Victoria restaurants named among Canada’s top outdoor dining spots

From being nicknamed the “Garden City” to being surrounded by endless coastline, it is no secret that Greater Victoria is home to many beautiful views ideal for enjoying over dinner, with a glass of something cold in hand. 

While there are many locations across the city to take in the vistas, six Greater Victoria restaurants were recently recognized amongst eateries from across the country for their outdoor experience by OpenTable's Top 100 Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Canada.     

Restaurants were chosen based on over a million customer reviews made on the online restaurant reservation platform. These are the local restaurants that made the list.

Situated on the Songhees Walkway in Vic West, Boom + Batten has amazing waterfront views from its patio. The restaurant looks out onto the Victoria International Marina—located next door—as well as having incredible views of the Inner Harbour. Boom + Batten specializes in Pacific Northwest cuisine, serving up seafood, pastas, pizzas, and steaks. It also serves brunch and is home to a cafe as well.
