Little Piggy Catering provided an amazing Hawaiian themed BBQ for about 200 people at a work event…read moreI planned this past summer. Christabel was incredibly accommodating and professional during the booking process. We wanted to the event to have a Hawaiian theme, but on a nonprofit budget, we couldn't afford a Pig Roast. Christabel created a menu that fit our budget and our theme. It was full of delicious creative takes on summer BBQ favourites, like a Yam and Potato Salad and Naturally Raised Porchetta Carvey served with Orange Cilantro Mojo. She also was ready with great alternatives for people with dietary restrictions. The onsite staff were friendly, punctual, and super accommodating. We were running a bit late in the program and they were flexible and kept the food piping hot. Thank-you Little Piggy for helping to make our event so memorable. People always laugh louder and smile bigger when their stomachs are happy!

I cherish retail, know times are hard, and wish the manager (owner?) seemed more aware that customer happiness is, kind of, pivotal. She is bitter and prideful - her own worst enemy.

A retail space in the beautiful new Atrium it's bathed in light with high ceilings and almost floor to ceiling glass front windows. With cooking classes, and a full kitchen, this is sure to become a great spot to spend your time. They have a ton of excellent quality kitchen tools, a small but good selection of cook books (unless I maybe missed some?) and a lovely selection of locally produced food items. I chatted with a really friendly girl at the counter about how their new shop was doing and she was excited to tell me about their success and the things they offered. I somehow managed to leave empty handed, but this is a great new addition to the Victoria food scene, and sure to inspire curious cooks to be more creative, better equipped, and very well fed. They are embracing local food, seasonal ingredients, and looking to serve the local food community, which earns them a solid five stars.

Atmosphere and service were great, but the food itself was just average…read more It's tucked away in a quiet corner near UVic, so it can be a little tricky to find the first time. But that's also what makes it a bit of a hidden gem. There's a courtyard and a pond right inside the restaurant. The vibe feels like a lodge nestled in a scenic spot. The servers were nice and attentive. The menu was pretty varied too, going beyond basic burgers and sandwiches to include tacos, poke bowls, etc. Overall it was a pleasant experience, but the food fell short compared to specialty spots. It wasn't bad, just not quite good enough to call delicious either. That said, the plating was very appetizing. A nice spot to eat surrounded by quiet, green forest scenery. Just don't go in expecting specialty-restaurant-level flavor.

I've been to the University Club a few times now for school functions and I absolutely love the…read morelocation. It's nestled into the trees outside of the University's ring road and sat a little bit lower on the hill, so it truly makes it feel like a destination in and of itself. When you look out the windows at the fountain in the middle of the pond, or out at the trees surrounding the building on all sides, it adds a certain degree of mysticism and fantasy to the location. The appetizers that this location provides for functions are absolutely splendid. I believe the caterers are university employees as the quality has kept up every time that I've been. Last time around, the food that stood out the most to me was the prosciutto wrapped asparagus spears, which I had on a fun plate full of other delicious, relatively upscale tasters. This visit, I also had the time to go and get an $8 flight with some wonderful beers in it. I had the Hoyne Dark Matter, a Blue Buck, Category 12 Critical Point, and a Fat Tug IPA. I hadn't tried the Critical Point before this and I thought it was incredible. Altogether, I thought that my combination for the flight was a great balance of lights and darks, from hoppy beers to heavy beers. Later that night, after food, I also enjoyed a glass of Peller Estates' Merlot, which I always enjoy. The inside of the Club has a lovely wood cabin feel, which fits the aesthetic of the environment perfectly. They still manage to dress this venue up, however, by using a mix of crisp tablecloths and exposed wood, complete with a gorgeous zen garden in the middle of the building, with windows looking out towards it. For this reason, the Club is shaped like a ring, with windows looking inside towards the garden, as well as outside towards the trees. Lovely building design, complete with a breathtaking environment and great decoration. I'm looking forward to getting some awesome photos of the University Club next time I'm there on a beautiful blue day so that I can back up my initial description because, after all, a photo IS worth 1000 words. ;)

So I stared at Google Maps and saw this place show up in a few different locations, even on the mainland. I love tacos/burritos, but don't have high expectations when it comes to this part of the U.S., especially when it comes to chains. However, since this Tacofino happened to be near where we were staying, we gave it a shot. Impressed! We were immediately greeted and given time to decide what we wanted without feeling any pressure. The place is bright, but a bit tight with seating. Most people seem to get their stuff to go anyway. We actually ate in our first time. My husband and I ordered three tacos, which came out fresh on a big platter, and they were huge! However, we were not provided with individual plates, so they handed us napkins to separate them out. I think they could improve on a solution for that. The fish taco was my favorite. It was flavorful, the breading was crispy, the meat was substantial. I could probably order this every time, once I've gone through enough of the menu. My husband loved the tuna taco. It was like seared poke, in taco form. The pork taco had great flavor, too, but it didn't wow us as much as the first two. Oh, by the way, the habanero sauce is good but is super spicy... even for people who can handle some spice. Also, I brain farted and asked for the "Valentina" salsa... thinking it was something house made. Nope, it was just packets of the same hot sauce you can buy at the store, so keep that in mind! We came another time and had other tacos, this time to go. I wasn't happy with how they PACKED two giant tacos into a tiny container, so it was really hard to tell them apart and split them up. Anyway, they were pretty good but didn't compare to the first two. From best to worst: Pork belly (it was a special), crispy chicken, pork gringa. So, the tacos were great. I don't know if I'd call them authentic but I don't care- the taste, and the portion, is what stands out. If I'm ever back on the island, I want to try their other proteins, and definitely a burrito.

I would totally return and recommend this place; you won't be disappointed, it's excellent!
