Victoria Restaurant Hit List (Momo's Edition)
Just got back from a short trip to Victoria—here’s my totally subjective but brutally honest restaurant ranking! ❤️ HITS (Must-Try!) 1️⃣ Beijing Bistro "Must-eat Chinese food" on Google? 100% accurate! Must-order: Sweet & sour pork (crispy perfection!), lamb skewers (charcoal-fired goodness). Price: $25-35 CAD | Vibe: Cozy hole-in-the-wall. 2️⃣ Toro Japanese Sushi Bizarre KTV decor (neon lights + leather couches), but the food slaps! Order this: Wagyu sushi (melts in your mouth), foie gras nigiri (rich and decadent). Skip: Sashimi platter (mediocre freshness). Price: $50+ CAD | Tip: Book a window seat for harbor views. 3️⃣ Sea Glass Waterfront Grill Perfect pre-ferry meal (10 mins from the terminal!). Standouts: Seared scallops (caramelized crust + tender AF), tomahawk steak (feeds 3!). Dessert alert: Their crème brûlée is huge—share it! Price: $60 CAD | Perk: Floor-to-ceiling ocean views at sunset. ⚫️ MISSES (My Regrets) 🚫 The Ruby on Douglas Overhyped brunch spot: Rubbery eggs, watery coffee. Only plus: Instagrammable decor (but taste > aesthetics). 🚫 Nautical Nellies "Iconic" seafood joint? Lobster roll = soggy bread, fries tasted stale. Service fail: Asked for recommendations, got a shrug and "whatever." 💡 Pro Tips 1️⃣ Beijing Bistro gets packed—arrive by 11:30 AM. 2️⃣ At Sea Glass, request a "window table" and mention "ferry views." 3️⃣ Sushi is pricey in Victoria—Toro offers solid value. #VictoriaEats #FoodieFinds #CanadaTravel #RestaurantRants
