About the restaurant

Cafe Malabar brings the vibrant flavours of Kerala’s Malabar Coast to the heart of Victoria. Led by Chef Kiran Kolathodan and Chef Karma Tenpa, our award-winning restaurant was named #5 Best New Restaurant in Canada by Air Canada enRoute.

Signature dishes include our Kizhi Parotta, a layered Malabar flatbread wrapped in banana leaves and steamed with fragrant curry, as well as our rich, slow-cooked Chicken Malabar Dum Biriyani. The atmosphere blends modern elegance with warm hospitality, inspired by Kerala’s spice-laden traditions.

Guests can enjoy a full meal at the bar with a partial view into the kitchen, scenic high-top seating near the windows, and an elevated back corner with a booth and glass table overlooking the entire restaurant. Whether for a casual evening or a special celebration, Cafe Malabar offers an unforgettable taste of Kerala with a West Coast sensibility.

About the restaurant

Inspired West Coast Food & Legendary Location

Our menu creations reflect the ever increasing abundance of freshness that British Columbia’s West Coast has to offer. The freshest local ingredients, paired with craft beer from some of Victoria’s finest micro-breweries, and a wine list featuring BC and globally inspired wines. Steamship Grill & Bar aims to satisfy every palate.

We were inspired by the historical significance of our surroundings. Built in 1924, the Heritage Steamship Terminal building is an important landmark in the history of Victoria, BC. Designed by Francis Rattenbury in the Beaux-Arts style, it was the building that welcomed steamship passengers from all over the world. Now open to the public with a gift shop commemorating the history, the Heritage Steamship Terminal is a great place to enjoy a delicious seafood meal.

The patio was great and warm too with a fabulous view of the Salish sea and Mount Baker. Our server was excellent and because we were celebrating a birthday a lovely complimentary Happy Birthday chocolate and 2 macrons were given to us.
