We ducked into this place mostly to get out of the rain. What a find! Relaxed atmosphere and great food. This is like a Benny, but taken apart. Two dungeness crab cakes, topped with two poached eggs and hollandaise sauce, with the English muffins served on the side. Great combination of flavours.

John's Place is somewhat of an institution in Victoria. My wife and I went on our second date here. Honest, home-style cooking keeps hungry customers coming back. They were also one of the forerunners in the slow-food movement, a back-lash against the zillions of fast-food joints that dot the landscape. I kind of wish they had moved even slower on my breakfast today. All the right ingredients were there, but I just found it really bland.
