I can't seem to find it and not sure if it was posted but does anyone know the opening day for Denny's in Colwood? I see all their job opening listings are down.

Looks like there is some recent action in the former Cafe Spresso location in Vic West.  Some new furniture stacked in the space, as well as Mech/Elec work being done in the adjacent vacant space (corner of the bldg facing Tyee/Harbour intersection).  Doesn't look like they've taken down the demising wall between the spaces, but l haven't taken a super close look, just walking by.

 

Anyone know what the latest news is?

Thanks I saw these signs up but could not or bother to read them from "the Rocket" across the street. Pretty ugly signs ...

Ugly signs is a bad sign in itself. This was too bad. The original openers had a good doner. They sold pretty quick and then it slid down hill fast! I'm surprised that more newbie restaurant owners don't watch Gordon Ramsey' Kitchen nightmares. It's all spelled out there for them. Simple, fresh, clean, local, passion....

my work colleague described his last experience there with the last operator. He ordered some meat from the turning spit and it was hard and dry. He mentioned the state of the beef when leaving and the owners response was that if he had come earlier it would have been fine and charged him full price. classy

I noticed that too. I pass by there often enough so I'll keep an eye on it. I did notice that the Colliers For Lease sign has been down since last week or thereabouts.


Know it all.

The Malahat Chalet Restaurant is open again. The meal we had was pretty good.

 

$12 burger and a million dollar view.

Someone should walk down the hill one night and cut down that tree.

^ It's on Yates just West of Blanshard next to the Brickyard and near the Odeon. I loved this place when it first opened but it did really go downhill. Hoping the new owners will restore it to it's former glory - perhaps the only decent falafel in Victoria (Aegean cafe's isn't quite there).

Speaking of which, we really need a good Lebanese restaurant here (something like nuba in Vancouver would be perfect).

Nuba is fantastic--we we've been to both Vancouver locations. There's nothing here quite like it. I would love to see it in the Smoken Bones location at the Hudson.

I used to live by the nuba cafe and was a regular for take out or eat in. Try to get there every time I make it to Vancouver - they now have more than 2 locations. If I had any experience in restaurants/food industry I would be trying to bring a franchise here.

Smoken Bones would be a great spot. So would a commercial space at the Union or Janion.
