"The scene: Self-described as ‘slightly finer dining inspired by land and sea’, 10 Acres Kitchen goes back to basics in the best way possible. Whatever the kitchen team doesn’t grow and ethically raise themselves on their organic farm in North Saanich, they selectively source from like-minded farmers, fishermen and food purveyors as locally as possible. Their regionally-inspired Pacific West Coast menus headline the freshest and most innovative ingredients available, guaranteeing you bursts of incredible flavour with every mouthful."

"10 Acres Kitchen in Victoria is one of three restaurants that are run by the 10 Acres Farm and Restaurant Group that provide ethically raised animals from their farms to these restaurants.

"This fully enclosed terrace is the perfect place to grab a bite or sip an after dinner drink. "We pledge to serve the best of the Island.

We compost everything we can from the restaurant to enrich our farm’s soil. Last year we created 60 tonnes of compost!" 10 Acres Bistro"

Hoyne is thought of as one of the craftiest and highest quality breweries in Victoria, BC, and there really wasn’t a beer I didn’t like in my small free flight of tasters. When you learn the history behind this brewery you’ll understand why the beer is so good."

They offer slightly more upscale dining (similar to Canoe), using farm-to-table ingredients for their dishes and focusing on fresh and hearty menu items. Spinnaker’s is also a guesthouse, so if you fancy Victorian-style rooms, whirlpool tubs, fireplaces, and hardwood floors, book accommodation here for a night or two."
