Saltchuck Pie Company

A sweet little shop for lunch with delicious pies. The pastry was flaky and delicious. Service was prompt and welcoming. An excellent place for a quick and well made lunch.

I'll have to join the choir of people apparently making "the crust" one of the most mentioned things in the reviews - I was craving a savoury meat pie and just got one. I was initially surprised by more of it being crust than I expected, but then thought, "wait a minute; this crust is amazing..." After eating more of the filling, I decided that the crust thickness was in fact just right - this was the best beef pie I have ever eaten, and if any more of it had been the incredibly flavour-rich filling, I'm not sure I could have finished it in one sitting. I'm torn between wishing they would do discounted prices just before closing time, and knowing that I might well eat myself out of my current wardrobe if they did.

The last time I ate at The Saltchuck Pie Company, was back in early 2018, when I lived in Sooke a worked around Southern Vancouver Island. I stopped in today, and I was so happy to see they were Open! I had my usual Peppered Steak Pie, served with Mash Potatoes and Gravy! The Missus' had the same with the Pear / Beet Salad! YUMmmmm!!! Absolutely Love It! The Atmosphere is Perfect and It's Clean and Cozy! The Staff are Friendly and the portion is Excellent! If you're looking to do Lunch, hit Bay Street and head towards VicWest. It's on the right, in front of Lafarge Concrete. The view is as Awesome as the Food!

Recently purchased a Beef and Truffle pie - oh my... Every bite was a delicacy. My strong recommendation 😊 Last time I had a Cornish Pastie this good, I was in Cornwall. Saltchuck pasties are baked on the premises, and it shows. The people who baked these, really know how to make an excellent Pastie - and their Beef with Truffle pies are now added to my list of excellent pies. The beef and truffle was rich in flavour with an excellent flaky pastry. I could not recommend it too highly. If you want a high quality pastie, I recommend driving past every pie shop in town, until you reach the Saltchuck Pie Company. Here, you can buy a pastie that is plump with high quality, tasty ingredients. The pastry was just perfect for taste, texture and thickness. The meat content was much higher than the veggie content, and all in all, it was an excellent small meal. These bakers have paid it forward, to earn a well deserved Five Stars. I'll be back. ... and now I am back, having just celebrated my birthday again. I purchased frozen pasties for my guests, and baked them at home (instructions were supplied) I provided nice ketchup and other condiments to enjoy with the pasties. It all went down a treat 😊. My continuing full endorsement.

Super cute cafe with friendly service. The savoury pies have the best crust EVER. So flakey! Love the pies with minced beef the best. Can also stop in for some Australian confectionary and vegemite, of course! I appreciated that they used paper bags and plates for takeout. My pies were still a little warm when I brought them home. MMM! (Didn't enjoy the raisin butter tart at all though).

We were checking out some furniture stores, and Saltchuck was nearby. We had a steak pie and a pepper steak pie. I also ordered a quinoa salad thinking that I would eat more healthily. The pie crust was soft and not crunchy, as though it had been microwaved and not fresh out of the oven. My pepper steak pie was very spicy, instead of just a hint of black pepper like a pepper steak, the pepper was heavy. The pies had more gravy than beef, very soupy, and not balanced with vegetables. The photo of the salad show lots of mustard seeds, a bit too vinegary and aggressive – I had to abort it. The home made apple lemonade was very pleasant. And the servers were friendly.

Bought the veggie pot pie as I have previously. If this was not the worst meal I have had the displeasure to eat, it was close to it. No pastry on the side, no pastry on the bottom. Just some vegetables floating around in some sort of liquid with a pastry top. Disgusting!!!

Brilliant! As a Brit, I love the pub-style pies (savoury and sweet!) you can get both heated to eat in-house or cold to take away. Would 110% recommend
