Best Dinner Places to Eat in Victoria

"Best For – The Quintessential Luxury Victoria hotel experience. The ‘Grande Dame’ of Victoria’s hotels and certainly her most iconic, if you’re looking for luxury hotels in Victoria you won’t want to miss the Fairmont Empress. Owned by Canadian chain Fairmont hotels (although recently acquired by the Accor group), the Empress hotel is a slice of Victoria’s history – in fact this is the famous hotel in Victoria, BC. This Edwardian era Chateau is set right on the edge of the inner harbour with views out across Victoria’s waterfront."

"When most people think afternoon-tea, they think fine china, scones, tiny-cucumber sandwiches, and decadent desserts. With butter-filled pastries, this age-old British-tradition might seem far from vegan-friendly, but surprisingly, the Fairmont Empress Hotel is able to accommodate 32 different dietary restrictions (sugar-free, gluten-free, vegan, whatever your heart desires). I highly recommend the Afternoon Tea at the Empress for a special occasion or a girls day out!"

"No need to conduct an opinion poll: the perennial lines in the street outside Jam suggest that this is the best breakfast spot in Victoria."

"If you are after your classic breakfast diner, look no further than John’s Place. This eclectic locale has floor-to-ceiling covered walls with old school posters and celebrity headshots. Its been operating for 34 years and if that doesn’t speak for itself, then its delicious breakfast dishes made from scratch will be sure to win you over."

"John's Place has been one of the best brunch spots in Victoria for over 35 years. It can definitely call itself a local favorite and has even been featured on The Food Network. This well-known restaurant makes a lot of their ingredients from scratch."

"After a morning walking around Victoria’s beautiful harbour front, venture over to Lum’s Chinese Restaurant to satiate your desire for Chinese cuisine. Enjoy an overflowing plate of flaming, crispy deep-fried ginger chicken over a bed of white rice. Depending on the size of your party, choose one of the enticing combos created for parties of one-six."
