We loved going into Oak Bay and feeling like we werent tourists for the night. It is an intimate restaurant lovingly run with people who care about the food and the experience of the diner. The meal was imaginative and very tasty and gave us an insight to the quality of life for a victorian suburb. off the beaten track... More

This is a wonderful little bistro in Oak Bay - only 10 minutes from downtown but so worth the short trip. The food is always creative and excellent and a new wine list brings more choices and diversity at reasonable cost. Last year they celebrated their 15 anniversary - there are many reasons for their longevity.

Blighty's Bistro has been a local institution for some 18 years and once again they did not disappoint! When the 11 of us showed up, owner and host Richelle warmly welcomed us. With two of our friends restricted... More

I can't say there are a lot of restaurants in Victoria to rave about, but this would certainly be one of the few. Tasty food in a cozy atmosphere, and the staff are really friendly. I enjoy some of the wines I've had there too. The menu is often interesting and always tasty!

This is a great gem at the Oak Bay border. Food is consistently good and Richelle and the staff make the service entertaining while still effectively getting the job done. If, by the end of your meal, no adjacent table has celebrated a birthday, mention that someone at your table is celebrating a birthday that day (or week ... or... More
