canoe brewpub

nice to feel appreciated :). my recommendation mostly comes from the atmosphere of canoe. i absolutely love the feel of this place. even though it is a very large brewpub, it offers a cozy, friendly, neighbourly feel. even though it offers a changing variety of excellent food, it has a few key menu items that you can always count on. even though you can order anything you would like with the ability of being surprised by the top notch bartenders, there is always my favorite canoe beer on tap. check out the beautiful building, accommodating staff and stay for the good times and great specials.

dissapointed. we took some relatives their for dinner last week because my wife remembered the cedar plank salmon was very good. we were told by the waiter that they don't have salmon anymore because they care about the environment. hmm. considering they were using sustainable salmon at the time this is interesting. my wife instead chose the halibut. i had the special bison hamburger with chips. my children had kids pizza.
when our dishes arrived they all looked appetizing. my wife's halibut was overcooked so it had to go back. it took an additional 25 min for her to receive her food in which the adults ate very slow not to be rude, and the only comment y the waiter was to offer her a side plate
so she could eat some of the kids pizza while she waited. this is unacceptable. when the second halibut
arrived it was undercooked as well as the white beans.
nice. my bison burger was very good, the hand cut chips however, were the poorest i have has in years.
the obviously had been double dipped and left under the heat lamps for some time. i could not chew them.
when the check came we received no discount for any of the problems. when we left (we were sitting upstairs)
i noticed a big bowl of chips under the heat lamps.
big surprise. although some of the food as good, every dish the adults were served had some problem with it.
this will be my only visit to this restaurant. too bad.

decent beer, overpriced west coast pub menu. boasting one of the nicest (and largest) patios in victoria canoe brewpub offers an array of house crafted beers and gastropub fare. although they offer an assortment of menu options their prices on some of their menu options ($16 bacon lettuce avocado & tomato sandwich with fries or salad) seem a bit steep. it is important to note however, that although this is pub fare, its obvious that canoe brewpub prides itself on using local and sustainable products wherever possible, which may explain the slightly inflated prices. if you stick to the specials though you can enjoy this this west coast gastropub as if it were any other in victoria. personal menu favorites include margherita pizza, panang noodle bowl with chicken, and their caesar salad.
one thing that annoys me slightly is their partially deconstructed salads. they are deconstructed enough to make it difficult to eat, and not deconstructed enough for there to be a point. (please message me if there is something with this half deconstruction that i maybe missing-i would love to know!)

i never liked this place before they did the re-vamp, now i love it. the food quality and atmosphere has improved tremendously and so has the service. beer is not stellar but not bad either.

my advice to local beer fans... skip the great canadian beer festival , and create your own festival (tips to follow). it's that time of year, when overpriced tickets for the great canadian beer festival go on sale, creating a stampede rush for limited su

solid brew pub with a great patio.. a great brew pub with a good wine list. don't miss out on wine tuesdays. (1/2 price wine by the glass.) see website for other daily specials. beautiful inside with high ceilings, large glass windows, and brick walls. best patio in victoria, other than having to arrive at 3:00pm to ensure a seat before the after work crowd. food is hit and miss. but the hits are surprisingly good. grilled local albacore tuna salad is outstanding. good pub grub -burgers and fries. pizza's are disappointing.

great beer but stop at # 4 though!!. for drinking associates and i, canoe is an essential victoria watering hole.

arguably boasting by far the best patio in the city. the vast two tired alfresco area has a great view overlooking the water and johnson st bridge. the best spot in town for a long summer evening( however everybody else knows this too so get there early)

the interior is very well designed with a cathedral like ceiling, exposed beams and a great décor.

canoe is a brewpub and the beer is one of its best features, offering seasonal specials and a solid regular selection. the larger and summer heffe are particularly notable! don't have too many though as nothing gets you quite as annihilated as one too many canoes!

the food is pretty decent, not as good as you would hope for or might expect. it 's a little over priced and often heavy on the grease. the unfortunate placement of the drug addicts hostel also taints such a great place, i have on more than one occasion seen users openly shooting up, no more than 100 ft from the bar.

these little issues aside canoe is great spot, day or night, rain or shine, old or young!!

great attentive staff, nice table with view.. went to the restaurant part of the canoe club and ryan the manager seated us at the upstairs balcony in the perfect spot looking down on the gorge waterway. the staff were attentive and knowledgable.
i had the grilled ahi tuna salad - artichoke, kalamata olives, soft boiled free range egg, amorosa tomato, green beans, herb salad, double smoked bacon, potatoes, lemon vinaigrette, the salad was fresh and tasty. my partner had the panang seafood bowl - fresh local halibut, mussels, manila clams, baby bok choy, scented basmati rice, grilled lime. sounded good however, he found it was a little overpriced for what it was, nothing too spectacular.

incredible beer, excellent patio, food is mediocre, service is hit and miss.

like all the others i have to say food sucks

good view and beer, bad fod and service. by choosing to enjoy a pint and the summer sun on the patio, you are virtually guaranteeing that you'll be lackadaisically served some tepid overpriced food. come for pints - but eat at home before you do!

cool location. competent pub food, good beer. like the space and the west coast modern feel.

amazing service, amazing food, probably the best cheesecake i have ever had. this is a classy place to eat with wonderful decor and atmosphere.

great place. love their caesars and their beers. i had their seafood caesar salad last time i was there and it was one of the best salads i've ever had.

all week we've been impresed by the commitment of local restaurateurs to supporting local farmers and wine makers. gentrification has taken its toll, however, at canoe brewpub , where exec sous chef chris anderson has applied the city's culinary correctne
