A fresh restaurant in North Saanich is among the best new eateries in Canada by the magazine for a national air carrier.
On its way to whittling down a top 10 list, enRoute magazine named Fox and Monocle near Canoe Cove Marina and Jeju in Tofino to its long list of 30 of Canada’s best new eateries.
For two decades the Air Canada magazine has embarked on a mission to put newcomers on the map. This year, the organization flew one undercover writer all over the country in search of those “reshaping Canada’s diverse culinary landscape.”
Establishments opened between late spring 2021 and May 31 were up for consideration.
