Consistently rated the top restaurant in Victoria. For those who love meat; their fresh ground chuck burger or their steak menu is consistently delicious. If you're not a red meat eater, the mussels and frites are lovely. This spot is one of the priciest, so be sure to check if it fits your budget.
