I don't know if there is already a forum for this but I would be interested in people's reviews of meals at this event.  I have looked over a fair number of menus and have not been impressed.  many offer their standard bill of fare; no adventuresome culinary treats.  I would have thought that chefs would use this opportunity to spread their wings and outdo the other guy.  reports of good value would be appreciated.

The launch tonight was very good.  Held at Bayview Roundhouse.  Somewhat cool (temp) inside though.  Good crowd turnout.

 

Varied food with some exceptional samples. Aura, Fireside Grill, Empress Room, Steamhouse and Bella Montagna to name a few. Would of liked to see a few more restaurants represented.

 

I was impressed with the number of wineries/vineyards and breweries that were there.

...Saveur is #1 of 900 in Victoria.

Fodors rather likes Brasserie L'École. In fact their favourite four are all downtown: http://www.fodors.co...s/fodors-choice.

None of these are outside the CoV: https://www.narcity....ed-eat-victoria

And Lonely Planet recommends these: https://www.lonelypl.../poi-eat/361274

Are those actual customers rating them, or food critics. I go with the people!

A little of both I suspect. Regardless, the consensus is that the best restaurants are in the CoV.

What about Sooke Harbour House?

Know it all.

From Tripadvisor

So I guess there are at least 5 preferred restaurants in Sooke!

Had lunch today at the Sea Glass restaurant out at the Van Isle Marina. Service and food were both excellent.
