Green Leaf Bistro 4.45/5

Green Leaf Bistro Restaurant Info

Feeling the need for comfort food on an overcast Saturday, Mr. Blue and Mr. Pink felt it was a good day for pho. When done well, there's nothing quite as satisfying as a big bowl of noodle soup. Today we decided to try Green Leaf Bistro, located on Blanshard near Fisgard.

Upon entering the bistro, we were greeted by friendly staff. The restaurant itself has been recently repainted and slightly renovated making for a clean environment. Compared to some of the other Vietnamese restaurants in town, the decor and table settings were quite a bit cleaner and well presented.

L&C Bubble Tea House 4.45/5

L&C Location

After eating out at Seto sushi both Mr. Pink and Mr. Blue were feeling a little thirsty. It was recommended to us to try L&C Bubble Tea House (formerly known as L & G Bubble Tea House). Not only do they have fresh fruit in house but also with a VIP card you can get large bubbleteas for only $3.00. What a steal if so for blue collar connoisseurs if not only it tastes fresh and good, but is also of great value! Mr. Pink had the fresh red grape fruit juice with tapioca pearls and Mr. Blue had the fresh lychee fruit juice with tapioca pearls. We were both delightfully surprised and will definitely come back for such great deals.

Seto Sushi 4.05/5

Seto Sushi Homepage

While in Vancouver (Richmond) both Mr. Pink and Mr. Blue decided to try out a local sushi restaurant called Seto Sushi. We had been here before for dinner, however, it has been a while since then. We came with a group of friends so we were able to see and try many more dishes than if it were just us two.

Med Grill 4.40/5

Med Grill (Royal Oak) Restaurant Info

For a special occasion Mr. Blue and Miss Violet were invited to have a meal at the Med Grill restaurant in the Royal Oak area of Victoria. We have been here before, however, we have never officially done a food review on the place! There is no better time than the present.

Because of the occasion, we were provided the opportunity to have a set dinner menu for the evening. This is a four course meal for $23.97 (before tax). We decided to take full advantage of it as the descriptions sounded very delicious. We started off with an antipasto which was toasted Nan bread served with basil pesto, caramelized red onions, brie cheese, and balsamic reduction. Very tasty and very fresh, although we wished there were more. I guess that's what the complimentary bread basket is for! Following the antipasto came the salad or soup dish. We decided to try the Butternut Squash Zuppa which is a soup garnished with a nutmeg infused creme freche. Very creamy and warms the stomach through and through with that hearty home kind of feeling.

Hernandez 4.05/5

Hernandez's Homepage

On Saturday afternoon, Mr. Pink and Mr. Blue decided to try out a Central American restaurant in Victoria named Hernandez. The restaurant is located on the ground floor to an office building between View and Yates street. Our first impressions on a walk-by was it was a petite eatery with seating on the outside of the establishment. We picked up our own menus and then went up to the cashier to order. We decided to order food such that the both of us could share easily... and that ended up being four different orders of tacos! The bean, pork, and chicken tacos came with 5 tacos per order, whereas the beef tacos came with 3 tacos only. Here are our group reviews below. We'll breakdown what we thought of each taco and then give the score summary at the end.
