Restaurants & Cafes

Food? Drinks?

Victoria is famous for its cafes, restaurants, lounges etc, so this is a pretty ambitious list. Apparently we have a magnificent concentration of cafes, particularly in the downtown core—pretty intense for a city this size.

Coffeehouses, Swanky Lounges, Local Favorites, Asian Cuisine, Quick & Cheap, we have so much to choose from.

Ocean Island Café & Lounge

Come cruise the world from our psychadelic living room of love! We are fully licensed, serve fair trade organic coffee and have some of the best prices anywhere in town ($2.75 for a small dish, $5.50 for a large plate).

791 Pandora Avenue (corner of Blanshard & Pandora). (map) 250-385-1788

But really, there's so many great restaurants here, the best way to find the kinda restaurant you're looking for is: walk around and find somebody you find really cute, say hi, and ask them where you should eat. Victorians usually have good taste in Victoria restaurants :D
