Guidebook for Victoria
Food Scene
One of the best burger spots in Victoria! It's hard to miss with their menu, everything I have tried has been great. Their tap list is small and simple but well put together. Their burgers are half price after 9:00 pm if you buy a drink with it.

One of Victoria's rare hidden gems for breakfast. You won't need to line up for an hour to get in here like many places, but their food is gerat. If you are hungry and adventurous try the duck confit on waffles.

Part and Parcel is known for their sandwiches, which are unique, elaborate, and delicious. This is no $4 ham and cheese, it's a culinary wonder served on bread.

5th Street is our local pub. They have a pretty good beer selection and decent drink specials. The menu is tasty and is great bang for your buck. Be warned, the service can be slow. It's a great place to watch a hockey game if you happen to be here during the season.

Parks & Nature
Topaz park is basically across the street. It has soccer fields and baseball diamonds and occasionally hosts large events, like the Highland Games. It has an outdoor workout area which is free to the public, and a playground for kids.

Summit Park is a quick walk away, maybe 10-15 minutes to the top. As the name describes, it is at the highest point of a large hill. Itis a small park but has good views of the city and is a quiet little spot only us locals really know about.

Mt. Doug is a great spot to walk or run in the old growth rainforest. If you are a runner, this is the closest place to go for a trail run (ask us for some other options that are less busy). It's easy to get to, and pretty popular for tourists. Drive or hike to the top for outstanding views of the city and surrounding area, the gulf islands, and the ocean.

Tolmie is great if you are wanting an amazing view of the city, gulf islands, Olympic mountains, and ocean. It's not as busy as Mt. Doug, and lesser known to tourists, but also doesn't come with a walk through old growth forest.
