Are they connected to the cafe on West Saanich Rd?

 

Yes, Johnson Street is their second location

That’s awesome. A friend introduced me to Mosi last month and it was great. What a hidden gem.

I hear the chef from Little Jumbo is moving on at the end of the week.

Anyone heard what’s coming up next? Remarkably talented young-ish cook!

Matt.

Staff have been informed that Millos Restarant will be closing permanently. It has been on the market since early June: https://www.remax.ca...id248551623-lst

That is one place I don’t actually think I ever stepped foot in.

Know it all.

The location of Millos is right beside 3 of Victoria's biggest hotels. I'm surprised that this alone could not sustain them.  I bet this will be empty for a while which is a shame given the prominent location.  Not too much demand for windmill themed restaurants I imagine. 

 

I wish we had some modern or high end greek restaurants in Victoria. Something like The Greek by Anatoli  from Vancouver would even be welcome.

That block is also slated for redevelopment. So Ithaka's continued existence may be contingent upon finding a new home.

Ithaka should take over the Milo's space.

We made a batch of salsa together last night and unloaded a flock of laying chickens into the new coop.

Does that count?

The facebook page wouldn’t load for me.

Millos is closing because the lease is up and the property is on the market. Ithaka can't move there for the same reason!

It counts! Also, page loads fine for me, don’t ask me to explain how or why.

The former Tandoori Flame restaurant at Royal Oak is likely under new ownership.  The establishment is now known as Fresh Tandoori Flavour:  https://freshtandoor...lavour-Menu.pdf

Not gonna lie, I love it. Never understood why places don’t replace the knobs on their ranges when they fall off and get lost.

Also, I wonder if they have natural gas and sewer?

Finally some movement at 595 Pandora, which was to be Maman Restaurant at one point. There's a BP issued for tenant improvements, no idea who the restaurateur is but I do know that the applicant is Hillel Architecture
