victoria-by-the-sea / landmark cafe

 a few days after i arrived, it was recommended that i go to this little place called the landmark cafe.
since i didnt know where i was going i just started driving
 but i did get lucky and found it



 this place is awesome.  i got there the last day they are open for the season.  they told me that the day before, the food network had been there filming all day.
 sweet deal.




"Recommended in "Where to Eat in Canada" the Landmark Cafe is located in what used to be Annie Craig’s Grocery Store and Post Office at the centre of the Village of Victoria kitty corner from the Victoria Playhouse."



this is inside the cafe.  the whole place has funky stuff everywhere



i had the seafood chowder



and the cajun scallop stir fry

rocked my world !



all the rest of the shots are from around the village of victoria






this one is on the way home



well, home for now anyway :)

  2. I love it when landmarks serve lunch! especially food worthy of the food network! I also love chowder and that looks awesome. I think you have moved to a nice area of our country. Quiet and snow free. (so far) I prefer country to city and this country seems wide open. Hope most other things don't close down for the winter though! enjoy! Susan

  6. purple pooch, you surely have a way for getting about! The food looks DIVINE...I know what you mean by 'rocked my world'...sometimes food does that for me too.

    I keep looking for the right word to describe the landscape you've been showing us lately...it's so expansive and, what's the word,...it's not austere exactly...it reminds me of Alaska...well, maybe someday I'll come upon the right word to describe it...

  16. My mother was born and raised in a remote fishing town on the Great Lakes. Although Victoria-by-the Sea is ocean, it still has the feel of the town I remember from when I was a little girl. I too LOVE the Landmark Cafe. Lets do lunch there next August.
