100% gluten free restaurant and the combinations of flavours and ingredients were amazing - you would never know you were missing meat - I love meat but if I could eat this every day I could easily be vegetarian. The max and cheese, green curry and enchiladas dishes were all great and we had the summertime roll which was also very tasty! Can’t wait to come back!

Absolutely incredible food!
This restaurant serves only plant based meals, mostly from local suppliers. If you want to try plant based food that isn't just raw salad bowls or pizza with nutritional yeast this is the place. My partner is a carnivore and usually opts for a big chunk of meat and yet he still raves about the food here.
Someone in the kitchen really knows what they're doing, every single ingredient is intentional and adds to the dish, the flavours are very well balanced, everything is seasoned well and rounded by an intentional variety of textures of the ingredients.
The menus are very creative and seasonal and even the drinks are so good they really stand out. Definitely try the root beer they make, it's heavenly. I also noticed that they offer a variety of gluten free beers!
This is a wonderful spot for a dinner date and for the experience we got I feel like it was a bargain even with a 25% tip.
Kudos to the whole team! A true gem! Big love to the service staff too, very kind and attentive!

Wonderful experience! The food was delicious and healthy. It was nice to know that the ingredients were local and the chef paid close attention to plating, the photos don’t do justice. Our server was also very friendly and struck up a convo with us also which felt so wholesome!

Superb, nourishing food, lovely service, delightful ambience. Attention to detail to flavors and presentation. Dedicated GF, DF, vegan, hooray! They make their own cheeses, milks, desserts, and they are phenomenal! Don't miss the medicinal fudge, it is a religious experience!

The place was pretty cool, nice decor and good vibe. The layout feels a little squished and grid-like. I was immediately met with the smell of warm dish water when I walked in, but the far table was clear of the smell.
In terms of the food, its 95% vegan with some vegetarian options available. I got the BBQ tempeh sandwich. I'm not the biggest fan of tempeh but they made it pretty well. The super green smoothie was great, just the right amount of sweetness and loaded with healthy ingredients.
Our server seemed to be having an off day so I don't feel right harshing the service. She was saying the right things, checking on us, etc. but felt very spaced out and annoyed.
Overall, I'd recommend giving it a try if you like plant based foods.

It was so good! I was obsessed with my Mac bowl and the whiskey kombucha sour. The other food we got was great too, especially the moong dal. Excellent service, lovely ambience. We got panna cotta and chocolate cake for dessert. The panna cotta was amazing, the chocolate cake was more like a chocolate bar then cake.

The most enjoyable GF meal I've had in a long time. It was a nice surprise finding out the whole menu is gluten-free, and the food was amazing. I got it delivered and the sourdough buckwheat focaccia was not only toasted (big bonus for GF), but it was still warm, and fresh! I do wish it had a stronger sourdough flavour but it was so, so, good.
The mac was delicious, super savoury and full of veggies and nuts--I did not miss dairy cheese at all. The box it came in looked small but it was stuffed full and ended up being a lot of food. It felt a little pricey for some bread and macaroni, but with my dietary restrictions, the quality, and amazing flavour it was definitely worth it.
I can't wait to eat here in person one day and try other dishes.

I had ordered takeout so I can't judge the service from inside the restaurants.
On the other hand it is the first time that I receive a boxing so well presented!
The springtide roll is crazy, hearty for the price and perfect balance between flavors and melting and crispy consistency in the mouth!
The mac when to him is a killer! 😅 it's perfectly rich, exquisite flavors with lots of vegetables and nuts, perfectly seasoned too!
I recommend this restaurant!

WOW, what an incredible experience we recently had. Delicious drinks to start. I had the carrot/beet and I'm still trying to recreate it myself at home. Fabulous! Then we had our dinners, some with delectable soup, others had bowls that we all tried, and I shared my excellent burger too. The ketchup is fantastic. Portions are generous without being too much. Their desserts always impress. The creamy, rich matcha cheesecake was out of this world. What makes all this delicious food so tasty is their excellent staff and kind owner. We'll be back again VERY soon. Thank you BE LOVE. We really feel it...

I wish I could give more starts! This is easily one of the best
Meals I have ever eaten… and it was plant based and vegan. I wish they had a cookbook. We ordered two appetizers ( Nori Fresh roll and Tacos) and has the seasonal gnocchi and the spinach Roti and split the chai cheesecake. Each item was great. The roti and the tacos were so soft and chewy that I wondered how they could be gluten free. Please make a cookbook!!!

Be Love has been my favorite restaurant since the first time we travelled to Victoria in 2016. To this day I still dream of the cauliflower “wings” which I ate often when I was pregnant a few years ago! Every spring/fall I get excited for their house-made gnocchi and dumplings. Drool worthy. The ambiance is perfect for a special night out with your partner. I love the extremely tall ceilings and homemade bar. They truly put so much into their food and always have. I love that they do seasonal menus and also have features from time to time. They use local produce and put a magical touch on each dish. Always a pleasure. Thanks Be Love.

Seriously delicious. We were there early and the place was quiet, so the service was excellent. The food was outstanding, especially the gluten free bread on the sandwich and the Mezze in particular. I thought the tacos lacked a little punch and would have liked a touch more flair or flavour in them, but that in no way detracts from a well deserved five star vegan lunch. The roast potatoes were so perfect too. Yum! Excited to take my family when they visit.

Stopped by for some lunchtime soup and was not disappointed!!
This gem of a restaurant in downtown offers extraordinary vegetarian meals… I’m not a vegetarian but I’d gladly eat here any day! The soup of the day on our visit was Potato Leek soup and it was hearty, filling, and so delicious. Definitely a spot worth coming back to!
A worthy mention - lovely staff that prioritize a comfortable dining experience above all. Thanks for the great meal!

We came here as a date dinner and it was perfect! The tables were really close to each other but it made the atmosphere really cosy and magical. Beautiful restaurant and attentive service. We ordered the soup of the day that was delicious and their tacos, the sauce was good. We also ordered the green bowl which was good but nothing too out of the norm and a little bit bland. Their pickled vegetables are homemade and one of the best I have ever tried. Their cheesecake was to die for. I love the idea of having a seasonal menu as you can tell the produce is fresh.
Stan Khan
Very nice restaurant, food is tasty and service is good. Everything here is vegan. Homemade kombucha and local ciders are a nice touch; wines are super expensive, I'm not sure why. Extensive use of nuts so if you have severe allergies I wouldn't recommend.
Emily van Gils
This place is wonderful. Our server, Mary, was a ray of sunshine - very happy and passionate about the food there. Personable, too. She asked our names and then wished us farewell using both of our names. The food was outstanding, very creative. The flavour profiles and textures worked well together. 10/10
Emmanuel Shakir
Unbelievably delicious food, it's absolutely perfect how they can turn vegan and gluten-free food to come out like this.
The service was also fantastic.
This is my wife and I favorite restaurant to eat in Victoria when we visit and we are so happy they are open back for dine in.
Joao Vitor Squillace Teixeira

Alissa Churchill Breakey
The vibrance of flavour with Vegetarian food at its finest! When we are still talking about a meal the next day...you know it’s top notch!! The service, and the creative variety in the menu is a hit with this establishment! Highly recommended.
Kathie Kämper
It was absolutely and completely awesome! A huge thank you to the waitress of another restaurant who actually sent us there � the food was delicious, there's a lot to choose from and the people are so nice and friendly (though this might just be the Canadian way :D) thank you so much for letting us have dessert even though u actually would have already been closed for over half an hour �� totally recommend and dead sad that I won't be able to come back for a looooong time�

The last few times we have eaten here the meals were swimming in oil. Very disappointing for a so called healthy vegan gluten free place to eat. No one has replied to my email and or messages about my complaint either.
Angela Dawn
Best food ever whether you are vegan or not. We have eaten here twice now and everything we've tried is delicious. Excellent service also. I highly recommend this restaurant. �
