This was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. The service was impeccable, the food exquisitely delicious, and the wine pairings we got with each course complemented the dishes perfectly. Truly, the whole experience was sublime, and my boyfriend and I were so glad that we chose Ugly Duckling to celebrate our first year together.

10 year anniversary with someone who cannot eat onions or garlic is not easy. They were immediately accommodating to our request. They pulled out all the stops to make sure we had a safe and incredible meal. I have to say that dish they made special for my partner was amazing. So if you guys want to put that duck and beetroot dish on the menu you have our votes! We did the 7 course meal and were stuffed. Looking forward to coming back again asap.

An excellent fine dining experience in victoria. The service was excellent. Our server was kind and fun. Having the chef come say hello was an unexpected treat! The service was so good we felt as if we were the only ones in the restaurant.Each dish was flavourful and unique with contrasting complements to keep it interesting. Portions were good for a multi course fine meal. I left quite full! We loved the complex and artistically curated dishes - especially the cucumber vinaigrette and the clams and kimchi! - but will likely remember the chips and brandade most fondly. Thanks team!

Great little restaurant in Victoria’s Chinatown with outstanding food and really nice atmosphere. We had the tasting menu of 7 courses if you count bread and petit fours. The food was absolutely amazing, Chinese milk bread with charred scallion butter, a trio of Chinese street food which include lamb, halibut and a scallop pure beautifully presented to be eaten with chopsticks, then we had cucumber where the water was replaced with champagne, served with thinly sliced albacore tuna, a halibut dish where the halibut was melt in your mouth with a miso buerre blanc, lamb with soybean cassoulet and a delicious dessert with white chocolate toffee sprinkle. Every dish was perfect. The wine list and pairing are also very well done. My only complaint is the timing of the service. A little too long between courses. Service was attentive and the servers were very friendly, but the kitchen needs to tighten up their timing. I love a relaxed pace, but it was just a little too relaxed. Despite that, I highly recommend this restaurant!!! Chef has nailed the food!!

What a wonderful dining experience—in this historic Chinatown building. The seven course tasting menu was superlative. Beautifully plated and served at the perfect pace in order to enjoy each imaginative and delicious course. The halibut, the lamb, the tuna were such unique dishes, each cooked and garnished with such interesting combinations of fresh and imaginative ingredients. Even a delightful presentation before dessert of a palate cleanser. And the dessert was perfect featuring in season strawberries. We especially enjoyed the enthusiastic and detailed explanation of each course as it was served. The staff are a great team, professional and attentive and so creative. They made our dining experience very enjoyable and memorable. Thank you, too, for the fun presentation of apple juice to 3 year old Kieran !

We had the four course tasting menu - every course was absolutely delicious. Fabulous vodka cocktail. Had the tuna, clam chow mein, halibut and strawberry dessert. All top notch. Highly recommend.
