From flavours like Watermelon burst, cotton candy, cookies & cream and more, this shop can satisfy some serious sweet tooth cravings and make the perfect prop for your next photo op. Insider tip: for a dairy-free option, order a vegan raspberry sorbet cone, it’s dippable!"

"Soft serve dipped in gooey rich chocolate – what could be better than that?. This is the first chocolate shop, out west in British Columbia, for the Quebec-based chocolatier. “We wanted to find a spectacular site."

"Owner Brett Black’s travels through Mexico inspire the incredible array of paletas (or popsicles) that loyal fans flock to purchase every day. Now relocated in Fan Tan Alley from Fisgard Street, the store specializes in small batch, made from scratch, locally sourced paletas and ice creams. The milk used is organic from Avalon dairy and their delicious products are packed in wrappers made from natural plant-based sustainable resources that are 100% biodegradable & compostable."

"In the heart of Victoria’s Chinatown, tucked down Canada’s narrowest street, discover this small-batch ice cream shop. Packing big flavour, Kid Sister Ice Cream is a must-try, from-scratch, ice cream and popsicle joint. With flavours that alternate almost daily, you can try something new each visit!"

"While it's nothing fancy, their simple burgers and hotdogs are a huge hit with families. The seating inside is limited but they have a covered patio, and it's a fun experience to order from the window outside like it's a real drive in. One of the best parts is its location - I highly suggest taking a stroll through Beacon Hill Park during your outing, and even visiting the Petting Zoo (by donation) if you have time!"

"Beacon Drive-In Restaurant is on its 58th year of serving its classic treat – ice cream!. Using only local Island Farms Soft Serve ice cream all these years, it’s no wonder they’ve been around for so long!. Beacon’s warm atmosphere and friendly staff continue to serve up smiles and sweet treats year round, whether you prefer to order inside or out."

"Voted Victoria’s best ice cream 25 years in a row, the Beacon Drive-In knows how to swirl that perfect soft-serve cone. Ideally located by Dallas Road and Beacon Hill Park, you can eat in, or take your cone to wander."

"The workers are so friendly and the place is very clean so this is the DQ we go to now. Today my granddaughter left her purse there and when I called an..."

"Recently opened, Charlie’s Ice Cream Shop is already becoming known for their decadent soft serve ice cream. Located right on the inner harbour, Charlie’s serves tasty creations, delicious hot dogs, all with friendly service!. Their original creations is what distinguishes then from other ice cream shops; creamy soft serve, layered with unique toppings such as chocolate covered pretzels, fresh fruit, and popcorn, then topped with a mouthwatering array of syrups."

"If you’re as passionate about gelato as we are, you have to try Mosi Gelato on Johnson Street. Using locally grown and foraged ingredients to make from-scratch gelato, the quality is evident in each bite. Did you know gelato has less air, is denser and made with less sugar than ice cream?"

"All natural with absolutely nothing artificial and utilizing seasonal, organic and local ingredients – with something for every dietary restriction. There are dairy free (coconut milk) “ice creams”, (unofficially) “gluten-free” ice cream sandwich cookies (almond flour & meringue), vegan pints and a vegan ice cream sandwich, and diabetic friendly sugar-free ice cream (made with xylitol). The location has days where you can make a custom ice cream sandwich with our favorite Empire Donut, for an out-of-this-world treat."

"What is it: A slick hipster joint serving grilled asparagus and raw salmon as well as legendary charcuteries, The Livet is known for its atmosphere and rooftop patio as much as it is known for the incredible food presented. Enjoy small-plate dishes, ideal for pre-theatre snacking, and entrées that are basically creative takes on local favourites like octopus and lamb. Why go: Prove your meat-loving mettle with the 32-ounce Tomahawk steak, a dubiously named but massive cut of strip loin."

"Dublin may be more than 4500 miles away, but you can be there in a few minutes!. Irish Times is a carefully planned traditional Irish pub brimming with authenticity. The pub's two floors are a second home to many Victorians, who appreciate the craic – the overall positive vibe resulting from fine beer, traditional music, hearty food and lively companions."

"Located near Bastion Square, this faux-Irish pub has live music nights and is always jam-packed with folks having a good time. Pro-tip: they open at 7 am and do a great breakfast deal before 9 am. Website: www.irishtimespub.ca Address: 1200 Government St."

"Named one of the top Irish pubs outside of Ireland by the Irish Times newspaper, this is one of the best places in Victoria to tuck into for a Guinness and bratwurst, hands down."
