Hi everyone!
Going to Victoria this upcoming weekend.
Any suggestions on activities and good spots to eat?
Thanks in advance:-)

What do you like? Blue Fox Cafe is probably my fave breakfast place in town.

Spoons! Outside looks iffy food is delicious. Pig also has best pulled pork. It is downtown. Think on Yates. Museum and IMAX always fun.

Spoons is good so is John's Place for Breakfast. The Tartin Touque for amazing burgers or wings. Lots to do in Victoria depends what you are looking for

Tartan toque! Pig! Fuego is really good for breakfast. La taquisa is great.

What area of Victoria are you staying in?

Staying at parkside hotel and spa

Sunday is the Good life marathon downtown so keep in mind lots of the city will be had to navigate around- give yourself extra time as all restaurants and bars will be busy afterwards.
Johns place has a great thanksgiving menu (great food overall). Il terrazzo is my favourite restaurant or pagliacci's (both Italian). Milestones in the inner harbour is the only touristy place I would suggest for the view more than the food. Stay away from eating on government street as it's targeting tourists but go and have a drink or 2 at any of the cool bars like Irish times or bard and banker. Museum is a favourite for a rainy day. Going for high tea somewhere is fun too on a rainy day - James bay tea house, Murchies or the white heather is a cheaper alternative to the empress. Butchart gardens will be fairly sparse at this time of year so maybe not worth your money. Whale watching if you are up for it or if you have a vehicle goldstream park is a very fall thing to do.

Thank you!

For breakfast jam cafe on Harold street is amazing. They don't take reservations though so go early. It's has the vibe that I would say defines Victoria, rather than some of the other breakfast diners in town that are good, but been around for a long time and are a little tired. For lunch or dinner there is fishhook by the corner of fort and pandora. It's casual dinning with a small menu but everything they do is amazing! For a really great place for drinks there is the drake eatery on pandora just below government. They have great local beers and ciders and a really unique but good food menu.

Awesome! Thank you

Jam café is a must!!

The village 4 locations awesome breakfast .. latki eggs benny. Amazing!!

Cook village

Pags, Fan Tan Alley-Chinese in Chinatown, Favoris ice cream on govt, Russell books upstairs, Dutch Bakery, grab a Moka house hot choc on Cook and walk Dallas Road, museum always worth it on a rainy day, Fort street for antiquing , Blue Fox breaky.

Love Russell books

Lady Marmalade for Breakfast. 608 Johnson St. They make a couple kinds of baked french toast that are to die for, but they only make a couple pans so you gotta be there early.

Oh wow! Thanks for all the suggestions everyone! I am staying at the Parkside Hotel and Spa. I am downtown . Jennifer I plan on walking everywhere lol but thanks for the great suggestions!

I did a massage there for my birthday - their spa facility and courtyard water garden is lovely!!! Take advantage of the spa if you get time

Ohhh! Definately thinking about it!

I live in Victoria so feel free to message me if you want more information.

Oh that's sweet! I will. Thank you so much

I would possibly like to do whale watching . Any companies u reccomend.

There's a Travelzoo deal on Springtide whale watching company i just got in an email: http://m.travelzoo.com/ca/local-deals/Vancouver/Other/201431/Spring-Tide-Whale-Watching/?utm_source=localdeal_ca&utm_medium=email&utm_content=2349417&utm_campaign=2349417_html_banff_deal%3a201431&scenario=checkoutrefresh
Or check with hotel concierge- sometimes they get insider deals not offered to the public. Most companies are reputable but I always check trip advisor anyway.
