Be love is quite literally the best restaurant we've ever dined at. We've been several times now and have never been disappointed. The quality and portions are consistent, flavors are unbelievable. Everything is so fresh, you can really feel the love poured into every dish. A dream spot for anyone who is vegan and/or gluten free but ive also dined there with friends who are neither who have said it's the best food they've had. Keep doing what you're doing, its magic! ❤️🌷🙏
Thank you for making pizza that I can actually eat that tastes amazing. Finding a gluten-free/dairy-free pizza that doesn’t taste like chemicals and sadness is a true feat. ❤️
Absolutely incredible place! Very nice atmosphere, friendly and fast service, delicious bright and sophisticated menu. Gluten-free dishes.
I recommend to everyone!
The BEST spot for a quick meal in Victoria. Buffet, self serve style. The food is always hot and delicious and affordable. Kind staff. Washrooms. Wifi. The best desserts and drinks. Gluten free and dairy free options. Lots of seating for small and big groups.
This place is one of the best restaurants we've been to in a while. Everything we had was fantastic: Beef tenderloin carpaccio, smoked chicken penne, pan seared miso halibut, blackened creole chicken.
My wife has celiac and they have a lot of options. The gluten free penne was probably the best GF pasta she has tried.
We also had a few cocktails and they were all well made. Earl Grey Martini was a stand out for me.
Our server was very nice and accommodating as well and service was very fast.
Had dinner with My best friend and my mother last night. Shalena’s service was exceptional. My mum has food issues that can be a challenge. Shalena could not have been more accommodating.
Mum often avoids going for dinner due to her FOD diet
Mum was so happy to be so well taken care. Thank you for the exceptional service.
They have a special deep fryers to accommodate people who are celiac and willing to adjust a dish to suit my mums food challenges.
Cheers
The pizza is awesome, and really great late night. Gluten free is good too with a tasty crust! Cross contamination can be a thing if you're celiac so heads up. Its so good that its often very busy which means orders can take a while and we now go and pickup because delivery was always taking too long. We still keep going back though cuz its 👌 super tasty.
Tucked in on Wharf (with another spot on Yates), Dosa Paragon nails South Indian comfort food with crispy, perfectly fermented dosas, tangy coconut and tomato chutneys, and hearty sambhar . The signature dishes—like the Butter Chicken Masala Dosa and Mysore Masala Dosa—burst with authentic, bold flavours you won’t easily find elsewhere on Vancouver Island .
Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options make it inclusive and appealing to many dietary preferences. Many guests rave about crisp dosas and excellent chutneys: “Bomb.com for dosa lovers!” . One Redditor even called it “the only proper South Indian restaurant on the island” , and another praised the Butter Chicken Dosa as “fantastic!” .
Service and atmosphere can vary—some mention occasional slowdowns at peak times or small portion sizes for chutney —but most reviews highlight friendly staff and a cozy setup.
Highlights
• Exceptional, large, crispy dosas with vibrant fillings
• Delicious chutneys & hearty sambar
• Inclusive menu: vegan/gluten‑free friendly
• Filter coffee and mango lassi round out the meal nicely
Tips
• Go during off-peak hours to avoid waits
• Parking can be tricky near Yates—Wharf location offers easier access
Bottom line: Authentic South Indian cuisine with bold flavours, a welcoming vibe, and a menu that satisfies vegans and gluten‑free diners alike. A must-visit for dosa lovers in Victoria!
While it was great they had gluten free waffle options, you only get 1 Belgium waffle and if you’re hungry, it won’t be enough. An order of thick cut bacon on the side helped fill the void. Oat milk for our coffees was nice, and the coffee cup sizes are kind of small given the $5 charge. Overall, it was decent - it was a breakfast start to a busy morning - but we’d likely go elsewhere for more value and larger portions.
My wife ordered gluten free, she was served gluten. She is a celiac. Unacceptable. No apology from the server or manager. The item was also left on the bill. I honestly can’t believe this is how this restaurant operates.
NOT great for someone who has Celiac as very limited GF options (no GF burger buns) - they are clear that they cannot guarantee cross contamination, etc. HOWEVER, we did take a chance and ordered the Bacun Crafty Mac N Cheese dish with GF pasta - it was delicious! And so was the London Fog! The staff are friendly and helpful. And the atmosphere was relaxing. Nice to have tasty Vegan food in Victoria!
Authentic Thai food. For lunch we had Red Curry perfect size. My wife had Pad Thai large portion. Great staff. Great service. Our friends from Ottawa recommended this place when they visited Victoria the eat here cause of great food and Gluten-free
Will come again on our next trip. The spring roll was flaky and excellent. There appeared to be five servers at lunch time.
I explicitly asked for gluten free noodles due to an allergy, the cashier misunderstood and made gluten noodles. Spoke to owner and they weren’t willing to remake or refund :(
I ordered the onion rings for my friend who is celiac and from the time I called to the time she was able to eat her first onion rings in over 10yrs.... she is IN BLISS!!!
And I am so excited for her!
Thank-you!!!!
We needed gluten free and we were very happy to know that they have a dedicated gluten free menu and they use a dedicated gluten free fryer for their food. It can be really hard to find a lot of places like this, but this is by far my favourite place to eat in Victoria! I really want to thank everyone there who made it very easy to find safe food for us.
Delicious, gluten free options, great staff! My only feedback is that the store is so freezing cold to sit in. I’m wearing my toque are so are the staff 😅

We took our grandson for an early dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the food. There was a gluten choice of noodles which many places don’t have. Upon leaving, we forgot our umbrella and they were so kind that after almost over a month, they still kept it for us. Very friendly staff

Excellent pad thai and thai food is my favourite. Service was lovely and personable, cheesecake dessert was gluten free and vegan friendly which was awesome. Support local!
My fav vegan soft serve and they're good gluten-free stuff for celiac folks too. When I mentioned it they got my sundae topping from the sealed containers to be extra careful. 💗 I really appreciate that.
Great salads and good prices. It's hard to find a good salad on the go and this is my go to across Canada. I've been to 8 franchises in 5 provinces this past month. Great for celiacs too! I usually dine in when on the road but why is the music so loud? Yes I'm older...not 18 anymore but I like a bit of peace while eating or trying to talk while dining. Other than that great little spot.
As a celiac, this place was easy to share plates (something we don't often get to do with our friends and family). Loved all the GF options on the menu and the variety. Food was so delicious.
