This is a small, understated restaurant with an equally small menu. The dishes are eclectic and artistic, and also tasty, although my husband (a fish snob) was not overly impressed with his halibut dish). My lamb meal was very good, with some unique accompaniments like "lamb bacon". The scallop appetizer was artfully prepared and delicious, as was the garbanzo panisse.... More

The food is fresh and simple, but the flavour combinations are extraordinary. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone!

The chef is an artist who has a clear vision in his mind of the combinations of flavors, textures and colors he wants and then creates this vision on the plate. The result is just wonderful dish after wonderful dish and for awesome prices with great service in pretty and reasonably quiet environment. Ulla is one of the best attractions... More

I get to Victoria precisely once a year, and Ulla now has to be on the required activity list. Locally sourced ingredients, interesting recipes, and lovely presentation & service: what's not to like? It was halibut season and the piece I had was perfectly done, sitting on a variety of delicious things from cauliflower puree to yummy, tiny veggie pakoras... More

Just enjoyed a special dinner at Ulla. Service was bang on, prices fair and food excellent. A great spot for foodies, portions are satisfying as opposed to filling. We will go back.

Ulla's food is full of flavor and it is inventively prepared and pleasingly presented. Our family has travelled quite a bit and good food is always one of the things we make a point of finding whether we are in an off-the-beaten-path town in the US or in Paris. Ulla is up there with the best we have ever had.... More

We were celebrating my son's 27th Birthday. Everything we ordered was beautifully presented and equally delicious. My oldest son who is a chef in Vancouver said it was the best meal he has ever had at a restaurant in Victoria....high praises!! I loved the tuna tataki and my short rib steak was to die for!!

Ulla is not for everyone. If you want more volume than quality, eat somewhere else. If however, you wish to dine and can appreciate the care and attention given to each detail, from the food and cocktail preparations, to the unassuming but progressional service, you will be delighted. How I envy Victoria for having such a wonderful gem in her... More
