A Taste of Victoria Food Tour

Food tours are always a favorite of mine whenever we are traveling! Not to mention the fact that I am a huge foodie. We booked the Taste of Victoria Food Tour when we traveled to Victoria for the weekend. This is a two hour walking food tour in downtown Victoria. It was about $50 CAN per adult and we really enjoyed it!

We met inside Victoria’s Public Market at The Hudson. Our first stop was Roast for the beef and pork meatball with salsa Verde pesto. Wow. It was very different, but dang it was good! Not like any meatball I’ve ever had in the states. It came with a side of baked pork skin (aka pork rinds).

We sampled some beautiful skin tea at Silk Road Tea before leaving the market. Supposedly, it’s got great skin benefits.

Next we we headed into China Town. One thing I love about food Tours (besides the food) is that they give you a bit of history about the city.

Interestingly enough we went to a French bakery inside Chinatown to grab macaroons. The bakery is called La Roux Patisserie. Now I’ve been to Paris and I will say that these macaroons are pretty dang good. You’ll get two each. I picked the vanilla and the passion fruit. Macaroons are my favorite and the inside of this Patisserie is so cute, very Instagram worthy.

Just Matcha had some caramel matcha lattes for us. I was pleasantly surprised at these. I have never been one to enjoy matcha but this was delicious! It was made of Matcha tea mixed with frothed milk and caramel. 

Next we headed to Shanzee’s Biscuit and sampled the Southern Comfort biscuit and the sweet biscuit. I’m from the south where biscuits are big and I will say these were pretty great. The Southern Comfort was topped with sausage gravy, bacon bits, cheese, and chives. The sweet biscuit had Nutella, a grilled banana, and whip cream. 

 Something I’d never heard of, we went to a Pierogi Bar called Sult. Peirogis are a European dumpling and we sampled the three cheese roasted garlic potato. It was good but I was so overstuffed at this point I could barely eat it. 

Our last stop on the tour was Rogers Chocolates. We were given a Vanilla Cream Chocolate which is the Queen’s favorite. 

The tour will end at the Visitor’s Center so it was a nice little circle through downtown. For more things to do in Victoria, BC check out my other blog posts:
