π¨π¦ Bard & Banker | A Hidden Gem in Victoria π½οΈ
π Weekend getaway with friends in Victoria β randomly chose an Irish Pub near our hotel for lunch (who says you canβt have a proper meal at a pub at noon? π). Went in with low expectations but was blown away! π The vibe is classic Scottish tavern β cozy and festive during Christmas season π. Loved the atmosphere! π Now for the food β we ordered three dishes + one cocktail πΉ. Zero disappointments! π Main Dishes: π΄ Pan-Seared Scallops & Pork Belly - $34 βββββ A bit pricey but SO worth it! Sweet and savory flavor with juicy, large scallops. Absolutely divine β the star of the meal! Sadly, only 5-6 piecesβ¦ couldβve eaten twice as many! π The Bard Burger - $19.55 βββ Double patty with pickles and fries. Solid burger β not mind-blowing but tasty and satisfying. π² Mussels - $29.95 βββββ Creamy broth with fresh mussels + buttery bread for dipping. The sauce was incredible β so flavorful! Highly recommend. πΉ Seasonal Cocktail - $4 A citrusy orange-lemon alcoholic drink β refreshing and super affordable! #Vibes #HiddenGem #VictoriaEats #BrunchGoals #VictoriaBC #VancouverFoodie π₯π΄π¨π¦
