Victoria offers the rich, culinary experiences you’d expect from major city centres like New York or Vancouver, but with the signature warmth and inviting feel of the island.
Condo owners who often find themselves ‘on the go’ with no time to eat in, can enjoy a tempting selection of diverse cuisine close to home without ever compromising on quality.
Savour the fruits of South island wineries and micro-breweries; the fresh, organic produce we grow on premium local farmland; and the grade A seafood that tastes like it swam straight out of a Tofino wave and onto your plate- because it did. Take advantage of world-class chefs, sommeliers, and business owners who travel the globe to bring you today’s top trends in food and beverage, and who provide it all within walking distance from the creature comforts of your own living room.
We just think that the downtown core has so many fantastic spots that make it that much easier for condo owners to skip out on cooking at home.
Here is CondosVictoriaBC.com's 2011 Top 10 Spots to Eat:

A real gem in Victoria with a focus on seasonal French Cuisine. Amazing steak et frites and the mussels are fantastic. A great wine list with a focus on Belgian beers. The menu has lots of rotating, seasonal items that make you want to go back often. Reserve or show up early!
