Farm-to-table restaurants are everywhere these days, offering professional-quality meals at peak freshness by purchasing their ingredients directly from local farms. Victoria is no different, and our real estate agents love tasting all the farm-fresh meals our local chefs cook up. Here are some of the places around town they think are doing farm-to-table best.

• Farmhouse Victoria - 10 Bastion Square, Victoria, British Columbia V8W 1J1
  Farmhouse Victoria is a popular breakfast and lunch spot near our Victoria homes for sale. They serve breakfast goodies like egg sandwiches and pastries right up until closing time, but they also have a handful of lunchtime sandwich options for those who want something a little heartier. We're particularly fond of the BBQ Korean, a creation piled high with roast beef, vegetables, kimchi, barbecue sauce, and spicy Korean mayo. Try it with a cup of tea for a satisfying meal that will keep you going all afternoon long.
  
  
• 10 Acres Bistro – 611 Courtney Street, Victoria, BC V8W 1W8
  10 Acres Bistro believes using high-quality ingredients is the most important part of making a great dish. That's why they serve everything from simple comfort foods like burgers and grilled cheese sandwiches to fancier creations like mussels and crab cake salad—all made from locally sourced meats, produce, and dairy products. Book your table online in advance to make sure you get a seat when you arrive.
  
  
• The Courtney Room – 623 Courtney Street, Victoria, BC V8W 1B8
  The Courtney Room's classically trained chefs aim to showcase all of the delicious, wholesome foods produced right here on the West Coast. Their menu features a wide variety of premium entrees, including grass-fed beef tenderloin, Fraser Valley duck breast cassoulet, and wild mushroom risotto. There are gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options available for those following special diets, too. For a truly special experience, try their seven-course seasonal tasting menu accompanied by a flight of paired wines.
  
  
• Nourish Kitchen and Café - 225 Quebec Street, Victoria, BC V8V 1W2
  Start your day right with a big plate of brunch food served in Nourish Kitchen and Café. Nestled in a beautiful old Victorian residence, this small restaurant is all about making their customers feel at home. All their dishes are made from farm-fresh eggs, meat, and produce, giving them incredibly bright, sunny flavors that are sure to wake up your palate. Most of their dishes can be ordered as vegan versions by swapping the eggs for tempeh, and their pancakes, bread, and croutons are all gluten-free and made fresh in-house. 
  
  
• Ugly Duckling Dining & Provisions - 543 Fisgard Street, Victoria, BC V8W 1R3
  Ugly Duckling Dining & Provisions is so committed to their farm-to-table philosophy that they don't even offer a fixed menu. Instead, they change which dishes are available depending on what kind of premium locally sourced food they can acquire at that time. This means that what they have available to order is always of the highest quality. No wonder OpenTable named them one of the Top 100 Restaurants of 2024!
