Great diner breakfast! All day breakfast on Sunday with a good menu selection. I had an omelette which was perfect ... My mums scrambled eggs "looked like " an omelette too... I'm not convinced any restaurant can really do proper scrambled eggs ...the toast was perfectly toasted ... That's how I test breakfast places ! Not kidding. We'd go back here. Service v friendly.

Dakota Cafe is "Oh So Sweet". Although Dakota Cafe is always filled wall to wall, I don't believe enough people know about this awesome restaurant! The location and staff are great. You have a gorgeous view across teh airport, to the hills and mountains beyond. The staff are always quick and always have a smile. Okay, now those two important points are aside. Let's get to the meat of the review. The food. It is one of my favorite restaurants in Sidney and the surrounding area. It has one of my absolutely favorite burgers that hits the spot everytime! It's called the "Oh So Sweet" Burger, and you had better believe it! It's a hand made patty, not the revolting sausage tasting, biscuit hard, frozen patties some places weakly attempt to pawn off as "food" *cough* woodpulp! *cough*. It's always a tender, well seasoned patty, lightly chared at the fringes to give it the open-flame taste, and juicy on the inside. On top, you are entreated to a layer of sweet/tangy carmelized onions, covered by melted, shredded, cheddar and swiss I think. a little bit of tomato, fresh red onion, and lettuce, (NOT iceberg thankfully) are present to justify having some "veggies" with your meal. a small amount of mayo on top of all that. The bun, is a light, whole weat bun, that is lightly buttered and toasted, and always fresh, that I've had over the past 8 years. The whole combination is a flavorful, succulent, pleasing combination. The fries... I would have to comfortably say that the fries at Dakota Cafe are probably the best on the peninsula. They are the kind that are rough and crispy on the outside, and tender and delicious on the inside. Maybe not the healthiest of fries... but if you want fries, there is nothing more satisfying. I've also had other items on their menu, such as their War Wonton soup, which is fresh and tasty every time. I see many, many partons ordering a huge bowl of it at lunch. To sum up the several items on the menu that I've enjoyed, the food is of a high caliber that might almost be unexpected from an out-of-the-way restaurant. All in all, I recommend Dakota's to just about everyone I know who eats food. The Dakota Cafe is located at the foot of the Victoria Airport Control tower, in the same building as the Victorai Flying Club. 101-1852 Canso Road, Sidney, B.C.

Reasonable price, good value. A great spot to watch the activity at the airport. The menu offering is very good as vegetarians can usually find a few items which will appeal.
Their WonTon of Wednesday & Friday is worth the drive.
