12 Brunch Spots to Visit in Victoria

February 13th, 2020

Our favourite part about weekends is brunch!

Brunch is part of Victoria’s culture, and we couldn’t be more proud to have several amazing, delicious, great quality and fun options for Brunch in the city.

Whether you live here or are visiting, you must enjoy at least one weekend brunch. We can’t name them all, but here are some of our favorite brunch spots in Victoria!

Jam Cafe

This is a fun, casual and hip spot to get breakfast or brunch. They have very creative breakfast plates and very big portions, plus craft beer and cocktails. I always recommend this place to friends and family visiting. I like their hip ambience and coziness. But, be ready to wait a while for a table! Jam cafe is very popular. Definitely worth the wait.
