From the team behind Vancouver’s award-winning restaurants Blue Water Cafe, Elisa, CinCin, Whistler’s Araxi, Il Caminetto, and Bar Oso, as well as New York City’s Oceans and Carlotto, Toptable Group’s Marilena is the elevated dining experience Victoria has been anticipating. The menu is crafted of West Coast cuisine with local and globally sourced seafood paired with high-quality sustainable ingredients that adhere to the highest standards, but one of the elements that stands out at Marilena Cafe is the service.
