We had a family lunch at the Ruby. The food was good. We enjoyed breakfasts, soups & salads. Great service - superb attention to dairy allergy and they even turned the music down (maybe always keep it lower?). Love the decor and homey feel. Thank you.

We showed up 30 minutes before closing and the friendly staff got us seated for a table of 8. The service was great and everyone regally enjoyed their meals. A great combination of both healthy and comfort options. And the comfort food is fresh and as healthy as fat and carbs could be made. Def recommend stopping by.

The choice brunch joint in downtown Victoria!
On our way for a South West Island retreat on a Thursday, we made a stop at the Ruby on Johnson around 10am and despite a brief line, were seated within 10 minutes (party of 2). We were immediately enthralled with the quaint and comfortable homestyle aesthetic and CCR album playing over vinyl. The food and service was even better! Our server, Lauren, served us the Mexican Eggs Benedict and the Traditional Eggs Benedict (with gluten free modifications). Food was absolutely delicious and downright filling.
We'll certainly be back for round 2!

So glad we went there on a non busy Friday instead of lining up on the weekend with our hangry toddler. All plates and cocktails were amazing and so was the service! Highly recommend and will gladly go back on our next trip to Victoria for sure. 10/10

Amazing spot for breakfast/ lunch/ brunch. The food here has massive servings and is super filling. The staff are kind and social and make sure you're cared for. Try the Mama Fried Egg Benny, you will not regret it!

It took a long time between ordering and actually getting our food.
The food was ok, nothing out of the ordinary but really enjoyed the coffee.

What a great spot for some breakfast! Welcoming staff, cozy atmosphere, great coffee and cappuccino, staff go above and beyond to accommodate customizations and time accommodations. All their shredded hash breakfasts are absolutely delicious and packed with nutrition, I personally ask for well done hash so it’s nice and sharp when they flip it over.

The meals we ordered were awesome, but man, it took forever for our food to arrive. I was starving and totally forgot to snap a pic! 🤣 But hey, it was absolutely delicious, no complaints there. The restaurant had such a cool vibe, and my kids had a blast posing with all the animal decorations for pictures.

We had the waffles and the bacon & eggs, both were delicious and the coffee was superb, service was exceptional.

Absolutely perfect breakfast spot! Wide selection (including about 10 choices for eggs Benedict), really good coffee drinks, and super friendly service. The restaurant is right off the lobby of the Best Western Plus. Highly recommend the hashes, bennies and standard breakfast.

This place is seriously the best, must go-to breakfast places on the island. The food, atmosphere, and service is beyond incredible! There’s great music, warm vibes, and it isn’t too loud despite it being packed, rightfully so :)

This just may have been the best breakfast I've ever ordered at a restaurant. We ordered the berry waffles and the poutine benny and my oh my were they delicious. The contrast between the sweet and savory meals was delightful (my wife and I shared our meals). The waffles were honestly the best waffles I have ever eaten. Each bite nearly brought a tear to my eye from being so tasty. The only complaint is that I live about 1000 miles away from The Ruby 😞. This restaurant alone tempts me to uproot my family and move to Victoria just to eat breakfast here every week.
A side note, we were with our 17 month old baby and the staff was sooo kind and accommodating with him.

You definitely gotta try this out!! We knew this diner has a special history which I can tell why locals keep coming back. Mesmerizing decor and menu is extensive; it was hard to decide where to sit and what to order. We tried their delicious breakfast menu. Generous portion and we were so full that we needed to walk it out. The staff was humble and all their recommendations were spot on. Must try !!
