Be love is quite literally the best restaurant we've ever dined at. We've been several times now and have never been disappointed. The quality and portions are consistent, flavors are unbelievable. Everything is so fresh, you can really feel the love poured into every dish. A dream spot for anyone who is vegan and/or gluten free but ive also dined there with friends who are neither who have said it's the best food they've had. Keep doing what you're doing, its magic! ❤️🌷🙏
Thank you for making pizza that I can actually eat that tastes amazing. Finding a gluten-free/dairy-free pizza that doesn’t taste like chemicals and sadness is a true feat. ❤️
Absolutely incredible place! Very nice atmosphere, friendly and fast service, delicious bright and sophisticated menu. Gluten-free dishes.
I recommend to everyone!
This place is one of the best restaurants we've been to in a while. Everything we had was fantastic: Beef tenderloin carpaccio, smoked chicken penne, pan seared miso halibut, blackened creole chicken.
My wife has celiac and they have a lot of options. The gluten free penne was probably the best GF pasta she has tried.
We also had a few cocktails and they were all well made. Earl Grey Martini was a stand out for me.
Our server was very nice and accommodating as well and service was very fast.
Had dinner with My best friend and my mother last night. Shalena’s service was exceptional. My mum has food issues that can be a challenge. Shalena could not have been more accommodating.
Mum often avoids going for dinner due to her FOD diet
Mum was so happy to be so well taken care. Thank you for the exceptional service.
They have a special deep fryers to accommodate people who are celiac and willing to adjust a dish to suit my mums food challenges.
Cheers
While it was great they had gluten free waffle options, you only get 1 Belgium waffle and if you’re hungry, it won’t be enough. An order of thick cut bacon on the side helped fill the void. Oat milk for our coffees was nice, and the coffee cup sizes are kind of small given the $5 charge. Overall, it was decent - it was a breakfast start to a busy morning - but we’d likely go elsewhere for more value and larger portions.
Great celiac safe barbecue place! Everything is GF except waffles and regular buns, but they take precautions to keep celiac customers safe (changing gloves, etc). They have fantastic fried chicken which is GF, fried only with fries (also GF), and the regular bbq things. Great sandwiches, poutine, and fried chicken!
FOOD POISONING ALERT:
I went to Finn’s seafood chops cocktails last night in hopes to eat some fresh local seafood while visiting Victoria BC.
In short I ended up with a whole night of vomiting due to food poisoning.
I ordered the crispy skin BC sablefish for my main and I shared a dozen of their oysters.
I believe I have gotten sick from the sablefish I ordered mainly because my friend did not have any issues from the oysters and my symptoms along with the vomiting is a lot that come along with scombroid poisoning ie: tingling and burning sensations around the mouth, facial flushing, sweating, nausea, vomiting, headache, palpitations, dizziness, and rash.
Scrombroid poisoning is a
foodborne illness that typically results from eating spoiled fish.
We chose this restaurant due to the great reviews we found through our google search and the location of it being right off the harbour.
The service was wonderful, I’m not sure of our servers name but she was very kind and attentive to our orders. As I am celiac and she ensured to make sure all of our plates would not have any cross contamination.
The food was delicious, we all enjoyed our plates.
However I do question how well the fish I ate was properly handled
or if there was improper temperature control from the time of catch to consumption.
I would consider Finn’s a fine dining restaurant and I would expect for a $300 meal, the place would have top notch food quality and proper food storage and preparation. I had higher hopes for their standards.
I am on vacation and now recovering from food poisoning, this is not how I wanted to spend my time visiting B.C.
I would not come back to this restaurant nor would I recommend it. I am also turned off of eating fish for a long time now.
Feeling not impressed at the moment.
The beer was good. The service was good. Unfortunately the food was not good. We came for the gluten free fish and chips. They were heavily deep fried and over cooked with a tiny thin layer of fish. Worst fish ever. The calamari was good and fried well so why was the fish over done? They did remove the charge but dinner was a disappointment.
I explicitly asked for gluten free noodles due to an allergy, the cashier misunderstood and made gluten noodles. Spoke to owner and they weren’t willing to remake or refund :(
We needed gluten free and we were very happy to know that they have a dedicated gluten free menu and they use a dedicated gluten free fryer for their food. It can be really hard to find a lot of places like this, but this is by far my favourite place to eat in Victoria! I really want to thank everyone there who made it very easy to find safe food for us.

We took our grandson for an early dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the food. There was a gluten choice of noodles which many places don’t have. Upon leaving, we forgot our umbrella and they were so kind that after almost over a month, they still kept it for us. Very friendly staff

Location is beautiful but food was a stinker! I am gluten intolerant and the staff were not prepared at all to accommodate for my dietary needs.
I requested the salmon burger be lettuce wrapped with a salad on the side. The salmon came out with nothing but lettuce, the lettuce was not washed (I ran my finger over it and tangible dirt came off onto my finger), and the salad also had no dressing. It was just cheap greens with a small piece of salmon for almost $30.
I waited ten minutes to finally wave the waitress down and ask for mayo for the burger and dressing for the salad. The "dressing" they brought me for the salad was just straight white vinegar.
I left hungry and super disappointed, I regret not sending the food back.
I would never go back and I would recommend anyone whose toying with the idea of trying it out, to choose somewhere else.
As a celiac, this place was easy to share plates (something we don't often get to do with our friends and family). Loved all the GF options on the menu and the variety. Food was so delicious.
