Start your day off right with a next-level brunch. While there are a few mouthwatering breakfast places in town, Fathom takes the cake for the tastiest brunch spot around. Located in the Hotel Grand Pacific in the Inner Harbour, Fathom serves up delicious brunch dishes, like sweet brioche French toast with banana brûlée, spicy chicken karaage benedicts with yuzu hollandaise, and hearty breakfast sandwiches with a side of well-seasoned potato wedges. Pair those plates with a piping hot cappuccino or a fruity mimosa, and you’ve got yourself the perfect start to your day!

Since Victoria is located right on the Pacific, this Canadian city has access to some of the best seafood around. If you’re on the hunt for a relaxed seafood joint, look no further than Blue Crab Seafood House, where you can get flavorful crab cakes, creamy seafood chowder, locally caught halibut, and more. That said, if you’re looking for a restaurant that’s a touch fancier, pop by Marilena Café and Raw Bar. With its leather seats and pressed white tablecloths, this Victoria seafood restaurant is fantastic for a romantic night out.

It should come as no surprise that French culture has had quite an impact on all of Canada, even as far as Victoria. This oceanfront town is filled to the brim with charming French bistros and restaurants. For a one-of-a-kind dining experience, head to Le Petit Chef-Victoria at Fire + Water Grill. With the help of a projector pointed toward your table, you’ll get to watch a tiny French cartoon chef put your meal together right on your plate! And once the show is over, you’ll have a tasty plate of food, like bouillabaisse or crème brûlée, waiting for you.

If you’d prefer to take a culinary trip to French Wine Country, make your way to Stage. This trendy wine bar serves up some of the best whites and reds in town, including sauvignon from Touraine and Chardonnay from Chablis. And let’s not forget to mention the ever-changing menu, which features the best ingredients from local farmers and purveyors.
