If you have ever been to Victoria, BC, you know that it is a city that loves to eat. Only one city in North America has more restaurants per capita than Victoria (San Francisco). A small city that can be easily explored by foot, Victoria is the ideal destination for a gustatory getaway.
The Seventh Annual Dine Around and Stay in Town event will take place from February 18 to March 7, 2010, in Victoria.
57 restaurants are participating in this year's event. They will offer three-course menus for $20, $30 or $40 CDN. To help make your meal complete, restaurants will suggest British Columbia Wines for each dish.
Here is an example of what you can expect for $20: Sips Artisan Bistro on Simcoe St. offers a choice of seafood chowder, organic greens or a spinach and blue cheese salad for an appetizer; and a local cheese plate, a charcuterie and cheese plate, or a local fish plate for an entree (suggested pairing: a 2007 Tinhorn Merlot). For dessert, enjoy Spinnakers truffles (paired with Quail's Gate L.H. Foch). Prices do not include beverages.
A complete list of participating restaurants and their menus is available at Dine Around and Stay in Town.
In order to encourage travelers to Victoria to stay longer and eat more, several excellent hotels are offering special pricing during this event: $69, $79, $99 and $129 per night. A complete list of accommodations is available at Dine Around and Stay in Town.

Ride the ferry to the Belfry Theatre
Belfry Theatre in downtown presents Bordertown Cafe. This play is a co-production with Prairie Theatre Exchange from Winnipeg, and is another great play from the Canadian canon. Take advantage of the scenic ferry to Victoria and cross the Salish Sea to take in an afternoon or evening at the theatre. You won’t want to miss a show that the Hamilton Spectator calls “…humorous, human, touching and recognizable…”
This play is a gentle and funny slice of Canadiana, filled with quirky and endearing characters. 17 year-old Jimmy, who grew up in a greasy spoon on the US-Canadian border, has a big decision to make. His soon-to-be-remarried father wants him to come and live with him in the States. His mother, Marlene, trapped in a life of missed opportunities, can’t seem to say the words “don’t go”. Marlene’s gregarious American mother won’t shut up. And her quiet farmer dad refuses to tell Jimmy what he should do. You’ll be touched and amused as you watch one gawky teenager become a young man.
Season Tickets are available. They are a great excuse to plan a weekend getaway in Victoria on a regular basis. Savings on single tickets are up to 28%, and you will be seated in “your” seat throughout the season. You may exchange your tickets should you not be able to make your scheduled performance. Another fantastic perk is the free, professional childcare we offer for one of our Sunday Matinees. Please check out the Belfry Theatre for more great perks of season tickets.

There is always a reason to cross the Salish Sea and visit Victoria. Here is a compelling reason for fans of Joan Didion and the theatre to visit Victoria: The Belfry Theatre’s presentation of “The Year of Magical Thinking”, a one-woman play based on Didion’s memoir of the same name.
Seanna McKenna in The Year of Magical Thinking at the Belfry Theatre
Seanna McKenna, one of Canada’s leading actresses, is well suited to this one-woman play based on Didion’s memoir. She embodies the intelligent woman whose life is suddenly confronted by grief. Compassionate, funny, and heart-wrenching are all words that come to mind – along with unforgettable. This is a deeply thought-provoking and ultimately uplifting theatrical work of art for the holidays.
The Belfry Theatre is in the heart of downtown Victoria, an easy walk from the ferry terminals at Inner Harbour. Leave your car in the United States and enjoy a getaway to Victoria
The Year of Magical Thinking runs through December 13. Please see The Belfry Theatre for more details.
