We indulged at AURA for our 20th anniversary recently. Simon, our server, was fantastic, food was wonderful -- the only problem was the table in the way of the exit...

The chef is imaginative, the food is delicious, the service is efficient and friendly, and the location is great.

Service was kind, attentive and unobtrusive. The buckwheat croissant warm, flaky and delicious was the start to one of the best meals in Victoria!
