This year, Victoria’s food scene has gone through some big changes. While we said bittersweet goodbyes to beloved spots like Bear and Joey, Little Jumbo, and Chorizo and Co., the city has also welcomed a wave of exciting new openings. From innovative restaurants and cozy coffee shops to creative pop-ups and second locations of local favourites, there’s plenty to look forward to. Here’s a roundup of some of the must-visit new spots that are making waves in Victoria’s ever-evolving food landscape.
