Victoria does brunch right!
If you are looking for a slow morning filled with yummy foods, Victoria is the place to do it. In our area, there are a few great places to grab brunch like The Roost or Tonelli’s Deli or Fireside grill. If you want to head downtown and beat the line ups I would suggest Avalon (their oaten bread is delicious) or The Courtney Room or Spinnakers (the view alone is worth it). If you don’t mind lining up the Blue Fox, Jam or Nourish is worth it!
