Wow, for what ever reason we have eaten at many other establishments in Victoria but Matisse. That was a error of judgement on our part. Such an intimate and wonderful place. The service was fantastic, the wine selection and pairings perfect. I certainly could not give justice to the quality and the flavour of the food. A quality place that... More

Once again, we had an absolutely delightful dinner and experience. The food and service was exquisite. The Prix Fix menu is an incredible value and they are very flexible with the choices...try the wine pairing with the prix fix menu, you won't be dissappointed. Flawless french cuisine without the attitude and worth every penny!! John and David thank you so... More

My fiancé and I went to Matisse for a romantic dinner and we were not disappointed. From the moment we stepped in the door it was like a dream come true. The people working there were delightful, helpful and charming. We decided on the prix menu after each course was explained with such detail and expertise and the sommelier paired... More

We found this little gem through an employee at the hotel we were staying in, she said it was her favorite restaurant. It is now one of our favorites in Victoria. The food was wonderful, the atmosphere cozy.

While the aprmosphere and service was excellent, the food was not very hot, under flavored and the chicken tasted like fish. We actually sent it... More

If you are looking to impress your significant other - TAKE THEM TO MATISSE!! The owner is also always there and so attentive... More

No kidding guys, this is a fantastic place if you like fine french cuisine. We went here for our anniversary and were pleasantly surprised by the exquisite menu and the great wine list. The atmosphere is intimate and sweet, service is impeccable and the food was...well, just amazing! I have dined in several Michelin star restaurants and this cooking is... More

Excellent French cuisine!! The teaser was the Amuse Bouche of marinated cherry tomatoes with avocado oil and balsamic pearls. The roasted celeriac & caraway bisque was delectable followed by a crisp baby romaine caesar salad with a creamy parmesan dressing. Freshened with a palate cleanser of pear & black pepper sorbet. The seafood crepe with lobster saffron broth, fennel and... More
