Oysters, bouillabaise, burgers, salad, vegetarian, even thai dishes are all good here. And its my favourite lunch treat in downtown Victoria. Everyone tries to give you a good time and it has loads of character...more like a bistro/pub not a fancy restaurant. Pricing is value and locals are loyal to this joint. more

Good restaurant in a good location. If you love fish Ferris’ is the right place. Close to the Inner Harbor this place is crowded, so be prepared to wait several minutes for a table....but it's worth it because dishes are delicious at reasonable price. I really suggest this restaurant. more

We read reviews for Ferris online and they were glowing so we decided to try lunch on a Saturday afternoon. We were able to get a table indoors immediately for our party of four. We then waited more than 15 minutes to get a menu and order drinks. The drinks came after another 10-15 minutes. After 30 minutes of sitting... more

My wife and I had dinner here the other night. I had a half-dozen oysters on the half-shell for an appetizer which were good, although beware of the habanero sauce topping that they give you -- it's quite volcanic and will knock you out if you take too much at once. For a main course I had the bouillabaise, which... more

If you are a fan of oysters, then Ferris' is the place to go - not expensive and very fresh. We also tried various tapas/appetizers and they were all tasty. We ate in the upstairs lounge, which is funky, yet stylish. more

We reserved a table at Ferris' based on the reviews I read on this site. We were expecting a wide selection of very fresh oysters well presented, bit of quirky service, and a busy place. That's exactly what we got. We were initially seated indoors but a table opened on the patio soon after we were given menus and water... more

We would have loved to sit on the couches but had a great experience at the bar. Sitting at the bar we got to watch the food prep. The oyster chowder is made fresh one serving at a time. The menu was very unique, very fresh, and reasonably priced. We had oysters baked 6 ways for $13 and each of... more

I grew up in Victoria and remember Ferris' 20 years ago. It was great then and is great now. I visited last week. My wife and I both ordered the Japaneses Oyster Burger, which was to die for. We have two kids 3 & 1, whom we split a $5 kids meal. It came split into 2 portions, and we... more

My three friends and I ate here tonight, and it was excellent. I think the prices are great for the quality of food you get. The atmosphere is small and nice for a quiet dinner. The service was great too. We had the mussels for an app, they were super. I had the prawns for my dinner and some local... more
