Another amazing meal at Nourish

Apr 2021 • none

I went to Nourish this past weekend to pick up a few things but ended up getting hungry so I stayed to eat out in their garden. The level of service I always get at Nourish cannot be beaten. Everyone was so friendly, efficient and they go the extra mile to make sure that their customers had a nice meal. I bought some provisions (seedy bread, cashew cheese, salad dressing, and hummus) and ordered the tartine and lentil salad. Everything was delicious. I accidentally knocked over my tea and was so embarrassed but they brought me a new one and a towel too. Very kind of them. When I was about to leave they brought over a slice of cashew cheesecake to go as it was my birthday. It was incredibly thoughtful of them and unnecessary... they definitely went the extra mile to make sure that I had a nice time there. If there was a rating above excellent, I would have chosen it for this visit. I know that restaurants are having a tough go of it lately due to the pandemic and with indoor dining being close. If you can support this business, please do so. Their food is so incredible and the staff work hard. I drive from Langford almost every weekend to buy Nourish goodies and, believe me, it's absolutely worth it.

Amazing breakfast spot!

May 2022 • none

My wife had eaten here for breakfast on the first day of our trip and recommended that we try going again after I joined her in Victoria for the weekend. We arrived 15 minutes before opening and were fifth in line for a table. The host came down to the line to acquire numbers for each sitting and then staged entry into the restaurant to ensure customer flow with the wait staff and kitchen (well thought out), as well as in terms of spacing tables appropriately. Our waitress was awesome. Our beverages were very unique, with an incredible head of foam and lots of flavor from unique spices. Our mains were delicious and again fairly unique, with middle eastern/south Asian spicing in the sausages and sauces. My wife had the tartine, I had the Half and Half (single eggs Benedict and their oat pancake), and my son had the oat pancakes. Unique pancakes - truly a "pan cake" cooked on a cookie sheet then cut up for plating. Delicious. Breakfast was on the more expensive end of the spectrum, well worth it.

Favourite Secret Spot

Jan 2020 • none

I love all things Nourish. It's a fantastic place to meet a friend for brunch/lunch or just hunker down with a book or laptop and a cup of something magical from their bar. I describe it as crunchy to my out of town friends, but the Benny style dishes always win them over. When I want comfort food, the Sleeping Beauty Pancakes always win.

Unprofessional

Mar 2020 • solo

Nourish is one of my favourite places to eat, I’ve been with friends, shared with family and have always had good things to say about food, service and atmosphere. On their Instagram they ensured the dinning room is open and bone broth can be picked up at any time, upon arrival I was told to read a sign outside and then could choose whether I would like to dine in or take out. The man then left for 10 minutes came back and turned everyone away, a lady beside me explained she had been waiting longer then me to simply purchase a tote bag. I asked the man to use the washroom and he said “one moment” went back inside and that’s when I decided to leave and dine somewhere else. I understand the extra percussions to keep everyone safe and healthy but to be professional don’t go back on your word and social media posts, keep people informed.

Overpriced underwhelming

Jul 2021 • couples

Sadly a nice old building turned into a trendy cafe. Menu is way overpriced $60 for two drinks and some form of pancakes (ask before you buy) and then don’t go when you’re really hungry as you’ll have a very long wait. If you have the time and money and you love the trendy stuff enjoy it

Great if you don’t like options

Nov 2021 • family

My family and I went for brunch at Nourish. We live nearby and have eaten at the restaurant several times over the years. We usually have a good experience although the wait is very long on weekends, often up to an hour. On our most recent visit, we realized the menu had changed and there weren’t many options. One of my family members asked to order scrambled eggs but she was told that the only way they could make her eggs was if it was poached. She doesn’t like poached eggs so she decided to order the stew. Then the stew was sold out. Eventually she settled on soup. When the soup arrived, it was barely lukewarm and we had to send it back. The server did give us her meal on the house, but overall, it was a disappointing experience. If you already have such a limited menu, you should probably make enough to not run out well before closing time. And not everyone likes poached eggs. As a breakfast establishment, it might be a good idea to offer eggs served more than one way.

Remarkable, fresh and tasty

Feb 2023 • none

I was speaking in Victoria and took an extra day to just enjoy the city with my wife. Slept in and wanted something other than hotel food for breakfast or lunch and had driven by Nourish and were interested after checking it out online. We are very happy that we did. In an old two story house, the entrance was very homey and we were greeted and seated by the window. The menu was really great. All items were vegetarian but all had options to add meat and other sources of protein as well. We had a cup of soup, a Tartine and Golden Benny and they were fresh, different but familiar. Loved the 'new' way they created food with fresh ingredients that were all healthy, whole food. Even their tea and coffee concoctions were inventive, tasty and delicious. The place also supports the community and you can take some of the food items away in larger portions to enjoy in your home. Really, really liked this place

Disappointing

Feb 2024 • friends

Overpriced Great location Disappointed Served seeded hard crusted piece of WAFER SOMETHING or other that’s supposedly HEALTHY with eggs instead of toast. Seriously, I would like to make that decision …thank you, …..If I had wanted to break a tooth I’d have had a mentos. Will never go back.

Change of ownership brought down quality.

Apr 2023 • friends

Unfortunately Nourish seems to have swapped ownership and in return the quality of pretty much everything has diminished. The locally sourced greens, meals in general have decreased in quantity and quality. It's very sad as this used to be my favourite restaurant. Not sure if I'll be returning.. sad.

Take out seemed like an inconvenience

Feb 2024 • couples

We stopped by this cafe to grab a couple coffees on the go and while the coffees themselves were delicious. My husband had a drip coffee and I had a vanilla latte (made with vanilla extract and maple syrup) were delicious. They were quite expensive and service wise, I felt like they were annoyed to have to make to go coffees. The vibe in the restaurant side seemed funky as it was quite busy and this might have just been a one off but I wouldn’t go back there for a “on the go” coffee again.

Great reviews for a reason

Sep 2023 • couples

A quiet street corner hides this wonderful cosy venue for a first class breakfast - make sure you're hungry and get there as soon as it opens. We were able to sit outside in the cool morning sunshine and enjoyed pancakes and lattes with homemade twists. So delicious!

Yummy Feel Good Food

Feb 2022 • family

First time in a vegatarian/vegan restaurant and we were happily surprised by the delicious offerings - especially the breakfasts. I had the Golden Benny and it was really great. My husband had the Sleeping Beauty oatmeal pancakes and loved them (he is often resistant to meatless meals). Will definitely return next time we’re in Victoria!

Best Vegetarian Spot

Apr 2022 • none

Their philosophy of holistic cooking, inspiration from nature and nourishing bodies/lives, shines through in their presentation and delectable dishes. Vegetables are prepped to perfection and the natural flavors burst on your palate. Succinct, tasty menu at affordable prices in a peaceful abode. We ate a Golden Benny and a Tasting Adventure Platter for One; lovely presentation and so very tasty. This is how to eat!

Healthy fresh breakfast

Mar 2022 • family

Food was very good- nice vegetarian choices for breakfast, lots of vegetables and good flavours. Many dishes seemed to have nuts which could be limiting for those with allergies. The staff were not overly friendly though service didn’t take long. There was seating both indoors and outside.

Just what the Doctor ordered

Jun 2024 • couples

We’re Brits away for 5 weeks vacation in Washington, Alaska and British Columbia. Arrived in Victoria last night and were craving some healthy food with plenty of greens and no French fries. Saw this restaurant was close to our hotel and seemed to hit the bill. It certainly did. 3 delicious courses, with sparkling wine plus tip for Emily for £104 (U.K. Sterling). Excellent food, ‘just right’ quantities rather than the ridiculous portions in USA. Strongly recommend - remember only open for breakfast/brunch in morning and evening meals from 5-9 pm.
