Food Scene

Hands down best restraurant in town. Same block as the condo. Local tip - they don't take reservations so put your name on the list around 5:30/6pm, then go for a walk or a drink and come back when your table is ready.

A Victoria classic. A cozy but lively Italian restaurant. Arguably the best bread in town. The "Hemingway Short Story" is a local favorite. During lunch it less busy and they offer delicious bottomless soup and focaccia bread.
