Smuggler's Cove Pub

We stopped by for lunch today and it was disappointing. I ordered the most expensive item on their menu list steak and fries for 30$ and got plate full of brown fries, looked like overdone but tasted moreless fine, with a little piece of tasteless beef that wasn't seasoned just had more fried things on top and plastic sauce from bottle. Other than that other meals where fine and ambience in the pub was nice too. We were served by attentive waitress.

A nice varied menu, something for all of us. We recommend a reservation. Service and atmosphere are typical neighbourhood pub, cozy and quaint. There are even a few covered and heated outdoor spaces.

Just happened to be in the neighbourhood today because I’ve moved close to the neighborhood.
Saw the Smugglers Cove pub sign and decided to stop for lunch.
I ordered the smugglers burger with cheddar and mushrooms,fries and gravy.
The fries just so happened to be hand cut.
OMG it was delicious. A hand made patty with lettuce, red onion, pickle and tomato.
Cheddar and mushrooms were an addition.
If you’re looking for a great meal come and see them here in Cadboro Bay Victoria.

Cheers 🍻

I loved the pet-friendly seating outside. Staff was nice and quick to get our drinks and food. I don't eat out much, but I'm willing to pay good money for good food. I was not happy to pay $20 for a bacon cheeseburger that had a frozen, unseasoned patty. The Cove Beef Burger should be a signature dish at the pub, not a frozen mess with fishy, raw onion rings. The server was more interested in telling me how it's not her fault than in listening to the feedback. Otherwise, the location and atmosphere are beautiful. Would go again and get the Reuben my friend really enjoyed.
