Absolutely incredible place! Very nice atmosphere, friendly and fast service, delicious bright and sophisticated menu. Gluten-free dishes.
I recommend to everyone!
Il Covo is a new Victoria fave for me! The garden patio is beautiful and the whole place has a lovely atmosphere. Morgana, our server, was amazing and the food was excellent. Our group was looking for some vegan and gluten free options and she was so knowledgable and made great recommendations for everyone! We will be back for sure :)
Great food. Great decor. Very gluten sensitivity friendly. The place is very clean. The staff are very friendly. 100% recommend to anyone visiting the area.
Surprisingly better than I expected! Especially as a local, I usually avoid tourists traps.
The Avo. Club is great! Real chicken, large pieces of bacon, Roma tomato, fresh greens, cibatta was soft n fresh too.
GF bun for Celiac folks.
Great view of Vic on the patio.
I finally got around to trying sushi from Matsuri and it was amazing. Everything was freshly made (and you can taste the difference), the staff were wonderful, and the prices were fair. They have quite a variety of gluten free items which can be hard to find for sushi. They were also very knowledgeable and let me know what was and wasn't safe for celiacs. Definitely will be going back!
Fantastic! I came for afternoon tea and had a great experience. I told them 24 hours in advance I was celiac/gluten free per policy so they could be prepared. They don’t have a gluten free menu but they can make the Winter Afternoon Tea gluten free. The whole tower is the same, just gluten free. All the food was fantastic and they were so kind. Beautiful atmosphere too.
This used to be our favourite place to go in Victoria. We drive from Ladysmith to Victoria on Sunday mornings to visit a family member in a care home, so we’re ready for breakfast by the time we arrive! The menu changed making it less healthy and more mainstream, replacing healthy sides with tater tots (previously frozen deep fried potatoes). This made it not very appetizing for me because I am celiac. I talked to the server about possible substitutions but didn’t receive any. We also had to go search out the server to place our order and we weren’t in a hidden location such as the patio. Other people who came after us were eating their breakfast before we even ordered.
It’s disappointing for us because we love the view and felt happy to have found a place we liked but will be searching for a new favourite. If you like mainstream you’d probably like it but we aren’t impressed anymore. I guess they got a new chef.
This is a great little grocery store. Good deals on the necessities and some specialty items. Their made to order sandwiches are very good and I love that they have a gluten free option.
A bright, wide, beautiful scene with delicious early morning breakfast. Decorative, there's always something new to look at when you turn your head. The latte is tasty and the service is kindly. They carry vegan and gluten-free items. Teas and matcha are locally supplied.
Always the best at Fisherman’s Wharf! Twice cooked fries that are the most like English fish and chips than anywhere else in Victoria. And gluten free deep fried fish and chips only available here at Fisherman’s Wharf.
