Top Restaurants in Victoria
"Classic UK-style tempura-battered fish and chips is the star at this seasonal spot, but the entire menu is brimming with stellar seafood choices. Come for the fresh catch du jour, house-made soups and inventively repurposed cargo-container environment, and stay for the picturesque views of the sunset over Inner Harbour. 1006 Wharf St. Victoria, BC"
"In an up-cycled cargo container you’ll find Victoria’s top spot for fish and chips and then some: Red Fish Blue Fish. This outdoor eatery in the inner harbour is open daily offering up special and a classic menu, too. Fish and chips are of course a must but they also have amazing tacos, oysters, and deep-fried pickles!"
"10 Acres Kitchen in Victoria is one of three restaurants that are run by the 10 Acres Farm and Restaurant Group that provide ethically raised animals from their farms to these restaurants. It’s steps from the Inner Harbour of Victoria and is housed inside a meticulously restored heritage building. The historic restaurant has a custom-built wood bar, large windows, plush booth seating, and black and white photo art that add to its elegant ambience."
"This fully enclosed terrace is the perfect place to grab a bite or sip an after dinner drink. "We pledge to serve the best of the Island. What we don’t grow and ethically raise on our own 10 acre farm, we proudly source from other like minded farmers + food purveyors. We compost everything we can from the restaurant to enrich our farm’s soil. Last year we created 60 tonnes of compost!" 10 Acres Bistro"
"What is it: A major complex that includes The Kitchen, a fine dining restaurant, The Commons, for awesome cocktails and oysters, and The Bistro, for some morning-after brunch. If the ingredients aren’t grown on their own nearby organic farm, they’re caught by local fishers or raised by local farmers. Why go: To have well-prepared, fresh food."
"An excellent, small restaurant at the head of the Van Isle Marina. Many options for both dinner and brunch. We stayed with the seafood offerings."
"Enter the world of Chiba Sushi and find friendly staff and the best place in Victoria to get reasonably priced quality sashimi, sushi and cooked dishes.

"Emily Carr, the only female artist of the famed Canadian Group of Seven, was born here in Victoria BC in 1871 – the same year BC joined the confederation.

The house is an interpretive centre that is open to the public and comprises a selection of her paintings and literature."

"The birthplace and home of renowned Victoria artist, Emily Carr. Still decorated as it would have been at Emily’s birth in 1871. Come and enjoy a tour of the house and a stroll through the impressive gardens."

The mandate of the gallery is to create a following for the work of individual aboriginal artists in the fine art market in Canada and abroad."
