Best French Bakery in Sidney

"What is it: Breakfast and brunch are huge in Victoria, and brick-walled, coffee-scented Jam wins for its all-day egg-stravaganzas. Only problem is, every other early-rising hipster in town is in line ahead of you—and the venue doesn’t take reservations. But, once you get in, creative cocktails like the Madras mimosa and the bacon-garnished Bourbonator Caesar soothe the sting."

"Expect a queue at this renowned breakfast spot, but rest assured — the classic comfort food is worth the wait. Legendarily massive portions of American classics like huevos rancheros and red velvet pancakes await inside this exceptional eatery. Don’t miss the Charlie Bowl, a delicious mess of biscuits and gravy with cheese, eggs and green onions."

"You will be sure to find all the classic breakfast favorites but loads of other options such pulled pork pancakes or their infamous Charlie Bowl – a breakfast hash of sorts with crumbled biscuits, peas, ham, sausage gravy and more!. If you are on the adventurous side, it is a do-not miss in my opinion."

Located in an 1889 heritage house in James Bay, Nourish certainly lives up to its name with its short, but sweet, brunch menu featuring freshly harvested ingredients for vegetarians and meat lovers alike."

"Enjoy brunch in a super cozy and homey cafe by visiting Nourish. Housed in an 1800s Victorian-style home turned restaurant, this spot offers healthy artisan brunch delights. Choose from a selection of egg preparations, accompanied by meat or veggie protein, toast, and vegetables."

"While it's nothing fancy, their simple burgers and hotdogs are a huge hit with families. The seating inside is limited but they have a covered patio, and it's a fun experience to order from the window outside like it's a real drive in. One of the best parts is its location - I highly suggest taking a stroll through Beacon Hill Park during your outing, and even visiting the Petting Zoo (by donation) if you have time!"

"Beacon Drive-In Restaurant is on its 58th year of serving its classic treat – ice cream!. Using only local Island Farms Soft Serve ice cream all these years, it’s no wonder they’ve been around for so long!. Beacon’s warm atmosphere and friendly staff continue to serve up smiles and sweet treats year round, whether you prefer to order inside or out."

"Voted Victoria’s best ice cream 25 years in a row, the Beacon Drive-In knows how to swirl that perfect soft-serve cone. Ideally located by Dallas Road and Beacon Hill Park, you can eat in, or take your cone to wander."

"This spot isn't nestled downtown and isn't necessarily and hop-skip-and-a-jump from most work places, but trust us when we tell you it's worth the trip into Rock Bay. Saltchuck Pies specializes in savoury and sweet pies, salads, and offerings from Fernwood Coffee Company. Their rotating selection of savoury pies baked in the traditional Australian/New Zealand tradition will have you back for more."

"I don't know if I've been living under a rock but until I wrote this and had a recommendation to try here, I never even knew there was a diner past all those mouth-watering treats you see from the sidewalk. This place undoubtedly has some of the best cakes and pastries, but their diner was a real treat. The old fashioned feel is lots of fun for the kids."

"This bakery is now being run by the third generation of the Schaddelee family, who originally opened it up in 1956. If there is a longer running bakery in Victoria, I am unaware of it. For me my favourite thing about the Dutch Bakery are all the little petit fours."

"Despite being conceived by an expat Scotsman in New Westminster in 1894, BC’s quintessential tea merchant has become a Victoria staple with the company establishing its flagship location at this busy downtown... Canadian in Victoria"

"Good food, delicious cappuccino although not hot enough for my liking. My only complaint is the poorly trained staff. When asked what coffee blend they ..."

"Along with the outstanding menu, which offers choices for vegetarians, adventurers, and traditional meat-eaters, there are kid specific meals complete with milk and a cookie. I always feel good knowing about the environmental practices and local support that Big Wheel exhibit, not to mention, the staff has always been phenomenal, the service is speedy, and the atmosphere is fun and diner-esque. If the weather is nice we usually order to go and take our food down to beach or park at the end of Cook St. If it’s a bit rainy, we like staying inside at the diner like booths to enjoy our meals."

"Although it's a chain restaurant, Red Robin is a Victoria staple if you grew up in the area. Having my birthday dinner there as a kid is still engrained in my memories!. There's no denying they have one of the largest and most diverse kid menus around, from their famous Cluck-A-Doodles (chicken strips) to pizza, fish sticks, pasta, corn dogs, burgers, grilled cheese, it goes on."
