The Secret Restaurant Hidden In The Forests Of Canada – MUNCHIES Guide To Victoria

In episode two of MUNCHIES Guide to Victoria, Amanda is finding out precisely why Victoria is called the City of Gardens. She starts by checking out Metchosin Farms, where the farmers conserve the seeds for their treasure crops. Then Amanda heads to the middle of the forest to meet up with Colton from Savour the Wild. Colton cooks his distinct, Michelin-quality foods in the middle of the backdrop of Victoria's rich waterfront woods. Spoiler alert: there's a bald eagle sighting! Then Amanda heads to the world popular Butchart Gardens to explore the Japanese Gardens and have a look at the elegant tea space. And lastly, Amanda heads to dinner at end dive, where ingredients are all sourced on Vancouver island.

    1. Me. If you let politics control your emotions instead of what you actually see in this video you’re going to live a really stressful life.

    2. Victoria is a very beautiful city. It might be the most European looking city on the continent. Highly recommend visiting there one day

    3. @Freyr_Unsui I’ve been there several times and I know someone from Victoria. I’ve had this take for years and not a single person has disagreed with me. I just think you’re wrong.

  1. Thank you for this content. The channel hostess has a very monotone voice. It would be great to hear more energy when she narrates. This is not hate, but rather feedback for the video quality.

  2. Is this the same Canadian Forests where people can choose to end their lives inside a machine ?

    1. @thortremble2794 Youtube doesn’t allow links. Look up This Empty Field Is Technically a Restaurant.

  3. Slow food is so much more than opposition to fast food and working with local producers. It also works to protect and preserce historical foods, whether that is produce or licestock. It leads in going back to small scale, ethical rearing, not mass produced animals fattened too quickly and processed too young. It is about enjoying the path toward the ultimate experience of lovingly grown, raised, cooked food. And its not just about food, iys about slowing down in life, enjoying being in the moment, not rushing for the sake of getting to the end goal. So much goes into the Slow movement, and it is a beautiful movement.

  4. So lush and green and perfect. I have no idea why so many of the other comments are trolling….

  5. Interesting how many shitty people watch Munchies and leave comments that they would never say to someone’s face. I guess they get off on that sort of thing. I’ve lived in Victoria for a couple of years now after living several places on the planet and Victoria is a paradise. Just one last note for all the people with negative comments. Don’t come here. People are really fucking nice here.

    1. Preach! Not sure why Munchies is so prone to this on all their videos when they are free and such high quality.

    2. @DanDan-makesacomment lot of people on here who hate their lives apparently

    1. I thought about asking Weber for the jumbo, when you’ve got to hike everything down to the beach you start to question size though 😅
      The big win with the go anywhere for me was the two vents on the lid so you can pull smoke across much more coolly.

  6. I love how you featured Savour the Wild and what they’re doing to bring more awareness to the incredible food scene on the island – more of them please!!

  7. how do you go to Victoria for a food experience and have zero interaction with Indigenous Peoples or culture?

  8. How are they so many effen ads ….11 mins in and about 8 ads already….smh
