This Is TASTE 564: TASTE Travels: Eating Really Well in Victoria, British Columbia

We of late headed out of the studio to visit Victoria, British Columbia , to check out the food and drink scene and report back on my conclusions.

Listeners, this is a really exciting place, and we’re excited to speak with Andrea Alridge , the chef at a terrific new restaurant, Janevca , and Lori Joyce , owner of truly unique ice cream shop, Better Acres Ice Cream . Victoria rests on the naturally stunning Vancouver Island and is located a short ferry ride from Vancouver and Seattle. We found amazing coffee, fine dining, a historic botanical garden, and fresh seafood around every corner.

Throughout the episode, Aliza and Matt in addition catch up to talk about some of the highlights of the visit. Save our Google Map of all the places mentioned in the episode.

Visit Tourism Victoria for more information on places to eat and drink. Drop us a review on Apple , or star us on Spotify .
