Royal Oak, West Saanich Road
More infoFireside Grill lives in a lovingly restored Tudor heritage manor set in a grove of wild oaks in Saanich, which already wins the 'sounds made up but is real' award. Fireplaces crackle inside, two heated garden patios spread outside, and the West Coast kitchen has collected so many Times Colonist Readers' Choice wins they probably need a trophy drawer. At 4.4 across a thousand-plus reviews, book the fireside seats.
Book ahead and request the fireside seats in winter or a garden-patio table under the oaks in summer, the setting in this restored Tudor manor is half the date. Work through the farm-to-table menu of West Coast favourites with European and Asian touches, and budget close to two hours so you're not rushing. Don't miss a fireplace seat if there's a chill in the air. It's about ten minutes from downtown, so it pairs well as the anchor of a quieter date out west.
