Cenote Restaurant and Lounge

Casual and laidback place to grab a few drinks and bites with friends. The menu caters to different tastes, and their special drinks are a hit. We went when they had a vanilla grapefruit margarita that went down well with the whole table. Had this place recommended to me from a list of best nachos in Victoria. Cenote definitely ranks high on the nacho list. The chips stand up and are miles ahead of big name prepackaged stuff. We got a good covering of toppings and the salsa was a standout. Would highly recommend grabbing the nachos if you’re a fan!

The house salad was under-dressed/dry with little flavour. The baked brie, bread, jam, olives and roasted garlic was all delicious but wasn’t exactly made to be eaten together. Appreciated the gluten free bread option but likely wouldn’t go back.

Cozy little bar tucked away under the stairs in the heart of downtown. tasty cocktails and great atmosphere. Jess was our server and she went above and beyond to make sure we're having a great time. Great place for a date or to catch up with a friend.

Great food , great service and good prices!! Love the happy hour! Love the menu! Good job making good food, Something different and tasty, Is nice to see other than burgers and chicken wings etc!

My go to place for a night out! It’s a chill cozy vibe and they have great cocktails and food. I have been going there for years, and will continue! Highly recommend.

Really unfortunate the management now is behaving like such a rude individual. I loved all of my previous experiences, always good times. However seems something has changed??? Most unpleasant interaction with some form of management attempting to make his opinion known about his burned nachos being how we should enjoy them. Wow. I’ve always enjoyed their nachos- but burning the top and nothing even melted underneath seems to be the new norm?? Hope not Proceed with caution Server was nice and seemed as surprised as we were at the returned nachos coming back - cold and obviously just pawed through to remove all the burned chips Wowza

This is a fabulous hole in the wall for small plates to share and unique drink specials. My favorite lately is their double gin and tonic especially happy hour. Good non-alcoholic options available too!Food: 5/5

I went for drinks and the service was great. The food menu looks great and reasonably priced. I will definitely go back.

Pretty cool selection of crafted cocktails. Worth the $$$. Food is ok. The groove is very different. If you haven't been, you should definitely give it a go. It may become your new "Go TO" place in Victoria. I'll be back!

Friendly staff, delicious food, large portions, and reasonable prices. All the things you’ll find at Cenote. The interior is cozy and makes for a great place to get together with friends for an after work drink and dinner. Their hotdogs are a delicious option for lunch as well. Lots of tables, large space and well laid out. Food was served quickly. Drinks were topped up reasonably. Definitely recommend and will return.
