Genoa Bay Cafe

Despite its modest dcor, the dining experience at the Genoa Bay Caf is sure to impress! Our little group of four had the pleasure of savoring Chef Daves culinary expertise recently. I am a very particular eater, a vegetarian, and although there were some sumptuous looking salads on the menu, I was really in the mood for some of their famous fries and perhaps a modified hamburger (without the meat), the filling choices looked great. After discussing my desires with our host the dish delivered to the table was not only beautiful, but exactly as promised the best ever. Although my table mates were relishing their own choices, recognizing their curiosity over my dish, Chef Dave brought them each a small sample of the risotto they loved it too! You simply must not miss a chance to experience the fantastic food, personal attention and wonderful service at the Genoa Bay Caf!

Great food, the view was fantastic and service excellent

Fantastic food, fantastic service and views that can't be beat! We have dined at the Genoa Bay Cafe on numerous occasions and each time everything has been just perfect. From the welcoming, friendly staff, to the superb food presentation and the delicious meals, to a spectacular oceanfront location, we highly recommend it.

Under new ownership, with Gord and Stacey to greet and serve, it couldn't be run by more dedicated, fun and upbeat people.

The chef is amazing, with lots of experience in the best restaurants in BC.

Well done Genoa Bay Cafe ... can't wait to go back!

Sorry bout that review it should have been placed for another restaurant! we placed it in the wrong Review Area. We have been to Benito's Genoa Bay Cafe and Love it! Highly Recommend

The Genoa Bay Cafe is definately not your average restaurant. The food is excellent, the presentation is superb and the service is great. The fruit and vegatables are always fresh. The meat and seafood products are of the highest quality. The cooking staff can turn a meal into an unforgetable dining experience. There is a good reason that customers come regularly from Victoria and Vancouver to dine here. Boaters from BC and the USA are regulars. The Genoa Bay Cafe has a well deserved reputation for relaxed dining over great food and friendly, prompt service. And let's not forget the fabulous view! Talk about a view with a restaurant. I highly recommend this dining experience.

We went here for dinner on friday the 25th , only one server ,the place was a shambles !Absolute chaos not one table had something good to say , there was no reason for being soo understaffed as their sign on the way in ,(along Maple Bay road said TOO BUSY TO CHANGE THE SIGN ) The food was no better or worse than any highway diner ,We will NEVER go back

Our experience at Genoa Bay Cafe has always been delightful! We sail from Sidney just for the experience

This was soo very dissapointing , Barbara s review got me all fired up and excited about celebrating our anniversary here , everything went wrong , the service slow ,the food below average

My family & I were just exploring & tripped across the Genoa Bay Cafe. The setting was restful & picturesque & our tummies were rumbling so we stopped. We were lucky to squeak in as the cafe was filling up fast.

I had the seafood pasta with such fresh mussels, clams, wild salmon, prawns, halibut - & I'm sure at least 2 more things I can't remember. I was a bit leery of ordering this dish because pasta usually means a ton of pasta & a wee taste of seafood. Not here. I ran out of pasta & could barely make it through all the delicious seafood with a tasty sauce.

Other family members (it was my mother's 90th birthday) raved about the prime rib & the halibut. All around us, people were paying their bills & commenting to the waitress that the quality of the place was exceptional.

We were delighted by everything. I was particularly glad to see that the place is now open 7 days a weeks as I'd often driven up from Victoria & it was closed, or just open for lunch.
