Get ready to embark on a mouthwatering journey through Victoria’s most vibrant neighborhoods, discovering hidden foodie gems along the way!
We kick things off with a bang at Maiiz Nixtamal, an award-winning Mexican hotspot where Michelin-starred Chef Israel Molina crafts next-level tacos with his signature house-made tortillas. This isn’t just a taco—it’s a revelation.
From there, we dive into the heart of Chinatown, weaving through tucked-away culinary treasures like Pinhalla, Cafe Malabar, and the cozy, can’t-miss Friends & Family Bakery. As we wander through the legendary Fan Tan Alley—Canada’s narrowest street—you’ll feel the energy of history and culture all around you.
Next, it’s time to crunch into perfectly crispy, Thai-style dumplings from the beloved Dumpling Drop before we venture into Old Town, where cobblestone streets and stunning brick buildings whisper tales of the past. Here, we stop at the legendary Green Cuisine, where their homemade tempeh has been a Victoria favorite since the ‘90s!
Finally, we wrap up our adventure with a well-earned drink at Whistle Buoy Brewing, one of the city’s best craft breweries. Sip on a locally brewed beer or enjoy a refreshing artisanal soda as we toast to an unforgettable day of hidden gems, bold flavors, and foodie fun!
