Food is its own love language, but it gets even better when it’s served in a cozy room, a candlelit booth, or with the most stunning view of the city. OpenTable analyzed over 900,000 diner reviews and metrics to find the restaurants that diners loved for romance, and this year, four Victoria restaurants made the list. 

Boom + Batten

With its perfect view of the Inner Harbour, Boom + Batten’s elevated casual dining offers guests an experience inspired by the Pacific Northwest surroundings. Visitors can enjoy a diverse selection of meals, from fresh seafood, pasta, pizza, to delectable desserts, all while taking in the stunning waterfront scenery. With beautiful architecture and detailed décor, the restaurant and its bar is the perfect spot for date night. Enjoy a stroll around the Songhees Walkway before or after dinner, grab a cocktail, good food, and have a great time.

Finn's Seafood, Chops and Cocktails

Located in a historic 19th century building, Finn’s Seafood Chops and Cocktails offers a warm, classic atmosphere that suits any occasion—especially one that calls for a celebration. The menu is a seafood lover’s dream, with appetizers like fresh steamed mussels and new items like a tuna tartare, making way for even more luscious entrées like live dungeness crab, lobster spaghetti, crispy skin sablefish, and more. If you are not into seafood, there are other options like steak, pork chops, burgers, and pizzas. The restaurant has recently made upgrades to their look, making it more beautiful than ever. The views of the inner harbour at Finn’s are one of the best you can find, and if you get a stunning sunset while dining there you are one of the lucky ones.
