Great place for lunch if you work in the area. The hot specials are tasty and their soup and sandwiches are good too. The easy fries are a great snack and only a couple bucks.
Great cafe. Staff were friendly, drinks were well made and nice. I had lunch here, bangers and mash, with an amazing flavorful gravy. Process were white reasonable.
I have been a fan of Sol Food for over 15 years. A beautiful location on the Selkirk Waterfront with a beautiful Wisteria framed patio that makes you feel like you are on a a European vacation. The service is fast and friendly and the food is healthy and lovingly created with the feeling of home. From the desserts to the entree's, you can't go wrong with lunch at this popular local Victoria eatery. It is busy, but there is never an issue finding a seat. A wonderful place to languish, grab a quick bite or take something out. The lemon bars are out of this world! A great affordable place for lunch.
Daily specials and a nice grill menu. Nice selection of pastries and baked good too. Can get pricey if you add a drink or desert to a meal at lunch.
Poor value but OK if you're in a rush. Sol is the kind of place where you line up and place your order and then they'll bring it to your seat. There's lots on the menu and there's always a daily special. I find the specials vary greatly in quality and often are pretty bland. Every so often they do something like fried chicken and it's awesome but on average it's nothing to write home about. Chicken burger is OK. Lunch runs me around $15, which if you go across the street to Glo you can spend about the same for a much better lunch experience with a view of the Gorge.
When calling in to order my food deciding the lady on the phone rushed me off because she had a line and told me to hurry up and pick a side. I ordered the most simple thing which was chicken strips with no side. When i got to the restaurant to pick it up i got 3 small luke warm strips that were $9.75 for just the stripsnot worth $9.75 even if my customer service had been better. I was a fan of the pastries and baked goods but never there entries due to everything being over priced, after that experience i dont think i will be going back.
For what it is it exceeded my expectations. Not bad!
Uninspiring.
Sol Food Cafe is one of the best eating establishments in the city. The food is always fresh, there's a variety to choose from, and the kitchen staff go over-and-above in their attention to good quality 'home-cooked' meals.
I've been eating at Sol Food for nine years now and thought it's finally time to share my thoughts on this place! I love their food - their featured entrees of the day are always so flavourful but better than a typical restaurant because they're healthy, home-cooked-style meals. Their chef is amazing and always comes up with fantastic dishes that are worthy of five stars. The soups are also of the same quality, and they have a large selection of salads to choose from. I also appreciate the staff - very friendly, and even if there's a line-up you don't wait long at all.
