Wheelies Motorcycle Cafe
Wheelies is one of a kind – a custom motorcycle shop with an in house café serving surprisingly good food and drink at reasonable prices. The café menu is small & meticulously crafted: five sandwiches, three sides, and one dessert, and the drink menu similarly small but sophisticated. Wheelies also features live local punk, and rock’n’roll shows on weekends plus brunch to cure your hangover on Sunday mornings. Located in an industrial part of town Wheelies proves that sometimes, in order to find the good stuff, you need to venture off the beaten path.
La Taquisa
High quality authentic Mexican food available from two “cafeteria-style” service locations. Fast, fresh, delicious and very cheap considering the quality of food. A “Pete’s Pick” for pleasing our palates and our pocketbooks.
Duffin’s Donuts
Some of the most eclectic 24-hour menu selections in Vancouver. Mexican torta sandwiches, Fritou fried chicken, hamburgers, all-day breakfast, Chinese food, and Vietnamese noodle soup just to name a few (with a clientele as varied as the menu offerings). “Duck and cover” cold war décor with pre-fabricated furniture indestructible enough to survive nuclear Armageddon add to the charm. What more can we say except you might need some Rolaids after a visit to Duffin’s, but who cares when the food is as good and invigorating as these fine offerings.
Green Leaf Vietnamese Bistro
A cheerful Vietnamese eatery serving generous portions at low prices. A large selection of noodles, soups and rolls with many vegetarian options. Some of Victoria’s best Southeast Asian cuisine.
Italian Food Imports
A favourite quick lunch spot with wonderful sandwiches, paninis, and pasta. The best Italian specialty food shop with delicious cheeses, cured meats, artichokes, olive oil, pasta and much more.
Relish Food & Coffee
This little lunch spot has cultivated a fervent following of foodies. From baked goods to bacon, nearly every morsel of food is made in house. Asian influences & fish dishes are prominent. Fresh, creative, delicious.
The Dutch Bakery and Coffee Shop
Wonderful European style bakery serving cakes and pastries made with love & pride, PLUS a cool old school coffee shop with inexpensive lunch and breakfast specials. A Victoria classic, family owned since 1956.
Roast Sandwich Shop
Lemon rosemary chicken, house spiced rib of beef, and their piece de resistance, herb roast porchetta will make you salivate like a rabid dog. Some of Victoria’s best sandwiches. They also sell fine pantry items.
Baan Thai
A terrific, inexpensive Thai restaurant for lunch or dinner. Probably Victoria’s best Thai food and easy to access with 3 locations spread around the City. A “Pete’s Pick” for value and amazing flavour.
Ayo Eat in Market Square
Lovingly prepared Indonesian takeout food from a kiosk hidden in Market Square. Chef Bana focuses on a handful of authentic spicy dishes. Why hit the gym when you can work up a curry sweat here?
