Broughton Street Deli - Breakfast, Lunch & Catering — Restaurant in Victoria

This is a family-owned deli that's been in operation since 2006. My wife and I had the opportunity to talk to the owners for a bit on every visit (we made several), and I'm pleased to report they are a very nice, very friendly, and very helpful young couple, who made us excellent food and gave us good advice on things to see and do around Victoria's Inner Harbour.

We found this place while surfing the net for a place to eat breakfast near our hotel. I'd picked a few candidates based on menu and reviews, and this was the closest, so we walked up and tried it. I am so glad we did! On that first morning, my wife had a breakfast sandwich and I had their "meat lovers" omelette (three egg omelette with various meats, white cheddar and onions served with home-fried potatos). Breakfast was delivered fast and it was delicious.

This restaurant also offers a smoked brisket sandwich that they are very proud of. It sounded delicious, so the next day my wife and I returned at lunch time, with me fully intending to get that sandwich. However, the omelette from the day before was so excellent, I just couldn't resist ordering it again. My wife ordered the Vietnamese Baguette with chicken, and spent the rest of the day raving about it. In fact, she insisted we stop by there again the next day, so she could repeat on that sandwich. This was my opportunity to finally try the Montreal smoked brisket... but I didn't. That meat lover's omelette was calling me again, and once again I could not resist. Excellent! Maybe next time we are in Victoria I'll finally get to try the brisket. I expect it will be as good as it sounds, and I am looking forward to it. I would love to try...

Literally my favourite place to get food in Victoria. The staff is extremely friendly and the food is THE BEST there is. Always SUPER FRESH AND TASTY. my favourite things are their Montreal meat sandwich with their homemade sweet and spic. Plus their chicken noodle soup reminds me of something my mom makes when I’m sick but even better. ( sorry mom). The chicken strips are like no others you’ve had in the city. They are buttery and taste like the are made fresh as well. The portions are HUGE and I can’t get over how delicious everything is. I’ve tried quite a few of the deserts and of course they do not disappoint. They taste homemade and so fresh. The Halong Bay Salad is something I tried new and of course it was exceptional like everything I’ve ever tried. Their food is worth every penny and I promise you won’t be disappointed. I’d start with the Montreal meat sandwich with homemade sweet and spicy mustard. You’ll thank me later. I’ve tried so many delis and sandwiches in Victoria since I’ve lived here my whole life and NOTHING EVEN COMES CLOSE TO THEIR INSANELY , DELICIOUS FOOD WHICH WILL HAVE YOU COMING BACK FOR MORE. I ORDER AT LEAST 1-3x a week it’s that good ( even if I don’t eat it that day I know it’s made fresh so I can keep it in my fridge for the next day or 2 and it still tastes phenomenal). Also the customer service is amazing. Tron goes above and beyond to make his customers happy. Trust me when I say it’s one of Victoria’s best kept secrets. I promise you’ll be so happy with any food item you choose and they have something for everyone...

It was one of those early morning that I left the home without breakfast. After completing some early morning errands I was happy to see their sandwich board and decided to give it a shot. Glad I did.

Upon walking up to the enterance, I noticed a couple tables outside which was perfect considering it was a beautiful morning - sun shining and warm.

Once inside, the owner was very welcoming and the menu was easy to read. Looking around, the establishment has excellent covid safety measures in place while keeping it casual and preventing any awkwardness. We're all adapting to this new normal so it really a pleasure to be able to enter an establishment without feeling like covid is right there ready to attack you.

Please keep in mind, the owner has all the covid safety measures in place, yet the restaurant is still very inviting.

As for the food, I order a club sandwich with fries. One the best club sandwiches I've had in a long time. Fresh bread, fresh ingredients quick from time of order to time of food being placed in front of me.

Even though I chose to sit outside, the owner still made the effort to come out there to ensure I was enjoying the meal and had everything I desired.

I've walked by the sandwich board that he has on Douglas St @ Broughton St so many times yet haven't ventured in there before. Not sure what it was about this morning, but I'm glad I did and will definitely be back when I'm...
