Canoe Brewpub - Victoria

The food is decent but I go here primarily for the patio and the view, sometimes for a pitcher with friends to enjoy a sunny day. It's a massive building with a restaurant, a pub section and easily one of my favourite patios in the city.

My partner and I went to Canoe Brewpub for lunch and we were very impressed. I ordered their quick lunch option which was a chicken salad sandwich with cranberries and apples, served with a side salad and potato soup. My boyfriend had the Canoe Burger with fries. Both dishes were delicious. We also enjoyed the beer, trying the watermelon and white IPA specials as well as the pale ale, all of which were tasty. Our server was fantastic - very accommodating and friendly.

Great harbour view and classy ambiance. Tasty craft brewed beer (but no fruity beer option, not even in a bottle, despite it being a relatively fairweather day in April). Food was quite inspired, with some unique culinary flair great visual presentation of the salads, and soup had an abundance of fresh dill and other lovely herbs. But, I would have preferred more vegetarian options. I agree with opinions below that this place could go from a 70% to a 95% with a bit more variety in their food and beverage options!

Live music hot spot on the water. Large venue, with indoor and outdoor spaces away from the stage if you need a quiet table. Multiple bars, ample seating, good drinks.

The location and stunning water views of this place are unlike anywhere else in Victoria I've been. It's a great idea to have heat lamps and blankets on every chair, being on the water it can get a little chilly. <br/ <br/ The wait staff are friendly and helpful in making suggestions as to what is good on the menu. <br/ <br/ My dad got their Aussie burger when it was still a part of the menu and ranted and raved about how good it was. I've had their steak frites and short rib tacos, both of which were incredibly well done. We really enjoy coming here when we're in Victoria.
