried KD. That's about my only negative comment about the food. Casual ambience, with outdoor patio seating. Live music available on certain days and it's a bit loud in a smaller space. Thank goodness I was outside. read more

We needed to find a place on our way up to the Ferry terminal at Swartz Bay. We ended up here after seeing pretty decent reviews. All of the food we had was pretty good. The kid's menu portions were huge. A really large burger, fries, and a pudding cup for dessert. Service was good as well. read more

Good service, always busy and food is delicious, hits the mark in portion size and flavor. Seafood is good and so are the more eclectic dishes. read more

Service is excellent and great atmosphere. BUT, the kids meal burger comes plain. We asked for mayo and we're up charged 1.25. Ordered 2 piece fish and asked for tartar as 1 wasn't enough for 2 pieces. Again upcharged 1.25 each. Disappointing to be buckled and dimed on a bill for 6 people. read more

What an amazing place! The food, the menu the service, and the location were awesome. I had a hard time selecting what to order. The choices were all incredible, and they had so many great choices. I had the chef's Soup of the Day, cauliflower, cheese. and broccoli and a Reuben sandwich. They were delicious. My sister had the same soup with ham and cheese sliders. She loved hers also. If you are looking for a place to eat in Sidney, BC, stop here.It is on the way before or after the airport. read more

Salad and burgers average. Only ate there once so maybe just didn't get the best menu option. Service could use some improvement. read more

The place is cozy, employees kind, helpful and respectful, food is awesome!! Love to look at aviation and Sidney history!!

Awesome first meal on Vancouver Island. Had the soups and sandwich special. Will definitely return.

This restaurant is in the middle of nowhere in a cute homey unit . . It's like the neighborhood pub with live music! The food and service were amazing!!! We had the seafood quesadilla and quiche. . My in laws had the Reuben and seafood chowder . . All were delicious!! All the patrons seem to be regulars as they were a lot of hugs and kisses as they left. . Such a homey feel!! Our only recommendation is more toppings on he nachos . . A lot of chips but not enough to dip! Other than that it was a wonderful experience!!! read more

Its a Sidney Institution thats been here since the 1930s. A good solid menu of favourites. Don't be fooled by the frontage , there is lots of room inside. A good place to stop for a meal or just a cool one before flying or after landing. read more

The food is amazing, unfortunately we went on a Monday. The server we had only works 1 day a week and a total train wreck. If you wanted service from her you had to ask someone else to get her. She did not have many tables to begin with so service should have been better. We enjoy going to Mary's, but now I would prefer to spend my money on restaurants with trained staff. I know this sounds tough, but that night made our top 5 disappointing experiences. Love the restaurant not this server. read more

I saw someone give a 1 star review because they couldn't find parking so they didn't even eat at the restaurant which is absurd, how is that the restaurant's problem? And you didn't even enter the establishment so I'm giving a 5 star to try and bump the overall rating up. Food and service is great, I've been coming here with my family before I head to the ferries. I really enjoyed coming here in the summer when they played live music. The waffle fries are the best! read more

My boys took me out to a great spot to eat while I was visiting them in Victoria, BC. The building resembles a small cottage and it is located just east of the airport on Canora Rd in Sidney, BC. We got a table at the back of the restaurant right away. There was one cheery waitress taking care of all the tables. She was so friendly and happy and very quick to serve us. We put in our drink orders and looked at the menu. The boys all decided to try the fish and chip special and I ordered the Reuben on rye. The portions were nice and big. The fish and chips came with a side of tasty coleslaw, a lemon wedge and some tartar sauce. The Reuben came on a dark rye and was filled with Montreal smoked meat, sauerkraut and cheese. It was delicious! The walls of the restaurant are filled with newspaper stories, photos of wartime pilots and their crew. Back in the day when this place opened it was within walking distance from the Air Force base around Pat Bay. There is a daily special throughout the week. There is live entertainment Saturday nights. Can't wait to go back on my next visit. read more

So we've been a customer for many years, and tonight I can honestly say we had the worst service you can imagine. We had a reservation for 5:15, ordered our food 20min later, and an hour and 45 min later we received our meals. Lots of excuses and a 10% discount at the end, but the fact still remains, our family gathering was ruined. Quite likely won't be back. read more

I go here regularly. Its a very comfortable and interesting place. For dinner, I have really enjoyed their Classic Burger and fries. The fries are better than the ones you usually get. Also, their Coconut Lime Curry (with added shrimp) is great. I also love their breakfasts. Great bacon! and really good portions. Not the paper thin bacon, either. And their coffee's good too. Fair prices, really friendly staff. As I said, a really comfortable place to go. read more

Amazing food, very afordable. Hands down the best seafood we had on the Island!

We were looking for some good place to have diner and we had the look of finding this place. We asked Spring Rolls, the special Salmon with pesto sauce and New York Steak Sandwich. The Spring Rolls were outstanding, crispy, sweet and savory. Salmon and Sandwich was very good. This place in on our list for Friday`s diner. read more

Great find. We went for breakfast but it's certainly on our list for lunch or dinner. Generous portions and great service.!

Comfort food on the Peninsula . . . . It's been here "forever", and consistently delivers a large menu of appys, sandwiches and entrees. I had the lasagna and salad last Tuesday, as it was $3 off any pasta dish night. So for just over $11 I got a large bake dish of lasagna, loaded with cheese, and chose a side salad with balsamic and oil. Came with garlic toast. Good value; It was delicious and hearty. The only thing I would change is more tomato sauce and less fennel seed. But, not that I needed the change. My partners who chose the halibut and chips enjoyed them, but Ron said the fish was dry. I tasted the fries and they were fresh fried, crisp. Over the years it's been a great choice for breakfast, lunch or dinner, you know what to expect by the extensive menu, and the service is friendly and attentive. Portions are always generous. Nice atmosphere, and interesting aviation history in photos and models. I'll be back again. Note, there is a 2 for 1 coupon in the Entertainment Book, worth $10. Thanks Mary's! read more

Every thing here is as homemade. The food is Superb. The wait staff are friendly, attentive and efficient. I eat here with family and friends as often as I am able. read more

I have been to Mary's many times but this review is based only on my last visit as it had been about 8 years. I always thought that I could count on this place for a reliably tasty meal and an overall good experience. Until now.... We went for a late lunch in the fall. There was maybe 3 other tables so we expected fast service..... Or not. We got water and menus quickly and then we waited. And waited and waited. It was over 20 minutes before we were able to place our order. Though the food came out in an average amount of time, half of it was ice cold. I had an oyster burger with fries and the oysters used were VERY strong. Strong to the point that they were mostly inedible (and I have been eating oysters since I was a young child and know what they should taste like). The fries had no warmth left at all. I would have mentioned it had anyone come to ask how we were doing. Hopefully it was an off day because I would like to go Again when I am in the area. read more

Great atmosphere Good food! The owner is a kick. Highly recommend this place read more

Good comfort food. Good service. Definitely coming back next time I am in the area. Great history too

My wife, sister and I were on doing a day trip from Vancouver to Victoria Island and while on the ferry to the Island a guy in the row in front of us recommended we try Mary's Blue Moon. He said that it would not look like much outside, but that we would love the food and atmosphere. He was absolutely right on the food and atmosphere, but we think that he was overly critical of the exterior, it looked like many other small town diners. As for the food, everything from start to finish was outstanding. I had sausage and eggs, both were farm fresh and delicious. My sister had eggs and bacon, my wife a scramble and both praised how great they tasted. We all had multigrain toast and marmalade that were clearly fresh from the bakery that morning. But the food was not the greatest joy of Mary's Bleue Moon, our server Daniel was a treasure. He told us that he had worked there for 25 years because he loved the place and the work and it definitely showed. His sense of humor was delightful and his advice on the food was perfect (by the way...if you truly love hollandaise...stay away from the Eggs Benedict). He quizzed us on what we hoped to see in on the Island and shared with us what was worthwhile and what to avoid. As we were leaving, he came out to the parking lot with us to show us a more scenic route to Victoria. All his advice on the Island was as impeccable as that on the food. This place and Daniel is a treasure for Sidney, a little off the beaten path but worth finding. I don't know when we will be returning to Victoria Island, possibly never, but if we do, I know where we will have breakfast again. read more

The food is always amazing, never had a bad experience here! Everyone is super nice and welcoming!

Such nice service. The food was great and quite the selection. It is in an odd location and parking is tight but you can park across the street. Clean and cozy! read more

Mary's is often over looked as it is off the beaten track. The food there is always stellar. You are warmly greeted and welcomed. My friend and I both enjoyed the Mediterranean Chicken wrap ($13.59) for lunch with fries. The food was promptly served and fries piping hot. Our waitress was a lot of fun - great sense of humor and suggestions on our lunch. Dessert was an amazing caramel pecan pie ($5.50) that was warmed with REAL whip cream. Mary's fills up quickly so always check for a reservation if you want to be guaranteed a spot. We sat out on the indoor covered deck area which is always nice. I have been to Mary's before and loved it and will continue to visit this local Peninsula gem. read more

We went here on a Wednesday when they have pub specials; excellent English food, great beer and friendly service. If you are here on a trip and don't know where to eat check this place out you won't be disappointed. read more

Great little hidden gem. Place was packed with a lot of old timers. The gentleman next to us said there was a reunion of retired Air Canada pilots. Food was great homemade. Great service. read more

Phenomenal service! Awesome food! Homey environment! Wicked family spot! Great gluten free options! Will definitely recommend and return here! read more

Great service and BEST GLUTEN FREE FOOD I'VE EVER HAD...and I've been diagnosed a celiac for six years now. Definitely recommend.

Sidney has an abundance of good places to eat so we went to Mary's expecting it to be really, no better, no worse than all the other good ones and were not disappointed. We had a very minor, at least minor to us, server issue that did not detract from the overall good experience but did prevent me from giving it five stars right away. An email and immediate response from Nicola outlining a great plan of action was good enough for me. Price...5 Quality...5 Atmosphere...5 Service...5 but qualified They have so many items to try, I will be going back. Soon!!! read more

The menu looked very appealing, so we decided to take a trip from the Highlands out to Sidney, only to find that there was no parking..so, we returned home. Will not do a repeat trip when we can eat more locally. read more

We love going to Mary's, it have a great atmosphere! the staff are great , the food is always tasty and inexpensive. It has a great kids menu too. They have specials everyday, one being fish and chips for $10! I would recommend this place to my friends read more

Stumbled upon this unique and historic landmark in Sidney for a group lunch. Great wide ranging menu with many gluten free options. Super friendly staff and you could spend the day looking over the aviation and WWII decor and artifacts. So happy we stopped here today! It's been around for a long time, I'm sure Mary would be proud! read more

Super impressed. This place was friendly and tasty! And very gluten-free friendly. The salmon burger was amazing. I will be back.

If you are tired, hungry and newly arrived in town, this is the place for you. My daughter and I were welcomed by friendly, cheerful staff who were helpful but not overbearing. I had the best New England clam chowder I've had in years. My daughter, normally a picky eater, enjoyed the pasta. We will definitely go back before leaving for home, read more
