Nice and cozy on a rainy Monday evening. Love getting the charcuterie board, maybe they change the options on it seasonally, or maybe the charcuterie board differs if you're at the Bistro or the Commons, but I noticed a difference in the variety of cheeses and meats served since I last ordered it a couple years ago, still good though. They have happy hour specials, lots of nice cocktails. The got alcohol free drinks too, nice to have choices, I remember their ceaser being good though. A nice spot to eat at in Victoria, made mostly with local grown island ingredients. The chocolate ice cream tasted similar to a Wendy's frosty.

Having just arrived in Victoria from Toronto on holiday, we asked our hotel check-in clerk where to go for lunch and they suggested this nearby locally-sourced farm-to-table restaurant. As we arrived at the restaurant, the person just ahead of us turned around and strongly recommended the chicken pot pie, so I ordered it. He was right - it was truly the best I’ve ever eaten, topped with perfect melt-in-your-mouth puff pastry. Even the side vegetables were spectacular - so fresh and tasty. My vegetarian husband had the avocado toast with perfectly cooked sunnyside-up eggs under lots of fresh greens and he was impressed by the outstanding quality. We also shared a wonderful crispy “potatoes au gratin” appetizer with creamy, delicious aioli, all accompanied by the excellent cold, crisp house lager. We will definitely be back as this place is a gem! Special thanks to the nice, welcoming stranger ahead of us, for recommending my memorable, truly delicious menu choice.

Hands down the best restaurant that I experienced during my recent week long trip to Victoria. This establishment is defined both by its incredible food and unmatched service. Everything on the menu was amazing, we went for brunch once and dinner three times during our week visit. Every time we went we were greeted with a kind and friendly attitude by everyone. As we became repeat customers the servers and bartender recognized us and happily welcomed us back each time. You can't miss with any appetizer, entree, desert, or drink from either the brunch or dinner menu. This is a must visit restaurant for anyone visiting the city.

Impressed by the steamed clams and mussels - very flavorful. The omelette and chicken pot pie are both very good too. Love the farm to table concept. Not to confuse this restaurant with 10 acre Commons. We walked into the wrong restaurant at first...

Wow what an amazing place!!!! We were there for a weekend and it was great. Everything was spot on and Anup was knowledgeable and helped us without hovering around along with our server. We will definitely be back

Had an amazing evening at 10 acres last night! The patio was the perfect spot to enjoy a beautiful night. I ordered the steak and a glass of Merlot from the Okanagan — the pairing was incredible. Everything was cooked perfectly and the wine really brought it all together. Daniel looked after us and made sure we had everything we needed without interrupting the vibe. Can’t wait to come back!

Had a wonderful experience at 10 Acres Bistro. The interior is absolutely stunning - spacious, modern, and cozy all at once. It has such a welcoming vibe!! The food truly lives up to the “farm-to-table” promise. Everything tasted fresh, vibrant, and thoughtfully prepared. You can really tell the ingredients are high quality. Service was smooth and friendly, and the overall atmosphere just felt relaxing and refined. A perfect spot for a date night or a leisurely lunch. Definitely one of my new favorites in Victoria!

Airy dining space with a seasonally appropriate menu. Great service - friendly and informed. Good menu with many specials. My Farm Salad had a lemony hummus, perfectly cooked beets and firm lentils, with startlingly red but delicious onion on top. Very tasty and a perfect portion size. I also tried the spaghetti Bolognese, pasta was perfect and came with a generous portion of sauce. Lovely meal, well done 10 Acres!
