Weekly Shout Out – Saint Franks, Andy Shauf, Turtle Express
Greetings pretty ponies! First of all, we apologize that our hiatus from web wrangling went on much longer than anticipated. We won’t bore you with the particulars, suffice to say, work/family obligations took precedent. Believe us when we say that if we had our druthers, we’d be out Horsing Around 24/7 but, sometimes, a man […]
Malahat Chalet/Moonwater Lounge
Good afternoon, pretty ponies! A couple of times a year, we like to go on a mini-getaway right here on Vancouver Island. Last week, with Valentine’s Day looming and canoodling on our minds, we decided to make the short trek down the Malahat to scenic Moon Water Lodge. Moon Water Lodge, a casual, chalet style […]
Spinnakers Pub
Good afternoon, pretty ponies! On a weekend afternoon, there is nothing we enjoy more than sauntering along the Songhees, the picturesque walkway which extends from the west end of the Johnson Street Bridge, all the way down through to the municipality of Esquimalt. Along the way, we ogle the harbour views. If we make it […]
Bubby Rose’s Bakery Cafe
Bubby Rose Bakery creates cinnamon roll nirvana along with specialty breads, croissants, pain au chocolate, and a tempting array of tarts and squares. They also have an Espresso Bar and lunch counter.
Fifth Street Bar & Grill
One of our favorite places for a quick, casual bite. Warm lively atmosphere and great prices. Highlights include rotisserie chicken and thin crust pizzas prepared in wood fired ovens. Kid’s menu too
Big Bad John’s
A combination of deep dive bar, carnival haunted house and an episode of Hee Haw. Take a seat at the burlap-covered stump, enjoy a cold draft and munch on free peanuts. Crazy, cheap, unforgetable. GO!
Canoe Brewpub
Canoe’s stunning patio is the ultimate spot to enjoy fine craft beer on a summer afternoon. On cooler days step inside and enjoy the stunning brick and timber architecture and live music on weekends.
The Bengal Lounge
Monty’s favourite lounge. Definitely a splurge, but worth it for the relaxed opulence of the British Raj theme and the popular curry buffet. Romantic and sophisticated, it’s an experience you won’t soon forget.
Habit Coffee
Habit Coffee may be the favourite destination for young urban nihilists in Victoria. Tattoo and piercing aficionados while away the hours quaffing delicious latte macchiatos – think deep rich espressos topped with a whiff of foam. The Pandora Street location is stocked with a superb selection of magazines: Saveur, Paris Review, Atomic Ranch, and Bomb […]
Union Pacific Coffee
A lovely rustic cafe on the edge of Chinatown with eclectic decor, excellent fair trade coffee and very reasonable prices on a selection of delicious light meals and sweet snacks
