Hey friends, Im going to Victoria next week for 2 nights. Im going just to get out of Vancouver for a couple days, any suggestions on places to go/eat/drink etc? Thanks!

Mo:le for brunch.

I second this! Enjoyed breakfast there on a recent trip.

Garrick's Head pub is pretty good.

Christie's Carriage House pub is more locals than tourists.

Im in Vic, What food, events are you into? are you coming weekday or weekend?

We have tourist in your hometown next week.

And dine around....

Cold Comfort for ice cream!
Cold Comfort

John's Place for food!

Yep, John's Place. Belgian waffle.

Order the marble cheesecake at John's Place.

Little jumbo for food and drinks

Veneto for cocktails, little jumbo for late night, Tapa bar for food, Fiamo after midnight (if you're up late). Part and parcel is amazing food as well but a bit outside downtown core. Agrius was featured as one of the best resto in Victoria.

Some of my favourite places are Blue Fox Cafe (breakfast/brunch), Parachute Ice Cream, Garrick's Head Pub, Floyd's Diner, John's Place, Big Bad John's (bar) can be fun. I live here, so feel free to ask about specific places/interests

Oh, and Red Fish Blue Fish (like a bunch of others have said) but I'm not sure if it's open yet or not.

Also, Be A Tourist in Your Own Hometown starts (late) next week, depending when you're coming: https://attractionsvictoria.com/be-a-tourist/

Blue Fox is my fav...but get there early!!

I second or third blue fox. They have the best hollandaise sauce, bubbles and squeak oh and their granola! I miss that place.
Sally bun is a must if you like cream cheese. It's a cafe thing on fort street and the buns are filled and I mean filled with flavoured cream cheese. My favourite is lox and cream cheese cheese. Yum!

Big Bad John's was great but I heard it closed?

I know the owner died a year or two ago but BBJ's was still open as of at least this past fall...

If it's a nice day/evening and you don't mind the long line: Red Fish Blue Fish on the warf. We also like Famoso Pizza. There are lots of pubs in the City, one of my favourites is Christie's Carriage House Pub.

We enjoyed dinner at The Guild.

Red Fish Blue Fish for lunch, and Agrius for dinner!

Definitely Red Fish Blue Fish if they are open (I think they are closed in the winter season...)... be prepared to wait, but it is worth it! I really like Olo for dinner.

I'm all about 5th St Bar and Grill. They have a wood fired rotisserie, and if you're in to that kind of thing, the 1/4 or 1/2 rotisserie chicken dinner is out of this world. All from happy, free range, organic chickens.
Spinnaker's is my other go-to, as Vancouver Island (and possibly Canada's) oldest brew pub it's worth checking out, plus all the food is as farm to table as possible, even the sea salt they have on the tables is refined on site. They bake their own bread, brew their own vinegar....
Both are outside of the downtown core, but still central, and as a result are a bit less pricey, WAY less crowded, and equally good or better food.

You can also take the harbour tug boats from the inner harbour over to spinnakers rather than a taxi..probably cheaper too!

Breakfast / brunch / lunch at Floyd's. Super cool retro/vintage hangout and some of the best bennies ever. Arrive hungry.

best place to stay-Parkside Victoria. the museum is always great

Olo Restaurant!

I love Olo !!

You've probably arranged your travel and accommodation but in case you haven't, we saved a lot by using BC Ferries vacations. For about the price of the hotel, you get the ferry trips in the package.

I second Olo Restaurant, it's amazing there and in a super cool neighbourhood. Make sure to make a reservation first... enjoy !

Il Terrazo if you like Italian food http://www.ilterrazzo.com/index.php

Pizzeria Primastrada is our go-to for the best pizza in Victoria.

How about the Blue Fox for breakfast. Always a wait but worth it.

Dine around is on so you shoukd check out the victoria tourism site

Definitely go to Bin 4 for their half priced special after 9. Best burger in Victoria

Sult (pronounced salt) is awesome!!!

Big Bad Johns

Obviously Jam Cafe has to be on the list... Discovery Coffee is a neat little hole in the wall. Blue Fox Cafe was awesome for breakfast, so is Mo:Le

Just finished an hour at Vic VR and it was a blast! 10/10 would go again!

Totally depends what you are after! My faves: http://molerestaurant.ca/ - breaky/brunch/lunch. http://beloverestaurant.ca/ - lunch/dinner. A walk around Thetis Lake. A drive out to East Sooke Park, hike up Mount Finlayson, hike up Mount Pkols (Doug).

John's Place and Ithaka Greek Restaurant http://ithakagreek.ca/

Went to Ithaka's tonight because of this post! It was amazing! I back up this recommendation! 10/10

Following

Blue Fox Cafe for the Moroccan Chicken Eggs Benny. Best

I've

Following.

.

BTW, BC Ferries vacations offers really good ferry/hotel deals for Victoria.

*

The rebar for vegetarian food can't be beat. Camille's for unbelievable French cuisine, Il terrazzo for incredible Italian, the pubs on government,

The English Inn is a super sweet castle like hotel I can highly recommend.

To visit: Beacon Hill park and fisherman's warf

Blue fox

Go to Habit on Pandora for a coffee and then go next door for breakfast at Mo:Lé ... after that you'll be right down in Chinatown so slip on through Fantan Alley and explore

Great tours that feature hidden gems.

Just wander, great city for walking & especially good food everywhere

Vienna Wong

Molë for brunch, Il Terrazzo for dinner. Take in an IMAX film. High tea at the Empress. Horse-drawn carriage rides downtown. Ogden Point seawall walk. Hop-on/hop-off bus.

Ghost tours, too!

Peglioccis! You can smell the breadsticks a mile away and they are to die for! Make a reservation if you can. Gets packed!

The fried rice at Relish is one of the best meals I've had. Zen Sushi is very fresh. Tacofino is apparently delicious.

Tapa bar!

Craigdarough castle

I love Canoe brewery! Good food, beer, music - and they sell half size Growlers - called Meowlers!

Outside of downtown is Cook Street Village, which has some nice little shops, bakery, coffee, etc. and if it's a nice day you can walk along the path next to Dallas Road which runs along the ocean.

If you like sushi Ebizo Restaurant is some of the best I've had anywhere... we go there every time we are in Victoria

Pizzeria prima strada! We go here everytime we're on the island!

I love the Tapas bar in trounce alley!
