We’ve created quite a name with our beachside setting, our look and our menu. We have all the ingredients for a memorable dining experience: tantalizing West coast cuisine, spectacular ocean views, awesome staff and a beach to top off the evening with a moonlit stroll. There is nowhere that even compares. Charter’s Restaurant at McMorran’s Beach House - only minutes from downtown Victoria. 

Creative west coast fare, local seafood and a weekly fresh sheet specials are served for lunch and dinner, and can be enjoyed in the bay window overlooking the pub garden, or in front of a crackling fire. Soups and famous seafood chowder, are made daily and all entrees are made to order.

Built in 1894 as a stage coach stop seventeen miles from Victoria City Hall, the 17 Mile Pub House enroute to Sooke has retained its yesteryear charm. There is even a hitching post a visitor arriving by horseback.

Friendly and very quick service. We are always amazed at how fast the food comes out. You’d almost think it was prepared ahead of time but rest assured that’s not the case. The food is always fresh and tastes excellent. The kitchen is just out of site but you can hear everything such as the food sizzling to perfection. Yes, we really like this place!  It is our favourite Asian cuisine in the Westshore area for both dine in and take out. They serve a few selections of house wines and domestic beer. Imported beers Corona, Singtao, Heneken and Asahi also served.

If you can’t get to Mexico but have a craving for the food, a drive to this tiny room off Beacon Avenue in Sidney (Greater Victoria) might save you. Generous portions of hearty Mexican and Tex-Mex fare washed down with a margarita will have you forgetting your troubles, at least temporarily, and prices are cheap — think chicken or beef quesadillas served with salad for under $10. Don’t miss the San Antonio dip ($5.95), a blend of cheeses, refried beans, salsa and sour cream baked until bubbling and served with freshly made tortilla chips. Closed Mondays. Open Tuesday - Sunday, 11 a.m. - 8:30 p.m. Reservations strongly recommended.

One of our favourite places to eat when heading north of Victoria. Normally an easy 40 minute drive to Duncan, a city known for its native arts centre and totem poles placed throughout the city - especially downtown near the train station. From homemade burgers to garlic prawns to pasta and seafood dishes everything is made with care and attention to detail. Very reasonably priced. The Craig Street Brew Pub serves their own skillfully crafted beers, made right on the premises by Brew Master Chris Gress. You can purchase it by the glass, pint, pitcher or if you are wanting to sample each beer you can purchase the Toolbox. The 1940’s building has been newly renovated and you will be greeted by a warm interior full of large exposed timbers. There is a street side patio plus a rooftop deck for outdoor seating. There is a 100 year old antique bar, and a more intimate area of the main floor that features a stage for live music and a real wood burning fireplace. This room is highlighted by the wonderful paintings of the Valley’s very own EJ Hughes, one of Canada’s most celebrated artists. Up the spectacular wood staircase, you’ll pass the brew house behind 2 stories of glass. The mezzanine level features historical photos of Duncan and a high definition TV.

A warm and inviting, pub style atmosphere opren to all ages. Cozy up in a quiet corner by the fireplace or … meet the gang to watch the game on HD TV’s. Locally owned and run, good quality food and beverage including locally crafted beers.

Four Mile Pub is an English style pub located just outside downtown Victoria which draws a large local clientele as well as a crowd from downtown Victoria. The upscale pub fare combines old world style with a distinctively west coast influence. It boasts 16 beers on tap, an extensive wine and scotch list as well as a year round patio.

One of the best known and most picturesque landmarks of its day in Victoria, Four Mile is the fourth oldest house in Victoria’s history. At that early time, the Victoria stage coaches struggled up the tough Four Mile Hill on the way to Sooke and up island places.
