Looking for affordable dining options in Victoria? You’re in luck!

A recent thread on the r/VictoriaBC subreddit revealed locals’ top picks for wallet-friendly dining.

From bustling cafés to hidden gems, these budget-friendly eateries offer a taste of Victoria’s diverse culinary scene.

Here are some of our favourite responses.

“[The] Ultimate Meatball from Italian Food Imports [is] $11.42,” said r/.

Another commenter added that this sandwich is the best of their life. Italian Food Imports is downtown on Blanshard Street, a block away from the Bay Centre.

If you’re looking for great sandwiches under $15, locals suggest the banh mi subs from Pho Tru and Banh Mi Ba Le. Craving a fantastic Cubano? Check out Fresko on Yates Street.

Another commenter gave a shoutout to Ono Poke at Hillside, Uptown, and Mayfair malls, noting that it costs “about $15” and “leaves you full.”

If you’re a vegetarian, you’re in luck, as the OP says the vegetarian wrap from Naami’s Mediterranean in the Victoria Public Market is $12 and is their “number one.”
