About this restaurant

Innovative
Lively
Good for groups

Mint Restaurant in Victoria, British Columbia features a number of daily specials, which means it's always worth stopping in to see what's available. Otherwise, you're looking at an eclectic menu that offers an assortment of gluten-free items. For example, you could order any of the large selection of curries, varied tasting boards or even the Nachos and none of them would contain gluten.

As an entrée, the Thunder Spaghetti at The Mint Restaurant is very popular. Just the fact that it's made in house from scratch is a change for most people. Another great entrée at Mint Restaurant is the ginger cilantro sticky rice, which is also gluten-free.

This review is written for the Over 55 Crowd - don't be shy. Yes, we dragged the average age up by about 200%, but the sound levels were comfortable (2 of 3 of us are hearing-challenged and assisted), there service was attentive and very pleasant, and the food was excellent. Mint is a funky, sub-street level bistro that seems to be very popular with younger people, and everybody who was there was respectful and seemed to be having a lot of fun hanging out with friends. Remember those days? Keep in mind that we were there on a Saturday night between 10:00 and midnight. They have space for live music and a DJ, and I can't speak to what sound volumes would be like when the music gets going, but for an after-show supper, it was a very nice infusion of youthful energy and bohemian ambiance.

When we arrived, the bartender was also serving as the waitress. She came by once to give us menus and ask if we wanted something to drink. We told her we were still deciding, and she returned to the bar to serve other customers. However, she never came back to our table. After waiting for some time without receiving any further service, we decided to leave. Unfortunately, we felt that the service was poor and that our experience was disappointing.

Fantastic as always. Everything was delicious, service was attentive without hovering, and an error in main dish protein was quickly fixed and made right.

The worst Dine Around of 2026! The place - dive bar feel upon walking in. Only a few tables around because they moved the majority next door for the comedy club. I wanted to turn around and leave. The service - had to ask for the dine around menu; water cup was NEVER refilled; finished dishes were removed ONLY upon request; no mention of additional charges for naan when offered, very misleading as the meal came with them. We did not even touch them and only found out on the bill they were extra. The food - edible but nothing worth mentioning. So much so that the leftovers we boxed were left for a homeless person. The value - for a $45 dinner, it would have been worth it based on reading the menu. Overall - NO Star if I could help it. Not sure how they have been in business for 20 years as claimed on their website.

45 minutes before we were supposed to arrive we were called stating that they had overbooked the dining room and would be be OK to go into the Next room where there was a magic show. We agreed to this, but would rather have booked another evening. The service was incredibly poor and then our curry was so hot. We couldn’t eat it. They seated another couple at our table as they had run out of room. Overall, not impressed at all.
