Reviews of Be Love (Catering)

Martin Logsdon

(Translated) Very good, good atmosphere and good service (Original) Très bon, bonne ambiance et bon service

Matt Amedro

Try the beetroot burger! Overall it was a great eating experience. I loved the fermented foods theme they have going on and the food was presented beautifully. Ingredients were sourced locally and the bar was lined with offerings from local breweries and distilleries. Will definitely return on my next visit to Victoria.

Lars Mjaaland

Great service! Fantastic food!!

Ethan Pullan

Great food and friendly staff. The Mac and cheese is my favourite!

cwbyjnks1

This quaint cozy place has the best plant based food menu items I have ever had. The detox juices are excellent and the staff are welcoming and kind( Tall blond waiter was very nice). Would recommend trying this place.

Liesl Dykeman

Excellent plant based restaurant. The tagine was very good with exquisite attention to detail, who wouldn't love the papadom tower rising out of the top? The crème brulè was also very tasty. Service was first rate, always attending to me immediately even though the place was packed with customers. Would highly recommend.

GH

Great vegan food and lots of really healthy options that leave you feeling great.

François-Michel Brière

Fantastic food that's really unique and leaves you feeling good. The service is quite attentive and they are very accommodating. It is a bit crowded in terms of layout. One of my favourite places to take people visiting town; it's a really special unique spot.

andrew carrier

The food was excellent and the service was prompt. Would recommend this restaurant if you enjoy vegetarian food.

Krissy Brickenden

The Mac n' cheese was very good!

Giulio Piccioli

Having a dairy allergy makes it so I often miss out on great restaurant experiences as soon many places with cook with butter, have all their best meals and desserts smothered in dairy. Be Love makes me feel like my food requirements are their central focus! Tasty “cheesecakes” and an original menu that is healthy, a food portion and full of flavour. They also have an extensive drink menu. I love this place!

Lana Allen

Great food and fantastic staff Thanks so much????

Aspen Knight

I'm not a vegetarian and don't think I've ever chosen to eat vegetarian when eating out, but I'm glad I had the chance to find Be Love. Lots of filling dishes, and due to recent allergy issues, I'm so glad they offer dishes that are all made from scratch. The kimchi is really good (I especially liked it with the potatoes) and the mac n cheese had TONS of veggies, which I really wanted after being in the road for two days. Thanks for being open later, too, so I could still get dinner after driving all day!

James Willms

Came for brunch on Sunday ... could not have left happier people. Food was amazing and the service was fabulous too! Be Love never disappoints!

Ricardo Nichols

It was fine... Kinda cramped, but a good atmosphere. They're trying, and it was by no means bad, but I would CERTAINLY miss meat, that's for sure.

Millennial Motherhood

Wow, lots of love and quality goes into their good. When they first opened the menu was a little to on the raw foods side for me but they have an incredible mix of raw and cooked food now. Their desserts are heavenly. I love their nettle perogies which are on a seasonal menu. Innovative and exceptional drinks and food. Really nice atmosphere and wonderful staff. Can't miss with be love!

Clare Pederson

Fantastic vegan food, great service, very reasonable prices.

Leah Bauer (Vegan Field Guide)

Meal type

Wiebo Troost

I don't think 5 stars does the vegan benedict justice. I'm drooling just thinking of it again. So good. So. So good.

Spencer Goldade

Excellent ????

Jim Black

Great find, it is so hard to find a place I can order my raw food at and have a mostly vegan menu (except on weekend breakfast but just eggs). I love the staff food and atmosphere. I would live here if I could.

Shadya Bruttin

Amazing. Mac and cheese is the best!

Melissa Zuyderduyn

Vegetarian for 15 years, never been so disappointed at a veg restaurant. Measly undersized portions, flavourless 'benny', soggy potatoes with some off flavour. Waitress was polite, but did not even check in during the meal. Feelings were shared by the 4 of us at the table on the flavour and quantity.

Amy Baugh

Prepared to be shocked ????! Amazing food. Full of flavors and audacious combination of local ingredients. These dishes are truly made with love.

Petr Bondarev

What a find! Amazing ingredients for fresh, local, super tasty creations. Portions were good, my boyfriend and I both left full. Really wonderful to walk into a restaurant and have to make such hard decisions about which dish to eat! Normally, at other restaurants, the choice is simple....there's only one or two vegan friendly options!

Chrissy Cerminara

The mac & cheese is brilliant. This is now my favourite vegan resto in Victoria.

May Pongpitpitak

Definitely one of the best vegetarian we've ever been in Canada. Cozy atmosphere, good and fresh foods and very nice and helpful staff.

Liam Stokes

I can't say enough good things about this place.

Dannie Ward

This place is pretty good and really nice that they cater to those who are vegan/vegetarian. It does "taste healthy" though (in other words, it's not really comfort food other than maybe the mac and cheese). If you're eating keto, the ZLT (zucchini-bacon, lettuce, and tomato) is a good option.

Dr. Splashdown

An ideal place to recuperate while also indulging. To feel the innovation go for vegan/ gf versions of comfort dishes (like the Mac and cheese or cashew burrata ) over dishes that are traditionally vegan to begin with (like the veg stirfry). The elixirs and cocktails are also impressive with a number of unusual ingredients and everything is juiced on the spot.

Sarah D (EatEnergizeEvolve)

Delicious food, moderate prices, great service. Be Love is amazing as they have their ingredient lists available, for people with allergies this is key, you don't see this very often and it's quite delightful to be able to have a look at all the ingredients in everything. I've only been here once but it certainly won't be the last time, will be returning for sure 5/5.

Dom Fetherston

Tries way to hard to be trendy. Dishes are named after non-vegan options, but have zero similarities, as the restaurant substitutes ingredients it doesn't have to.

Jason Guille

Simply awesome. Everything we had was so good. Everyone would be vegan if they could eat and drink lime this all the time. I would write more but I am drooling on my phone...

Kiran Parhar

Loved the vegan mac and cheese

Ben Porcher

I love this place! Excellent food, all gluten free and vegetarian. My boyfriends mom is vegan and we come here a lot. Excellent and unique food. Definitely reccomend this place for anyone who has dietary restrictions. I ordered the Mac and cheese which is my favourite and a matcha latte! Always delicious.

Julian HEALD

Really really good food. I tried the Mac and Cheese dish. And hot chocolate. Incredible food. And friendly staff. Must try this place.

Tara von Borck

(Translated) I loved the atmosphere and the food. The staff was very helpful and welcoming, a second visit assured ????! (Original) J’ai adoré l’ambiance et la nourriture. Le personnel était très serviable et accueillant, une deuxième visite assurée ????!

Heather Watters

Amazing. I've brought many a non-vegan, here, and none of them have left disappointed. Really nice selection of beverages and also stunning desserts.

Ryan Hansen

If you like too much salt, this is the place. Wow.. we have eaten here many times and we come for healthy plant based food, but tonight was bad. Started with a mushroom soup that the server told us was salty and it certainly was. Then I had the beetroot burger and it was really salty as well. The meals were very well presented though and the service was great. Be Love let us down tonight.

Zohar Levin

Great food and service (and wine).

Marie Champagne

Excellent customer service! Delicious, creative, and healthy vegetarian food. The environment is very welcoming and the art on the wall is fabulous! If you don't know what to order, just ask! They were very helpful in picking something that worked perfectly for us.

Line Marie St Jacques

Pesto bowl and Inner Glow juice was so good. Portions are generous and flavours are—mmmmmm. Thank you for the wonderful meal. We'll definitely be back.

hangover productions

The green bowl! I'm not a vegetarian, but this dish has me coming back. And the staff are friendly.

Lia McKinnie

Service

Bharat C

Love this little gem!! Always vegan always busy. Make reservations to be sure to get in, especially during holiday and tourist seasons. The menu is fantastic and changes seasonally.

Charlene

The food was tasty and delicious.

Nabil Bennett

Everything is good. Gluten Free or Vegan, no problem delicious local sustainable food for all diets. and the deserts........

Michael Cameron

Simply great food

Amy Verma

Excellent quality and variety of vegan choices. And all of its yummy.

Justin Curran (Vicengineer)

For down town delicious Vegan fare, this is the best place.

Jeremy Unrau

Wow everything tasted incredible! It was all delicious, fresh and filling!

Chef Via Melissa

The place is cozy and have enough room even though is a relatively small place, nice vegan menu and drinks, my recommendation for non vegan people are the Pesto Benny; the price is a little high for dish and if you are in a 6+ people party, an $18 tip will be automatically charged to your final bill. Staff is friendly and the service is welcoming.

Laura Carolina

I initially did not want to write a bad review. However, when I called the restaurant they dismissed my concern and gave me attitude, rather than showing an interest in hearing feedback from customer. I ordered take out (green bowl, creamy green smoothie) for dinner and got severe food poisoning. I called to inform the restaurant and the man that answered the phone initially denied that they had the dish/smoothie I mentioned (?). He then told me I was being "presumptuous" in assuming I got food poisoning from their restaurant. He did not seem to think this could happen, since the restaurant serves plant-based food. He did not apologize, take any responsibility or show any concern for what had happened to me. I would caution anyone considering going to this restaurant as I don't expect they will take any steps to address the issue that caused my food poisoning. I know I will never go there again.

Giulio Mari

Very foodie type place with a pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. Love the reusable mason jar program!

Scott

It is not just your stomach, your mind also will feel full. So heavenly :)

Georgia Pitts

AMAZING food and experience. Never eat SO GOOD vegan food. We had the Springs roll (you have to try it) and a bowl and a sandwich. We eat cheesecake and chocolat mousse wich were so so so goooooddd !!! I want to come back every day because it's was healthy, tasty and good price. Staff very friendly.

Brian

This is my favourite vegetarian place. The food is great, the atmosphere is nice. They also make delicious drinks and yummy desserts with dairy free options!

Shaun Stephan

Very good super healthy food, a bit pricey but quality is of the essence in this place.

Yanick Leclerc

Truly nourishing food and drink. Tasty and made with love. Can't recommend this place enough.

Goldie Carlow

I have a recipe for vegan fruit roll ups...am willing to share... Oh and this is a place of magic, wonder, and whimsy. A place where nothing can go wrong, and all is right in the world. Do I dare use the word utopia? No, it's a...wait for it...foodtopia... On a more serious note, I have never had a bad thing here. Not even when I turned their sunomono vinaigrette into a drink. Please, don't try this at home, kids, unless you're a trained professional like yours truly...

Huck Baldwin

Beautiful little restaurant, nice atmosphere, decent service. Vegan poutine was wonderful as an appetizer. Our main courses took a long time to come, and everyone at our table felt they were subpar (the Portobello sandwich and the veggie burger). Seems to be occupying the "small portions of expensive health food niche". Not that I don't think this type of food has value, but I often feel restaurants who make this their shtick get away with some pretty oversold main courses. I personally wouldn't choose to come back.

michael farmer

Fantastic service, from the moment you walk in you feel like you're home. The staff was all smiles, very friendly and helpful with the menu. Great food and a beautiful environment. In my opinion, the best vegan restaurant in the city!

Ernie Urdal

This is my favourite restaurant in Victoria! Creative, superb food and great service. I want super crazy about the tacos I had on my last visit as I found the tortilla overwhelmed the rest of the taco because it was so hefty. I'll be back though...

Akasha Song

I started going to Be Love last year and it is one of my favourite spots to eat! I really enjoy the green bowl & even the love bowling donation! The service is great, the food is delicious & it's super busy all the time so I need to be strategic when I decide to go. Need to make sure it's not at rush hour!

Britt Beal

The food is good. I just didn't like the vibe they have about the tips.

Spring Waters

Best vegan mac n cheese

Andrea Lemez

My experience at Be Love was exceptional. The food, atmosphere and service were excellent. I am very excited for my next visit. Definitely a place to check out.

Rhythmicon Sound

Excellent food, great atmosphere.

Loretta Paterson

Pricey, cramped, but very good food.

Jessie

I love that the menu changes seasonally, its so exciting to see the new menu items and to try them all. We have a few favourite servers/bar staff that are gems. Current favourite items are the cauliflower wings, summer rolls, and mac n cheese. Past favourites are the house made pastas and dumplings. I love eating here because the food is healthy and they are always keeping it interesting.

Alexis Hosh

Can be a hit and a miss but mostly a hit. I love the Green Bowl. My partner had the Mac & Cheese and it made it to the top of his list for local treats.

Terri Watts

Fantastic food, exceptional service. Server was incredibly helpful. Food was superlative, lots of delicious flavours.

Meagan McKnight

Great spot! Beautiful restaurant, amazing servers. Super friendly and fast service. Food was delicious! Had the vegan burger , my friend had the gnocchi and she loved it! I wasn’t drinking so they made a special drink for me and was really really good! Def recommend it! Ohhh and the soup! Delicious!

Adam

If you’re vegan, vegetarian, or just want to try something new, then this is the place for you! Small and elegant, this place will bring your tastebuds to life with their made-from-scratch food and drinks. Their vegan Mac and Cheese is to die for! Their menu changes with the season, which I love. Treat yourself to one of their vegan desserts as well. You won’t be disappointed.

Lana Strilchuk

We stopped into port from Carnival Cruises, and although I do not reccomend cruises, this restaurant turned our trip around. The drinks were a surprise to the palette! We had the housemade cola. It tastes like a coke but with a truly healthy and natural flavor. The cauliflower wings starter made my son readdress his former dislike of the cauliflower. The main dish I had was the burger. I always get veggie burgers everywhere I go, but this one impressed me a lot more that usual. I have starred this place on my maps for a future return. I'm 100% feeling better than I did leaving the cruise... :( now back on the ship for low quality dining.

Mia Recknell

Delicious plant based foods! Really great wine selection and nice service.

Bianca Graham

Great food, lovely service

Ushko Mi

This was our first visit to Victoria BC - ever! And I cannot think of a better place to launch our inaugural trip than a dinner at Be Love. Whether you're a vegan or not, Be Love is a must-visit culinary event. No B.S. My son had the Mac (Mac n' Cheese), my daughter had the Green (a delicious bowl of healthy greens with a great sauce) and I had the Hoppers (a curry Indian dish). All of them were amazing and VERY filling. Trust me -- you won't walk out of here hungry! In addition to the outstanding food, the service was simply incredible. They explained the dishes, gave solid recommendations and were so gracious to each of us. Yes, Be Love lives up to their name on multiple levels. Try it... and Be (In) Love again!

Kate Harmony

I love Be Love. I'm not close to a vegan, nor do I devour red meat daily, however, anyone can be inspired by beautiful food. Trust me when I say, even Fred Flinstone would revel in the juicy, tasty tender care they put into the flavors of their food. The original and all inspired drink menu can stand on it's own. Put them both together and you have one amazing time with your taste buds not only satiated but singing.

Bryson Kent

Fabulous food, great atmosphere and excellent staff!

Joshua Fujimagari

Best vegetarian/vegan food I've ever had by a mile. Better than The Naam or Meet in Vancouver easily. Better than Heirloom or Acorn too I think. The dishes find a way to be creative and interesting and yet comforting and tasty all at once. My only advice is skip the sandwiches and stick with the bowls and large entrees. The drinks are also amazing.

Kindle

Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Braulio Antonio

Great food, cocktails were expensive for what we got. $85 plus tip for a meal for two with a drink each...

Nicole Gagnon

This is love at first sight and officially my vegan faith saviours. It is still my highest standard for delicious, carefully prepared and outright attentive staff. Simply, thank you!!!

Barbara Pack

This is an amazing vegan and gluten free restaurant in Victoria, BC. Their meals are freshly prepared and satiate your appetite. Their staff is friendly and service oriented. They explain how dishes are made and know all of the ingredients that make up each dish. I enjoyed their macaroni bowl that they offered and it was delicious. They offer various drinks such as smoothies, juices, cider and hot tonics. You can visit their website for more details. They also have dessert offerings that are both vegan and gf as well. I recommend this restaurant for any vegetarian or vegan when in the area. Enjoy mostly plants.

Jo A.

Delicious healthy food and drink, great staff (shout out to Annie for excellent service), and pleasing interior design. Surprisingly cool cocktail menu for such a healthy place!

Kyle Deveau

Delicious. Though the portion seems small, it's very filling. Solid quality food so expectedly pricier but definitely worth it.

Amanda Star

Tasty, very fresh and healthy. Ask for the house hot sauce!

Cali Co

Great food! Everything is gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free, and is sourced locally! The Mac and Cheese is amazing!

Hillary Violet

The Green Bowl is to die for! Even if you aren't into not eating meat... this bowl is awesome. It fills you up and tastes unreal. Would recommend and will be going back.

Craig Tompkins

OK, I'm not Vegan, but I sure love this restaurant. The food is so creative and flavorful...it's outrageous! Had the Meze platter which was a lovely mix of Mediterranean dishes. The vegan tsatziki was great. Also highly recommend the cauliflower wings, yum!

Crystal Sea

Incredible healthy and filling food. We shared a desert between 3 ppl because they are fairly large. Good pricing and large portions!

Sofia M

Excellent food. Was blown away by the "bread" - never had anything like it. Ate there two days in a row and I never do that. The ZLT was the best. Curry was a tad spicy but great flavor. All around a great experience.

He-Ping Lu

Consistently great food. Completely gluten free. Awesome service.

Adrian Uddhava

Delicious food and amazing vegan desserts

Grant Collins

Great food!

Sydney S

Friendly service and amazing food. The ZLT sandwich is great and I really like their vegan take on various foods, such as Mac & Cheese.

Sylvain Pero

Vegan food so good even meat eaters like it

Abhishek H J

Exemplary Veg restaurant ???? Must visit place if you want to surprise yourself with tasty Veg food. I had never thought Veg food can be served in this healthy way with great taste. You can feel the freshness of the veggies! Staff is very friendly in explaining the menu. Menu changes as per the season because of locally sourced ingredients available in that particular season. Prices are bit high, but worth it. Restaurant is decorated in a unique antique style. Paid limited parking available on the main street infront of the resto.

Stacey Harakas

Excellent vegan restaurant, great staff, abundant choices and eco-conscious. Do note that you may need a jar to have tap water... Thats what I overheard...

tobeamongstanimals

I've eaten here a few times, the food is okay but the service is terrible (on more than one occasion). We found a hair in our food and the server simply shrugged it off. On another outting we stood inside by the door waiting to order while completely being ignored. The guy wasn't even busy, and had clearly saw us. I recommend going to LaTaquisa next door instead of wasting your time and money at Be Love.

Brian Norwick

The food was soooo...delicious! The waitress was so nice, she suggested me to order starter instead of main if not hungry.

Benoit Messager

Loved the Mac and cheese and the coconut ice cream dessert

Thara Abelson

I don't understand how you can give this place less than a 5.... Amazing.

Abe Usher

Sooooo Delicious but make sure you bring your wallet... or your running shoes ???? no seriously though, take a walk through flavourtown

Sara Burke

Good (vegan) food suitable for most allergy sufferers. Nice atmosphere, art and heated outside (in evening). Falafel burger to die for. Great Kombucha

Jen Reiher

Love, love, love the food and the staff here!

Barbie Zipp

Nice spot for Vegan lunch. Scale 0 to 5 Food quality: 5 Portion Size: 5 Atmosphere: 3 Customer’s service: 5 Price: 3 (quite expensive) Location: 4

Karina Champion

Pleasantly surprised! Keep up the good work.

Ray Clarke-Coates

Amazing food, and friendly staff. Was travelling through with a gluten free friend and we were looking for a vegan restaurant and hit the jackpot here! The Mac and cheese here is phenomenal and worth every penny for the fresh and tasty food ????

adam turner

What a bargain! You don't need to be vegan to enjoy this place either. Gourmet food and the most expensive thing on the item is $20! I'd recommend the gnocchi.

Claire Lindsay

Mehhh I'll start with, the service was great. Super friendly and quite attentive. The food was okay. We had warm olives (best part of the meal) and chickpea fries for our appy. I had the Pad Thai and my g/f had the Spring Onion and Swede Cakes. The food certainly seemed 'fresh' but everything was greasy and surprisingly not that flavourful.

Andres Moreno

Fantastic drinks, food, and dessert. Can't ask for much more.

Laurie Borne

The food is amazing, with a menu that changes with the seasons.

Neil Neumann

(Translated) I'm not vegan but everything was exquisite, I highly recommend it (Original) No soy vegana pero todo estaba exquisito, lo recomiendo ampliamente

Sabine Johns

This is my favourite restaurant in Victoria. I've been for breakfast and dinner numerous times and I've never been disappointed. (Have also stopped in for smoothies on the go a bunch.) Everything I have had has been fresh, unique, and flavourful. It's nice to be able to go out for food and know that no matter what you're ordering, all of the ingredients are made in house and that it's going to be on the healthier side (relative to eating in the average restaurant). Be Love is one of too few vegan, or nearly vegan options in Victoria. Even when I take diehard meat eaters here, they don't really seem to notice, since everything ends up always being so delicious. Be Love's menu changes with the season and I continue to lament that I never make it back there quick enough to try everything.

Vibhav Kotriwala

I could live and dine here every night!

Luke Biles

Dine in

Anurag Sharma

Surprisingly good vegan and vegetarian food (I'm not either) I've had the green bowl (or Buddha bowl) and didn't miss the meat. Also tried the blueberry buckwheat pancakes (yummy!)

Kate Dalton-Brown

Amazing place. Get the Mac and cheese for sure but definitely try everything!

Dennis Puetz

It's a bit of alright

Anya

So good, all vegan!

Erica Fritch

I loved the atmosphere and friendly staff! Burger on sweet potato flat bread and cauliflower wings were really tasty!

Lindsey Kwan

Great vegetarian joint in Victoria. Food was delicious, healthy and I loved knowing who all their vendors are. The staff are nice and the place was packed (always a good sign). I'd definitely recommend stopping in. Thanks for the great lunch!

Wolfgang Kuentzle

The best organic, gluten free food in Victoria.

Jonathan Poyer

Be love. Yes, such is important!

Chris

First time eating here. I ordered take out and got the mac along with some of the medicinal fudge. Both were delicious! They have a really creative menu with lots to choose from. Super friendly service when picking up my order too. Will be eating here again and chipping away at the menu when back in Victoria.

Caroline Ishii

It's slightly pretentious, and it tries just a bit too hard, but great vegetarian food in a beautiful location. Amazing staff, amazing desserts and cocktails.

B. Joel Cran

A noisy, expensive disappointment. Long time vegetarians, 3 so-so's and one thumbs down on the meals. Even allowing for different tastes, it is hard to understand the rave reviews.

Carlos Miranda

Don't let the fact they serve Vegan food fool you! I have been here 3 times and everything I try is amazing! very filling (if you are worried about "only eating veggies") and full of flavor. One of my girlfriend and I's favorite dinner spots.

Mark C.

Delicious gluten free, vegan-friendly food!

Jack Poon

Be love delivers on so many levels the evolution we need from all businesses - locally owned and built, locally sourced & in-season organic foods, a deep commitment to individual & communal wellness and of course - AMAZING meals. Can't say enough about this place.

Sean Pollock

Wonderful menu made making a choice difficult. My choice did not disappoint.

Nigel Morrison

Very tasty noodles in coconut sauce. Highly recommended.

Tanvi Asher

Had the Sweet Potato bun burger and Spaghetti with Beet Balls...cannot even express how good the flavors are. Entrees and cocktails both are expertly crafted to produce wonderful flavor and presentation!

Dominique Ng

Good drinks!

Eva MacLennan

A delightful, soulful experience which not only nourished my body, my being was revitalized. Namaste Be Love ????????

Robyn Edmondson

Thoughtful offerings, great variety, beautiful aesthetic and great peaceful vibe. Highly recommended!

Catherine Sevenhuysen

Delicious and unique. Had the Green bowl and hot chai tea both were delicious.

Infinite Aloe Canada

Best food ever. Great laid back place. A must????

Mako Oh

I heard about this place, as it was listed as one of the best vegetarian and vegan restaurants in Victoria. They did not disappoint. Came for lunch, and had the green bowl, which was very tasty. Nice atmosphere too!

Chris Lynch

Had their Green Bowl. Very delicious green curry and veg dish. Loved it!

Rob Sarrazin

It’s my first time here! The food menu is rich and the taste is delicious. Their Kombucha Cure is fresh and aromatic. Customer service is very good.

Anis H.

(Translated) Very good! (Original) Muy bien!

Mehdi

Very delicious and unique vegan food! I will be back regularly!!!

Thomas Harlan

Wow! Amazing food!

Tracy Strelau

Great food!

sharon nichols

Delicious vegan food made with love!

Conor McKeown

Totally impressed with both the service and quality of food at Be Love. They changed what I thought was possible with vegan food and blew my mind with some amazing flavours. Will definitely be coming back.

Brendan Mather

Delicious! Wonder food, great and friendly service, so good! The Chai was perfect, exactly what I needed. The food was wholesome and nourishing. The dessert was decadent yet I still felt great after indulging. Can't wait to go back. So many more things on the menu to try.

Kathleen Meadows

First time been here. It’s alright, seems not really patient to my questions. A bit salty. Overall is pretty good!

Todd Firesword

Guaranteed to be satiated, and feel good about any choice on the menu.

Tara Jackson

Vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, consistently delicious, it impresses even my meat-eating guests. Seasonally varied menu with some reliable favourites. Healthy but decadent.

LowellAnn Fuglsang

Great food as always, I just wish the ambiance was a bit more relaxed.

Raven Buck

Good food, friendly staff.

Alex Tamayo-Wolf

A little pricey but quality food

Darryl Karleen

Vegan/organic food isn't usually my first choice, but hats off to this place because their menu is delicious for anyone!

J_ai

Too pricey....

Braydon Justice

I could die happy eating their cakes, or stay awake all night with there coffee smoothie... but i always go home full after one of there many lovely bowls. 10/10, a fun place to bring your girl too.

Talhia Plourde

I love this restaurant so amazing, it's pretty rare to have a vegan restaurant that's not full of fillers additives oil and sugar. Tastes great and is great for you. This is a rare gem and please consider a visit. I was served today amber with the most wonderful attitude and energy. Owners you should promote her to head of staff if she isn't already.

Stanley Pan

I had the oh morels and it was super tasty. The combination of flavours was superb! The staff was super friendly and able to accommodate my dietary restrictions. Thanks guys!

Dionne LoForte

Friendly staff and amazing gluten free food choices! This is my 3rd visit and I will pop in on my next trip. Thank you!

Ainsley DeSouza

Very creative cocktails and tasty vegan dishes. Very much recommend for anyone with complex dietary requirements. Everything on the menu is gluten and dairy free but comes packed with flavours. My rainbow colour margarita looked and tasted great.

Ethan Robillard

Loved the food.

Whitney Lucas

Food was amazing, waitress was very friendly and fun.

Emma Grant

Excellent Vegan food ????????

Nasser Salomon

Nice place and I absolutely love their philosophy and values (vegan, organic and supporting local farmers). We have ordered two dishes. Mushroom Ruben sandwich was nice and tasty. But poutine....was not, the potatoes were not crispy, they were boiled or baked and then sliced, with the gravy on top the texture was mushy.

Teagan Kelk (Teaganbear)

The food here is SO incredible. No matter your tastes, preferences, and dietary needs, there's something for you. (p.s. definitely get the black bean burger it is DIVINE and unlike any vegan burger I've had before. Ever. Incredible.)

Al Thomson

Amazing food and fresh juices. The staff is equally wonderful.

Raj P

Excellent fresh nourishing food - fun drink selections too.

Alena

Tasty but very very vegan

Ryan Woodward

Love all the bowls they make, especially the macro bowl which is only available during Spring/Summer. Truly elevated, inspired vegetarian cuisine! Highly recommended.

Lawrence Hanlan

I bought the Earth Blood Tonic (fresh juice) from this place. It was great, and I felt the after effect of cleansing right away (**OVERSHARE ALERT**) as I had to make a restroom visit shortly after. Will definitely try another juice from these folks in the future!

Tobias Volkmann

I really enjoyed the full menu of upscale vegan choices and the atmosphere is no fuss but stylish and fun. I was, however, sadly disappointed at the lackluster and off putting vibe from our waitress, hence 4 stars instead of 5. We're hoping for a better experience next time as the food was terrific.

Andrew Cripps

Best vegan resto.... love!!!

Alexandre Marigo

Delicious dessert

Sepehr Nademi

Our family of six ate here. Not a great choice for picky eaters. I had the mushroom wontons which were very good but the kale and bok choy were too tough making it hard to finish my meal. The red wine was delicious and the portion was good. The food tends to run a little spicy so kids may not like any of it. They do not have a children's menu. The kids did like the cheese and craker platter.

Janete Vdveen

The smoothies were to live for.

srividya govind

If you're a vegetarian/vegan trying to eat a good meal, this is the place. Such creative takes on food, their dips and sauces make their dishes special, nice drinks as well

Will Reiher

This is one of the places that makes me think that it wouldn't be awful to be a vegetarian. The food is delicious and it's one of the few places where I feel as though I'm not missing out because of the lack of meat.

Eli G

I love the menu here (would love it more it were all vegan) and love that is such a popular place. But it sure is noisy (we were there last night 5:30-6:45), and tables are crammed into the space, maybe three inches between. Must be hard for the servers too. No good for a private conversation. You just have to politely ignore your neighbours. The Terranean Bowl was absolutely delicious!! (Spring 2018 menu)

Braydon de Wit

Nice cozy, raw/vegan menu. Great for experimenting. Cute date spot too!

Mara Cox

The mac and cheese was to dieeeee for. An awesome dish for those who are vegan/glutenfree/lactose intolerant. One of the best mac and cheeses ive ever eaten and I have no dietary limits or concerns.

I could not for the life of me tell you why anyone would consider a return visit to Be Love. The lackluster and overpriced food was as insulting as it was disappointing. $17 will get you the finest of beans and rice which were harvested off the backroom floor of this establishment, or so the quality of our meals would lead me to believe. To anyone with intact tastebuds: when it comes to Be Love; Be Ware! Signed, A Human Being with Standards

Food is really good, but our waiter’s service is not that great. If you just want a good vegetarian bite, highly recommended!

Geoff Rice

Beautiful service, great food for the healthier vegan.

HandyMark Services

Always awesome.

Nicola Rugani

Lovely place! The food is amazing and the staff are super friendly and helpful. Will definitely become a regular spot for me!

Dei Thomas

Yummy food!

Marnie H

A great place for vegetarian organic breakfasts and lunches. Desserts are also great. And staff are friendly. For what they are offering prices are moderate. Servings are not typical North American size though, aiming at conscious eaters.

Tatianna Landry

Good Good Good! Vegan, Tasty and pleasant...

Sophia Lynn

Amazing food! So flavourful! Perfect for vegans, vegetarians, and those with gluten sensitivities.

Mark Watts

Amazing food, spectacular service from all the employees. Stellar experience for my family and I.

Remya Rajiv

Closed before time on door. People where inside dancing and partying. Strange. Long drive for cheesecake to be turned way

Christina Howard

The service is exceptional. The food is beautifully presented. The mac 'n cheese is my favorite!

Michelle Labrosse

Popular restaurant, good vegan options

Aaron Banfield

We went for Sunday brunch, I tried the Blue Benny, it didn't disappoint! Super tasty! Great vibe. We had a lovely, friendly server. I'll definitely be back!

Derek Perkins

So nice to have a tasty and healthy place to eat nearby. The salads are great and I highly recommend trying their mac and cheese. The drink selection is also healthy and fun in their uniqueness.

Carly W

Lots of great vegetarian options, and gluten free options, but this place is overpriced. The food is fairly good, but the cost is only justified in a severely health conscious place like Victoria. Would not come here regularly, maybe if there is a vegetarian friend in town.

John Findlay

Delicious but the portion was not big enough

Mike Pfleger

I went here with my family, and we all loved it and can't wait to return. The non-alcoholic drinks were divine - not too sweet, tangy, tart, with complex flavours. Every meal was fresh, nutritious, delicious, and satisfying. Each one of us ordered something different (2 different sandwiches and 2 different dragon bowls), and all were fantastic. I was especially impressed by the size of the dragon bowls, the crackers that went with them, and the smoked cheeze. I will have to make a special trip just to try the dessert because I'm dying to try their cheezecake, and I did not have room after my meal. If I could pick one restaurant to eat at every day for the rest of my life, this would probably be it.

Simba Chang

Delicious & nutritious! The food at Be Love is incredible - you can really taste the high energy in the ingredients, it will leave you feeling satiated and vibing on an elevated frequency, highly recommended!

Jacob McCurdy

Delicious juice that isn't too sweet with apple juice. Very busy but the bar was available, I saw others waiting or leaving on a Monday at 1230. Sombrio bowl was healthy and delicious. Very impressed with their fermented veggies on the bowl. I work definitely go back for lunch. The service was a little sparse in terms of attention, but not bad.

First time we ate at Be Love, it seemed so awesome. The drinks and food were amazing and really felt like they made with love. The second time we got drinks to go (turmeric lattes) and again, amazing. But the third time we went, we got the same drinks but they were so weak and tasteless. I went back a fourth time and told the waitress about the previous lattes and she assured me the person on this evening is great at making them. But sadly, it was weak again and not at all comparable to the first two times we had them. At $7 they should be awesome, every time. She asked at the end of the meal while I was paying how the drink was and when I told her it wasn't as good as it was that first time and I probably won't be ordering it again, she responded with 'I should have asked you earlier'...not sure what that meant. Did I miss the window of good customer service where you take it off my bill or offer to remake it because you forgot to ask me? I had a latte and pasta and spent $40 which is crazy considering the meal wasn't exactly fantastic. Won't be going back. Definitely don't recommend it to anyone. It's one thing to have an off night with the food making but at least offer to remake or discount it on the bill or something. The dismissive customer service is the real clincher on why I'd never bother to go back. Be love? More like be expensive. Be mediocre. Not Be going back!

Hannah Voros

Delicious food!

Holly Kasasian

Mac n Cheeze is unreal. One of my favorite places

Jolee Adams

We all have that self righteous vegetarian/vegan friend who we don't understand but don't want to drop just yet, because aside from never shutting up about their food choices, they seem to be a descent person and in this clicky town new friends are hard to make. So whenever you want to impress them, just bring them to this place, which will give them nothing to complain about and even a chance to have a conversation about something other that their food choices.

Kevin Kuypers

Lovely flavours and presentation. Somewhat expensive and can get crowded for Friday and Saturday dinner.

Barbara Michel

the food is so creative and delicious. You can bring meat eating friends here

Abdullah Shamlan

Omg. So. Good. Vegetarian dishes that are so freakin yummy. The vegan mac n cheese is BETTER than any mac and cheese I've ever had. Staff is great atmosphere is lovely. Its not to loud. Will be back many times.

Infusion Edutainment Virtual Reality Lounge

The food is excellent and super tasty always. Don't change anything, keep it up. Staff on the other hand, down right rude on our last visit. We arrived for our reservation exactly on time (5:30) and were pointed to the tiny corner table along the window next to a table of six. My girlfriend and I were shouting across the table to hear each other. The table was very crammed and I had no elbow room on one side at all. We looked to the back of the restaurant where at least 5 tables were open with reservation cards on them. We informed our server of the volume issue and how we felt a little crouded. When we asked if we could move tables she responded "on actually, all of those tables are reserved aswell and the one in the far back was specifically asked for." she had no interest in relocating us and seemed annoyed that we asked. We placed our orders but quickly decided it wasn't worth the $50 for two meals with no drinks to yell at each other while dealing with condescending staff and an uncomfortable table. When we walked up to the counter to inform our server of our decision, before I finished my sentence she walked off to the kitchen without saying anything. The host standing at the front counter was kinda staring off like he wasnt seeing this interaction. More disappointed than anything. Had a great experience the first time, only reasons I didn't rate 1 star.

Andrew Hodges

Very disappointed that the food was so oily. We are whole food plant based and were really looking forward to som vegan food, but after trying it a couple of times and feeling sick after, I have to rate it poorly.

Marie Claire

Lovely lovely restaurant.

Ian Cockerline

The food and service were awesome. The best part...all meals are vegetarian and gluten free which meant my vegetarian daughter and my celiac daughter both had plenty to chose from on the menu.

Chantelle Kneale

The food was delicious! It was a busy weekend and the service was not super fast, but they managed the crowd adequately. Everything was delicious and presented eloquently.

Regis Denefle

Wow the food here was so good!! Large portions, whole food plant based. Wish I could have tried more of their dishes but my stay in Victoria was too short. They also had a great selection of beers, the sour was awesome! Service was a little slow but the delicious food made up for it. Would definitely go back, hope they stay around for a very long time or else come and open a location in Calgary wink wink ;)

Scott Sheldrake

A must for everyone with openmind

Phillipe C

Awesome lunch spot in a prime location. I highly recommend the green bowl on dreary Victoria days! They are always very accommodating to any modifications

Jacob Duarte-Enns

Great vibe and delicious food!

Ian Lloyd

Excellent vegan & vegetarian choices that are delicious! Best restaurant in Victoria.

Randi Duggan

The Turmeric latte is incredible. Went for the Benny and I will definitely go back.

Evan Reid

Went here for the first time for my bday, the food was amazing and the staff were really friendly and great with my 2 year old. Would have given 5 stars but the seating was rather cramped and it was loud, but would still definitely recommend

Sharon L

After hearing great reviews I decided to try this place last month. It is the perfect vegetarian restaurant, everything is so fresh and the flavours are outstanding. If you are looking for a great vegetarian/vegan restaurant nearby you have to give this place a try!

Karry Dinh

Best Vegan restaurant I've been to and I have been to many vegan places in different countries! The flavours are delicate and the recipes are very original. The decor is nice and it's very clean. This is my first time ever to write a public review.... I couldn't resist! Get in here...

Ed Wood

Excellent healthy food that is also very tasty!

Barry Hyslop

Textures and flavours were amazing! Best hummus I've had for a long time! Tamale pie was tasty- but a bit less 'cornbread' and more filling would have made it a 5/5! Dessert! So good! From out of town but will be back!!

Julie M

Pesto Bowl was amazing! Wish I lived closer, I would eat here frequently!

Xendarboh Elfaerian

Great food!

Samantha Meadows

I love everything about this restaurant. It's elegant yet humble. the drink list is superb and the food is nourishing, incredibly creative and beautifully executed. The last byte of each dish I tried was as good as the first one - my taste buds never got bored and only wanted more. I really look up to the crew behind belove for the quality and ethics they bring to everything they do - well beyond the restaurant setting . Thank you for being leaders !

Asia Citro

My daughter was sick because of a dish at this restaurant. The waitress was not only not accommodating but dismissive and insisted my daughter pay a whopping $19! This has NEVER happened at any restaurant she or I have been to. Needless to say, she paid a lot of money she doesn't have to spend, so that she could be ill that evening. Do not go here!

Renate Herberger

Disappointed, never felt so rushed! Definitely not the place to go if you want to enjoy your food and good company. Get you in,get your money and get you out!!! If you want good service and great food check out NOURISH.

Vanessa Watson

Great selection of delicious food downtown Victoria

Jo Neufeld

Honestly, I love the food and drinks- they are amazing. The reason for the "it's okay" rating is the service. They need to hire FRIENDLY and attentive staff who can interact and smile.

Flora Benson

Food took 40 minutes and the service was poor. The food overall was good. The service wasn't to standard and the waitress ignored us after taking our money.

Robert Mari

Found this on a whim! Whether you’re vegetarian or not you’ll love this place! The menu is inventive and diverse. I got the Dhasak Hash for brunch and was blown away. The portions are huge and delicious ????

Ξ Π

They serve tasty fresh dishes. Not run of the mill. I felt nourished from the food.

Curtis Matthias

Be Love is such a special place in the city. The food really does taste nourishing, made with local fresh ingredients. The desserts are rich and decadent. It's not just for vegan vegetarians. The mac and cheese is delicious and one of the best I've ever had. Some things on the menu may be a bit salty. I suggest you try the drinks. There is a lot of love put into every item on the menu. I can go all the time and enjoy knowing that they strive to be sustainable and eco-friendly.

RP Gill

Wow wow wow. Soooooo good. Every dish we got was perfectly made. Highly recommended.

Rafael Fernandes

Great vegetarian options with some interesting and delicious drinks.

Ken Ashdown

No meat no good!! and super pricey!!! Despite that, food tasted good thats why they got two stars. And oh, they will tell you can add eggs for protein but it is actually $2.50 per egg! A very little tiny winy egg!! Literally!

Christian Born

Wonderful atmosphere, diverse menu, nicely curated (and priced) wine list. Server was knowledgeable and genuine. Food was as expected, made with love.

Eric Faust

Good staff good food

Brooke Robyn Cannon

My wife and I ate breakfast here. She had pear pancakes and I had avocado Benedict with a cashew based hollandaise sauce and roasted potatoes and mixed greens. It was one of the best meals I have eaten in a long time – absolutely superb! The portions where a little small for me but I eat like a construction worker. Definitely try this place! You will not regret it. Delicious food, nice atmosphere and delightfully friendly staff. I will be returning the next time I'm in Victoria.

Morgan J

Fantastic restaurant . Love the earth blood tonic juice . Today I ordered the mac n cheese I was not happy . They gave me a discount but I thought they will give me it for free if I'm not happy / dislike or took along time with it like other restaurants would . Don't get me wrong I love this restaurant.

Nabil Zorgui

Always delicious healthy food!

Dave Miglin

Super yummy food and great customer service! very comfortable and cozy restaurant!

Tamer Shafik

Thank you for proving that vegan food can be absolutely amazing! The pricing is super reasonable for the quality.

Dana LeComte

Amazing food! Healthy, delicious, perfect size portions and lovely atmosphere. A new favorite!

Kent

If you are not strictly vegan, I recommend the squash soup, hot spices! I managed to have some of it before taking it home to be greeted with heat reducing yoghurt added to it. What would be fun is a group buying it there and a game of who can finish it first! They did warn me before purchasing though. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the cool fruit and veggie drinks. This menu is quite outstanding.

Kyle H

Had a last minute birthday gathering to attend... so I called to inquire about the cake/dessert options. I also asked out of desperation if they could spare a candle and they said yes of course! Popped in and got my beautiful slice of vegan carrot cake with a candle on the side. Love this place and their exemplary customer service. 10/10!

RAIN X

fabulous vegan and raw restaurant where you can order anything on the menu and feel good about it because there is no cruelty to animals involved here!

jordan kozushka

I have been to Be Love three times and I can now say I am not a fan. The food was bland and not aesthetically pleasing. The tempeh wrap is more like a crumbly GF taco with very little tempeh and the house ketchup tasted like tomato paste. They have some good things, such as the cashew cheese and the poutine.

Aimee McNally

Great food and friendly service, what more can you ask for? Well, maybe a little more elbow room haha. It's a bit of a squeeze if you come during a busy time like we did, but the food makes it worth the cozy seating. The dishes are plated perfectly and are very tasty. We had black bean fritter, a tempeh dish and pizza and were very happy with all! The dessert case is filled with tasty treats too, so save room for some carrot cake! We took a couple pieces home for later :) For vegans, this place does serve honey and bee pollen, but I believe it was only in drinks :/ Just a heads-up.

Terry Simms

Tasted fine, but ingredients clashed and a few days later even my family's stomachs were still feeling awful...????

Jamie Senger

The Burger was great, the service not so much. Didn’t feel very welcoming.

Tommy Gill

Have had 2 excellent meals here, amazing flavors and creativity. Service is great. Only thing preventing 5 stars is the restaurant always seems cold. Both times or whole table had to eat with jackets on.

Katya Morenets

Really not satisfied with my DoorDash order tonight. The food was incredibly expensive. The winter slaw had an overpowering taste of onion and not much else. The “quesadilla” was falling apart and the lemon square, while good, was way overpriced. I got a tiny square and paid $4.00 for it. This used to be one of my favourite restaurants in Victoria. Maybe dining in the restaurant would be better.

Brayden Klein

Not a vegan by any means. More of a meatatarian. But, I decided to visit at the recommendation of a friend, and .. wow! The food was amazing. Looking forward to another trip. The food is a little on the expensive side though.

Zachariah Moreno

Absolutely perfect!

Dan Brooking

Food was amazing. I'm not vegetarian or vegan and I will most definitely be going back there again. Food was very flavourful. Service was also very good

Westcoast Reba_red

Too fancy. The food wasn't good at all. I liked the art tho.

Mika C

This is my third time eating here, and I will be back over and over again. This place is astounding! I am relatively new to trying the vegetarian lifestyle , and I am thrilled with the food placed before me at Be Love. The freshness and inspiration in the dishes is amazing and presentation on the plates , or bowls, is a beautiful piece of art. Flavors are deep, complex, and make me want to slow down and savor every bite. Cosy atmosphere, and the staff are delightful and attentive!

Spencer Y.

This place was amazing! Great new flavours I've never had before. The only downside about it is it's expensive. But definitely worth "every once in a while" visit...

Kate Stevens

Our server was very welcoming and the food was really tasty. The ‘Greens’ bowl was all kinds of deliciousness, warm hearty food for the cold weather. There wasn’t a large selection of desserts, and the ones available had nuts in them. Plexiglass installed to follow with covid restrictions. Paid on street parking close by.

kiiroi hana

Had the Thanksgiving dinner. Unreal and awesome service.

BrainStorming

Amaaaaazing food! Everything we had was a complete delight. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone, but especially to vegetarians and vegans. Outstanding!

Rowan Stockton

Thank you for enabling me to get a bowl of rice and steamed greens without any difficulty. It can be incredibly challenging to find places that will serve the basics. My partner thoroughly enjoyed the Mac and cheese plate and the couple at the table next to us couldn't stop raving about all of their faves from the menu. I finished my meal with a piece of Medicinal Chocolate. It was an interesting culinary experience that I'd repeat, but might aim to try a different location. The downtown Victoria location is spacially intimate. The chairs and tables are quite close, so moving around becomes a coordinated effort and you'll have to leave strollers and mobility aids outside. The pieces of artwork on the walls was inspired, creative and entertaining and the staff were working hard to keep everyone happy. I should award more stars than I did.

Wet curry, expensive side of hot sauce, okay cocktails

Great service! White bean dip could have come with more chips, instead we paid for an extra order. Food was really good, chips were a touch on the salty side.

Patrick Levesque

Delish.

Dave Neal

Excellent service, beautiful, filling and delicious food. This spot is a favorite.

Erin Mcintosh

Amazing food. It was ready when I arrived. Be love never disappoints with freshness, quality and flavor ????.

Sean Capstick

Me and my wife do not normally make negative reviews, but our experience here was not pleasant at all. We arrived well before dinner time (around 4:30pm), the place was almost empty. Upon deciding what we would order, our waitress took our menus and placed our order. My brother had told me that they usually take a while to make the food here, but when 40 minutes had passed he said that it was taking longer than he expected. It was getting close to an hour of waiting for our food, and during that whole time, none of the staff (2 or 3 waitresses included) came over to give us an update on our orders, or to apologize that it was taking too long. They just came to refill our water and did not say a word. We started thinking that they had forgotten about us. Finally my brother asked about our food, and the waitress finally apologized and told us that the order was on its way and thanks for the patience. When we arrived we were hungry, and we had to wait so long that our stomachs started hurting. When the food finally arrived (about 1 hour and 15 minutes), we were so hungry that we ended up eating so fast that we did not even enjoy the food. The food was somewhat tasty, but not worth the wait time, or the price. I was frustrated and asked the waitress myself why the food had taken so long. Her answer was "Its just that we are trying new recipes, and the cooks are learning them". This was the tipping point of the night. If a restaurant decides to add new recipes to their menus, its completely fine, but it seemed like it was their first time practicing, and with customers waiting that is unacceptable. The management obviously did not take some extra time to properly train their staff on these new recipes, and the result is making people wait for over an hour for their food. Also, the waitresses did not do anything on their part to make us feel like they had not forgotten about us, or give us any updates. It seems like the management does not want to spend any extra money in having the cooks practice the menus when there are no customers. We were deeply disappointed as we had high hopes in this restaurant. We left feeling very disappointed, and sadly we will not be coming back here anytime soon. It has so much potential, but not with the current management.

Margaret Guyjones

Portions small and no $ option for tip.

Heather Urquhart

Healthy food that tastes great!

Hannah F

A usually busy place, this vegan, GF, and animal product free has yummy food, smoothies, and desserts. It's uber healthy and tasty. Come early.

Amish Rebel

Nice atmosphere, really good and dynamic drinks menu, actually quite pleasant food. Would go again.

rtif photo

Lots of delicious food. Tables are really close together, so feels a bit crowded when busy.

Joslin Blake Nelson

Great for couples and families!

Kirk Chantraine

Wow! Beautiful flavours, interesting menu, loved the tempeh with Hollandaise sause - it’s been a while since I had something like that! Defs go here. Standard pricing as well. Beautiful service by lovely female whom wrote down a list of other vegan places in Victoria- so helpful!

Adrienne Beason

Incredible. Everything we tried was delicious, beautifully presented, and solidly portioned. Our waiter was absolutely fantastic - personable and genuine. The atmosphere was great! We're likely going to return before our vacation is over because it was that impressive!

Storm Elworth

Delicious and relatively inexpensive. Great atmosphere and service.

Jason Norton

If you are looking for nourishing and healing food & drink, this is the place! :) It is also a great stop to grab a fresh juice or some chocolate treats!

Jed Grieve

Great veg spot and coffee

Kellan Shipton

Delicious vegan and vegetation food. Great drinks too.

Angela Ung

Visitors from the mainland, we enjoyed the weekend brunch and weekday brunch menu (personal favorites being mac bowl and the Benny specials). The service was impeccable - friendly, jovial and memorable. Thanks for having us!

Glenda

The food was less than flavorful. This place relies on ambience. They served us wet rice as an excuse for curry. The sourdough crackers were the texture of drywall... THEY CHARGED US 3 DOLLARS FOR HOT SAUCE!

Travis “FlourSageRosemary” Forsyth

Don't skip this place just because it's vegan. The food is so good that anyone would enjoy the meal. Quantities are large, you won't walk away hungry. The desserts are amazing!! A real treat for anyone that is lactose/dairy allergic. All the options are 100% safe. Enjoy!

Pro: I can’t recommend this place enough. I usually don’t like vegetables (even tho I’m vegan), but this place was exceptional. I feel like I haven’t had food this good in so long. Con: I wish the staff were more friendly.

ace of mase

Amazing menu and excellent service. Always pleased when we visit. Good beer and wine selection also!

Kim Longenecker

Every detail perfected. From the beverage selection; to the appetizers; to the entrees; to the desserts. The vegetables in each dish could not have been more perfectly cooked, and flavourful! The atmosphere is beautiful as well, with high ceilings; and an abundance of artwork. I feel as though my life would be complete if I tasted each item on the menu. First restaurant I have rated as a five star. Check it out, you won't regret it!

Emmanuel Okee

Friendly staff and tasty food.

Ryan Tiberti

Dairy free hollandaise sauce! Yes please! Breakfast was delicious! I also ordered one of the vegan bowls and it was great. Love this vegan spot! Juices are tasty too. Service was very slow though.

Michelle Larochelle

Delicious, highest quality food, great service, amazing desserts. It's crowded and loud in there, but the food is spectacular

Andy Bernhart

Amazing service and incredible food, every time. The seasonal menu changes, offering a new taste every time you visit! Would recommend the mac and cheese any time of the year, and the pumpkin pie for dessert for the autumn menu. (Get two slices if you're thinking about sharing!!)

Liam Grant

Went for a lunch date here today. Our server forgot about us so we had to take our orders to go. When I opened the order they did not substitute the sauce on the green bowl. So I could not eat it because of my diet. 45 minutes wasted and paid for food that I could not eat. If you would like fast and accurate service consider eating at home.

Solid aesthetic. The Mac was very good. The bathroom sinks were the perfect depth.

Elizabeth Nguyen

Karma bowl was very small, waiter didnt tell me what came in the bowl, made a substitution for more veggies instead of rice, then wasn't allowed to switch out my chickpeas even though they didnt tell me it came with chickpeas because I had already made one substitution, lemon sauce was watery, portion was small, served with a spoon and no knife to cut through the leathery black steamed kale at the bottom, overpriced, overall very disappointed. Will not go back.

Jordan Sauer

Just went to be love.. the food was great.. But they included a 15 percent tip on my order without telling me.. when i asked them to take it off the person at the cash "Vanessa" was suuuuuuuuuuuuuper rude about it.. asking if the service was good enough and such things in a really snarky way making me not want to re add a tip to the order and making me feel very uncomfortable.. as we left i looked back and she was making faces at us! I went back in to tell her i felt disrespected and for the information of her higher authority and she refused to give it to me! Amazing. I have never been treated so childishly and disrespectfully at any restaurant let along a " love and light " vibes one.. IF THE OWNER SEES THIS DO US ALL A FAVOUR AND FIRE HER ASAP this is one of fave restaurants and now I never want to go back

Eloho S. Sido

Unbelievably delicious food, it's absolutely perfect how they can turn vegan and gluten-free food to come out like this. The service was also fantastic. This is my wife and I favorite restaurant to eat in Victoria when we visit and we are so happy they are open back for dine in.

Really good experience. They squeezed us in before some reservations. The food was delicious really bursting with flavors. I highly recommend this place even if you're not vegetarian

Mercedes Jayne

You feel the love and nutrient density in the food and drink. Love and will be back soon it felt like a healing ritual to be here.

Great nearly vegan restaurant with a seasonally changing menu - always creative and delicious. Good beers on tap and tasty desserts too. You can't go wrong!

Laurel Anne Stark

This place is wonderful! Great food (with new tastes discovery) and nice staff. Too bad it is noisy.

Ember May'an

This place is terrific! The service is good, the atmosphere also but most importantly, the food is absolutely delicious. We had the beetroot burger and the green curry bowl. But to be honest it was a hard choice because the options all looked so very good. We'll just have to go back to try the other dishes one by one.

Anastasia Organ

Amazing good food and drinks. If somebody likes pasta you should definitely try the Mac and no cheese pasta, it was absolutely delicious!

Minimal_Stealth

I am not a vegan eater, but it does not mean the creations here are not delicious. The dessert options are particularly delectable. Start with the medicinal fudge and cheese cake. Beautifully decorated.

Cinelouise Crisp

The portions are very small and the prices have gone up. Charging $17 for mac and cheese or $18 for a tiny burger or benny is shocking. I can’t justify spending that much on a meal especially with so many plant based new options available.

R N

Great to be here again! Come here to enjoy the Vegan definitely will not disappoint you;)) 西方無肉料理，真的不要錯過！

Mary Gait

Almost certainly the best vegan food we've ever had and definitely the best restaurant food we've had in Victoria. Ordered take out and was so impressed by the quality, variety, intention and deliciousness of the food. Can't wait to go back!

Tristan Cusi

Everything about Be Love is amazing. I've been here for lunch and dinner and the food has been excellent both times. The service is outstanding. The coffee was very well made, and rivalled what you'd find in nearby high-end coffee shops. I would recommend this place to anyone, and will come back anytime I can!

Theresa Bradley

A weird place serving weird food for weird people. Perfect!

Marie Toews

Best veggie food!

Lisa Yeoman

So so good! Best vegan place ever

johannes Wigh-Poulsen

Great food but menu should change periodically.

Ruthie Hoffman Jones

Somewhat surprised that I liked Be Love as much as I did. So much flavor and so filling that my dinner was also my lunch the next day. Only issue I had was they do not have tonic for G&Ts.

Rafael Paravia

Love this place .... !!!

I highly recommend the maccoroni!????

Paula J

Great vegan food. Nice staff. Cater reasonably well with food intolerances.

Amazing, creative and delicious food! The atmosphere was cozy, and relaxing despite it being a busy Saturday night. The staff was really attentive and nice to us. One of the best meals I’ve ever had. Will be back.

I love creative and upscale vegan restaurants, and really wanted to love this one. The menu looked fantastic, and perfect for my plant-based lifestyle. However, their fermented-greens were so sharply pungent that it was hard to finish the dish; it overpowered the taste of the really good things paired with the greens. In the end, we did not finish the meal. However, I am willing to give them a second chance, because they were friendly and very helpful with the menu. Indeed, so many things on the menu look tantalizing that I will definitely return next time we visit Victoria.

So delicious...I wish there were more on the island!

I went with 2 other folks because it was a vegetarian place. I was the only one that enjoyed my meal. My friend got the karma bowl (after being denied the whippersnapper, which is fair - she's not a senior nor a child, but most of the other things contained food items she couldn't eat or would make her ill. Not wanting to be rude, she compromised on the karma) and received their bowl without the sauce it was supposed to come with. The food without it was horribly bland, and my friend couldn't cut the steamed greens and choked a few times trying to eat them. She ultimately had to eat using her hands for the most part to prevent herself from choking because the pieces were so large and she couldn't simply chew through them. Some of the pieces of greens were as long as my forearm. My other friend go the ZLT and the zuccini bacon was so rigid she couldn't bite through them, and so simply didn't eat them due to sharp pain from how hard they were, but also because she couldn't eat her sandwich with them on it. She was the reason why we went there as she is vegetarian, but she didn't like her food either. She said it was passable. Both were meals that could easily be made at home, and the prices were quite expensive for what you got. I enjoyed my Green bowl, but it definitely seemed like two very different dishes ( a salad sitting ontop of a soup ), and the avocado was quite misplaced and wasn't needed ( it was lost in the strong curry flavour ). The cocktails, however, were amazing. I feel bad as about 20 minutes after eating my friend got very sick from eating there. While I liked what I got, I agree the prices were unreasonably high ( but the cocktail prices made sense ), especially for food that you can just make in your own kitchen, and it's unfortunate my two friends were so dissatisfied and that my other friend got sick. I likely will not return.

M Murray

One of the best restaurants in town! Don't skip this place just because you're not vegetarian/vegan. The food is absolutely incredible.

Michelle Totten

Brilliant organic food!

van Gink

Me Love Be Love. Nice looking space that was bustling on an otherwise no-so-busy downtown Victoria that evening. Why might people go there? Probably in part for the atmosphere and decoration, but mostly for interesting vegan dishes influenced by various cultures, and delicious. The dessert choices are also delightful. You get to eat very well, experience new dishes and flavors with less environmental impact, and no cruelty. Win, win, win.

Eloi Homier

Superb quality vegan dining establishment. An amazing place to explore and indulge into the vegan way of life.

I have given this restaurant a try a total of four times. I found the staff to be quite cold/rude. Looking forward to the food I thought I would enjoy but was disappointed with everything I have tried. (besides the bliss kiss which they did a great job on) Other than the dessert, every drink I ordered came out watery (the matcha & turmeric latte) And my most recent experience; I had ordered a soup and reuben sandwich. I had taken the order to go and didn’t realize that as I was walking, the soup was leaking through the bag onto my work clothes.. they hadn’t sealed the lid on my soup. Lastly, when I went to eat my sandwich most of the insides had fallen out within the first bite. I really want to support and enjoy this restaurant for everything they seem to stand for but I just don’t feel it aligns with the quality of service or food that I have received. Pretty dissatisfied.

Loved ' be love ' so much I ate there 3 times in two days. Friendly, beautiful, super clean, great service. Best of all, the food. Vegan, delicious, such a great lunch and dinner menu. Drinks at bar great. Smoothies great. Macanese cheese, all food I had rocked. And so healthy. Probably as good as a casual vegan restaurant can be.

All gluten free and vegan. Taste really good. Totally my fav

Katherine Slingsby

Great lunch! Friendly, knowledgeable staff, super tasty creative dishes, everything is made in house. The Mac was super good, so far, the best vegan/GF one we have had!

Paul Martin

We ordered take out from here last week and tried the the mac and cheese did not have any cheese sauce it was oily yet dry. We also tried the sandwich which was not appetizing and tasted old.

anna corey

This is by far the best Vegan/Vegetarian restaurant in BC. I have been to a number of these restaurants and I can tell you that the menu at Be Love is one of the best around. If you have a chance go and experience it for yourself.

Reza Sourate

Very creative and tasty dishes, it’s amazing what they dream and whip up in this kitchen - thank you Be Love!

Naiomi Neufeld

Excellent only healthy options, atmosphere and service is fantastic.

Abhinav Rai

If you are on a particular diet Be Love would be able to accommodate your diet. From raw to hot meal. For special occasion it a great restaurant, delicious wine and hot drinks. It is noisy but worth trying.

Sheri Disney

Mac and Cheese (cheese made with cashews and walnuts) was one of my favorite mac and cheese and you don't feel greasy after.

Aaron Ehman

Great vegan restaurant

Laura-Jane Wallace

Food is amazing....... but always mess up my order. I ordered two mac and cheeses and one buddah bowl, they gave me the opposite, this has happened every single time. Service can be better.

Awesome service and delicious food! Chris and staff made me feel very welcome!

Tom Hudock

Nice place, staff were friendly. I had the green bowl. At first I was a little disappointed with its size, but it was deceiving. I could barely finish it. Tasted great too.

Mansoor Mansoor

Seriously some of the best food I have ever had the privilege of eating. Lovely service and ambience. Prices are right where they should be for food of this quality. Loved every bite.

wayne k

I came here for the first time with my boyfriend. We both ordered a bowl for lunch. He got the jamba and I got the 1st one on the menu, the také. Both bowls were ok. I didnt love them tbh. We were excited to come here because it was rated very high. The food was bland and needed more seasoning. It was healthy but that was it. I had better vegetarian food before. Kind of disappointed. The smoothies were good but unfortunately overpriced for a smoothie. Almost 10 bucks for a smoothie which is way too much for what it's worth. Probably wouldnt come back.

Peter Salomonsson

I had my very first full-vegan meal here. It was fantastic, I couldn't believe what I was eating was vegan. Will be back for sure

Jason Bremner

Great place to eat - the Mac And Cheese was unbelievable!

Will Thomas

I've had some really good food here in the past! We waited 15 mins and our server never even took our drink order. She chatted with the couple next to us for 5 mins as I tried to get her attention. As we got up to leave she asked if something was wrong, I said we have been waiting too long (I got a text just as we sat down so I knew the time). Her response was a flippant, Oh... OK, we'll have a good night. I was really bummed, my GF is vegan and they have great food. We were celebrating and wanted to have a nice meal out. We went across the street to the Pink Bicycle, had a couple delious burgers. Probably be a while before we go back.

Sandra Paradis

Amazing cheese cake. Very interesting menu and so delicous. Everything seems to be conpletely fresh and good quality. I would recommend this place for sure.

DIKSHA THAKUR

Amazing !!

Natalie Leskie

I’m going to chalk it up to a new menu needing to work out some kinks but our food was awful. We eat at plenty of vegetarian restaurants, including fine dining so it’s not like we don’t love our veggies ???? but the gnocchi dish was incredibly dry and the congee was a mushy overwhelming mess. Don’t think we’ll be back to try again as the price point isn’t worth the risk of wasted food or money.

Marion Tali

Delicious!!

(Translated) I was dying for a dessert that is why I entered here, there is a great variety of cakes which I tried was very tasty. (Original) Moría por un postre por eso entre aquí, hay gran variedad de pasteles el que probé estaba muy rico.

Aidan Christopher

Came here for a girls night dinner. Never been here before but I'm also not a vegetarian. I would have to say that I was very surprised how good the dinner I had. The dish I ordered was Mujaddara, was very flavorful and had some spiciness to it that I didn't know it had. Would come here again with my girlfriends.

Kevin H

Great healthy food choices and the drinks we're yummers too.

Delicioussssssss mac n cheese!

So many amazing vegan options and the prices are fair. If I lived in Victoria, this place would be my go to. I loved the atmosphere and the people.

Tara Reilly

My sister had pesto bowl and it had a moldy taste. She didn't eat it and told the waitress, but still was charged.

doug

I went here with my friends for dinner. They have big food and drink menus. Price is not so expensive. The Carmanah bowl I ate is very good. It's tasty and good portion. The souce goes well with many kinds of vegetables. The staff's also good. They took care of us well. Ambiance is comfortable and open. When we went, the tables were almost full, so not so quiet. But still good. I'll go again.

Breathe, the time is now

I have been coming here for years. So glad to see they've reopened for dine in. Always a big fan of their featured items!

Ilan Goldenblatt

We got the bowls and they were delicious and reasonably priced. Would go back!

Oh man, Be Love is my favorite restaurant in Victora. Not only do I love the place, but every time I've taken a friend or business partner here, even when they do not usually eat plant-based cusine, they always comment about how good the place is and that they will be back. The menu is varied and delicious. It also changes with the seasons so there are always new flavors to try. My favorite item that stays on the menu is the Green Bowl (Green Curry, Yum!). They have an amazing selection of healthy drinks (I always get the medicinal chai tea) and they also brew their own kombucha. They do have a beer/wine/cocktail list as well. In the front display case, they always have different in-house made treats like cheesecake or medicinal fudge which are unbelievable!! Don't leave without one.

Alanah

Really good food. Very vegan. A little pricey. I just might be cheap.

Albert T

Perfect for vegans. Not a single dish for those of us that are dragged here and don't feel like eating dirt.

Steph

My Fiance and I came in to try your restaurant for the first time, on our anniversary. First of all we were mis-informed by the menu which was displayed online, only to be different in the actual restaurant. We ordered our meals at the same time, however my meal came 10 minutes prior to my Fiances. We both sat awkwardly while waiting for her meal. The menu was a little confusing, our food turned up to be in a rich, heavy sauce that was a surprise to our pallet. At the end we didn't receive any goodbyes or any gratitude towards us for coming in. We were just handed the debit machine without a word. Overall, the food was good, but I am disappointed about the service.

Kathy Grabher

The creamy green smoothie was filling and the Matcha Latte with Almond Mylk was perfect....not too nutty and creamy. Personable staff and comfortable, cozy environmemt.

niendv

I chose this place because I am celiac and they are GF. I am not vegan but I have to say their mac and cheeze was really delicious!

Eliza Kerridge

We went to this place so that our teen daughter could enjoy a vegan meal; the rest of us are not vegan. The location is centrally located in downtown Victoria, on a very busy street with limited parking. The restaurant itself was clean and cozy and the staff were very friendly, helpful and patient with us non-vegan patrons. Our challenge was a limited menu and expensive. We had a salad and had to pay $2.50 for salad dressing. Food was good and very filling.

Nick

Loved it! When I'm back in Victoria I will go!

Dan Stein

Andy Penderson

Unbelievable vegan food, amazing cocktails. I took my wife here for her birthday and she loved it!!!

tyler Smith

Best food I have had in ages!

Calem Bardy

Lots of vegan and GF options. A little over-priced, too much to be a regular stop. Store-made kombucha is good, but again, expensive for a fizzy mushroom drink. The only thing I feel good about getting is the chai medicinal tea. ...Watch out for the bread, It's dehydrated. Like a sandwich on a big clumsy cracker.

Thomas Surprenant

Healthy and interesting food options

Kayla Depuit

Good food for the dietary restricted, but never a filling meal.

Catherine Lord

The food was very good and we enjoyed the meal even though we are not vegetarian or Vegan. My only complaint would be the service, very slow, we sat for 20 min and had to flag a server to order our drinks. She couldn't remember who ordered what so had to come back and ask twice for clarification and then ended up forgetting to order one of the meals. Having said that, she responded to our requests politely. We probably will go back because the food was enjoyable.

Katie Culbertson

Great atmosphere and service. The food was a but heavy for my preferences, but well made.

Real English

I had the absolute best falafel wrap and soup. The food is rich in flavor and texture. Fresh lavender lemonade washed it all down. My non-vegan friend said the food was good enough that he said he could be vegan with food tasting like it did here.

ryan moen

Would not recommend this restaurant unless you are vegan and have some money to spare.

Lindsay Gilmour

What I love: I saw their menu online and they have a dish that is base on donation, for spreading the love of organic and vegetarian. I love that! They have a dream, a reason to do what they do. Great service, all very friendly and attentive. They make brown rice noodle for pad Thai. And make their own spicy sauce! It's awesome! The not so much love: the pad Thai was not really spicy enough and authentic enough. The green bowl curry has too much coconut milk and not enough curry flavor, overall, the flavor was okay. The thing that bug me the most is portion. Their portion is really design for girls who don't eat too much. And I'm a dude, I eat ALOT, but it's a fine restaurant I can settle for mid size food. But no the portion is way too small for a big man! So food wise, too small portion, okay flavor, makes $16 a bit expensive. I'm going across the street to order another pad Thai to fill my stomach. Thanks for being a idealist tho!

Jul Dickson

Food was fresh and full of flavor. They were cool to host my wife and I, along with our 4 month old, after an evening run.

Rod MacIlvaine

An item we ordered ("These Cubes") was overly/inedibly salty. When we called to advise and give an opportunity to make right, we were smugly told that it is a matter of preference and our taste. We suppose the burnt potatoes were also a matter of preference, but did not mention them. Unbelievably poor treatment of a customer, overshadowing any enjoyment we had in other dishes. We'll write the meal off as a $100 donation to a restaurant in tough times and will not be returning or recommending to others. Service matters as much as food quality - this place has flaws in both.

bee bop

The food and service is always fantastic!!!

Dust Might

I love Be Love! We have dined in and had takeout from here - both were consistently good. I'm pretty sure I could eat the mac n "cheese" every day of my life and never get tired of it. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. The atmosphere is relaxed but classy and I like seeing the giant jars of kombucha doing their magical thing!

Roger Dodger

Awesome vegetarian spot with lots of options for dairy/soy free diets. Highly recommend the Mac and cheese.

John Z

My partner and I went in for the first time, we're both vegetarian and dairy-free and I'm also gluten free, we were pleasantly surprised we both could eat everything on the menu! my partner got the matcha late and loved it! I got an alcoholic drink that I can't remember the name of but was also incredible! We split the mushroom poutine and the Itamemono, I was surprised by how delicious both we, and had to skip on dessert but will definitely be coming back for some cheesecake! We cant wait to go back!

Liam

Very friendly, awesome food! Love the cheese cake and cedar cocktail! ????

Shawn van Donkersgoed

Wow, who would have thoughts vegan and gluten free food could taste so good? The flavours are amazing and the service is outstanding. Go try this place!

Shilen Shah

Super delicious and nutritious feast with an innovative menu! Loved it so much I ate there 2 days in a row. The nettle ravioli, Syrah from Sicily and Sweet potato pita with cashew cream & chutney were all so flavorful

Sam Bloom

Céline Taylor Fontaine

I’m not vegan, but I do enjoy cleaner eating, and this place was absolutely amazing. Their alcoholic drink selection was lovely, and the bowl that I had was so delicious.

Liam Hudson

This I believe is the best vegetarian restaurant I've ever been to. The food is incredibly tasty and healthy. I've been a vegetarian for eleven plus years. My favorite types of food are mexican, Indian and Ethiopian. So me saying this is the best vegetarian restaurant I've been to is really saying something since it's not in my list of favorite food types. If I lived in Victoria it would be my restaurant of choice. I'm sure I'll be back in the future and when I am I'll definitely eat here again.

Andy Graham

Expensive but amazing drinks. Wonderful, vegan food.

Leandri de Wit

My favourite place to eat put with my Fiancé since he’s a celiac and lactose intolerant. Friendly staff, quick food service, food always tastes amazing. Will accommodate for special requests.

Robin Whitaker

Good food for the body and mind. When Im feeling icky I go for a smoothie and salad to get the boost I need.

Michael K

I can't get over the amazing menu and drink menu!! The turmeric latte and all the elixirs are incredible. The Mac and cheese is a must try. One small complaint I have is that our server checked up on us once, but when we were finished and waiting for our plates to be cleared + our bill, we noticed they were sitting at the bar drinking a beer. So we had to go to the front for anyone's attention. BUT it was great food!

Yep Bike

Meh

Nicholas Baingo

Delicious food and exceptional service. The mac and cheese is stellar.

Monique Murphy

The forks were dirty, they gave us filthy cloth napkins, and the food was utter trash. I could of went to Tim Hortons with my hot girlfriend (ps not to flex) but instead I ended up in this dumpster due to my Hangriness. I hate vegan food but I support the cause.

Margaret Jeana

I LOVE IT!!! It is one of the best vegetarian restaurants I have ever been to. The food was homemade, super fresh, VERY delicious, and we had a very professional and super friendly service, we will definitely come back!

Tamara Walker

I thought I'd love all the food I ordered (sandwich and potatoes). Unfortunately, it was inedible. I couldn't eat more than one bite of each. My best friend, who would eat everything / not picky at all, couldn't eat it either. Everything tasted extremely sour and vinegary. It felt like eating bread soaked in vinegar and burnt potatoes.

M G

Fantastic selection but felt a little overpriced. Drinks and dessert were amazing

Lance Glenn

I ordered the Mac and an Inner Glow juice for takeout (it's COVID so there's no dining in), tipped 20%, and they said it would be 10 minutes and to wait outside until they knock on the window. I waited outside in the outdoor seating area for about 15 minutes, then started to wonder what was happening, and after 20-25 minutes I went back in and asked if the Mac and Inner Glow was still on the way. They said they weren't sure where I'd went or if I was coming back, and I said I'd been waiting outside the whole time. They said it had been ready for quite a while and was sitting on the counter. I was frustrated because the food wasn't hot anymore and I'd been waiting for a lot longer than 10 minutes. I asked why they didn't knock on the window when it was ready as I thought they noticed that I was sitting in their outdoor seating area. They said they don't usually knock on the window, they said they think they maybe shouldn't have said that they would knock, and it was dinner rush, and basically blamed me for not coming back in after 10 minutes to get it. I didn't know it was ready though, and I didn't want to be annoying, it just seemed busy and I thought they'd just underestimated how long it would take with all the other orders going on. Anyway, when I explained that I was frustrated about waiting a long time and getting food that wasn't hot, they DID give me a free slice of cheesecake (which would cost $11.50) so I do appreciate that they did that to make up for the mistake. Also, I get that it's COVID and the host / cashier was a one-man team in the front end, so bear in mind this is an unusual circumstance, the service staff have been awesome in past experiences. But it still sucks to be told that they'll let you know when your food is ready and then they don't, and then blame you for not coming in. I think the best solution would be to tell customers clearly & directly that they need to come back in after X amount of time, instead of saying that they'll let you know that it's ready if they're not going to. I'll give them another shot in the future though, it's a great restaurant with great people working there, and mistakes happen. 4 stars anyway. <3

Amazing vegan food!

Normally salad makes me sad but this place was great! I decided to try the Bliss Salad with the fig balsamic dressing and it was perfect. Makes me sad I don't live in Victoria! The Coastal Gin and Tonic was also a pleasant surprise; I didn't think that the kelp would mesh well but I'd have another in a heartbeat...

Jet Boy

Super great food and original menu! One of the best vegan places in Victoria for sure!

Charles McMillan

Phenomenal

Tammy Burgess

Slow paced establishment offering creative and delicious vegan options

Jason Austin

Kinda expensive for the quality of preparation. Many dishes are over spiced and much too salty. This is vegan and gluten free which prepared well could be delicious but the preparation was average.

Daniel R C

This vegan and gluten free restaurant is fantastic! It is deservedly popular, so expect to wait for a seat. We were there before the opera on Feb. 27 and service was excellent as was the food. My Portobella Rubin on buckwheat focaccia was delicious - thick, juicy with the perfect balance of flavours. The accompanying salad of mixed greens could have been torn into smaller pieces as it was comprised of greens like dandelion, frisée and other thin, spindly leaves which was a bit hard to fork up. The cheesecake for dessert was delicious. We will be returning often!

Andrew Still

Friendly staff. Unable to get a seat so ordered takeaway. Asked for no coriander (I strongly dislike it) and unfortunately coriander was put in all bar one of our dishes. The coriander-free dish did taste good.

Andrea Ochagavia

The food is amazing

Kate Potts

I was very disappointed with the service at Be Love. We made a reservation for 5:45 and the restaurant phoned us at 5:38 and rudely asked whether or not we planned to come. When we arrived at the restaurant at the exact time of our reservation, the host curtly informed us that we only had our table until 7:00. It was a rude way to greet guests, and the reminders didn't stop there. We were told repeatedly by staff that they were on a tight time schedule, and we were made to feel rushed and unwelcomed. Our server went so far as to tell us shortly before 7:00 that the next guests had arrived and we would need to leave our table. Quite frankly, I ever never received such rude treatment at a restaurant and I will definitely not be returning to Be Love.

Charline Drapeau

Amazing healthy food

Marc Rose

The vegan mac and cheese is incredible.

ernie slatter

Delicious. Romantic. Flavorful. Plant inspired. LGBTQ Friendly. Stylist. We each had one of the bowls, it was a Valentine's Day weekend date. I had the "Green" bowl, she had the "Mac Bowl." Both were tasty and we took turns taking bites out of a each other's plates! We each got a yummy cheesecake to take back to the hotel, can't wait to sink my teeth into that! Great date spot! Next time we come to Victoria, we will have to come back!

Gail Patterson

Incredibly delicious and mouthwatering vegan appetizers, salads and main dishes. It's on the expensive side for the amount of food you get, but the taste makes up for it. If you're vegan, make sure you ask if the dish is vegan, as we have had a couple mishaps. I wish they had more vegan friendly desserts (they use honey in all their cakes). The staff vary in their friendliness and service.

Timo Scheiber

Lovely food that was tasty but hard to eat. Service was stellar. Might be reserved for special occasions

Tess Wonsiak

Tasty juices with lots of fruit/veggies packed into it. However, the wait time for a take-out drink around lunch time is pretty long (I waited 20 minutes) and the restaurant itself was extremely busy and loud.

Maja Nymann

Amazed I didn't find this gem sooner, everything that comes out of this kitchen is unreal delicious!! The staff are kind, courteous and awesome to boot.

Vegan Panna Cotta! The kitchen nailed this dish! Defintiely coming back for more. They have an intensely diversified drinks menu that features a ton of alcohol free drinks made from scratch.

Roscoe McLean

By far one of the best places for vegan options in Victoria. I absolutely love the ambiance of this place, and they always have the most decadent of desserts!

Michelle Honsberger

There are so many good things I could say about Be Love. I'll start by saying that I never understand half of the menu.. but I've also never been disappointed. The servers are awesome at answering questions and explaining the process and the flavours that are combined in a dish. The food is quality, unique, local, and seasonal. Well worth 5/5.

Kerri S

Lovely staff, and delicious food! Would recommend the Mac. The place feels inclusive to everyone without it feeling like they're trying to follow the newest trend. Great place to catch up with friends or grab a quick bite!

Kevin Lintern

Amazing and delicious food, and I’m not even vegetarian. This is just that good! The menu rotates with regularity to keep everything fresh and it’s all so amazing. The chai soda is absolutely to die for, not too sweet with amazing spices, it has a very very unique taste that I cannot get enough of and sometime I make the decision to go to dinner here specifically because I am craving there chai soda.

Daisy Ni

The beet salad is honestly the best meal I've ever had. Try it. So good. Amazing restaurant. Had the carot cake too. So good

Sio James

Healthy, but expensive and not very filling. There are better vegan options in downtown Victoria.

Byron Silver

Great variety of vegan and gluten free options! I look forward to going again

Andrew R

Good food, some staff at the time were trying really hard to send a hipster vibe and it came off a bit strong. Maybe better next time

Maddy Stringer

Excellent food. Okay service. Sitting arrangement is bit weird .

Chuck Cage

Unbelievable food. Simply amazing. Good cocktails

Rick Frankel

Very tasty. Do not expect 1:1 substitutes for non-vegan dishes. I walked in here to meet a vegan friend. I was cautious and ready to have a chuckle at how vegan/raw food can be stretched to fill the expectations of an omnivore. I was surprised at the quality, creativity, and effort put into the dishes. I had the ZLT (with zucchini bacon) which was very tasty. The bread was packed with seeds and other goodies. Zacon was surprisingly crispy and very fun. Great staff as well. The lunch menu prices are cutting it close to a $$$ rather than $$. I respect the pricing but it is no doubt more expensive than many other lunch places in the surrounding area.

sam abborne

Cody was really helpful and friendly. The juices were delicious. And the vegan “Mac and cheese” was terrific. Will be back. Nice airy atmosphere too.

Pamela K

Delicious, nutritious, healthy food, super creative. Beautiful decor. Great beverages.

Elyssa Lefurgey-Smith

Some of the best vegan food in the city. Nice atmosphere, and very friendly staff.

Rebecca O'Brien

Great healthy choices, nice warm vibe. They made me a custom drink. Nice!

Brett Barrett

This is possibly my favorite restaurant of all time, nevermind of vegan fare. The dishes are so creative and so plentiful. I can't believe what I'm eating with every bite, it's such an experience. Warm, buzzing, comfortable atmosphere. Have had nothing but impeccable service here, everyone being so apt and kind. And.. the cocktails. Dear lord, they impress.

Melissa K

I was really looking forward to having lunch here but yuck! I had the rueban with kale slaw, disgusting. My daughter had the Mac a little better. $60 for a yucky lunch. Disappointing since we don't have many restaurants to choose from.

Vincent Cummings

I'm not a vegan or vegetarian, but this is perhaps the BEST vegan food restaurant in Victoria. The service is friendly & professional and the food is spectacular, despite the high price. It's worth it though! We ordered the mac & cheese, plenty burger with lentil soup, and chai tea cheesecake. Oooo so good!! If going there for dinner, I highly recommend a reservation as the small restaurant is packed with people; there's a few outdoor seating.

Mira Rose

The best tasting, healthy food you never thought to make our easy. Seasonal menu changes every quarter, and devine desserts you won't believe healthy. All gluten free and vegetarian!

Pretty dang good. Only 1 star off since I felt like the portion size was a bit small for the price. But that could just be the proper amount of food to eat and I'm actually a monster

Terry Haddow

Always incredible healthy food and friendly staff.

Mark Nagra

Picture yourself sitting down to the very best local, fresh, seasonal, minimally processed food in this beautiful setting. It's almost as if you can taste the earth itself the food is so fresh. I just can't get enough of the beautifully prepared salads and nourishing soup. It's as if you are treating your body to something so special, somethiing where conversation and companionship are enriched by the food.

Madelaine Gilberg

Gosh! I was very pleasantly surprised when I took a vegan visitor here. I was assuming it would be the usual 'tofu surprise', but it's anything but. I had a hard time deciding what to have because EVERYTHING on the menu looked good. This is where y=the staff stepped in...Super friendly, and knowledgeable about everything on the menu...After asking me a few quick questions, suggestions were made, and I had an incredible meal! I'll definitely be going back...

Belle Burgon

Ironically positioned next to a butcher shop, this iconic vegan restaurant is a favourite of many locals.

Ultra spicy and ultra overpriced for what you get!

Very cozy atmosphere. Food that makes your body happy. Large portions!

Truly happy! Dinner drinks and a 18% tip on top for a little bit over 100 bucks for the two of us. Very well designed plates, lots of flavour and made with unique ingredients. You won't find another vegetarian restaurant in victoria in the ranks with Love. The owners may share my last name but I have absolutely no affiliation with them.

The Green bowl with a side of tempeh, so good.

Macrobiotic bowl is magic! It makes you glow...

Ashley Hayek

Amazing! Stay yummy, stay vegan. And the drink, Kombucha Cure, is SO divine!

Be Love has ( generally ) great, nutritious raw food and an amazing ambiance. However the menu is overpriced ( especially the really plain, small salads ), but since they are really the only restaurant in town running this kind of place, they have that advantage of putting prices high. Hopefully they get some competition to help that resolve a bit. Also, I find the service to be unpredictable. If the owner is there it's great, if not the staff don't seem to care as much and act pretty nonchalant.

Yum

Very healthy and nutritious food......very expensive. But you get what you pay for. I like the fact that they have a Kharma bowl....a delicious mixture of quinoa and veggies that you pay what you can afford for. Nom Noms.

Excellent vegan food. Excellent and friendly service. Dark Green bowl was recommended and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Would definitely return!
