we ate at a charming brassiere called
Brassiere L'ecole. Reservations a few days ahead would probably be a good idea. Be sure to try the pommes frites.
Sooke Harbor is truly world famous - its' about l7 miles from Victoria. I haven't eaten there myself - but on my to do list someday. You can try googling it for more info.

Restaurants in or near Victoria, Canada
I am not familiar with any places for you to go, but you can always check Chowhounds and look for Victoria Canada. I think there were 50 or so places discussed. Hope this helps

Cheezz, we had "tea" at the Fairmont Empress
Found these photos online and they are pretty representative.
Cost in 2004 was $50 per person, plus tip, plus tax, plus another $20 because we said "yes" when the served asked if we wanted champagne cocktails.
It's called "high tea" but some Canadians there (our host and other guests at the B&B we stayed at) sneered at that term. They felt "high tea" should include a substantial meat item with the meal.
Started out with strawberries and cream, then a tiered tray with (per person) 4 quarter pieces of crust-less sandwiches (1 each of 4 varieties), 2 small biscuit scones, 2 tiny short bread cookies, 2 petit fours (one chocolate, one white cake with raspberry filling), one piece of chocolate...and all the tea you can drink.
