The CHEESE SAUCE is a must try and I crave it every time I am away from town. Their classic cheese pizza, pepperoni pizza, Hawaiian pizzas are all classic and delicious. The crust is a softer, breadier crust with nice flavour, the cheese is not too greasy, ans the sauce is bright and tomato forward. We used to get Panago pizzas at school as a reward for reading books and man, did that free pizza taste glorious.

We recently ordered pizzas (2 vegan and 1 vegetarian) from Panago in Sidney. We were all so…read morepleasantly surprised at the speed and accuracy in which our order was filled and thoroughly appreciated a phone call to double check an ingredient selection (regular cheese via non dairy cheese) that we had made in error. The pizzas arrived quickly, very hot - obviously fresh from the oven and delicious. We all agreed it was by far the best Panago experience we've ever had! Thanks so much!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Fox & Monocle in the North Saanich/Sidney area, and the…read moreexperience was truly memorable. From start to finish, everything was beautifully prepared and wonderfully served. We began with the truffle gougere -essentially delightful little cream puffs filled with melted parmesan that were absolutely to die for. Each bite was rich and delicious. Next up was the bread served with onion butter, which had a fantastic flavor profile. My only tiny wish was that the bread had been toasted just a bit to help that lovely butter melt right in. For the main course, we shared a mushroom pie that was beautifully presented and had that comforting, home-cooked feel. The standout dish of the night, though, was the rock fish. The fish was tender, flaky, and paired with pillowy soft gnocchi that was just perfect in texture. We ended the meal with a dark chocolate namelaka (a type of soft biscuit) and a sticky toffee pudding, both beautifully presented. The sticky toffee pudding was delicious, though I personally would have loved just a bit more of that rich sauce to soak up the entire cake, Overall, the service was wonderful, and the meal was impeccable. The area is truly lucky to have such a fine dining gem, and I can't wait to go back again!

Every baked good was perfectly semetrical and there were regulars, bicyclists, and families. The only thing missing was the cool color tones of a Wes Anderson movie to capture mood and dialogue. I tried two of the breakfast sandwiches: beef and an egg and sausage. Both were delicious. I also tried their galette with mushroom and cheddar. It was a nice savory bite of crunch from the pastry dough , and texture of the mushrooms and spices. My belly was full for the direction of my 3 hours on the island. Service was very good also.

I thought I'd return, to use the cards and also give them another chance. Well, it will be my last time. The overall staff "vibe" is too busy doing whatever to help. We ordered some mortadella from the deli, didn't specify the thickness and wasn't asked, we came home to find it cut super thick (think bologna). Our fault for not specifying. $19 for 500g We then asked for a loaf of raisin bread. It was listed for $7.25 yet on the receipt it was $9..... A $8 bag of crouton sticks and we ventured to the cafe. This time knowing better we didn't order hot food. A few cookies and a mocha. This was fine, however the mocha seemed to lack mocha... was very pale in colour, not sure if it was missed or just weak. Not sure this will matter to anyone as the store seems to have a very loyal following and is busy. But we won't be back again.

I had breakfast here with my daughter. As part of our stay, we were entitled to a free elite…read morecontinental breakfast, but chose to take the value credit to order other items instead: - Beef Hash: Good. I think it used the same sauce as the Shakshuka, so it has a bit of heat. Potatoes were still crispy. Generous portion size. My only observation was the beef was cubed, when I normally see it shredded - the use of cubes makes it feel more like leftovers. - Crepes: Very good. My daughter devoured them. She's normally a slow eater, but she ate it really quickly, which meant it was very good. Service was nice, but given how quiet it was, the food came out very slow. I would say close to 20 minutes. The restaurant has a giant window panels overlooking the golf course, which is a spectacular view on a sunny morning. It's also a nice, looking restaurant. The final bill was slightly confusing as they add a partial service charge, but it amounted to small percentage that wasn't close to a standard 15-18% tip. I think it was supposed to reflect an inclusive tip that was covered by the free breakfast voucher, but I'm not sure. Just required a little math. Overall, it was better than I had expected. Beautiful space and good food. I would return to the hotel and the restaurant.
