The Mac was savory creamy cheesy goodness with hearty pieces of mushroom + toast. This time I tried the Influencer salad and now that's my favorite!

Great spot for Vegan diet! I like the diverse food options in addition to the vegan fried chicken…read morefood options here. There are also chicken burger, dessert and Indian cuisine. Vegan and Gluten free desserts available and I was impressed that they started an Indian chaat house menu over 6 months ago. My friend said vegan chicken burger here was amazing so I was enticed to try and yes, her review was solid~! Their chicken and crepe won me over and I really loved the fresh strawberries crepe when I dined in. Service here was friendly and the ambiance is simple and clean with a couple free board/table games to play. It's a decent size with about 3 tables for 4 with couple tables for 2 plus window bar seats. I would definitely return and hope to try more of their vegan and gluten free dessert next time paired with their Indian chaat house items plus a nice cup of Indian masala tea.

Fun fauxtail drink alternatives for those who prefer non-alcoholic. For 4, we were about a 60% on the hunger scale and got these dishes to enjoy: * Hummus + Pita, * Fried Haloumi - Surprising and fun flavour combo. Enjoyed the sweetness of walnut and apple charoset and it tasted strongly of browned butter which was lovely. * Lamb Meatballs - Loved I'm a big fan of mint + lamb. If only there were more :') * Fried Chicken - The slightest bit salty on the sauce that settled at the bottom but juicy tasty chicken. * Seared Ahi Tuna - Heavy punch of smokiness and char from the baba ganoush which I was not prepare for but was pleasantly surprised nonetheless! * Crispy Cauliflower - Big fan of cauliflower with some char; it was crisp yet tender to the bite. Delicious. During our 5-day retreat on the Sunshine Coast, our dinner hear was the most unforgettable. Grateful to Lisa, our host (and the owner), for welcoming and slotting us in for a dinner reservation on the day-of. Lucky to experience The Pink House Bistro with the lovely staff running the place with her. We look forward to revisiting in the future, hopefully remaining just as soulful as it was during our visit.

After spending several days at a rejuvenating yoga retreat, the last thing my friend and I wanted…read morewas a heavy meal. Meat wasn't even on our radar--we were craving something fresh, nourishing, and full of flavor. After checking into our hotel, we headed out on a walk to explore Victoria. Well...our "little stroll" turned into quite the adventure and ended with us catching a ferry taxi back. And here I thought Las Vegas was the city of walking! Still in search of the perfect healthy dinner, we asked the front desk for a recommendation. Without hesitation, she suggested Be Love, mentioning its incredible vegan menu and abundance of gluten-free-friendly options. It sounded exactly like what we were looking for. From the moment we walked in, we loved the atmosphere. The restaurant was bright, clean, welcoming, and had a fun, upbeat energy that made us feel right at home. We started with a couple of refreshing drinks and shared the mezze platter, which was the perfect way to ease into the meal with a variety of fresh, vibrant flavors. Then came the stacked tacos...and apparently our hunger had reached DEFCON 1 because I completely forgot to take a picture before we devoured them! If you've ever looked at your empty plate and thought, "Oops...I guess that was photo-worthy," you'll understand. Fortunately, I remembered dessert. We took home the chocolate caramel brownies and a protein cookie to enjoy later. The protein cookie was good, but those chocolate caramel brownies absolutely stole the show. Rich, decadent, perfectly balanced, and dangerously delicious--I would happily make a return trip just for those alone. Whether you're vegan, gluten-free, or simply someone who appreciates creative, flavorful food made with quality ingredients, Be Love is absolutely worth a visit. It was the perfect ending to a peaceful yoga retreat, and I'd gladly return the next time I'm in Victoria.
