Garden Benny is a delicious spin on eggs benny. The kale and caramelized onions were perfectly paired with the basil arugula pesto. Highly recommend. Hot chocolate was a good balance between sweet and chocolate.

I went with a group of friends to eat breakfast at The Village and this was my first time going. We got a table in their heated patio which was really pleasant. I ordered the cinnamon swirl pancakes which was a seasonal special. I loved the fruit selection, it was so unique to other restaurants. Originally I was afraid that these pancakes were going to be too sweet but I was pleasantly surprised with the taste! It was the perfect amount of sweetness! I would definitely return again.

Wonderful attentive service; our server Hailesha made our 21st bday celebration just right ✅️! The food was delicious 😋- everyone loved it. Now you know what the line ups are all about. So worth it! ❤️

A wonderful brunch spot that offers the best morning food in the area! Both of the Benny dishes we ordered were amazing and had a unique spin - they are served with Latkes as the base. Basically, a potato pancake/fritter in lieu of a traditional English muffin. A really nice touch that brings a somewhat fresh spin to the traditional Benny. Eggs, bacon and potatoes were all cooked to perfection, and seasoned delightfully. Add bottomless drip coffee and very friendly service to the mix and this place definitely makes the charts for best restaurants in the area!

Wonderful food and wonderful service from Yulia. Yulia took her time to visit with us and made sure we were taken well care of. We were all happy with our food, especially the eggs benedicts. The eggs were perfectly poached, with a runny yoke and very little white - which is how I prefer my eggs. If you would like nontraditional eggs Benedict, this is the place. They serve them on latkes (potato pancake, bagel, or over vegetables) We left fully and very happy

Definitely some solid breakfast and I really enjoyed my visit! There menu is massive. The egg Benny’s come in many different flavours and sides which makes them all unique. Had an excellent latte as well. The thing that made my experience memorable was the service. My waiter was extremely friendly and went out of their way to have conversations. The place it’s self is very cozy! Outside the building there is a seating area with heaters, giving people the opportunity to eat with the breeze of fresh air. I loved everything about this place! Price is on the higher side, but the experience and the tasty food is more than worth it. Taste: Good Presentation: Excellent Service: Excellent Uniqueness: Excellent Atmosphere: Excellent

Good food, horrible service! We finished our breakfast and paid, were just sityin atthe table and chatting. A staff member (an Eastern European girl) approached and asked us to leave so we empty the table! I was shocked, because have never met anything like that. They weren t super busy, no line outside or something like that. That was just rude. I usually go to their Estevan spot and today decided just to try Shelbourne one. Never again.

It was my second time that I had brunch at Village. I dont understand why people are going to place that they dont know how to make poached eggs when they say its a brunch restaurant! The portion of the food was so little ( even for me that I am on a diet) I ordered Italian benny , just 3 strips of portobello mushrooms on a very tiny potato pancake. The taste was also awful. Doesnt even deserve a one star !

Had the bacon jammer, served with cold potatoes, ended up with food poisoning symptoms, diarrhea etc. watch yourself. Owner stated on phone call that they dont feel responsible/liable. As they dont see how it could come from what i ate??? Really? Admitted that things can go wrong serving 150 peope a day. when i pressed on the cold potatoes. Potatoes are prepared Wednesday s as per owner. My meal was friday morning. Will contact island health tomorrow.

★★★★★
December 23, 2023

Great food, very friendly and outgoing servers (they remember return customers very well too), and reasonable prices for the quantity and quality of food. Just note that if you are in a rush you need to make sure you give yourself enough time to wait for a table because it is not a very big place and there is often a waitlist to get in (usually no more than 20-30 minutes though). Parking: Usually there is space in the parking lot, but there are also several residential spots nearby and a parking lot in the grocery store across the street in a pinch Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs and the doorway is wide enough to allow entry for a wheelchair, so accessibility shouldnt be an issue

Pros: Good atmosphere, good location near the beach, nice fresh produce, large menu, generous portions and a large choice of specials as well (something for everyone!), would cook eggs and meat to your preference, offered condiments etc. and lots of coffee. Reasonable prices, not a bad spot for brunch with local cuisine! Cons: Took a long time to bring out the orders. By far most rapid part of the service was getting us to pay the bill and encouraging us to leave. Had to ask for milk twice for coffee before it was brought over by a server. Food was okay when it came, but a little greasy for my personal taste - mushrooms and kale were both dripping in fat. Would like the menu to be more vegan/vegetarian friendly with more plant-based choices. Braised kale appeared to have cheese/parmesan in which was not indicated on menu.

This place is a hidden gem. Amazing service, like I mean AMAZING. The food was fresh and delicious. The latkes were very good. The best part ask for the hot sauce, it s fresh made and delish. I bought a bottle to take home. Highly highly recommend this place and location.

December 23, 2022

Met some friends for brunch, arrived a few minutes after them, their food was already served which was fine. But the waitress brought my bill right after my order was put in, wasnt even curious if I wanted to order more stuff later or after, before my meal even arrived all my friends were being kicked out for being on the table for so long already and they needed to make room for other customers. In my humble opinion, you dont kick out paying customers, they were willing to wait for me to eat before leaving as well. Rushed service, very few options, good thing I didnt stick around for it... Would not recommend if this place was the last restaurant in Victoria.

★★★★★
December 23, 2022

The food is absolutely delicious (and you can get soup for breakfast can there be anything better?!), the portions are generous, the prices are affordable, but the best part is the service.

I loved the ambiance of this restaurant. First off COVID props to this place. A big patio outside, good distance between each table. They didnt take down personal information but I saw them sanitizing menus which was a big plus for me. The servers were really nice and attentive. The food came fast and the portions were not bad. The latte was not bad but the biscuit that came with it was mediocre. We ordered the latkes, traditional eggs Benedict on a bagel with tomato parmesan soup, lox bagel and Reuben with potatoes. The latkes came with a side is fruit, sour cream and apple sauce. I love latkes and these were not bad but not the best either. I like my latkes crispier and with more potato shred texture instead of totally blitzed. But thats just a personal preference. These latkes went so well with the sour cream. Side note, I really appreciate the different variety of fruit on the side. There was pineapple, kiwi, grape, watermelon and orange. So much variety! The traditional eggs Benedict on a bagel with a side of soup. I didnt have the soup but I heard it was delicious. The bagel was quite chewy which I liked but it was difficult to cut with a knife. The egg was nicely cooked. I just wish there was more hollandaise sauce. I appreciated the amount of Canadian bacon on the bagel. It wasnt one slice but like multiple slices. Lox bagel - I didnt try it but I heard it was not bad and there was quite a bit of salmon on top. Reuben - it was okay. Not too salty but not the reuben I was personally looking for. Nothing memorable. Wouldnt order it again. BUT, the side of potatoes was delicious. Perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Would I come back? If I was in Victoria and was looking for a brunch where I didnt need to line up. Yes. If Im looking for something to blow my socks off then no. BUT I would want to come back and try their strawberry pancakes, because they looked amazing! TIP: order potatoes as the side dish

Whether you are vegan or keto or anything in between, everyone here is more than happy to make suggestions and be excited about providing the best meal possible for you. After only a few times they had remembered me and what I like to eat and now it s one of my most frequented regular spots. Everything is so fresh, and the atmosphere is bright with beautiful plants and lots of nice wood interiors. A cozy yet modern nook. Highly recommend!

I ve only been going to this place for a matter of months, but after my first visit The Village has become a very quick favourite! All the servers are wonderful and the food comes in reasonable proportions - not to mention very tasty with healthy options! Absolutely love their espresso bar too, wonderful lattes! Keep up the great work!

Lovely little nook tucked away at the back of the mini mall. Needed to kill time in the area and was welcomed quickly and sat right away and my coffee was always warm and my food was yummy. No vegan options per say so needed to get creative but nice staff and welcoming chill atmosphere.

If you are looking for a delicious breakfast prepared in an ethical manner with locally sourced product this is the spot. Be prepared for a bit of a wait though as it is alway busy on weekends.

The service is exceptional: very friendly people work here, professional and worm with clients. The food is good, but a little on the expensive side and tables are not big enough to allow people to eat without fighting for the space, especially when you have kids. Weekend are probably the worst time to really enjoy this place, I will try again by myself on a week day.

Great menu, when possible items locally sourced. Open early and they take reservations. First time at Shelbourne location but have been to Royal Oak often and its just as good.

Absolutely delicious!! You cant go wrong with the potato latkes, theyre amazing. I just docked a star because this location isnt as cozy as the Estevan location, I love the art and pictures they have up there. Other than that super minor detail, its great! Staff are wonderful.

Awesome breakfast , awesome service. You have to time your visit due to popularity. Great little patio for summer and light fall brunches. Latkes are the best!

As a professional cook, Im pretty finicky about quality of food and service. Everything I have eaten here has been between great, and exceptional. Service staff is always on point, friendly, and very efficient. Well done.

We have enjoyed The Villages breakfasts many times, as recently as November 4th. The quality of their breakfasts is exceptional, making it one of the best breakfast spots in Victoria at reasonable prices. The service staff are friendly and attentive.The Village locally sources much of their food. Indoor seating is limited, but the restaurant offers a heated outdoor patio. The village is popular and so reservations are recommended.

Good food and great service. Definitely pricey and the menu is not huge but I think thats just fine. Focus on whats good, right. I would give 5 stars but I thought the meals were over priced. Probably Im cheap but $15 plus for a lunch sandwich is outside of my budgetary expectation for a quick lunch.

Excellent food, reasonable prices, and friendly staff. My only complaint is it is maybe a little bit cramped, but other than that I had a fantastic experience. Would definitely eat here again.
