So quaint and comfy. The food is everything I LOVE and gently out of the way but so worth the effort.
Bringing friends Oct 7 all the way from the Cowichan Valley��
Had a great chat with the owner. The food is made with love and care and was very delicious. I love the location…the gardens are amazing!!

A perfect brunch!!! This place is cosy and people are so inviting, and serves incredibly fresh food. The host was super friendly and he made the most beautifully yummy drinks. Our server lady was so sweet, she just added to the experience. These folks take pride in what they make and do, it surly showed. And the garden was a bonus!!
All around 5 stars cafe. Very cute, great location, you also get a discount on your visit to the garden if you bring your receipt from C&Q same day. Minimum $10 per person. Great deal!
Thank you for this adorable cafe.
Super cute place, awesome staff, and beautiful presentation but unfortunately I found the food to be a bit bland and lacking. However, I LOVED the matcha latte and would definitely come back just for that.
An extremely quaint restaurant tucked in some beautiful scenery. High quality service with a delightful, gluten free menu and a presentation you won't forget. Definitely worth going out of your way.
A beautiful cafe in a beautiful garden location! They cater well to special dietary needs and have exceptional customer service. Everything tasted fresh as if it came from the garden itself. Also, their drinks are unusual and charming.
Congratulations on this amazing place! They absolutely combine the natural elements in a plate. I could say it's one of the most colourful and tasty meals I have ever tried. I consider that the chef has a lot of creativity to mix food and flowers. Great staff too!
Be aware that it could that up to 30-40 min to be served.

Charlotte and the Quail is one of my favourite places to get brunch. If you have ever had Norish you would love this place but for me personally I love the food here more! Although there isn’t a big selection on of food, they can accommodate to your dietary needs. Their drinks and food are prepared and presented so beautifully and the nice part about it is that you can pop by hpc gardens afterwards! It also feels really homey there and everyone is so so nice! I love sitting out on the patio if there’s any seats available. Here is what I ordered, I got the Bean & Eggs with Bacon and my boyfriend got the Chicken Tartine with the Soup of the Day! I don’t know where they get their Bacon from but it was so so good! I loved the Cashew Hollandaise and their Baked Beans. The sweet potatoes pairs nicely with the Hollandaise! The Chicken Tartine was good too, the soup was super yummy! As for drinks we got the Pink Rose and Matchalicious Latte.
So if you don’t want to wait in big lines for Nourish, definitely head down here!
Can’t speak highly enough about this place and has become our most favourite breakfast in Victoria. We almost always get the golden breakfast which is simply exquisite but also have had some of the specials in the past. Coffee drinks are absolutely divine- my fave is the salty latte. Staff are always delightful and the actual restaurant has gorgeous views of the gardens and really cute decor on the inside. I hope this establishment continues for many more years to come! we will always come back
They put so much care into their ingredients and flavours. But the atmosphere the staff creates is really what makes this place shine. They are so sweet and friendly each other and the clientele. It can get really busy on weekends, try coming here in a weekday to experience a relaxed west coast brunch.
To the comment below re: “inedible flowers and greens:” my dude, all restaurants serve only edible flowers/greens by FoodSafe standards… but especially this farm-to-table resto in the middle of a botanical gardens isn’t gonna cheat you 😅
