The Village Restaurant — Restaurant in Saanich

First of all let me start off by saying that The Village is one of my favourite restaurants in the city! I’d been going to the original Estevan St location for a while and then when the Royal Oak location opened up close to where I live I was ecstatic! I’m there at least once a week for breakfast or brunch!

I’ve had their Eggs Bennies (many varieties) and their potato latkes are a great option to a bagel. I’ve enjoyed their Shakahouka many times. But my go-to is their hash! The Royal Oak Hash was my regular, then recently it’s been the feature hash with shredded chicken, grilled veggies and kale, corn and black bean salsa, and a couple poached eggs all on top of their delicious potatoes! So tasty, so satisfying and always fresh and delicious!

The Village always serves unique twists on the usual. They have their regular menu and a weekly feature sheet so there’s always options for everyone. Their coffee and espresso drinks are always tasty too.

The biggest thing about The Village (no matter which location) is the friendly service! The staff are always smiling from the moment they greet and seat you to when they take your order and bring your food to when you finish and pay the bill, the staff are always smiling! They really love what they do...

Delicious brunch and perfect but not 'too perfect' service. I brought my family there during the weekend brunch rush. There were 8 of us, including one who uses a wheelchair. We were able to make a reservation- unusual for a brunch spot and the menu suited everyone from risk taking foodies to seriously risk averse eaters. Service was quick and attentive but not doting or phony. I had an americano and a smoked salmon omelet. They offered goat cheese as a substitute for cow feta and housemade latke instead of toast (to accommodate me). It was served with fresh fruit, nicely plated. Everyone's eggs came the way they asked, which is hard to do for a table of eight! The americano was perfect; the omelet was delicious and the I ate the latke with real crunchy peanut butter and housemade hot sauce, bringing the meal to a crescendo of unique combinations. Most important, the restaurant doesn't seem to be trying too hard. They make great food and the atmosphere is hip without a hint of pretension. Super happy to have businesses like this in my...
