Being hungry late at night in Victoria is not a pleasant thing. Most late-night places say they're open 'til a certain time, but then you go and they're closed. So it's always best to call these places if you want to avoid walking around and getting frustrated.
The only places you're really gonna be able to find food for sure downtown is the Mint, which is open 'til 2am, and check out the convenience stores page for places that are guaranteed open 24/7.
Ghetto Slice $1/slice pizza
These tiny pizza parlors have sprung up all around Victoria to respond to your late-night hunger. Read about them on our Quick and Cheap food page.
Cheap food late
QV's Cafe & Bakery (closed between 4am and 6am)
The only thing here worth eating is their sandwiches, which are actually quite good, and made right in front of you. One of the more comfortable places to eat late at night.
