Marilena | Victoria’s 4.7-Star Hidden Gem 💎
This is THE spot I take visiting friends—luxe ambiance, impeccable dishes, and an entrance so discreet, you’d miss it without a guide! ✨ Why It’s Special Part of a high-end restaurant group (with locations in Vancouver + NYC). Every detail dazzles—from artful plating to flawless service. Book ahead (or end up at the sushi bar—still great, but not the full experience!). 🍽️ Must-Order Dishes (See Pics Above!) 1️⃣ Truffle Uni Pasta 🍝 Creamy, briny, and truffle-showered—pure indulgence. 2️⃣ A5 Wagyu Nigiri 🍣 Melt-in-your-mouth + gold leaf garnish (yes, really). 3️⃣ Scallop Crudo 🌊 Yuzu-kosho dressing + edible flowers = chef’s kiss. 4️⃣ Matcha Tiramisu 🍵 Lighter than classic, with bitter-sweet balance. 📍 Marilena 1525 Douglas St, Victoria 💰Worth every penny for special occasions!) #VictoriaFineDining #FoodieHeaven #UvicEats
