PLATEAUX - BOUCHÉES- TABLÉES

Professional Service made with love

Having experienced the best of cheeses when in France we were intrigued to find this gem of a bistro. It was well worth the trip from our home to the location. Proprietor is friendly, knowledgeable and the service was excellent. The raclette plate lived up to expectations and the wine we chose to have with it was also a good choice. Can highly recommend this Bistro and we shall certainly return for another occasion



Small gem

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.

Professional Service

My Wife and I dropped in for brunch and were met by our Server/the Owner who was the most welcoming and pleasant person we’ve experienced in a very long time. Not knowing anything to try we were presented with amazing options that were super tasty along with a great wine pairing from an obviously very knowledgeable person in the wine business. Service was top notch, conversation was so enjoyable and the food/drink was exceptional. Such a quaint restaurant and can’t wait to go back!

Raclette cheese it’s the best

We discovered this restaurant while walking around Victoria. We saw they have a couple dishes with Raclette cheese on their menu and knew we wanted to return. If you like cheese and haven’t experienced raclette, you must! It is delicious.

Little gem of a Bistro

Cheese paring board with other treasures. I was simply amazed at the quality of cheeses and the expertise in the pairing! I didn’t know this little gem of a Bistro existed here until today. I look forward to ordering a cheese board selection for Boxing Day as well as a taking family here to enjoy their wines and cheeses.

Amazing cheese board and wine

Amazing dinner at this lovely wine and cheese bistro to celebrate my birthday with my spouse. We had dinner the very same day following a food tour with Off the Eaten Track. Thank you to Off the Eaten Track bringing us to L’apéro and especially to L’apéro for the amazing cheese board and wine. Next time we’re in Victoria we will definitely visit you again!

I will be back

Fantastic atmosphere, knowledgeable staff and a great selection of wine and cheese. If I am back sometime, then I will be back 👍

Welcoming and warm environment

Great experience. Welcoming and warm environment. Delicious wine and cheese pairings. Perfect mother and daughter fun. Definitely recommend.

Absolutely lovely

Absolutely lovely - if they had the Racalette served on hot potato’s and warm plates it would be perfection ( how it’s served in Switzerland.).The hot cheese hitting cold things cooled it off almost instantly and made it a lump of cool cheese, instead of a gooey delight. Staff were attentive, great atmosphere and the food was all delicious. We will go back for fondu.

Absolutely delicious!

Visited, for the first time, during Victoria's annual Dine Around event. The food was absolutely delicious! Service just the right attention, without hovering or interference. Wait person consulted with the kitchen and was able to adjust the menu for one guest in our party (me)... Everything was so, so good
