Our new favourite spot in town! We’re big food and wine people, but usually going out in Kelowna is a disappointing experience and we leave feeling like we overpaid for mediocre food, but this place did not disappoint! Everything was delicious. They clearly know their wines and provided better quality options than most restaurants in Kelowna.
The food was amazing, too. Great combinations of flavours, perfect seasoning, all balanced really well. You can taste each ingredient, nothing was greasy or overdone. You can tell they really care about the food they serve. The house made gnocchi was to die for - light and fluffy so it just melted in your mouth. The pappardelle with shrimp was perfectly cooked, a tad peppery but honestly that’s such a small detail. Would order again for sure. Our favourite item was the seafood cakes. The flavour and texture was outstanding. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside with nicely chopped pieces of scallop and prawn that you could get a good bite of. 10/10. I’ve never wanted to send my compliments to the chef before, but whoever’s back there really knows what they’re doing!
Rita was lovely, we felt welcomed from the moment we came in and the atmosphere was relaxing and friendly. Several other tables were regulars and the owners chatted with them like old friends.
Everything was reasonably priced and it’s the first time eating out in Kelowna where we felt like we got the value we were looking for. Cannot wait to be back, this will be our go-to spot from now on!!

The perfect little place for a date, or intimate dinner with a loved one. Stuffed with regulars who come for the cozy atmosphere and wonderful wine list. Rita and Jason are great hosts and always make you feel right at home. Get Rita to pick you something delicious from her (mostly Italian) wine cellar for a special treat.

The previous comments about small, quaint, delightful, friendly, remarkable - all are applicable. Food was pretty amazing and really enjoyable, served in a true tapas fashion. Wine selection was inspiring and our choice was delicious. We are coming back soon! They do not have an online booking tool but phone or email works. Also enjoyed talking about our travels and sharing pictures with our hosts.

The most amazing dinner with fresh ingredients and so much flavour! The best cauliflower I have ever had. Everything was delicious. 10/10! Can’t wait to go back
Second visit. Confirms it’s my favourite restaurant in Kelowna. The food is literally garden fresh, seasonal and very flavourful. Perfect preparation, unique and absolutely delicious. Excellent wine pairings to match. The owners are friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is very intimate and small which is lovely, but be sure to make a reservation as you might not get in otherwise. I can’t recommend this local place enough and am dreaming about when I can return. It’s top tier, but without the fussy pretentiousness that often comes with that. Do your tastebuds a favour and go!

This place is an absolute gem. Both owners were there. Small intimate place but not super formal. Gnocchi was one of the best dishes I’ve ever had, tasty hand selected wine, and everything is no-spray farm/garden fresh! Would recommend to anyone looking to share a meal with family or friends!!
Vegetarian options: Couple vegan options on the menu. Couple vegetarian.
Parking: 6-10 tables. Intimate dining but not super formal.
I recently visited Tutt Tapas with a vegan friend, and we had an amazing time! My friend loved the vegan gnocchi—she said it was one of the best she's ever had. I went for the seafood pasta, and it was absolutely delicious.
The owner and chef were super nice and made us feel really welcome. It was the perfect spot to catch up with my friend and just relax. I highly recommend!

food tasted good but portion sizes are HALF of what they should be. way overpriced for the portion sizes it was shocking how small they were for that price. food was 8/10. value was 1/10
This was our best meal on this trip to Kelowna hands down. The food was fresh, delicious, and all made to order. Very small resturaunt with no more than 10 small tables. Service was excellent. This will now be a staple of our visits here each year. The proscuitto flatbread was to die for.
Parking: Small free parking lot for the little shopping plaza
Every time I visit Kelowna I drop by Tutt St Tapas for a delicious meal and welcoming atmosphere. Rita and Jason do a wonderful job making the meal a wonderful experience. The chef is outstanding. Recommend TST highly.
Went here for our anniversary! It was a very different experience loved the food and the owners

Disclaimer-it’s a long one. Well had high hopes for good Spanish tapas. Owner was kind enough to get us a table as soon as a table paid and left, which we appreciated. Wine selection is great and started with a wonderful bottle of pinot grigio. Well except for dessert, that was the end of anything good. Started with hummus, dish came with carrot and apple sticks, a flavourless hummus and warm flat bread, it literally looked something you would serve a 5 year old for lunch. We didn’t finish it, and it sat at the end of the table for the remainder of the meal. Next was veggie risotto balls, while they had a good flavour, the what was suppose to be a formed ball, fell apart as the fork touched it and tried to get to my mouth, would have been a great vegetable risotto, not ball. Next was seafood cakes, yikes! texture and flavour was awful, putting mashed potato with chopped up seafood in my mouth was not appealing. Now hummus still sitting on table, not touched, gone through 3 dishes and the owner, never asked us if we were enjoying any of the food. Fourth dish was gnocchi with brown butter, husband thought it was ok, I did not enjoy tiny pieces of mushy gnocchi soaked in brown butter. Last was the spinach and mushroom empanadas, which were good, but I was already turned off from everything else, still no inquiry from the owner who cleared every dish, if anything was good, and finally took the hummus dish away. The only reason I ordered dessert was because I had seen desserts come out for another table and they looked good, ordered pecan pie with caramel sea salt ice cream, and it was delicious! Would I go back, for wine and dessert absolutely, for food you would have to make me eat at gun point.
