Blue Fox Cafe in Victoria

Really good brunch and breakfasts foods! Almost always a wait so you know they are good!

Food is really good !

EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING! service, food and atmosphere were top notch! Best eggs Benny I have ever had. Their fancy coffees, egg nogs and mocha drinks are so yummy. All the servers and our server Abbie were awesome! Will be back again very soon!

Been going here for years, it s a tradition for myself and my partner to visit Blue Fox every trip we take to Victoria! Highly recommend, be sure to come early as there is often a lineup. Eggs benny is incredible, very cute aesthetics!

get ready to wait in the lineup for a really long time. but it was worth it. once we got inside, we ended up getting an omelet with some hot sauce on the side. we really love the hot sauce so we ended up buying a bottle from them! need to get a refill ha ha

Pretty delicious breakfast! Queued on a normal Day ifs huge big portion

My favorite brunch in Victoria absolutely recommend this place just came with time always there are a line

My first visit to the Blue Fox. Ordered the Moroccan Chicken sandwich which was tasty except for the wonder bread it came with. The bread had no flavor and was soggy which made the sandwich fall apart and very hard to eat. If I go back Ill stick with breakfast.

This is a strong contender for the best eggs benedict I have ever had in the my life. They have truly perfected the taste of the hollandaise sauce for their eggs benny. I specifically ordered the eggs pacifico that comes with smoked salmon and I was blown away by everything in the dish. The smoked salmon tasted amazing in tandem with the eggs benny and the potatoes were cooked perfectly with the right amount of seasoning. Blue Fox Cafe is a must go to.

Delicious!

Expensive and tasteless compared to its reputation.. Overrated place I ordered salmon eggs benedict and chicken sandwich, but I dont understand why they are famous. The portions are large, but the taste is so-so. Ive been to two jam cafes in Vancouver, and the ones there were much more delicious. This one only exists in Victoria, and I heard it was traditional and famous, so I went here instead of going to the nearby jam cafe, but I was very disappointed. Salmon Benedict The salmon was so salty that I couldnt finish it. Even after several hours had passed, the salty taste remained in my mouth (some other reviews mentioned that the salmon was very salty, but it was really salty). The sandwich bread was dry and there was nothing special about the ingredients. I felt like Subway tasted better for the price. The potatoes were slightly undercooked and hard and not soft. Im glad I didnt have to wait, but it would have been even more disappointing if I had waited and ate.

My recent visit to Blue Fox Café was an unforgettable experience that I can t wait to share! I treated myself to a delightful spread of summer berries with Chantilly cream, Huevos Rancheros, and a refreshing glass of lavender lemonade. Each dish was not only beautifully presented but also bursting with flavor. Upon arrival, I noticed a group of four waiting ahead of me, but luck was on my side I was seated within just a couple of minutes. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, complemented by the exceptional service from the friendly staff, who truly went above and beyond to make my visit special. Overall, my experience at Blue Fox Café was nothing short of extraordinary. If you re looking for a brunch spot that combines delicious food with impeccable service, this is the place to be. Highly recommended for anyone in Victoria!

I ve always loved visiting this restaurant it s been a favorite spot of mine with consistently good food and friendly service. However, my recent experience was disappointing. I ordered an eggs benedict, but something in it tasted off, like an ingredient had gone bad. The staff was understanding, tasted it themselves, and even replaced it, but unfortunately, the second serving tasted even worse than the first. I appreciate the effort they put into addressing the issue, but this experience really fell short of my expectations. Hoping this was just a one-off, and things go back to the usual high quality on my next visit!

Yummy as always. Loved my Salish Salmon omelette and lavender fog.

30min wait on a weekend. Potatoes were crispy, a bit too big for my liking. Sautéed tofu was surprisingly good. Eggs, toast and jam tasted like quality. Portion was generous so overall a great meal.

I wish we could give our name and have time to take a walk or shop while waiting. Other than that, the club sandwich was amazing. The lettuce was fresh and not altered by the heat of the other ingredients, chicken perfectly cooked and loved the sauce they spread on the bread! Service was great, the music too, but feels a bit crowded

Wow, this place was amazing. The food was tasty, delightfully prepared and portions HUGE. The portobello Benedict had terrific flavor and texture. The potatoes were cooked to perfection and the coffee with great aroma. Truly a wonderful find. Get there early as the lines are long and slow with anxious diners peeking through the windows.

We had breakfast there, my fd suggested, we re the 3rd in queue, not waiting too long. I thought we over expected the quality with the price. Disappointed on the potatoes not even being seasoned.

Great Brunch. Excellent for allergies and dietary restrictions as well (Celiac).

Brilliant little spot, but bizarre they re not open until 10am. We ve had to pass up a few opportunities to eat here because they weren t open. Regardless, it s worth waiting till they re open!! Great food and great spot.

Excellent! Too many delicious choices on the menu. My omlette was delicious and my husband enjoyed his eggs Benedict. Oatmilk lattes were good as well. Our server Jess was friendly and attentive.

Not worth the wait, there should at least be an online waiting list to not stand in line outside for an hour

A definite must if you want a great breakfast in Victoria. Most likely you will stand on a line but it s worth it. The line moves faster than you d think.

Delicious food!! Would go back in a heart beat

Great food Great place. I came here a year ago by suggestion and couldnt wait to visit again when I was in town almost a year later.

Fabulous- best breakfast in Canada

Great selection of mimosa flavors. Moroccan chicken benny was delicious.

Super good brunch

The best breakfast I had during my trip to Vancouver-Victoria. I d say breakfast was even better than other high ranked breakfast places in Vancouver. Must try the Benny eggs and pancakes are the best I have tried before.

Great food but the service was mediocre.

Very delicious and a large menu. Worth the 30 min wait. Servers seemed dedicated to your table.

10 outta 10 would eat again ! The best breakfast outside of your own house .Its a comfortable bright place with really lovely service (Kaelle,Laura,Abbey) , the food is delicious and portions are good. Easy parking out the back too I just wish I could eat there more often

The vibe is great and I got there at 9:30 on a Friday and beat the rush, so I didnt have to wait in line. I was seated right away and all the staff were very friendly. I ordered a dirty chai which was perfect..great flavours and not overwhelmingly sweet which was nice. The blue fox grill had a bit of everything and each bite was delicious. Their homemade jam made the toast even more tasty.

Thank you for a wonderful breakfast and great staff.

Great food quality! Excelkent menu choices! Plate presentation shows pride in food prep. Great staff!

I am very satisfied with the place and food. The pancakes are verrrry delicious!!!!

The Blue Fox has been around since 1991, I was born in 1992, and I consider myself close to perfect from all my years of experience, but the Blue Fox blew me out of the water when it came to perfection! Im a tourist, and yes, the eggs Benny, macadamia nut caramel coffee, and mimosa was worth the 45 minute wait in line. If you care for great food, great service, and a fun small restaurant atmosphere, go see what all the hype is about if youve got the time! Vegetarian options: Portabello Benny (minus the cow feta) Kid-friendliness: Yes Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

Great food, service, and vibes. Been a staple for brunch goers for years. Small room with lots of seats. Be prepared to wait a little bit because its normally pretty busy! Our server Jessica was great, so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended this place!

I ve been to Blue Fox Cafe many times , and it s always fantastic! I ve tried everything on the menu, and honestly, I ve loved every single dish. The flavors are spot-on every time. The staff there are awesome so friendly and welcoming. They always smile, pay attention to every detail, and make sure you feel comfortable. If you haven t been yet, you re missing out! I highly recommend giving it a try. It s definitely one of my favorite spots, and I ll keep coming back or order for more!

Came early (8:30) so there wasnt a wait although it started to build soon after we arrived. Really friendly and helpful serving staff although did hear other tables being told the specials on the drinks which we didnt get offered. Not a massive deal but just something I noticed. Food arrived pretty quickly. Delicious and hearty portions. We had the portobello benny and huevos rancheros. Would highly recommend both. All the other diners food looked epic too. The pancakes looked massive! Didnt feel rushed even though there were people waiting to be seated. Overall a really lovely dining experience.

Excellent food and service!

Loved it. Such a cool spot for brunch! Th vibes are really awesome and the food even better.

Staff was wonderful. Drinks amazing. Food was great!

We ve been ordering the fabulous chicken quesadilla dish for decades previously top notch. But recently the chef has changed the dish significantly incredible fig chutney was replaced by date slices, curry yogurt also changed, and the chicken quesadilla seemed to have less chicken to be replaced with mushrooms, and decreased cheese. The salad was still fabulous, but the main dish & dips have unfortunately been changed. Too bad as this was previously an outstanding dish!

I think the food tastes the best among all the brunch cafes Ive been to while traveling abroad... (Im writing a review right after eating) For the Eggs Benedict, the soft-boiled eggs were so soft and delicious, the combination of ingredients in the huevos rancheros was the best, and the berry jam and softness of the French toast were superb. If I come again, I will definitely stop by.

Was skeptical but it was definitely worth the wait (about 30 minutes). The orange pancakes were phenomenal and all the staff were super friendly even while managing a packed restaurant.

Pretty mediocre breakfast. Hollandaise was split, smoked salmon was wildly salty. Would have been very grump if we had waited in line.

I arrived at 0930 on a Friday and the line was already down the street. About 30 min wait. I felt it was worth the wait. I had one of the more unpopular items on the menu - haha - the Orange Cardamom and honey cream oats, but guess what? Best oats ever and I was able to eat all but a few bites. Most diners around me ordered the giant platters of pancakes, eggs, potatoes etc and maybe ate 1/4 to 1/2. So, I was happy with my decision to stick with the healthier option that didn t leave me feeling like I ate a gut bomb. Point is, don t let the oats deter you ..great pre-hike breakfast. Super fun and friendly staff and environment.

Simply delicious! I never imagined brunch could be this tasty. Cooking with care truly makes a difference! Highly recommended to everyone.

Good breakfast, for me I did not find anything supernatural, there are many places with similar. It was interesting why people are ready to stand in line for 45-50 minutes for breakfast. We tried it, the service is good, the place is cozy and beautiful paintings, but waiting in line for almost an hour to then eat and see another hour of people in line outside, does not bring pleasure. I ordered eggs Benedict with salmon, and for a long time fought with a rubbery bun, it was clearly frozen earlier. The check for two was 60-70$.

Great breakfast food! Many creative eggs benedict options. I got the eggs pico and it was delicious. I tried the French toast and thought it was very good too. Place is a bit small in relation to the crowd it pulls so be prepared for a wait, even on a weekday. Its worth waiting for, though!

The only friendly host was Leo, rest very unfriendly. Long waiting list (1 hour and they passed the ones behind because did not want to attache table for 6 of us), they dont want to do reserveing to do marketing ( took 60 min to sit). I would rather save time going somewhere else.

The waiting lines outside were excessively long, making it not worth the wait. They didnt have a waiting list, forcing you to stay and waste your time for food that wasnt very delicious or special. Most of the staff were impolite, except for Leo, who was exceptional. Overall, it does not justify wasting your time.

This is my favorite breakfast spot in Victoria! The food is excellent and has large portions. There are a wide variety of egg dishes, as well as pancakes, french toast, and lunch options. I had avavado toast and a fruit cup and the rest of my family tried different meals and all enjoyed them. Everything was very fresh and well made. The lavender London fog latte and Belgian hot chocolate are also amazing!! This is a very small place, so expect a bit of a wait to be seated, but it is well worth it.

We Waited about 45 mins to get in, worth the wait Breakfast was very good service too. Food

Only con is that they do not take reservations. The hollandaise sauce is heavenly. Their eggs benny were immaculate. I was incredibly happy with the dining experience. Food : 5/5

Great food, lovely staff!

Had to wait in line for a while but definitely worth it! We tried their Bennies and omelette, and both of them were so amazing. They did a really good job combining unique flavour with eggs and the portion size surprised us. Their fried potatoes were not for me(a bit soft), so I ll try their salad instead next time. I ll be back for sure!

Today is my birthday. I told them and gave me a little surprise. Thanks for your kindness.

Delightful

I went for brunch in the morning. The atmosphere was nice and the staff were friendly! The food was of course the best It was a little after 9am and the line was long even though it was a weekday.. I recommend going early!!

Just exceptional food, excellent customer service, kodos to the restaurant manager and the chef. Victorias finest breakfast places! The portion are large and perfect! Wish they had more non pork options, then they would be the best in Victoria!!

We are here traveling from out of town, and saw that there was a line out the door yesterday so we decided to come right when the restaurant opened. We had incredible service and the food and drinks were amazing as well.

Solid breakfast options and the portions were huge! The banana cream pancakes were amazing and the Fox Grill which has all your normal basics were good as well. Lined up on a long weekend at around 9:30am and got in within half hour. They don t rush you out the door and the service is quick. Only thing is they don t do substitutions but you can order half orders of dishes and they knock off about $3.5 off.

Deserves the wait! Spacious setting, accommodates large groups. Food looked and tasted amazing. Staff are very friendly and helpful with the recommendations. We tried the huevos rancheros, omelette and ohana banana cream one piece pancake and one piece french toast, WAS AMAZING! Portions are generous and sharing is recommended. Food

Chorizo and toast added to the taco plate. It was very tasty!! We weren t very hungry, so one plate was enough for 2. You will be able to refill coffee even if you ordered hot chocolate!! We waited about 30 minutes for 2 people on Saturday.

Yummy food with huge portions. Service was worthy of a tip for a change here.

Its a popular and busy brunch spot. The food was good, not great. What really let it down was the slow and unremarkable service. Not worth the hype.

Absolutely love going for brunch at the Blue Fox cafe. The only reason that I rated 4 stars for service is because it s hit or miss. And the line is always long and doesn t accommodate those who have disabilities who can t stand for extended periods of time. Waiting in the rain sucks! Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free options

A place worth the wait! Brunch times can be busy - expect a small wait to get it. The food is delicious and very well priced, great drinks and wonderful service. The portion sizes ensure you will not be leaving hungry! They also have brunch cocktails for those of you who are on vacation!

One of the best Egg Bennys you can get in Victoria. Great Service. Staff is very friendly and accommodative. Food is tasty and quality is good too. Portion size is big and prices are reasonable. Always busy so one has to wait in line outside the restaurant as no reservations are taken on call. Limited road side paid parking available. Vegetarian options: Veg options are limited. Few of the dishes can be customized to make it veg. Parking: Hourly paid parking on the street. Its one way, so might be hard to find parking during busy hours.

Well worth the wait in the line! Food is delicious and the portions are decent size :)

Great brunch spot! French toast was fantastic!

What a great little cafe, often a lineup to get in, but if you have time, it is worth the wait. Blackstone eggs Benedict were delicious, and so was the huevos rancheros. My wife had french toast which was nice and custardy, like a french toast should be. Very friendly service and a nice atmosphere. Thanks so much for breakfast!

I cant tell if the service was the best part or the food.we came and greeted by miss jessica.she has very warm welcoming smile and attitude.we served by miss rue and she was very kind.she suggested very good item from menu we all enjoyed very much.our coffee are always filled up water glass are full.my wife got French toast apple she loved it and I got salmon beni that was also delicious.our friend with us got loved the their food also.be aware place is busy.higlhly recommended.the only complain I we had why dont we have bigger stomach.

This place actually makes me happy to be inside of. My friends and I came in a little close to closing which I was very anxious about. They let us in no problem and never once made us feel bad for coming in at the end. They actually did the opposite and made it an amazing environment. Best eggs benny I ve had in well over a year and they put so much good stuff on it that someone beside me even asked what it was I got because they wanted to order the same and they were amazed at the fact that it was simply an Eggs Benny. THAT is a reaction to be proud of. It was very busy but somehow still felt cozy. Thank you for making mine and my pal s day Blue Fox. We will be back !

Food was tasty. Highly recommend Moroccan Benny

Well sized portions but nothing special

Def a must eat if ur visiting. We went at 8:15am and were lucky to be seated immediately as they were filling up fast. Got the spanish omellete (?) and it was RLLY good. Nice hefty stuffed omellete with crispy toast. The highlight was the house made JAM. Good portion size. Left feeling satisfied. Service was quick and attentive. Atmosphere feels vintage and super full of character

Came here for breakfast one day on a trip to Victoria. We arrived early, about 15 minutes after they opened and it was almost full already- we did get a table but after us, people were waiting in a line up to get seated. So definitely come early as every day we saw a line up outside when we would pass by this place the rest of the time we were in Victoria. The menu options were very unique and it was hard to chose just one option! Lots of vegetarian options so no issues there. My partner had a coffee drink that had chili flakes in it- he let me try some and it was so interesting! never had something like that before. The meal was very yummy and plate was loaded, I dont think I was able to finish it all. Cozy but tight atmosphere, staff is nice and fast service. Really like the art on the walls. Would definitely come back here again next time Im in Victoria.

No vegan options.

This place always has a line, looking at 30-60 minute wait, but you will be happy that you did! Great servers, servings and service! Love it Dietary restrictions: Im dairy free and they accommodated me to the best of their ability.

Im a huge fan of Western breakfast and I will say the portions for the Foxs Grill were definitely the most Ive had; well I did spend $23 so that shouldnt be a surprise. The breakfast as such was quite enjoyable yet there were a few misses - the potatoes were larger than usual and excessive so finishing them was a task. The eggs, sausage, bacon, mushrooms were all good if not great. The tomatoes were soggy, but still added good flavour to the food. The star however, was the house made jam which I realllly enjoyed with the toast! Overall it was alright!

I m not really a breakfast person, but I ve always wanted to eat here once, because everything just looked so mouthwatering. Thankfully my friends dragged my sleepy self out of bed and good heavens, it was so worth it. The portions are large, but that doesn t mean the quality isn t good. It might ve been the best Benedict I ve ever had, but I can say for sure because I haven t had many. I get the feeling that it still would be one of the best things I put in my mouth. There is almost always a wait from what I ve heard, and we ended up waiting around 40min. The restaurant was rather cramped as well, with some people being wayyy to close for comfort To tell the truth, that may be the reason why I wouldn t visit again/as frequently.

We came for lunch and waited for about 30 minutes. The staff was nice but the food was not as good as we expected. I really like the over-easy eggs thou. The eggs here were really delicious compared to eggs in the US.

Worth the line/wait! Try to avoid weekend brunch if you can, but the folks are so nice and the portions very generous. We split an egg dish and french toast and the drinks are fun too! Just dont linger, be thoughtful to the folks waiting outside!

Consistently one of the best restaurant experiences in Victoria! Food is always excellent, creative and hot, service is always prompt, friendly and professional and the atmosphere is fantastic! Love this place!

One of the cutest little hole on the wall breakfast cafes Ive been to ~ service was amazingly quick, after a slight wait followed by delicious food! 10/10 recommend for an off the beaten path place in downtown Victoria. Parking: Paralell on the street in front, paid, very limited.

I dont state this lightly as I take breakfast very, VERY serious but wow... probably the best breakfast I have ever had. The portions were good, the menu was anything but bland (but included all of the staples) and it was unbelievably delicious. The coffee and cocktails were all amazing too. While the venue isnt huge the line moves fast and is very kuch worth it. If youre even remotely debating breakfast joints just stop and head here.

Good food, but very very heavy. I wish they could reduce the portion sizes of certain dishes and price them accordingly.

This place had the best breakfast Ive had in a long long time. It even rivals my local home town favourite in Melbourne! The staff are so nice and the atmosphere + the food gave us a perfect dining experience. Food

Very small restaurant and you can expect to wait. Its not possible to make reservations. Staff is friendly, but we did have to wait quite a while for our food. Food is tasty, and quality ingredients are used. $4 for a cup of coffee when youre buying breakfast seems a bit steep, though.

Honestly one of the best breakfasts I ve had in a long time. Every portion of the meal was delicious and the portion size was worth the price. The staff were super friendly and accomodating as well! We both had the Fox s Grill. Shoutout out to the jam on the side as well!

The food was good, nothing special but good. I also had a chilli moka which was excellent. The service is very slow. We were first in line, stepped inside at 8.00 but only got our food at 9.00. After we got the bill we waited for 20 min for the waitress to show up with the machine but no one showed up so we decided to just walk to the till and pay there. If thats what we are supposed to do in the first place it would be great if patrons would be told to do so instead of having them wait until they loose patience. We felt the place is pretty over hyped, the long lineup on the sidewalk is not justified by the great experience inside.

Oh my God it s so tasty dishes are so big portions really for two people. Hot chocolate so sweet Waited in line more than 1 hour Do you know why blue fox? Cause .. no reason. We asked at the owner of this cafe

Theres a wait and the food comes out slowly, but its delicious and worth the wait. However, when eating it, it feels a bit too greasy for Korean tastes. Still, this is a cafe worth visiting at least once if you go to Victoria Island!

I had to wait an hour to eat on a weekday. The food overall is delicious. Banana hotcakes are really delicious!

Delicious brunch

This is a downtown gem. Youre only a walk away from the harbour. Dont miss out and you better be hungry! In my photo, there are three large eggs under all that food and some huge slabs of crisp bacon. (Plate just was not big enough). I am big guy and had to take some some with me. I think this was the BIGGEST Breakfast you could get for $22. This place always had a line up since I remember going back 8 years. This time I decided to wait and it was worth it. The food and service are excellent. This lil cafe has such great nostalgia and artsy charm which is drawing factor for downtown Victoria. Enjoy your sight-seeing in Gods country and in the capital city - whilst enjoying some great grub/service at the Blue Fox.

Very good stuff!

We accidentally came in just before close (it always pays to double check hours), and the staff were so sweet, sat us right away and fed us a fabulous brunch regardless. The food was quick, fresh and very tasty!

Fox grill 22 Eggs Pacifico 21 1/2Pancake 13 Golden Moon Milk Latte 6.5 Victorias first brunch Of course you have to make a pilgrimage It is located on Fort Street, which was once a British colony. The street scene is also full of Victorian style, almost all of which are small shops in red brick buildings Come eat as soon as it opens and dont have to queue up There are a variety of brunch options, including eggs Benedict, eggs, waffles, French toast series, and classic breakfast platters. One meal is worth two meals ( ) Highly recommend their muffins and turmeric honey latte

Blue Fox Cafe: Where Victorias Breakfast Shines! Headed to Blue Fox Cafe in Victoria on a Good Friday in 2024 and was greeted by a bit of a line-up, but the wait was worth it! By 9:30 am, the buzz was palpable, signaling something special inside. The Foxs Grill and Classic Benny were my choices, alongside a Cappuccino and Belgian Hot Chocolate. Each dish was a hit, bursting with flavor and served in generous portions that had us packing leftovers. Friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere made the experience even better. Blue Fox Cafe is definitely on my Victoria revisit list for a hearty breakfast experience!

We are waiting 30-40 minutes. Its worth waiting for here. I ordered Moroccan chicken benny, and my friend ordered egg blackstone. And I ordered a salad for +2 dollars. I think its really good to add salad. The salad was so delicious, too. Moroccan chicken tasted like curry. I want to eat something else next time. It was much better than the brunch I had in Vancouver. And the staff is so kind. Ill come back again next time.

HONEST REVIEW: First of all shout out to the cook, the food was amazing. However, the front house, can y all take ur foot faster? Plenty of empty tables for 20 mins? And you all make ppl wait outside while looking at your super speed when cleaning and taking orders. The food 8/10 The service and severs: 2/10

Got there at 815, no line. Left at 9, HUGE line. And theres a damn good reason. Eggs Benedict Blackstone was excellent, really wanted to get sick overeating so I could get all the hollandaise off the plate. Would go back, but only first thing in the morning.

My all time favourite breakfast spot in Victoria. No reservations, so be prepared to queue, but the food is exceptional.

Excellent all round experience, well worth the wait with great service and good value!

So good! Benedict s are out of this world and all the other dishes are very generously portioned. It s so good people might line up outside if it s busy, and it s totally worth the wait!

We come here every time we come to Victoria

This place was as good as everyone says it is. I waited about 40 minutes to get in on a Saturday at noon. Apparently that is pretty typical. Well worth the wait! Food wad delicious!

The eggs Benedict are very good

The food not so bad.

Always a great breakfast

omg!!! so good. First time here today and our server, Laura, was so friendly and awesome. I had the salmon omelet and i think it was one of the best breakfasts i ve ever had in victoria.

Was here last saturday 1) the place was stinky like a bathroom and too loud. 2) poor service quality from servers who all looked like they were in an unorganized mess. 3) over cooked food. The eggs tasted like white vinegar, unevenly cooked bacon, over cooked sausages, oily mushrooms. Fries were more like salty mash potato,Dry toast, soggy salad and got squishy brown bananas and moldy grapes 4) charged us 2$ for mayo which was in a tiny paper cup. Mayo and ketchup is free in every restaurant but here. Not a single good thing to say about this place Wanted to give zero stars.

Wait? Yup. Worth it? Yup. Totally go here.

Visited from Vancouver and this place was definitely on our list for restaurants! If you are looking for breakfast/brunch - this is really good place to have it. We ordered Moroccon quesadillas and migas and amigas from classic breakfast and lunch menu. We spent a total of 50$ excluding tip. Vibe was very warm and welcoming! They also have really good options for cocktails My Rating : 8.5/10

Avocados and arugula were really fresh. The bread was overcooked, and it was hard and tough. Egg was fresh too, but we didnt like the sauce of bennies. The jam was too sweet.

The food was fantastic. They are very popular and super busy so the service was slow, the tables are cramped, and the restaurant is not the prettiest, but the food is so good that none of that matters at all. One of the best brunches I have ever had the portabello benny with pumpkin seed pesto and it was amazing. Highly reccomend. Vegetarian or not, theres something great to eat here.

The food and service quality don t justify the long wait time. We waited 40 minutes to be seated. The restaurant has no ventilation led to the whole place smelling musty. We ordered 2 different types of bennies, the biscuits were thick and dry and the hollandaise sauce was mediocre. We could barely finish half of our food. Overall, the experience isn t worth the hype.

Absolutely amazing. The food is awesome, huge portions and fresh ingredients. The service is always attentive too, making sure you have enough coffee and water and theyre always helpful explaining the dishes and asking about allergies. The line-up outside could benefit from a few chairs or stools for disabled folks who want to get in on an amazing brunch. Wheelchair accessibility: Due to the cramped tables I dont think its the most accessible place.

Great breakfast and great service from Cece!!!

Great service, good food. A bit cramped.

eggs benedict

Good but not quite worth the line

Good service and atmosphere. Food was out fast but somehow Cold too cold to be anything other than pre- prepared I get busy but a perfect example of when shortcuts fall flat . Thats twice this has happened sorry no third chance ! ..

Hands down the best brunch restaurant in Victoria. We arrived about noon to find quite a long queue of customers waiting on the sidewalk. After checking with the hostess, she estimated about a 20 minute wait, so we joined the queue. Her prediction was almost perfect. About 22 minutes and she invited us to step in from the front of the line and wait inside the tiny lobby to get warmed up - it was a cold day. In a few moments we were at our table and perusing the extensive brunch menu. We decided to share the oatmeal, which could be a meal in itself. They even brought a small jug of hot oat milk to accompany it. Our other dishes were avocado toast, with a very generous portion of avocado and french toast topped with sour cream, fresh orange sections, triple sec syrup, and toasted pecans. Everything was delicious, service was prompt and we finished off with maple syrup lattes, not that we needed more sugar!

Amazing Eggs benedict!

Competes with Cherries Bistro as #1 on Vancouver Island for Breakfast food! Love the Blue Fox Cafe. I would recommend the fox s grill if your a first timer but you can t go wrong with some pancakes or French toast. If you re downtown you gotta eat here. Vegetarian options: Many options Parking: Only street parking

An amazing breakfast. People line up outside to get in and I can see why. Portions are huge thus there is a lot of waste

Great food and service as always

If you go on a weekend after 10 am be ready for do a long waiting line outside the restaurant. The service is very good, like that even that I didn t order regular coffee, because I had a coffee (honey latte) they refiel my mug :) The bacons sandwich that I order was delicious! The pancakes were good, but not as tasty as the sandwich. I recommend to order for the center and try 2 or 3 different dishes (if you are more than 2 people). The dishes are big and tasty! Great place to visit and have breakfast. If you are a tourist that just do one meal for visit as many things you can in a day, this is a good option to have brunch and be full the rest of the day.

Good breakfast brunch place. Nice staff. Gets very busy!!

(Visited on February 5, 2024) Breakfast as soon as you arrive by seaplane Portobello Benny Eggs Benedict is really delicious!! It contains large shiitake mushrooms called Portobello, which go really well with eggs and the bread is chewy~ The best Eggs Benedict Ive ever had There are so many types of Eggs Benedict here! The French toast may look overwhelming, but its not too sweet because its made with maple syrup, and its tastier than I expected! There was a lot, so I had some left over. Even if you share both menus, its a lot of food The cafe concept is really cute, the atmosphere is good, the music is good, and the staff are lively and friendly, so I feel like it will be a pleasant day - (theres an employee who looks like Drew Barrymore ) Writing a review while drinking a delicious latte -

Food and Drink are great, simple but tasty.. its always pretty busy so wait staff can be hard to get a hold of and expect to wait outside a bit on weekends.. its been like this for 20 years at least so dont expect it to change

Beautiful little coffee shop, delicious pastries!!! You get a choice of coffee bean, I was very happy with my Americano here. Would definitely recommend!! And the staff were wonderful

Fantastic food and wonderful service. One of (if not the) best eggs Benny in town. Portions are very generous. Arrive early to avoid the line if possible! But always worth the wait.

Above and beyond! it was my first time today to have my brunch for my break and its for takeout since I have no time for dining. When I got to their restaurant oh wow theyre full but they have the manpower to handle the situation. I ordered a classic Benny and the Ohanna banana cream pancake!!! Wow, are you guys making a profit with the amount of serving? Its crazy holy! The taste was unremarkable and of course, I have ordered a Mocha which is perfectly brewed. You guys everyone in the world! You should put yourself in the line up its worth it waiting for dining. Cant wait to enjoy my next dish very soon! Thank you so friendly staff!

Blue Fox cafe Has been serving a west coast style all day breakfast since 1991. Located in downtown Victoria, this iconic establishment has become a beloved destination for locals and tourists alike. We had the Moroccan chicken club that came with bacon, cheddar, apple chutney, green leaf, tomato, curry ginger mayo. As well as the Salish salmon omelette which had a Wild Pacific salmon fillet, Roma tomato, arugula, spring onion, feta, lemon basil aioli, fried capers, cracked pepper. Both dishes were unique and bold in flavour offering an explosion of flavours, leaving a lingering sensation of satisfaction. The success of Blue Fox cafe can be attributed not only to their exceptional food but also to their exceptional service. This combined with a warm, inviting and artistic atmosphere makes for the perfect combination of culture and brings character to the restaurant. Thank you to the staff at blue fox cafe for going above and beyond.

I see why its always busy. Soooo good!

I was at the Blue Fox yesterday for breakfast. We got the just at the right time because by the time we left there were at least 20 people outside waiting for a seat. We got there around 8:30, by 9 they were lined up. The food is fantastic and the portions are huge. Go hungry for sure. The coffee is really good, and the staff are attentive and welcoming. They have great recommendations and they are always right. I would highly recommend this place for sure. You wont be disappointed.

The most amazing breakfast cafe I have ever been to and Im all about breakfast. Fresh ingredients. Unique flavors, wonderful staff. I got the Eggs In Hell Bennie. So frickin delicious and worth the wait! Don t miss out when in Victoria. I waited 45 mins and will do it time after time for this awesome place!

So busy so good. So good

Breakfast was delicious. and the staff was amazing! Well worth the wait!

Finally got into the blue Fox Café; went right at 8 AM. It s nice and warm and lively. All the servers were super friendly with a clever sense of wit. My friend said the salmon eggs, Benedict was the best he ever had; I had the classic island breakfast. Very enjoyable breakfast spot; worth the wait.

Its delicious, but the food is served very slowly. I almost got the stares from the people waiting outside.

Great breakfast and brunch options. Quick service and amazing staff. Love to come back.

I arrived here around 8:45 and there was already a line. I waited roughly 45 minutes to be seated. The hostess seemed a bit frazzled and directed the line to move to the wall opposite to the restaurant. It was unclear for me personally that the entire line needed to move to the other wall since she spoke toward the back of the line. She later asked us to move to the other wall and replied yes, along with everyone else. I found the later half of that statement to be unnecessary and a bit condescending. The food was fine overall. Portions were large and food was overly sweet. Service was ok for being busy. I recommend going to Floyd s Diner instead.

Had my birthday lunch here. There was a bit of a wait, of course. The food was great and the portions were really big. I recommend Eggs Benedict, of course!

Great taste, presentation and service. Expect line up so come early. Breakfast plate was awesome with amazing jam. Everything cooked very well with flavor and looks great! Will visit again. My husband had a sweet pancake dish...also fabulous!

I always come back to this place whenever I visit Victoria. Great foods (eggs benedict is my favorite). Be prepared to wait, this place is always very busy, which is the sign of a great diner.

Friendly staff and fun busy atmosphere. Great menu and the food was sensational! Highly recommend!

Enjoyed the food here - large portion size and large selections of brunch items (tasty mango jam!) The line starts around 8:45 so it s best to come early. The food did come a bit later than expected but given the large portion it s understandable. Their Belgian hot chocolate is a must-try!! I m sure their mochas are great too - just not a coffee drinker myself.

It was delicious. It was the most delicious brunch I had since coming to Warhol, but I came on a day trip and waited for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Time is so precious Its not worth waiting that long to eat. Enjoy more of beautiful Victoria during that time. For day trippers, open run or Time is money, so if you want to shorten it, dont hesitate to give up...

I dont like to give 5 star reviews very often, but WOW does the Blue Fox Cafe deserve it. Not even kidding, this is the best brunch Ive ever had. Service, atmosphere, and most importantly the food was all PERFECT. Big time props to the chef(s) because they know how its done. The next time Im visiting Victoria I know exactly where Im going to get my brunch, and you should too!

Best casadia s in town

Holindaise sauce left a bit to be desired.

First visit, we had a brief wait which was a positive because it showed that this was a popular spot and we werent disappointed. I had the special coffee and the delmonico eggs which were delicious and very filling. I highly recommend this cafe.

Pretty good breakfast joint that is perhaps over hyped. Long lines and cool atmosphere. Food is a solid B+

Best pancakes Ive ever had

4/5 stars because it was good but very minimal options if you have dietary restrictions. plan for a long wait

I was impressed by the delicious food and friendly service.

Order 2 bennys and 2 coffees. The benny are tasty and fulfilling lol.

This is a cute little place with a bit of a quirky atmosphere. There is often a line outside but we managed to go at a slower time. Our food came out fast and hot. I ordered the eggs pico which was huge and delicious. Our server was kind and patient with our slower group and kids ordering for themselves. There wasnt a kids menu but they were accommodating. This is a place we make sure to come to when we are in the area. Vegetarian options: There were a few great vegetarian options.

Awesome food and great service always. Been many times and absolutely cant wait to return.

My favorite place for breakfast in victoria!, great flavor, huge portion plate, today we were so lucky!, we don t have to wait to be seated, the service was great!

A breakfast worthy of the lineup I often see at this establishment when passing by. Ordered the standard breakfast, Island Eggs . It was considerably better than other breakfasts I ve had in town. The eggs were quite tasty, free range I imagine given the colour of the yolks. Potatoes were respectable, toast above average, and sausages larger and of higher quality than normal. Service was quick and friendly as well, better than I expected from a breakfast restaurant. Well done Blue Fox Café! I will be back.

The best Huevos Rancheros you could ever wish for, and the best pan fried potatoes, definitely worth waiting in line (which moves quick)

Seriously the best double shot mocha coffee I ve had! We got Mayan Mocha and Lemon drop tea. So fresh.. and the food was amazing as well!

I just wanna mention right off the bat that I think the staff here are some of the friendliest, quirkiest folks working in service. I always have a positive experience talking to the people who work here. With that out of the way, lets talk about the food. I havent ordered something without really really enjoying it. I never ever get sweet, but last time I went with my partner she ordered waffles and bananas or whatever its called and it was so, so good. My benny was awesome, dont get me wrong, but that dish really took the cake. The only thing wrong with this place is the wait, but thats just a testament to how awesome the food here is. We stand, we wait, so far its always worth it.

You Must Come Here!!! Came for breakfast, and there was a line (which is always a good sign). When seated, hubby ordered the Mayan Mocha, which he said was very good and had a good punch to it. I had the hot chocolate, and it is most definitely not made from powder, Its real chocolate. We both ordered French toast, his the apple, and mine the banana one. Best French toast weve ever had!!! Service was good, though it took a bit of time for the food to come out (thats what you get when a restaurant is busy, so Im fine with it). Please come here for breakfast.....you wont regret it.

Still the best and my favourite of all time, tbh. Have been coming here for YEARS, recently brought my mother this past weekend. We all loved it-- it renewed my love for it. Seriously THE BEST French Toast. Most places get it WOEFULLY wrong-- not Blue Fox. Custardy, thick, delicious. And the hollandaise is magic. Yes, its a bit of a cozy fit but everyone is friendly, and we had a few nice chats with the other customers this past weekend.

Sooooo good! Worth the line up wait!

I had the eggs Benedict Delmonico dish with Arugula and fried capers on the excellent hollandaise sauce. Salmon under the egg went perfectly with the eggs and bun. Hash browns were perfect. My eyes were bigger than my tummy and I took a box with the goodies home. It was a great time with my son. A great atmosphere with great staff. The lineups are worth it. Parking on the street out front if you get there before 8 am, and be a first group person. :)

Food

Consistently fantastic food....weve been coming here for years and never had a problem with anything. A true gem in Victoria and a testimony to how you run a business

The foods are not good as I expected. I think the cafe is overrated.

Food was amazing, super tasty and huge portions - i would drive to Victoria everyday for this brunch best eggs benny iv ever had by a long shot 1 Food

Service and atmosphere are so fun. Best mocha i ve ever had was their chilli chocolate mocha!
