We tried the Scrumpy and apple juice, both excellent. The food was delicious, and home made. The pizza was excellent. Our waitress Melissa was very helpful. Our food was brought to our table in a timely manner. We enjoyed our meal so much, we made another reservation in just 2 days. Thank you .

Really enjoy coming to this place for lunch. Wood burner pizza is delicious as is the dessert (especially apple pie). I like the selection of cider and brandy, particularly the traditional and cyser.

We often go here for lunch especially if we have guests as it is a unique place to visit. If you like cider it is heaven. Also you can then wander around the extensive orchards and they now have yurts that you can stay in. If you visit in Spring it is stunning when the blossoms are out. The lunch... More

Blossom time at Merridale is my favorite time to visit the Bistro! The peaceful, sunny dining room overlooks the orchard which is a lovely picture this time of the year. On a sunny day the bees work the bloosoms and evoke childhood memories of my father's fruit orchard. The food is always spectacular, my favorite is the lamb burger, what... More

Best Cider I have ever had!!! I still have family bring it over when they visit and would purchase a case of Merri Berri at the drop of a hat. Plus it is a beuatiful place to walk around and see the cidery with their self guided tour.

This restaurant is small but very pleasant. Great food well served. They have a range of ciders, I chose a pleasant scrumpy. They also sell bottled produce. We loved the onion marmalade

Went to the brunch on St Patrick's day. Service was very good but we were there a little before it got busy so cant speak for busy times. Two of us had the special lamb and feta benny which was excellent. I expected a couple of thin slices of lamb but got two nicely cooked lamb cutlets with perfect poached... More

Some of the nicest, traditional cider you will ever taste! Cooler summers and mild winters great for growing the fruit. Generous tasting room with variety of other things to purchase. Just a nice afternoon drive from Victoria on your way to Shawnigan Lake.
