John's Place - Times Colonist
Wednesday June 1 2005

It felt like an election office after the polls
had closed when I tabulated the hundreds of reader submissions
to our latest Best of the Island poll. Several eateries strongly
encouraged their patrons to vote. After more than an hour
of counting I was able to declare, by a margin of a thin crepe,
that John's Place, a funky diner on Pandora Avenue in Victoria
was the readers' favourite breakfast joint.
"Definitely John's Place" Lindsey
Henderson wrote in bold letters on her submission form citing
three reasons: "Great waffles, fun atmosphere and friendly
staff - some having been serving there for years!"
Annie Oliver agreed. "Their food is fantastic,
the atmosphere is great and the service is very fast, even
the tons of people in the restaurant,"she says. Oliver's
favourite breakfast is the 222 Headache - a revitalizing meal
of pancakes of waffles, eggs and bacon, sausage or ham designed
to help cure the effects of a long night on the town.
