About the restaurant

Ugly Duckling takes its inspiration from the intersection between Coastal BC's magical landscapes and the rich cultural heritage of North America’s oldest Chinatown. We offer experiential dining built around two promises: to serve you only those things which we have made by hand; and to work really, really hard to make you smile. We can't wait to welcome you.

The Café Brio, located in Victoria, has been a local favorite for twenty six years, serving up a rustic, Italian inspired menu. Focusing on regional products, Café Brio led by multi awarded Chef Sam Harris selects the highest quality ingredients from local sources to be used in authentic, creative dishes.

At Café Brio, everything is prepared in house. Pasta favorites include gnocchi with roasted leeks, parmesan cream and basil purée, Spaghettini with tomato, garlic, basil, olive oil and parmigiano and also our wild mushroom risotto. From the Sea enjoy seared scallops with peroxides, delicata squash, carmelo and bacon anchovy vinaigrette or our local fish feature. Lastly the Parry Bay Lamb feature from our friends out in Metchosin is an absolute must.

The wine list is extensive with input from multiple Sommeliers on staff always excited to share their new favourite bottle in our unique and cozy dining room.

Earls has a great atmosphere, the lighting is good and the noise/music level is low so you can have conversations with the people at your table and hear the staff! We were treated very well and since we were celebrating a birthday, there were deserts for the table at the end. It was very lovely! Heather took excellent care of us. thanks!

The Courtney Room has gone upscale in recent years. The menu is excellent, the service outstanding, and the broken-up spaces mute what is occasionally a somewhat noisy room.

Kudos to the talented chefs and attentive servers. Our experience at SHH was genuinely remarkable. Jermery, our server, exemplified politeness and impressive knowledge of the menu. The Caesar salad and brown butter scallops were nothing short of phenomenal. We look forward to our return!

The prime rib stuffed Yorkshire pudding seasonal appetizer was wonderful! We shared our usual bacon-wrapped fillet, and it was perfectly cooked and deliciousious as always. We were in a bit of a rush, and our waiter, Chan, graciously accommodated our needs. (Next time I’ll do a better job scheduling.) You can’t go wrong g at The Keg!
