The Blue Fox Cafe

101-919 Fort St, Victoria, BC V8V 3K3

The Blue Fox has been serving all-day breakfast to the faithful since 1991, and it's obviously doing it right because the place is always packed. Located on Antique Row in Harris Green, it's well worth seeking out. Rest assured the menu offers the classics, but you can also experiment with less usual fare like eggs el jimador and bubble & squeak. Many of the sauces are made in-house, and the attention to detail is evident in every dish.

Pluto's is another Victoria legend. In business for almost 30 years, this iconic diner lives in an old gas station, the last remaining one of its type in Canada, in the Harris Green neighbourhood. Pluto's bread and butter is the classic bacon, eggs and home fries, and the equally classic omelette – you can't go wrong with these. If you're tired of lining up at the downtown breakfast hot spots, check out Pluto's.
