Victoria Food & Wine

Afternoon Tea, The Fairmont Empress Hotel
Afternoon Tea, The Fairmont Empress Hotel photo
Sandwiched between the Pacific Ocean and Saanich Peninsula farmland, Victoria enjoys the fruits of the sea and the fruits of the field in equal measure. The city’s restaurants excel at creating daring and delicious dishes from local ingredients, such as wild salmon, organic produce, artisan cheeses and native mushrooms and berries. Highlights of the dining scene include Sooke Harbour House ( Westcoast cuisine ), the Fairmont Empress Hotel ( afternoon tea ), Spinnakers (micro-brew pub) and Barb’s Place ( fish & chips ). If you’re in the mood for a bit of wine touring or fresh-from-the-farm produce, head just north of the city, to the Saanich Peninsula.

Did you know?
Spinnakers, located in Victoria, is Canada’s oldest microbrew pub, respected as a pioneer in the industry. (In addition to their pints, be sure to try the homemade pie.) Also in Victoria, Ottavio, a third-generation Italian family bakery, boasts more than 240 artisan cheeses.
