Highlights
This small-group culinary experience explores Canada’s oldest Chinatown and the atmospheric streets of Old Town through the lens of Victoria’s most exciting restaurants. Designed and curated by award-winning food writer and restaurant judge Bonnie Todd, this tour blends refined tastings with expert storytelling and insider access built over 14 years in the industry.
Enjoy generous, chef-driven tastings from carefully selected culinary partners — including elevated South Indian cuisine, refined farm-to-table plates, handcrafted dumplings, standout tacos, artisan pastries, craft beer, and more.
Between tastings, your professionally trained guide brings the neighbourhoods to life with immersive storytelling — from the legacy of Canada’s oldest Chinatown to hidden architectural details and layered cultural history in Old Town. Yes, you’ll wander down Fan Tan Alley — but you’ll understand why it matters.
