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.

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.

The pizza was excellent. The restaurant space was smaller than I expected and without the views we had hoped to enjoy. Next time we are in Victoria we will try the Snug Bar instead, with the gorgeous views of the ocean.

They continue to provide excellent food with great service. They always find a way to impress with the little things that make the experience memorable. Until the next time, keep up the good work at Faro and the Snug.
