With its perfect view of the inner harbour, Boom + Batten’s elevated casual dining offers guests an inventive culinary experience. Savour coastal cuisine inspired by local surroundings and the chef’s global adventures.

Fireside Grill
Take a drive along West Saanich Road and visit the gorgeous patio at Fireside Grill. This local favourite operates out of a restored estate home and offers farm-to-table cuisine paired with a unique ambiance (think: fireplaces – many many fireplaces!). The atmosphere is perfect and the food is delectable – and don’t the locals know it. In 2021, Fireside Grill racked up five Times Colonist Reader’s Choice Awards – one of them being Best Patio and a second one, Best Happy Hour!

Irish Times Pub
10 Acres Restaurants
Some of the hottest patios in town! The farm-to-table 10 Acres restaurants are all about embracing our island’s patio culture. Each patio is unique in its location and overall dining vibe. For 10 Acres Commons, we recommend ordering an Aperol Spritz and dynamite sushi – one of the only places in Victoria you can enjoy sushi alfresco! The tree-covered 10 Acres Bistro patio is a great place to try a pasta dish – all pasta at 10 Acres restaurants is made in-house. 10 Acres at the Pier faces stretching views of open water, so ordering seafood only feels right. Try their famous seafood pasta or their mussels!
