From the team behind Vancouver’s award-winning restaurants Blue Water Cafe, Elisa, CinCin, Whistler’s Araxi, Il Caminetto and Bar Oso, as well as New York City’s Oceans and Carlotto, Toptable Group welcomes you to its first restaurant in the heart of BC’s beautiful capital city, Victoria – Marilena.
An avid free diver and fisherman, Executive Chef Kristian Eligh returns to his hometown with a menu that draws inspiration from memorable West Coast cuisine with an emphasis on local and globally sourced seafood.
Marilena features local and global seafood paired with high-quality sustainable ingredients that adhere to the highest standards. Guests can choose from a selection of nigiri, sashimi and sushi rolls at our stunning Japanese raw bar.
Our front-of-house team, led by Restaurant Director Jeff Pauls, is passionate about delivering an unparalleled level of hospitality set within Marilena’s warm, contemporary dining room anchored by an open concept kitchen.
Marilena’s expansive wine list celebrates far-reaching varietals from notable regions while also honouring the Island’s premier wineries.
