Food scene
These are the places to go and eat!
Great ambiance; you'll find most locals here as they don't do much advertising. Excellent spot for a casual drink and a bite of food.

Little Jumbo Restaurant and Bar
506 Fort StThe food is good, but the cocktails are great.
As an avid bread enthusiast, this place is par none. Just the best bakery I've been too with tons of ready-to-eat snacks. Great views of the harbor, with good parking. Gets busy on the weekends!

Foodie's might turn their noses up, but the Keg is a dependable and consistent location for a good ribeye (and maybe a scotch or two). We like this location because it's a pleasant walk back and forth to our house.

EXCELLENT Vegan restaurant. As a non-vegan, I'm consistently surprised by how good the food is here. A great spot if you have someone in your group that wants Vegan food.

Get the tuna taco. It's made with Pacific albacore and is amazing. I usually order three. Everything else is good too.

Such a cool garden with an amazing story. Not as touristy as Butchart Gardens, and a great spot to have a tea.

Hipsterish neighbourhood that's walkable. Good restaurants!
Sidney is very walkable - I must be getting old because older people typically love and I do as well!

旅行者建议
出行
There is no ridesharing as of yet.
Current Taxi is a local taxi company that uses exclusively Tesla's. Not much more expensive than a regular taxi and the app works well!
不要错过
The Saturday Moss Street Farmer's Market is Great!
A great farmers market, does not run through the winter though.
携带物品
Victoria is sneaky cold sometimes
It feels colder than the temperature here because of the humidity. Bring some layers in the cooler months!
习俗和文化
Order a shaft!
It's a local alcoholic coffee cocktail. It's better than it sounds, but don't make plans around it. Just a fun thing to try!

The Flying Squirrel Gym
Honestly, awesome place to bring kids - even cynical teenagers seem to enjoy!
出行
Public Transit is Decent, but check routes first
Depending on where you need to be, public transit can be a good way to get around. There's only bus, no municipal rail or anything.
