L' Apéro Wine and Cheese Bistro

What a great experience!

I love the food, drinks and atmosphere here. This place deserves more people!

L'Apero is one of the small gems of the Victoria food scene. Their unique menu offering Raclette and Fondue is not to be missed. I have been here both for Raclette and Fondue and have never been disappointed. The food was flavourful and delicious with interesting combinations. They have a great selection of good wines. Great spot for a date night or a small intimate dinner with friends. The restaurant is quite small, so lends itself to small groups of 2-4 people. The also have a great selection of items to take out: charcuteries boards, cheese boards, and picnic boxes.

We had our valentines dinner here and it was a delightful experience. Best charcuterie board I’ve ever had, paired with some interesting white wines.

Really great food, enjoyed the raclette and other cheeses, but not worth the 158$ I spent for a 3 course meal that I SHARED with someone

A great dinner with friends (group if 6). Excellent food, especially if you like cheese-inspired dishes. Solid wine list. Very warm, attentive, and personal service. Staff is willing to take the time to discuss menu and wine options so that you get the right combination for you. Minimalist atmosphere is a little stark for my taste, but this is a minor issue to the overall experience. Wonderful evening!

The culinary experience is outstanding! The service I received was kind, friendly, knowledgeable about their products, and attentive. The space is open, welcoming, and elegant without lacking warmth. I cannot wait to return to Victoria to revisit for a meal or two, but definitely a wine/cheese pairing!

I ordered Take out after proprietor offered us an unused plate at the Opera. Very very good. Will use L'Apero in the future for appetizer plates in the future.
