The Café Brio, located in Victoria, has been a local favorite for twenty six years, serving up a rustic, Italian inspired menu. Focusing on regional products, Café Brio led by multi awarded Chef Sam Harris selects the highest quality ingredients from local sources to be used in authentic, creative dishes.

At Café Brio, everything is prepared in house. Pasta favorites include gnocchi with roasted leeks, parmesan cream and basil purée, Spaghettini with tomato, garlic, basil, olive oil and parmigiano and also our wild mushroom risotto.

Lastly the Parry Bay Lamb feature from our friends out in Metchosin is an absolute must.

Wonderful space and atmosphere. Excellent food and service. We chose the sliced tuna sashimi style and grilled scallops, and a few fresh raw oysters as an appetizer. Oysters were so fresh and wonderful and scallops superb. The tuna was presented differently than I have had before, which was delicious and so fresh. For our main dishes, the black cod and bouillabaisse were the choices made. Both were amazing. We plan to return.
