Breakfasts
Breakfast is taken seriously at our Victoria BC bed and breakfast to 'set you up' for your day - you may not need to buy any lunch!
You have a choice of three formats: a) a full breakfast served in the morning room at 8.30 or 9.00am, b) a continental breakfast on a tray which you can enjoy in your room, on the terrace or in thegardens between 8.00 and 10.00am, c) a packed breakfast if you need to leave early. Details of each are below.
A) A full breakfast.
These memorable B&B breakfasts are candlelit multi-course meals served in the lovely surroundings of the morning room, served elegantly on fine china with linen napkins and silver service. Breakfast is served at 8.30 or 9.00am.
The meal varies each day; scrumptiously tasty, nutritious and attractively presented. For example, on the morning this was written, our four guests from Hawaii enjoyed:
- orange juice
- freshly ground coffee, espresso or cappuccino, or a selection of fine black, green and herbal teas
- a fruit plate with seasonal soft fruits and berries; today including local raspberries, melons, kiwi and also bananas
- strawberry fool (a tangy yet smooth English treat)
- baked eggs, one of Linda's specialities: freshly laid eggs baked with a blend of Swiss cheeses, succulent Black Forest ham, fresh Roma tomatoes and locally grown asparagus (or other seasonal vegetables)
- muffins straight from the oven, with home-made preserves
- one of these guests had a special diet to which we catered accordingly (though we can not provide for vegan diets)
B) A continental breakfast.
Ideal if you want an earlier start or extra time in bed. It is served between 8.00 and 10.00am - just pre-arrange the time or call us from your room telephone to request its delivery. The meal includes:
- orange juice
- freshly ground coffee or cappuccino or a selection of fine black, green and herbal teas
- fruit salad
- fruit yogurt
- artisan breads, croissants with home-made preserves
C) A packed breakfast.
If you need an early departure we can provide a packed breakfast if informed by noon the previous day. The meal typically includes:
- orange juice
- coffee and a selection of teas are provided in your room
- fresh fruit
- yogurt
- bagels with cream cheese
- apple fritters or pastries
Linda and Martin both have many years experience in hospitality. Linda's catering background results in memorable breakfasts which have caused more than one set of guests to change plans and stay a further night.

One couple wrote afterwards 'You are charming hosts and your breakfasts are to die for. We will recommend the Gazebo B & B to anyone we know who is coming to Victoria.'
"This is the most elegant breakfast I've ever had." (Travis (& Dixie), Victoria, BC, July 2006)

We gain much satisfaction from helping to make your visit memorable. Breakfast is a good time to discuss itinerary suggestions, pass on local knowledge, make reservations for whale watching or dining, and to recommend B&Bs for ongoing travel in BC and elsewhere.
