VICTORIA, BC

48 hours in Victoria, BC. When you don't have much time, you better make the most of it.

To Eat

The Very Good Butchers: A completely vegan deli serving up sandwiches, salads, burgers, and more! I ordered the V.G.B.L.T with avocado, the combination of their house made 'very good flax mayo' and seitan bacon tasted delicious, mmmmm.

Big Wheel Burger: Has a classic burger joint feel, and bonus, operates a carbon neutral shop and offers compostable packaging. I grabbed the Vegan burger with Cajun fries, so filling and well made, a choice spot for comfort food.

Jusu Bar: If you have the hangover blues or feel like filling your body with something nourishing, this is the place for you. I got the Chaga Charger hot drink, it was the perfect blend of nutty and sweet.

To Do

Dallas Road: The perfect place to watch the waves, kite surfers, and pups playing fetch. We headed down to the shoreline, lunch in tow, and soaked in the postcard view.

Mount Tolmie: Walk up if you're feeling like a workout, or drive straight to the viewpoint, either way you end up with panoramic views of the city and coastline.

Mount Douglas: Came here as the sun was setting, giving the clouds a pink hue. Walk or drive your way to the top but don't forget to bundle up, bring a blanket to cozy up to if you plan on staying awhile.
