Food scene
This is my favourite bakery in Victoria. Everything they make is sourdough and they have the best Chocolate Croissants in the city. Go on Sunday afternoons to have incredible farm-to-table pizzas, but be ready to wait a little while as they're a hot commodity.

Excellent but somewhat expensive cocktails and small plates. Little Jumbo reminds me of a 20's speakeasy, and when you're inside it feels like you could be in any historic city in the world.

Love this spot for coffee or snacks. The location is great with a big patio right off of the walking path that leads to Bamfield park along the Gorge. Great to get to by bicycle, or on foot if you're in the area.

Sightseeing
Excellent place to go and walk for all activity levels. I love to walk the beaches and climb the rocks but there are also paved walking paths to go for a short or long walk. Tons of dogs to visit here as it's a local favourite for doggos. Beautiful views of the olympic mountains, and adjacent to Beacon Hill Park.

Many walking trails, and swim spots at this exquisite lake. I got often to do a walking loop and enjoy the tranquility and views.
