Victoria British Columbia restaurants have undergone a culinary renaissance over the past decade. International influences have resulted in a marvellous array of dining choices from all over the world. Whether you fancy Chinese, French, Italian, South American, Mexican, Greek, Vietnamese, Japanese, East Indian, West Coast, or Vegetarian food, you'll find plenty of excellent choices to suit both your palate and your pocketbook! Naturally, because of Victoria BC's proximity to the ocean, seafood is a speciality in many of the city's restaurants, particularly fresh salmon, halibut, and shellfish.
Victoria BC has always been famous for its neighbourhood pubs and traditional British pub-style fare, such as fresh and crispy fish and chips, steak and kidney pie and, of course, a great selection of ales. Some of Victoria's most popular pubs are also microbreweries, where house brews are made right on the premises.
And then of course, there is tea. It may be an English custom, but Victoria has perfected the time-honoured tradition of afternoon tea. For the uninitiated, afternoon tea typically includes finger sandwiches, cakes, crumpets or scones, fresh berries, and Devon cream. Victoria British Columbia's tearooms range from grand and very formal to charming and casual.
