WHAT'S HAPPENING ON CITIFIED VICTORIA
So many cities have their food street, or many food streets. Just wanted to see if anyone thought Victoria had one and if so which is the best one?
My vote is going to Blanshard Street. Specifically between Broughton and Pandora.
Food Street, Victoria

Interesting idea, G. Since you made me think about it I realize I often eat at restaurants along Yates (east and lower Yates).
It's definitely got a great assortment of restaurants and eateries:
- Bin 4
- Foo
- Zambri's
- Reef
- Ferris'
- Matisse
- Podium
- Azuma
- Sauce

Definitely Yates and Blanchard... I'd second G-Man that its more along Blanshard, but its pretty close:
- Macchiato; Shine; Pig; Zambris; Foo; Baan Thai; Shiki Sushi; Italian Deli; Philipino place; Vietnamese place; Pink Bicycle; Clay Pigeon; Cafe Theatro;
If you count the places that are w/in a block of Blanshard, you can add Vietnamese House, the many restaurants on Fort between Blanshard and Douglas, and Devour.

For me, it's Douglas from Yates to Herald.
Mac's, Second Slice South, 7/11, Dollar Giant, Second Slice North, Best Buy Convenience.

Fort St in Noodle Soup row.
Predictive text and a tiny keyboard are not my friends!

I wouldn't think that is the gourmands choice.

Wouldn't having a single street for food be more of a small community thing? This big/small stuff never seems to make any sense to me.

I wasn't suggesting a single street just sometimes in cities a certain area gets known for the abundance of good restaurants Like 9th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen.

Fort St in Noodle Soup row.
I might move that east a little bit forming a T with Cook Street. That would incorporate Pluto's, Tooks on Cook, Cafe Ceylon, Bubby's and the new Subway even. On Fort there's Avalon and Sally Bun. All the above are within a hundred metres of each other.
"Beaver, ahoy!""The bridge is like a magnet, attracting both pedestrians and over 30,000 vehicles daily who enjoy the views of Victoria's harbour. The skyline may change, but "Big Blue" as some call it, will always be there."

For get a street, how about just a street corner? My (albeit bias) money's on Fernwood Square:
The Fernwood Inn
Stage
Kulu
Stir It Up
Aubergine
Cornerstone Cafe
Darband Teahouse
They're all within 50-100 steps of each other. /win

See this is what I'm saying. V is too small and our restaurant culture too big for their to be A food street.

“If I was going to say which one of our businesses has the highest risk of not surviving it is Zambri’s. It’s a full-service restaurant. We have 120 seats. We’ve adapted and we’ve grown but I don’t think we could add [more seats]. It’s not a capacity issue for us. I think as many customers who want to dine there right now are coming.”
