Absolutely amazing.....from the wonderful manager ...to the great waitress! And let’s not forget the Chef....Then came the meal...then came the dessert.....could not recommend this establishment more...incredibly well done. Those of us from Alberta and Ontario....commend you
The 7 course tasting menu was diverse and each course was fit for a meal unto itself, with near perfect wine pairings. This place is a jewel. The service was attentive and informative. We’ll be back!
Second time visit, first time was to try their bakery about 7-8 months ago.
The food is good, cocktails are also good.
But the portion size is small, so you have to order at least 5 items if you are sharing between 3 people.
The best part is organic food so I guess the pricing could be justified, but not for the portion size.
Service was great, and very attentive for all tables including ours.
Upscale small bites/pizza. Great selection and it was all well assembled, prepared and presented. A must for pizza fans, and our small plates were well portioned and all offered well contrasted flavors. Ask your wait staff for advice, we did and had a great meal. Well worth a visit.
Very fresh and flavourful food but maybe it's because we ordered too much cured meats, the pepperoni pizza was too salty for me by the time it came at the end. Nonetheless I would try them again next time I'm in town. The service was excellent, prompt and attentive but not in a hovering way. Good value overall too compared to similar restaurants in Vancouver.

The vibes of this place are phenomenal - in the morning it smells exactly like the bakeries I visited in Paris as a teenager, and the lighting is so soft and warm and inviting. Loved all the plants and the decor. Shout out to the whistling chef in the back, too - it added a nice touch to the morning atmosphere :) I would gladly spend a quiet weekend morning reading here with coffee and pastries.
That being said, everything's fairly expensive, and I didn't find what we ate particularly notable for its price. The espresso was $4.50 but wasn't particularly rich and smooth - pretty bitter actually. The quiche tasted alright but was the texture of pudding, which was a little off-putting. The pastries (we got a pain au chocolat and a raspberry danish) were very tasty though - soft, buttery, and flaky. And although we didn't try them, the pre-made sandwiches they have for lunches look tasty and like a great size for a lunch.
Also, not a common thing to note, but I actually really liked their bathroom arrangement. Three private unisex stalls rooms each with fully closing doors, one of them with its own sink + changing table for babies, and then there was a second communal sink in the area outside the stalls which I really liked for being able to quickly wash your hands before eating.
Took my parents out for their anniversary, and it was the best decision.
- unique atmosphere, soft lighting and not too much ambient noise
- extremely fresh ingredients prepared into harmonious dishes
- friendly staff, had to wait a little until our drinks however. Could’ve been just a shift change.
- beautiful presentation and dishware.
Overall 10/10 experience. Would definitely visit again to try new menus.
One of the best meals I've had all year - one that I am still thinking about now a week after our trip. We were there for a special occasion and the whole experience was wonderful from the food to the exciting wine list to the personable service. The food was so good I wish I could have it more often - the porchetta di testa melting from the residual heat of the spaghetti and the pork chop was perfection - juicy, flavourful but with a nice caramelized crust. Also don't sleep on the pizza as they are know for their wood fired oven and doughs.
I actually did not know they were a living wage restaurant (ie gratuities are optional) so was surprised when we got the bill. They definitely deserve to have a full house every night, which is why I'm writing this review (🤞 I can still get a reservation next time)!
The food is fresh and delicious! The specialize in the farm to table style. Freshly baked bread is a nice treat. We had tasting menu and wine pairing and I would definitely recommend it
Agrius is one of the very best high-end restaurants in Victoria. It is innovative, contemporary, and exceptionally good at bringing fresh, seasonal and local foods from farm to table. The service is a step above, as well, and staff are highly knowledgeable about the dishes, wines and original cocktails. Each meal in a given season is necessarily different because the chefs are continuously experimenting in creative ways. Our most recent meal there was just slightly disappointing, with oysters tasting less than perfectly fresh and deep-fried bear tooth mushrooms lacking subtlety or character. "Skin contact" white wine was astringent and tasted flat. The ling cod, however, was excellent, as were bespoke cocktails like hippie juice. Overall, still an outstanding dining option in Victoria.
Really cute restaurant and the staff were super friendly. The meats for charcuterie were all smoked in house and the veggies were all seasonal and farm to table. The kombucha was home made and was delicious!
How can I pick one favourite pizza here?!? Jasmine has curated an exciting wine list that rivals the city's best in its low intervention/natural wine features. Pizza and wine here truly does equal divine. Get three and bring a slice of each home.
