Where are the best food deals downtown?

There isn’t a single street or block that owns the deal scene. You’ll find recurring specials around the Inner Harbour, Old Town, Government Street, Yates, Fort and the surrounding downtown blocks. Happy-hour food is especially common, but weekday specials and late-night menus add plenty of options.

Start with when you’re going

If your plans are fixed, the fastest way to narrow a long downtown list is usually by day and time. You can also browse the simpler Downtown Victoria food deals page or go straight to Victoria happy-hour food.
