Where and What to Eat in Victoria, British Columbia, Victoria, British Columbia

Giant waffles, served with bacon, berries and lashings of maple syrup. Just the thought of it now has me nearly dribbling over my laptop (sorry). Sadly I had food envy as my eggs faded in comparison to the delight on a plate that my fellow blogger was devouring. A week of eating like this though would really flummox my fight against the pounds. The food in Canada, however, was so very good throughout that the battle was lost before it had begun. And I indulged… a lot.

Everywhere we ate throughout the trip was excellent. I had no idea that Canada was such a fabulous place to visit for food lovers. I’m sure there are plenty more excellent restaurants so please do leave a comment at the end of the post if you’d like to add any recommendations.

The oldest bakery in British Columbia, Willies opened on the very same spot it occupies today back in 1887 in Old Town Victoria. They only use local and organic ingredients, portions are plentiful and I saw more than a few dishes I yearned to know more intimately than a passing glance. All day breakfasts, succulent salads, gourmet burgers and so much more is on the menu it’s hard to know what to pick but it was the waffle with strawberries and blackberries, bacon and maple syrup (pictured above) that stole the show and cost $10.50.
