A Victoria staple! Incredible breakfasts, lunch, dinner... but breakfasts and the egg benedict combinations are a MUST. Great atmosphere, great food, fun and friendly wait staff. Not to be missed. more

We went to John's Place for breakfast on October 2, 2009 after a recommendation from the staff of our hotel while we were in Victoria. This place is great!

We recently visited Victoria and had breakfast here twice. Excellent multi-grain french toast and design-your-own omelettes, as well as so many other choices. Try the banana bread as a side, and the Belgian waffle was light and tender. Service was friendly and attentive. Two thumbs up.! more

I've only ever come here for breakfast or brunch. It's always busy but the staff is great at keeping things moving. I had the french toast with cream cheese syrup. Very good and very filling! My friend had the exotic french toast with raisins, bananas and orange liquer. Excellent! I've had the eggs benedict in the past and I'd have... more
