Jam Cafe

“Best Americano if you like a rich and robust coffee. Located on Fisgard St. in the heart of Chinatown, this place is a local fav that buzzes all morning long. It's a long, narrow venue so be prepared to kindly dodge a few hot beverages on your way to the line up. They roast beans onsite; offer delicious locally baked goodies and savory lunch options. My fav is a triple shot Americano, black. Fav treat is the quinoa chocolate muffin. Grab your coffee and wander the block to enter Fan Tan Alley. This tiny alley is a landmark must see. Filled with an assortment of quirky & cool shops, including a Dr. Marten shoe; Ice Cream & more.”

“This remains our favourite special restaurant! Amazing Italian food, warm ambience, first-class service, great wine list. If you feel like a downtown experience, this will never disappoint! It’s about a 25-min drive. Expect to pay for street parking.”

“Fun, good food and drinks. In good weather it's a great place to go for a drink on the outdoor patio!”

“Sophisticated Pacific Northwest dishes based around sustainable farming practices, seasonality, and knowing the stories of the growers. They serve global wines in their small yet stylish restaurant.”

“A Victoria staple for years- excellent French food. Small and they don't take reservations so you usually have to get there at opening or be prepared to wait.”
