An independent local food guide for Victoria, BC and southern Vancouver Island.
Est. 2019 / Vancouver Island
Tasting Victoria is an independent local food guide for Victoria, BC and southern Vancouver Island. It helps readers decide where to eat through editor-picked restaurant maps, neighbourhood guides, food news, archive stories, and a newsletter read by 30,000+ Victorians.
Tasting Victoria covers restaurants, cafes, bakeries, bars, markets, chef stories, food events, and restaurant openings across Victoria, Greater Victoria, and southern Vancouver Island.
The site is organized around useful local decisions: where to eat tonight, which neighbourhood to explore, what opened recently, and which archive stories still answer a current search. New evergreen guides are only added when the site has enough editorial support to avoid thin pages.
