About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Charming
Good for special occasions

Translated from Italian, FARO means “beacon” or “lighthouse”, a well-suited name for a location that has been a beacon for Oak Bay locals and visitors alike, where guests have gathered to enjoy Victoria’s most luxurious oceanfront accommodation, dining experiences and award-winning spa setting for over 90 years.

FARO is anchored by its Wood Stone pizza oven and a seasonally changing menu that includes handcrafted pizzas, a variety of fresh salads and small bites, cocktails and local wines, all to be enjoyed in a stunning modern room, at the tasting bar or on the outdoor patio with fire features.

Be aware that reserved seating is for inside only. Our patio is first come, first serve.

Ambriosa was our server, she was lovely. The two hostesses that checked us in were very receptive to our feedback to move tables for comfort. The food was delicious, the substitutions we requested were honored. This is our 3rd time at this restaurant, we come back yearly for our anniversary and we love the food and the service. The best item that we order every year is the beef carpaccio; highly recommended.

Worst expensive pizza we all of us ever had. Way to much tomato sauce, hardly any cheese, prosciutto had lots of fat. More fat than meat. Had to ask waiter where the extra cheese was I had paid extra for, and overall way too salty. The pizzas used to be good here. What happened. We definitely won't be coming back!

Pizza at the Faro was very tasty and the other sides were had were equally delicious. We also had breakfast at the pub patio in the sun and it was very well prepared and presented. The service was excellent at both places. The room was very nice and the pool and hot tub was another level. Thanks.
