Blue Crab has returned to our list of great eateries in Victoria -- for a while, it had little of interest to us after having an excellent, innovative menu. we still miss the old clam chowder but our experience this past Tuesday was excellent.

About the restaurant

Inspired West Coast Food & Legendary Location

Our menu creations reflect the ever increasing abundance of freshness that British Columbia’s West Coast has to offer. The freshest local ingredients, paired with craft beer from some of Victoria’s finest micro-breweries, and a wine list featuring BC and globally inspired wines. Steamship Grill & Bar aims to satisfy every palate.

We were inspired by the historical significance of our surroundings. Built in 1924, the Heritage Steamship Terminal building is an important landmark in the history of Victoria, BC. Designed by Francis Rattenbury in the Beaux-Arts style, it was the building that welcomed steamship passengers from all over the world. Now open to the public with a gift shop commemorating the history, the Heritage Steamship Terminal is a great place to enjoy a delicious seafood meal.
