2. Charlotte and the Quail (505 Quail Road)
This charming cafe (their sister restaurant is the equally cute Nourish Kitchen & Cafe in James Bay) has a small but delicious ever-changing menu depending on what’s in season. Best patio in the “city” as you look out at beautiful gardens that belong to the Pacific Horticultural College.

3. Roost Farm Centre (9100 E Saanich Road)
An interesting mix of farm, bistro, bakery, and vineyard, this family-run North Saanich hot spot grows a lot of their ingredients right there on the farm including their grapes that make their wines. Go for the Brown Butter Pumpkin Pie but stay for the Siegerrebe!
