Shine Cafe invites you to their establishment. Come unwind on their terrace under the sun and can get there not only by car but also by public transit. The surrounding area is remarkable for its parks.
Breakfast comes to mind when you first think of this popular family-owned restaurant but they serve up a mean salad as well. The Texican features sautéed house-roasted chicken breast served with home-made cornbread. Or there’s the Pacific Sunset salad with maple-sautéed wild Pacific salmon, toasted pecans, avocado and feta cheese. Sure, you can still come for the great breakfasts, but with salads like these you may want to stick around for lunch as well.
You may have seen Shine featured on Food Network’s You Gotta Eat Here back in 2012. This diner-style eatery is famous for their egg bennies, but their options for sweet teeth are just as good. Their Famous Pancakes are made from scratch and come with a choice of two mix-ins. If you’re ravenous, you can even pair the cakes with bacon and eggs for a few dollars more! They serve breakfast all day at both of their Victoria locations.
Shine is such a popular breakfast joint there are two Victoria locations. Head to the downtown café for a vibrant mix of cheery yellow walls and colourful stained glass windows. Expect to wait for a table at peak times, but you’ll be rewarded with generous portions of re-vamped breakfast classics. Your mouth will water over their nine versions of eggs Benedict. The more adventurous options include perogies topped with bacon, caramelized onions and garlic hollandaise. There’s even an eggs benny served on a quesadilla filled with refried beans, bell peppers and caramelized onions.
