Q at the Empress is a refined raw bar and modern seafood restaurant on the ground floor of Victoria's iconic Empress Hotel, with sweeping views of the Inner Harbour. The menu draws heavily on BC and Vancouver Island's coastal waters and local farms, featuring freshly shucked West Coast oysters, Dungeness crab, hand rolls, and sustainable seafood. Live music is a nightly feature, and the restaurant sits at the heart of Victoria's busiest waterfront tourist district on Government Street.
