A beloved Victoria restaurant is opening a pop-up this summer

Starting this upcoming Monday, June 3, Victoria’s beloved Ugly Duckling Dining & Provisions is launching a brand new pop-up shop and pilot project: Cold Tea Social Club.

Hosted by one of the city’s most unique fine dining restaurants known for their emphasis on creative expression, Cold Tea Social Club will be a space for more street-food like, handheld versions of Ugly Duckling meals—picture bao buns stuffed with seared foie gras and Asian pear, Taiwanese popcorn chicken, cold-tea fried rice and wide noodles with black garlic and shiitake bolognese.
