Wandering, looking for breakfast. As we walked toward what we thought we were going to have for…read morebreakfast, we passed the Sour Pickle. The smell of breakfast wafting from the restaurant grabbed my sniffer and led us to the front of the store to look at the menu. A Quick Look and we decided to give the pickle a go. Me and the boss decided on the Mexican omelet and a coffee. What a meal. Toast and crisp, delicious hash browns shared the plate with the main attraction, an enormous three egg omelet stuffed with peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, bacon and onions topped with cheese and salsa sauce. The boss had me finish her omelet but by God I finished all mine too.... Thankfully we had a walk back to the hotel to work some of that big breakfast off. Prices are in line with every other place here in Victoria, however this is a local, husband and wife team that make awesome food and seem genuinely happy to be serving their brand of home cooking to the people. I wouldn't hesitate to drop in again when we return and try another menu item, wish we had found you sooner!

Went for broke and splurged on a double ($4 more) and glad I did: smooth and satisfying. Need just one! Dinner: Sockeye filet sandwich on a bun that held its own.

Drank outside and went inside for dinner to stay warm. Great restaurant. Enjoy!

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE Decent food and good service meet good…read moreprices (for downtown Victoria) at Frank's - recommended if you're looking for something quick and low-key when downtown! === 2. FOOD Full Breakfast ($15.99) Three eggs your way, two bacon, two sausage, one ham, two slices of toast, and your choice of hash browns or grilled tomato are included - good for one person or perhaps one person with a lighter appetite sharing with a small child. Western Omelette ($13.49) Ham, bell peppers, and onions mix in with the eggs along with hash browns and two slices of toast - it was decent! Note: toast comes with one packet of jam only - not sure if you can get more and/or peanut butter... Honeybuns ($2.49 each) It's a Chinese-style cocktail bun - it's a little small on the outside, but with plenty of sesame seeds on top. It's typical of what Victoria's Chinatown used to serve commonly 20 years ago. Only have the inside has the coconut topping, which already makes it pretty sweet, the rest is nice, soft doughy goodness. Recommended. They also serve lunch options; a small Chinese buffet of seven or eight items (noodle, rice, and 5-6 entrees) are available - catering to the taste of those looking for Western-oriented Chinese cuisine. === 3. SERVICE Frank is the previous owner; Henry and others now run the joint and he was very friendly. His service and the food was relatively quick. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's cozy, with mirrors on one wall and display cases for food and seating at the window bar style or at tables of 2 or four in the middle. You might be able to bring a big group here, but you'd take up all of the space. It's very clean (windows, mirrors, and all) and relatively bright, so it's welcoming. One could bring wheelchairs and baby strollers but it may be a bit of a squeeze without being near the front door. Parking is limited to whatever you can find on the street (at downtown city rates - which aren't crazy at about $3.75 for an hour).

The location is a convenient inbetween stop if you're visiting the Malahat Skywalk and Hatley Castle. $13CAD/$10USD Smoked Meat Sandwich. If you've never had Canadian Smoked Meat, its "sort of" like pastrami but equally delicious. It was simple sandwich but generously loaded with tasty smoked meat(6-7oz)! It wasn't the same level as Phil's in Quebec City or Schwart's in Montreal, but still good at a great price. The complimentary fresh side of slaw paired nicely. I'm not saying this is the greatest lunch ever, but for only $10 USD this is fantastic value and lunch, especially compared to Seattle/America! I am bit shocked by some of the 1 Star Reviews regarding the owner/operator, because during our visit she was sweet, funny, friendly, and so personable.

Indoor seating was full, but we got a table for 2 right away on the patio. It was awful weather, but the patio is covered and heated, so it was actually fine. My food and drink were really good! I got a strawberry matcha latte and the Mt Doug benny. The matcha was good and the strawberry wasn't too sweet. It came with a little biscotto, which was a treat both to dip in the drink and eat on its own. The benny was delicious - all the toppings went well together and the pesto was great. The latke base was interesting. I liked the latkes but I would probably get the bagel base if I could do it over again for a little less oil. I thought I ordered half salad/half fruit for my side, but I got fruit and potatoes. Didn't feel like sending it back. It was a lot of potato, but the side potatoes were admittedly really good with lots of seasoning. Our waiter was attentive and very friendly. They asked us to move over a table at one point before we even got our food so they could accommodate a bigger group, and it was no big deal for us, but they were nice enough to comp our drinks as thanks.

As part of our stay, we were entitled to a free elite…read morecontinental breakfast, but chose to take the value credit to order other items instead: - Beef Hash: Good. I think it used the same sauce as the Shakshuka, so it has a bit of heat. Potatoes were still crispy. Generous portion size. My only observation was the beef was cubed, when I normally see it shredded - the use of cubes makes it feel more like leftovers. - Crepes: Very good. My daughter devoured them. She's normally a slow eater, but she ate it really quickly, which meant it was very good. Service was nice, but given how quiet it was, the food came out very slow. I would say close to 20 minutes. The restaurant has a giant window panels overlooking the golf course, which is a spectacular view on a sunny morning. It's also a nice, looking restaurant. The final bill was slightly confusing as they add a partial service charge, but it amounted to small percentage that wasn't close to a standard 15-18% tip. I think it was supposed to reflect an inclusive tip that was covered by the free breakfast voucher, but I'm not sure. Just required a little math. Overall, it was better than I had expected. Beautiful space and good food. I would return to the hotel and the restaurant.

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.
