Quick bites: Best lunches in Greater Victoria that take under 30 minutes

It’s lunchtime. You’re hungry. You only have 30 minutes. And you can’t call ahead.

Where are you going for lunch in Greater Victoria?

That was the scenario laid out to three local foodies who recently joined Joe Perkins and KC Kyle on the MicCHEK Podcast. They were allowed to pick a location or a specific dish at a location but their choice had to fit the “quick bite” criteria.

The episode was the latest MicCHEK Roundtable, a weekly podcast discussion that often highlights local food and restaurants on Vancouver Island.

Below is what the guests went with. You’ll find the address to each pick below as well.
