đ¨đŚ Victoria 4.7 high score. Super beautiful food
This is hands down the restaurant Iâd choose to treat friends when they visitâno second thoughts! ⨠The ambiance is pure elegance, with a vibe that feels both upscale and welcoming. Honestly, I never wouldâve found the entrance on my own if someone hadnât guided me. Itâs tucked away in such a charming (and slightly sneaky) spotâyouâd walk right past it without a heads-up! đľâđŤ You can instantly tell itâs backed by a major, well - established groupâevery inch of the decor and design screams âthoughtful luxury.â From the sleek lighting fixtures that cast a warm, inviting glow, to the carefully curated art on the walls that adds a touch of sophistication, and even the little details like the table settings with their fine linens and polished cutlery, itâs clear no expense was spared to make the space feel special. And get thisâtheyâre not just a local gem! Theyâve got multiple locations in Vancouver, plus two in New York: Oceans and Carlotto. Talk about making a mark! đ˛ Now, the food? Chefâs kissđ˝ď¸, through and through. What stands out most is how much care they put into every detailâwhether itâs the balance of flavors in each dish or the way itâs plated, itâs all absolutely flawless. Each bite feels intentional, like the chefs really took time to craft something thatâs not just tasty, but memorable. For example, the presentation of their dishes is like a work of art, with colors and textures that are as pleasing to the eye as the flavors are to the palate. Pro tip, though: book online way in advance! This place is popular for a reason, and if you show up without a reservation, your only option might be the sushi counter (which is coolâyou get to watch the chefs work their magic đ¨âđł, but the main dining area, with its cozy booths and soft lighting, is worth aiming for). đ Trust me, if youâre in Victoria and want to impress someone (or just treat yourself to a fantastic meal), this is the spot. Check out the recommended dishes in the pics aboveâyou wonât regret a single order! đ˝ď¸ đ Marilena 1525 Douglas Street, Victoria BC #LocalFoodGem #VictoriaCanada #VancouverIsland #VancouverDayTrips #VictoriaBC #UVic
