Restaurants in Langford

Joe's FoodBar pays homage to the traditional wharfside crab shack by fusing stunning oceanfront vistas with fresh seafood feasts and a licensed bar equipped with restrooms. Guests dine on Pacific fish and chips, chowders, specialty hot dogs and sandwiches in the brisk, salty air of a 140-seat patio, drinking in the sights of Inner Harbour as sailboats drift past and seagulls vainly attempt to pick fights with the sunset. This natural beauty inspires Joe's FoodBar to act as a steward for the environment, pledging to use compostable or recycled flatware and cups and to source all food from local fisheries and farms whenever possible.

As the sun sets over Victoria’s Inner Harbour, light streams through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Wharfside Seafood Grille, casting the brick patio in a pink glow. Inside the restaurant, which is operating under new ownership and management, the clientele enjoy the view through large windows whose panes are separated by dark wooden grilles for a ship's-cabin-like feel. The prime seaside setting not only defines Wharfside’s space, but inspires its cuisine. In addition to steaks and other land-based fare, chefs season locally snagged crab, prawns, and halibut with elegant flourishes such as tomato-apricot salsa and maple-soy reduction. Additionally, the new management of Wharfside Seafood Grille vows to serve only sustainably caught fish and abstain from fencing with swordfish.

Taco Time's dedicated taco artisans enhance their menu of fast Mexican eats with shells, chips, taste-bud-kicking sauces, and beef prepared fresh in-store each day. They dish up bite-size, deep-fried Mexi-Fries alongside spicy meals, and for dessert, they shower empanadas and Crustos with cinnamon, sugar, and warm fuzzies to make them extra sweet. Their original hot sauce enflames such entrees as quesadillas and burritos stuffed with canadian cheddar, and guests can take swigs of Pepsi products to cool their sizzling tongues more effectively than licking a snowman.

If it’s not the scent of freshly baked pastries and cookies that lures noses toward Broadmead’s goodies, then it’s the shelf stocked with freshly baked gourmet breads, all crusty surfaces and soft surprises inside. But once guests force their eyes away from all the single-serving treats, the chalkboard menu boasting specialty organic coffee drinks, italian sodas, and hot breakfast fare is what turns eye candy moments into casual mealtime at the bakery. Along with custom omelettes served with flaky croissants and fruit crepes for breakfast, the allergy-aware bakers also gladly prepare wheat- and dairy-free options while striving to keep all menu items peanut-free. During lunch, vegetarian soups and hot paninis offer patrons a quick getaway for the senses while dining inside the café or alfresco on the large sidewalk patio. :m]]

Situated inside the Travelodge Duncan, Sequoia Kitchen + Buffet satisfies families of travellers and locals alike with a menu of elegant comfort foods. Chefs wield a gourmet touch when creating such dishes as lobster mac 'n' cheese or pulled-pork sandwiches cut into the shape of a giant truffle. The kitchen also serves breakfast daily and sets out lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch buffets that feature 14 hot dishes, two soups, and a salad and dessert bar.

Inspired by the marriage of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera—two Mexican artists with two very different aesthetics—brother-and-sister team Antonio and Rocio Pina opened Frida’s and filled its menu with a combination of classic Mexican fare and new, regional cuisine. Recipes on the ever-changing menu come from the Pinas’ frequent visits to Mexico. Chefs douse burritos and enchiladas with chipotle chilies and dark chocolate sauce. Chicken, steak, and seafood arrive at tables in a myriad of zesty dishes, and meat-free fare includes crepes stuffed with sautéed veggies. An outdoor patio offers ample sunshine during meals while the restaurant’s interior is decorated with dark-wood accents, decadent chandeliers, and jewel-toned seating which pay homage to the work of its namesake. In addition, a floor-to-ceiling display of more than 280 bottles of tequila, cognac, and wine divides the bar and dining room and can only be passed through via osmosis.
