You're going there for the solid rib sticking food that will make you want to come back again. There is no pretense here, just straight forward what you see is what you get. Ryan M took great care of us while there, we backed for nothing. That said he has a personality, which we love, no shrinking violet here. My traditional bennie was good, with house cooked ham, eggs exactly as I asked for and potatoes shaped differently than you typically see. They were great for mopping up the leftovers. The lovely K Huevos Incredibalos was also good. She opted for two tortillas instead of three and enjoyed every bite. Would we go back, hell yeah we would!

Friend got a custom omelette for $21.95, and I had the Herb Hudson Benedict for $23.95. Their POS system had issues. It rejected multiple cards before the waitress thought to use a different machine, then there weren't any problems.

Indoor seating was full, but we got a table for 2 right away on the patio. It was awful weather, but the patio is covered and heated, so it was actually fine. My food and drink were really good! I got a strawberry matcha latte and the Mt Doug benny. The matcha was good and the strawberry wasn't too sweet. It came with a little biscotto, which was a treat both to dip in the drink and eat on its own. The benny was delicious - all the toppings went well together and the pesto was great. The latke base was interesting. I liked the latkes but I would probably get the bagel base if I could do it over again for a little less oil. I thought I ordered half salad/half fruit for my side, but I got fruit and potatoes. Didn't feel like sending it back. It was a lot of potato, but the side potatoes were admittedly really good with lots of seasoning. Our waiter was attentive and very friendly. They asked us to move over a table at one point before we even got our food so they could accommodate a bigger group, and it was no big deal for us, but they were nice enough to comp our drinks as thanks.

Someone we passed on the street recommended Avalon, so we gave it a try. The place is small and cozy and we did not have a wait on a Saturday morning. The place had a very homey, family style that I adored. Our server was very busy (she had all the tables to herself) but she was really nice and good at her job. The food was very reasonably priced and super yummy. I got the breakfast sandwich and my husband got the omelet. I recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

On the far edge of Canada--about as west as the map allows--you wouldn't expect to stumble into a…read morelove letter to the east. Yet tucked into the rhythm of downtown Victoria, a few steps from the grand columns of the British Columbia Parliament Buildings, sits a deli that feels like it took a bite out of Montreal and carried it across the entire country. Broughton Street Deli doesn't pretend to reinvent anything. That's the point. It's a place that understands the quiet dignity of doing something simple--really well. The Montreal smoked meat arrives the way it should: thin-sliced, warm, and stacked with reckless generosity between bread that knows its job is simply to hold the miracle together. Each slice is tender, smoky, and rich, the kind of meat that folds onto itself like velvet. Then comes the mustard--made in-house, sharp and bright, cutting through the fat just enough to remind you why this sandwich has survived generations. Take a bite and for a second you forget you're standing on the Pacific. It's a small culinary miracle: the farthest west of Canada faithfully channeling a food tradition born nearly 4,000 kilometers away in Quebec. But the sandwich isn't the whole story. Behind the counter is a husband-and-wife team who've been running this place for nearly two decades. The kind of couple that greets regulars by name and first-timers like they've been expected all along. There's a certain immigrant grit to the place--work hard, build something honest, send the kids off to get the education you never had. The quiet, proud arc of a family business that didn't just survive but became part of the neighborhood. And they're not slowing down. You see it in the rhythm of the room. Regulars drift in for "the usual." Newcomers get a smile and a gentle nudge toward whatever the owners think you should try today. Sit long enough and the place turns into a little theatre of Victoria life. Don't skip the sweets. The cookies and butter tarts are homemade--real homemade, not the marketing department kind. And the peanut butter cookie, somehow both indulgent and gluten-free, has picked up awards that make sense the second it hits your mouth. So slow down. Grab a seat. Let the sandwich drip a little mustard on the paper. Talk to the owners. Talk to the stranger next to you. Watch the steady parade of locals who clearly know they've found something good. Because in a city surrounded by marble halls, political speeches, and the formal gravity of the legislature, sometimes the most genuine place in the neighborhood is a deli counter quietly serving one perfect sandwich at a time. CHEERS!!!

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE Decent food and good service meet good…read moreprices (for downtown Victoria) at Frank's - recommended if you're looking for something quick and low-key when downtown! === 2. FOOD Full Breakfast ($15.99) Three eggs your way, two bacon, two sausage, one ham, two slices of toast, and your choice of hash browns or grilled tomato are included - good for one person or perhaps one person with a lighter appetite sharing with a small child. Western Omelette ($13.49) Ham, bell peppers, and onions mix in with the eggs along with hash browns and two slices of toast - it was decent! Note: toast comes with one packet of jam only - not sure if you can get more and/or peanut butter... Honeybuns ($2.49 each) It's a Chinese-style cocktail bun - it's a little small on the outside, but with plenty of sesame seeds on top. It's typical of what Victoria's Chinatown used to serve commonly 20 years ago. Only have the inside has the coconut topping, which already makes it pretty sweet, the rest is nice, soft doughy goodness. Recommended. They also serve lunch options; a small Chinese buffet of seven or eight items (noodle, rice, and 5-6 entrees) are available - catering to the taste of those looking for Western-oriented Chinese cuisine. === 3. SERVICE Frank is the previous owner; Henry and others now run the joint and he was very friendly. His service and the food was relatively quick. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's cozy, with mirrors on one wall and display cases for food and seating at the window bar style or at tables of 2 or four in the middle. You might be able to bring a big group here, but you'd take up all of the space. It's very clean (windows, mirrors, and all) and relatively bright, so it's welcoming. One could bring wheelchairs and baby strollers but it may be a bit of a squeeze without being near the front door. Parking is limited to whatever you can find on the street (at downtown city rates - which aren't crazy at about $3.75 for an hour).
