Overview

Victoria has more restaurants per capita than anywhere else in Canada and was voted one of the best foodie cities in the world. And some of the city’s best restaurants can be found in its oldest neighborhood, James Bay. On this self-guided walking tour, you’ll get insider knowledge on where to eat, what to order and the history behind the establishments. You’ll trace part of the harbor before venturing into James Bay proper and ending outside For Good Measure, a grocery and coffee shop. Along the way, you’ll find hidden gardens and hear the stories behind this historical neighborhood. You’ll also see some of the city’s iconic landmarks, like the Royal BC Museum and Legislative Assembly of British Columbia building, as well as some lesser-known ones, including the Victoria Cenotaph and the Knowledge Totem. I’ll provide behind-the-scenes information on Pendray Inn and Tea House, the James Bay Inn Hotel, and local institution Barbs Fish & Chips.
