This is Part 3 of our Victoria Food Adventures! Check out the rest here! I’ve never been inclined to wait in long lineups for brunch.

Update: Zin Restaurant has closed. Look familiar? We planned to have dinner in Downtown after our trip to the Aquarium since we were going to be in the neighbourhood anyways. We chose Zin Restaurant Lounge because I’ve heard of their $2 appys from 4-7pm. They’re also a participant of the letsgofordinner.com “promotion”. It’s located on […]
