A Victoria landmark since 2004, Floyd’s Diner is a classic when it comes to brunch. Serving up satisfying portions in a fun, friendly, and family-oriented atmosphere, the vibe is laid back and the decor a little kitsch. Famous for its Mahoney, the whole menu promises quirky takes on breakfast classics!
