Victoria Restaurants

  1. Blue Carrot Café

    An ideal hang-out in the shadows of Bastion Sq, this wood-floored family-run nook serves local favorite Salt Spring Island coffee along with a host of chunky, mostly organic cakes and muffins. It's also a good lunch spot - regulars enjoy the ever-changing roster of made-from-scratch soups (carrot and ginger is frequently requested), and the hearty burgers are as far from fast food as it gets.

  2. Pagliacci's

    A popular local hang-out for decades, 'Pag's' is a small restaurant with a big heart. You're almost guaranteed to make a couple of new friends here since you'll be sitting elbow-to-elbow with the diners at the next table, but it's worth it for a menu of dishes such as Mae West Veal Medallions and Hot Transvestite Sautéed Chicken, each served with salad, vegetables and perfect pasta. Save room for dessert: a frightening array of delectable cheesecakes.
