Dining
If our stunning oceanview rooms and amazing list of amenities haven’t convinced you to book a room in downtown Victoria yet, we’re here to sweeten the deal with everyone’s favourite – food!
Our talented team of incredible chefs create a culinary experience that leaves guests so much more than satisfied. From the hardcore foodies to the pickiest eaters, our team works hard to ensure that every meal served at the Inn is lick-your-plate-clean good.
Aura Waterfront Restaurant + Patio
Inspired by their love of food from around the world, our chefs combine regional, farm-direct ingredients with bold and unexpected international flavours. With a curated wine, craft beer, and cocktail list to pair with small shareable plates, and an incredible view of Victoria’s Inner Harbour to lose yourself in between bites and sips, the freshly energized aura of Aura will leave you feeling replenished in more ways than one.
Aura's Afternoon Tea
Spend a lazy weekend afternoon enjoying tea in the restaurant or on the patio. With a postcard view of Victoria’s Inner Harbour as your backdrop, Aura’s Afternoon Tea is a creative take on the traditional. A perfect way to share and reconnect over tea.
Start off with seasonal fruit, rambutan, chantilly cream, and your choice of locally blended Silk Road tea. Be surprised by chicken katsu brioche, beet + shiso challah accompanying the quintessential blueberry + black currant scones with sakura almond jam + clotted cream (of course).
Afternoon Tea is available on Saturdays + Sundays from 11:30am to 1:45pm. Reservations are required at least 24-hours in advance.
