The Mint

We came just for the food, however the ambiance did seem right for a few drinks if your looking for it. We tried the curries and cilantro sticky rice. The curries was more of and Indian style, and the sticky rice was not a traditional sticky rice, but more like a sushi sticky one. Overall taste was fairly good on both our orders.. food was fresh. Staff was friendly.

Really nice ambience and lovely vibe. Especially love the convenience of the location and characterful entrance! Nonetheless, nothing stood out to me when it came to food or drinks. Quite overpriced for what it turned out to be, in my opinion. But kuddos to the lovely staff who work here who were nothing but kind to us!

I recently dined at The Mint in downtown Victoria and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed! The guest skills of the staff were exceptional and made me feel welcome and appreciated from the moment I walked in. As for the food, I highly recommend the tofu dish - it was simply delicious! The dish was perfectly cooked and had a nice blend of flavors that left me wanting more. The chef truly knows how to work their magic in the kitchen. The ambiance of the restaurant is also worth mentioning - it was cozy, warm, and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a night out with friends or a romantic dinner. Overall, I highly recommend The Mint to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience in downtown Victoria. With friendly and attentive guest skills and mouth-watering dishes like the tofu, it's a must-visit destination for foodies and those seeking a memorable night out.

Getting a fantastic gluten-free meal at midnight - yes please! Ginger rice with tofu was so good, and heard great things about the salad with goat cheese too. Service was excellent: quick, friendly, and vibe was great. We shall be back!

Knew this place since its opening way back when as it took over the spot of one of my former favorite teenage stomping grounds Victoria Underground Onramp Cybercafé but never really had the chance to go in. I made an exception since I saw the sign for their appy hour which is 17:00-19:00 which is refreshingly late considering how I rush out after work to downtown and usually miss it with the bus commute. The double mojito & the chicken poutine are okay, but the momos are amazing. I was recommended chicken which I had but the pork ones taste the best. I like the ambiance and I do see some areas where I do remembered the old days. Perhaps someone should start up old meets from decades past in here. I wouldn't mind having some nostalgia resurfacing in this joint. The bartender's real sweet so don't be shy and go for the bar seating. Parking: Street parking is free after 6pm. My best suggestion is to use either Centennial Square or View St parkades and park in their designated 1 hr free spots if you're able to secure a spot. Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible unless they have an elevator hidden somewhere or an alternative entrance which I doubt they have?

Imagine this: it's a Friday night at 11pm - and as much as Victoria is a cute town, there really isn't that many places to get any food late night that isn't fast food or pizza. Enter The Mint. A full curry menu through late night!! Incredible. Ordered the lamb curry plate and it was delicious.

This place has such a vibe. Great staff and mouth watering Indian food. Good thing is they open everyday till 2am for drinks and food right in downtown.

I've visited The Mint 7 or 8 times now.. 3 times for the comedy night and 4-5 in the late evening. I like that the kitchen is open late... one of the latest in the city so if its midnight and you're hungry... you can count on it being open. The venue has a good vibe and it's very popular with the local crowd. It's got a good ambience and the staff are consistently friendly and attentive; as such, there can be a wait for a seat. I'll echo a previous reviewer - the food and drinks do the trick but at the price... more is desired. The male bathroom there's a urinal in it stall needs a hole in the wall patched up and some general attention, I'm not sure about any other bathrooms. Overall the place is clean and I'd recommend it.

An excellent subterranean late-night stop for drinks and food! Cool vibe and an interesting menu featuring Tibetan food, as well as cheese and charcuterie plates etc. Food is good, but really you're there for the atmosphere and drinks menu, and to catch comedy night or the in-house DJ. Be sure to check out the slightly risqué art, too. Definitely not accessible as you have to descend a long flight of stairs to get there and can be ear-splittingly loud as the night progresses, but still a go-to for many Victorians.

Atmosphere is amazing but service and food was aweful. I asked the waitress for a 2 seated table with my girlfriend and she said it was for big parties and seated us at 4 seat table instead. Messed up the order twice and hostled my girlfriend. Aweful place.Food: 1/5
