Julie's Guidebook for Victoria
Food Scene
Voted best Chinese food in town by our family! (And we've tried out many different restaurants.) Only a few minutes away by car, or a short 10min walk.
Consistently great, diverse menu, great prices and quick service. Their lunch menu deals are fantastic. We love the staff there, just mention the Winstanley's sent you!
