"There's certainly some great pizza places in Victoria, but we love Famoso for their kids' special for children 12 and under. Meals are between $8-$10 for a variety of pizzas or pastas, which comes with a kids beverage plus a scoop of gelato or sorbetto for dessert (which by the way, is amazing). They can even make these gluten free for a small additional cost."

10 Best Asian Restaurants In Victoria, Canada - Updated 2021
"A post shared by Mr.F (@oscar_foca) on Nov 6, 2018 at 6:09pm PST. After encountering the Royal BC Museum’s majestic woolly mammoths, saunter over to Noodlebox to fill up on Southeast Asian street food. Noodlebox is able to accommodate those with dietary restrictions by substituting ingredients in their delicious dishes for their customers."

Asian
"Quick and funky, the Noodle Box is a great place to get filled up without emptying your wallet. The pan-Asian menu starts out with comforting favorites like spring rolls and fried dumplings. Soups, curries and stir-fries make up the remainder of the menu."

Since this is Victoria, it probably comes as no shock that another brunch place is on the list. In full disclosure, these restaurants can be a little tight which might not always constitute the most kid-friendly places for some."

Finding the Best Cafe in Victoria
"This coffee shop is way less in your face than either Habit or Discovery coffee and it has a little bit of old world class to it that those other two places don’t have. Like Habit, Macchiato has another older location, this one is in Old Town and is also very nice, though quite small. What I love about Macchiato is the high ceilings and despite being in a relatively new space, the cafe feels timeless."
