Guidebook for Victoria
Food Scene
Patisserie Daniel
1729 Cook StOur favourite bakery in town.
It's an amazing roastery and cafe. Sometimes you can see people with suitcases there, as it’s the first place that they go to when they arrive in Victoria. This explains how good their coffee is, I really like it too. As a result, it might get very busy on weekend mornings but afternoons and weekdays are usually fine. The new address is 1301 Gladstone Ave (Fernwood square)

It's a popular dockside seafood restaurant known for its creative, hand-roll-style tacos. Their seafood is very tasty but it gets very busy in summer. If you don’t want to risk waiting in line for a long time Fishhook is a great alternative.
