Take Out
"Vegetarian and vegan food was once hard to find but now everyone wants to eat more vegetables and cut back on meat. Owners James Davison and Tania Friesen opened this shop in February 2017 and it’s so that good meat eaters are flocking here to try plant-based dishes like vegan poutine, burgers with flax mayo and house made “cheez.”. I loved the jackfruit “ribs” and even the rice paper bacon but the tempeh bacon was a tough sell."
"When The Very Good Butchers set up shop in the Victoria Public Market a few years ago, they had to close early on their first day as they promptly sold out of everything. Safe to say, the demand for a vegan butcher in this city is high. From “sausages,” to “pepperoni,” to “ribs,” The Very Good Butchers sell everything that a typical butcher might—the only difference is all of their products are 100% plant-based."
"With so many reasons to go vegan — from environmental to ending cruelty to animals – many people are choosing a plant-based diet. Vegan butcher shops are like rare gems waiting to be found in select urban centres around the world. Lucky for me, we have the Very Good Butchers take-out counter right downtown, located in the Victoria Public Market."
"Fern is the spot to indulge in fabulous vegan cinnamon buns and doughnuts. Aside from baked goods and Discovery coffee, they also offer a full food menu with fantastic options such as the Buttermilk Pancakes or the Buffalo Chickun Burger (best accompanied with a side poutine). Having only recently celebrated their second anniversary last fall, Fern’s menu has continued to evolve with exciting dishes and features."
"If you’re feeling sporty, why not start your day off on a healthy, sustainable note?. Before checking out the Vancouver Canucks’ training camp at the nearby Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre recently, I ventured off the beaten path to Fern Cafe and Bakery. Located on the edge of artsy Fernwood, Victoria’s only 100% vegan cafe and bakery opened in 2018."
"It's not often you find a fully vegan bakery with gluten-free options, but Fern Cafe is just that. Offering such delights as this Black Forest cake and mint macaron, the surroundings are cool, casual and relaxed. You can either stop by for lunch (try the burgers and sandwiches) or grab a treat (or several) to go."
"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."
"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."
"A taste of East Africa located in Esquimalt; Blue Nile offers plenty of flavourful vegan dishes and meat dishes alike. One can choose from a selection of vegan dishes from the buffet ($14.95), or enjoy vegetarian menu items (all of which are vegan) including the Vegetarian Combo (a mix of lentils, cabbage, and vegetables $10.95), Bursen Tumtumo ($10.95), Ater Tumtumo ($10.95), and Hamli Zebhi ($10.95).

"Towards the back of the field along Montreal St is the Toddler Park (pictured above). This is completely gated in (have I mentioned that I love fenced in parks) and there is plenty of things to let the imagination run wild. I know lots of moms who consider this one of the best parks in Victoria."
"Along the long shoreline of Sidney, this 2.5 km (1.5 mi) ‘Heart Smart Walk’ offers both locals and tourists a chance to explore the piers, jetties, parks, playgrounds, cafes, bars, restaurants, and distilleries around which offers panoramic views of the Gulf Islands and Salish Sea. This park is solely dedicated to the walkers and is where they can either walk their bike or opt for a faster activity through skating or skateboarding. As you stroll around this beautiful park, learn a bit of history regarding US and Canada territorial conflicts and their peaceful resolutions."
"this location is only open for dinner, but their other locations are open all day...food is good, always prefer their pizzas over others...slightly higher in price than others, but you get a better mealRead more"
