Food Street, Victoria

[G-Man]

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.

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.

How about Government Street from Humbolt to Fort?

Rodgers Chocolates
Victoria Ice Cream and Fudge Factory
Oh Gelato
Salad Loop Group Investments
Bird and Bunker
...to name a few

I wouldn't think that is the gourmands choice.

Gumgum you seem grumpy today.

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.

[G-Man]

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.

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.

Don't rule out CSV.

[Bob Fugger]

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.
