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. 

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.

Good variety of choices of authentic food of Thailand. Don’t worry about the reputation of Thai food being spicy - you can order all the way down to "mild", which is really mild - suitable for all tastes. The Singha beer is imported direct from Thailand, and is a nice lager style beer which goes with most of the menu items.

Thai authenticity is taken seriously at this restaurant, so many ingredients are imported from Thailand. Thai staff will be serving you with a traditional smile. This is a small restaurant and they don’t take reservations, so arrive early if you want to be seated right away, or be prepared for a bit of a wait.

From land to sea Café Brio’s menu focuses on regional products. Flavour pairing comes naturally when using products that come from the same region. Sauces are often kept simple or light as not to mask the natural flavours found in our local quality ingredients.

As a member of the ICC I am committed to supporting local farms and products. We have had strong ties with the organic farming community from day one. I am lucky to be able to sit down with Tina Fraser and help plan crops for the following year so that we receive the best possible products in their peak season. Other farms are following suit so that we have strong local farm resources almost year round. Beyond organics my commitment is to BC farms first for produce.

From the farms to our kitchen to your plate, enjoy!
