Il Terrazzo in downtown

Romantic Italian Restaurant open lunch & Dinner

- I prefer lunch. Less crowded. Can really enjoy a nice relaxed meal.
- My favorite is the calamari ripieni but I think it is off the menu now. Nevertheless everything else is pretty good.
- Dinner nice, too but they are usually full so make sure you have a reservation
- Nice open kitchen in the back of the restaurant. - Classic Chandeliers with candles on the ceiling
- Beautiful courtyard with heaters for semi-outdoor dining in the summer time 

You should go give it a try.

Kissako Green Tea Cafe in Oak Bay

Been here a couple times. A very friendly couple runs the little place. A lovely mom and pop place. They have tea, sushi, bento box set, udon noodle, ready-to-go items in the display fridge, and some house-made dessert.

Not fancy sushi but I actually liked the flavor. The rice was pressed a little hard when making the sushi. The dessert is good. 

Monster swallowed: 
spicy scallop roll - liked the flavor. nori (seaweed) is a bit chewy. 
cream caramel (no pic) - light texture and not overly sweet.  liked it. 

Like I said, lovely couple runs a small place in the Oak Bay. Please go see them sometimes.

Bark,
