Staff were beyond nice, not just for show. Very much got the feeling they actually cared. Oh and the waffle was unreal. Homemade seasonal berry changes from time to time and this time i got strawberry with a hint of rhubarb. Lemon whipped cream cheese underneath every waffle, even the bottom one!
What a great find! Such great service, fun atmosphere and OMG the food!!! I think I have found a new breakfast favourite when in Victoria! A must try is the lavender latte! So many delicious dishes to choose from. We didn't see 1 unhappy customer while here and we loved every moment!
1 word: wow. I was unbelievably impressed by my experience at The Ruby. A part of the lobby of The Zed hotel, The Ruby is a cozy and eclectic restaurant that oozes character. I was blessed to be able to order a Fried Chicken Benny which was very unique and incredibly tasty. I enjoyed my benny in combination with a well-prepared Bailey's coffee that was all served by a very kind and courteous waitress who ensured we had a wonderful experience. Just be prepared to wait during peak hours as it can fill up quickly, but I promise it is worth it. Overall, I was incredibly impressed by the food and experience and would recommend it to anyone.
Wonderful place. My husband had the homemade sausage Benny and said it was one of the top he has ever had. I had the shredded duck with crispy onions and brie on a homemade biscuit, outstanding. It has been a couple of hours and we are still thinking about how good it was. Definitely a place to check out.
Cute lil’ spot. Nothing to complain about! I expected breakfast sausage but it was more like one big brat. My fault for not asking for clarification. Vanilla latte was good but not very vanilla-y.
Went here for brunch. The food was amazing & the portions were huge! The potatoes are the perfect crispy fluffy ratio. The duck just fell off the bone & the sauce that same with it paired perfectly well. Would definitely go back & recommended. Only downside is that it's small so not lots of seating, but still worth a visit. The staff were also helpful & friendly :)
Tacos, chicken and waffles, duck hash and the meal or the day ! Very good, but a long wait. You must be patient if you want to come here, can take 30-40 min wait. But it has a nice sitting area. Good food though, was worth the wait.
Love this spot.
It’s always busy but if you get there early you can get in right away.
Food is fresh local and oh so good. The hot sauce, oh boy! Definitely homemade with all sorts of love.
The staff are friendly and work great as a team supporting each other.
Very understanding and accommodating for those of use that have allergies.
It was perfect place with baby. My friend took her 10 weeks girl. The staffs was so nice and kind. We ordered 3 kinds of dishes. All good. Yummy with good coffee! It was first time visiting. Park also convinced.
What an awesome little gem hidden in plain sight, lol! Didn't have to wait too long for a table. Service was top notch, friendly, and prompt. I'm a Waffle 🧇/ Pancake 🥞 girl and The Ruby did not disappoint me. Caramelized bananas 🍌, roasted pecans and bourbon syrup, on top of a stack of mouth watering waffles 🧇. Hubby had an omelet with bacon 🥓, mushrooms 🍄, and cheese 🧀.
Thank you Ruby!!!! ✌️
