Must-Try Restaurant in Victoria: the Superflux {Cabana}

If you’re looking for a really good restaurant in Victoria, the Superflux {Cabana} is a MUST. It checks off every box and I recommend it to all my clients, friends, and family! Let me tell you why.

THEY MEAN IT WHEN THEY SAY
'DO COOL SHIT AND BRING HAPPYNESS'

I particularly love the atmosphere here! It pays homage to 70s decor and mixes it with cabana boho beach vibes, making it the perfect place if you’re looking for a laid-back, chill atmosphere! The restaurant comfortably seats 110 visitors and the rooftop patio is absolutely incredible. If you love art, you’ll appreciate their own take on da Vinci’s Mona Lisa and Botticelli’s Birth of Venus.

When it came time for bevvys, I had their signature beer—a Superflux Lager that was delivered in a gorgeous glass and went down very smoothly. We decided on the salmon dip as our appy and then we were taunted by every other dish that went by! The food was phenomenal, the drinks were incredible, and the atmosphere was unparalleled.  A must-try!
