Not a member of the Victoria Dinner Club yet? What the heck are you waiting for??  

In many places in the world, people gather to talk, share, and linger over their meals which may stretch out for hours. All too often, here in North America, it seems we are too busy to sit, sip, savour and socialize. Grabbing something on the fly, eating in our cars, fast food eaten alone (or in the company of our phones) may technically nourish the body but does little to nourish the soul or build stronger bonds with family and friends. 

We are missing out by not sharing long, slow, leisurely meals together while enjoying the company of others and practicing the fine art of conversation. 

The Victoria Dinner Club is our answer to this unfortunate direction the culture of food and dining has taken. 

HOW DOES THE VICTORIA DINNER CLUB WORK?

Every couple of months a group of us - (some will already be friends, some will become new friends…) will get together in a different restaurant in Victoria. Expect chef’s tasting menus, sneak peeks at new menu items, interesting wine pairings, and a chance to experience food and drink you might not necessarily try otherwise. 

Depending on the restaurant, there may be live music, or dancing, or jugs of margaritas. There may be board games or special desserts prepared just for us. Though we’ll usually be going out in the evening, I love brunch, so every now and then we’ll mix it up and go on a dining adventure during daylight hours. 

WHAT DOES IT COST?

There’s no cost to join - just join the Victoria Dinner Club Group on Facebook. It’s just that simple. Join the conversation and we’ll keep you in the loop. 

Of course, eating out is more fun with friends, so if you know someone you think would enjoy eating out with the rest of us, invite them to join the Facebook group as well. 

It’s going to be fun! Let’s go out for dinner, shall we?   

Slow Down and Smell the Baking

Slow Down and Smell the Baking

How can we find ways to slow down and fully enjoy the food we eat? It begins by inhaling deeply and appreciating the scents associated with food and cooking. Sharing a snack or a meal with friends and family also enhances the experience. No time to cook? Explore some of the great restaurants in Victoria.
