An edible celebration of Vancouver Island.
A Love Letter to our Chinatown home.
Since opening in February of 2023, Ugly Duckling has made its mark as one of Vancouver Island’s best and most innovative dining experiences.
Recognized as Victoria, BC’s Best New Restaurant by YAM Magazine, and long-listed as one of Canada’s Best New Restaurants for 2023 by Air Canada’s En Route Magazine, we seek to create inventive and original dining experiences centered around the magical place we call home.
“At Ugly Duckling, Mathany focuses on nose-to-tail cooking with local ingredients and Asian inspiration. His tasting menus take diners on a seasonal journey that’s artfully curated and expertly executed”
At the heart of everything we do are two promises: to serve you only those things which we have made by hand; and to work really, really hard to make you smile. We can’t wait to welcome you.
Our menus change with the seasons, the farmers, and the whims of the culinary team. Accordingly, please treat the following as samples only. If you have any dietary requirements or food aversions, our team is happy to accommodate, but we kindly request 48-hours notice so that we can prepare to welcome you.
