50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Kelowna

“The food was amazing! The staff were top notch and the atmosphere was great.“

“I can't believe I didnt leave a review sooner! I've been ordering food from here for years. I remember getting Kings food as a kid at the farmers market and I continued to order from them after I moved out. The Sweet and Sour Veggie is my husband's and my favorite. We also like the hot crispy bean and the curry crispy bean. My husband is not a vegetarian like myself, but he absolutely loves the food from Kings as much as I do. Always excellent customer service and consistent quality food. Janice is an absolute sweetheart.“

“We had lunch at the Cactus Club today April 12, 2022. The location is great because parking is not a problem. Food was amazing and our server, Raeya, was outstanding. She greeted us with a most beautiful smile and warm welcome. Service was consistently good throughout the meal and Raeya was readily available. She was charming and easily carried on a friendly conversation. She would be an asset to any hospitality service. H. Switzeny“

“It was very delious breakfast.“

“A clean plate tells a story. Food was great. We arrived at 2:30 and although there was a steady stream of diners, the place was quiet and not crowded. I was surprised by the number of youth who patronize this place.
The food was not inexpensive, but you definitely got what you paid for. Full of flavour and lots!“

“Amazing people ,one of the best beer in town and food.“

“This cute place feels timeliness. Like a little bit of India was put into Canada.

I would come here again. I enjoyed my experience“

Three of us are celebrating our birthdays September and October and WE WERE GIVEN EACH FREE DESSERT from the MENU which was very generous of them! So, I am going back to this restaurant for their service. I am strongly recommending them for their very good service and tasty filling burgers! Worth it! Thank you Sarah for excellent and friendly service!“

“We went to Zabb with our one year old and Mia greeted us with the best service! She paid close attention to the fact that we had a little guy. Asking where the high chair would be best situated, bringing him a little set of his own cutlery and a plate and cup. It was really nice to see the detail and prep toward kids in the restaurant. She was amazing! The food was UNREAL as well. So good and so much flavour. I will absolutely be making multiple stops to this location in the future now that I know how great they are!“

“We had the best experience at our wine tasting with Lark. Lark was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the wines we were tasting. Beautiful setting and a wonderful place to spend some time.“

“Delicious & lovely dining experience! Beef tataki, ebi gyoza, deluxe assorted sashimi & nigiri were devoured quickly and immensely enjoyed. Staff are friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!“

“Ethan was the best server i’ve ever had by far. He made our experience so much better. It was my mom’s birthday and we’re leaving actually right now and i couldn’t help but write this right away. He was friendly, went above and beyond by a mile, added special twists to make our night that much better, and overall made us feel like celebrities aha! Definitely ask for Ethan and you’ll see what I mean. 10/10 coming back for not just the food, but for the entertainment of him.“

“Great price value! I've never seen any other noodle places that are willing to add so many ingredients in a bowl. Had a 15$ laksa and got large pieces of delicious chicken curry, fresh big prawns, and countless veggies. And the soup base tasted authentic. Strongly recommend!!!“

“The portions are absolutely massive - there will be take home boxes with leftovers for the men in your life. We always bring our friends and family here - the chef kills it time and time again.

Be aware that the bathrooms are a free for all - there may be a dude on a toilet next to you. It is at the best - very awkward.

That being said - say hi to the cows on your way out. 🍷👋😘“

“We had the best experience at our wine tasting with Lark. Lark was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the wines we were tasting. Beautiful setting and a wonderful place to spend some time.“

“Amazing pizza and cool location! Very neat pizza oven!! It was a well worth it stop when we were in Kelowna!“

“Food was absolutely spectacular. We had an amazing meal and the staff were so kind and friendly. Prices are fantastic and the atmosphere is very cozy. Sad there is no Bluetail in Vancouver. Truly a hidden gem“

“Excellent food thanks l’ll recommend it“

“Great place. Will be back“

“We are always treated so well here. The service is impeccable. You won’t find nicer staff. They are hustling in there and rarely take time off. The food is delicious, consistent and fresh. If you had a poor experience, I encourage you to try again. Everyone has off days. Or not, more room for me! ❤️“

“Great food! All of it is amazing so far.“

“They brew great beer and serve on site what more can I say?“

“Breakfast was fantastic! Everyone loved it. 🥓“

“This place was incredible. The best blueberry scone my wife and I have ever had. It's subtle, nuanced, and will test your insulin levels in the best way possible. If you're within an hour, you need to eat here.“

“We sat in one of the floor booths, which was fun. My partner ordered the chicken teriyaki and didn’t really like it- it wasn’t what he was expecting (flavor-wise), and he gets chicken teriyaki at most sushi restaurants! He said it was not very flavorful/kind of boring. I got a salmon sashimi dish and I did like mine. I tried his and yes, it was nothing to write home about. Overall the dining experience was decent, but maybe we could have tried another dish for him. We didn’t get sushi rolls but perhaps we should have! I would go back and try this place again.“

““The Weight of Wanting”
By K.A. Hill McPherson

Monday night. The pub sat lakeside, quiet in the off-season. A few men, alone in their routines, nursed their drinks like a dying habit. The air was thick with words, their voices loud enough to cover the silence that lived in all of them, as they tried to fix the world with opinions too worn to matter anymore.

Then the door opened.

A stranger stepped in. Not from around here. You could tell by the way his coat settled over his shoulders, by the shine of his watch that caught the bar light. Generous. Alone. Drunk.

He slid onto a stool near the locals, slapped a black metal card on the bar.

“I’m buying. What’ll it be?”

The men didn’t hesitate. Beers. Shots. The ritual.

They drank like men wandering through a desert, desperate for something to fill them, knowing it wouldn’t be enough. The whiskey burned, but it never reached the emptiness inside.

Then she walked in.

There was no rush about her. She moved like she knew she could take her time.

Tall. Blonde. A cashmere sweater that caught the light, cigarette pants that fit like they were made for her. The kind of woman men had killed for, the kind who had seen it all and remained untouched by it.

The air shifted. Conversations faltered. The men watched her the way the thirsty watch rain, as if just seeing her might be enough.

She sat at the far end of the bar. Ordered bourbon on the rocks, her voice low, steady. Her eyes didn’t meet theirs, didn’t even drift in their direction. She was somewhere else. Or maybe she was just done being seen.

The bartender leaned in close. “That’s the good stuff.”

The men nodded. They knew.

But they didn’t speak. They couldn’t.

She took her time with the drink, as though savoring a moment that wouldn’t last, even though she knew it couldn’t. The men watched her, and in the space between their stares, they felt the weight of wanting something they’d never have.

She finished her drink. Paid without a word.

Then she was gone.

The door shut softly behind her.

The men stayed in the quiet, the kind that comes after something has passed, but none of them can quite understand what it was.

The generous man cleared his throat. “Another round?”

The bartender nodded, pouring the next drink without a word.

The world outside was cold, still, dark. And the men kept drinking.

One drink at a time.“

“Truly one of the best venues for live entertainment in Kelowna. Always been my favourite pizza place too. The pickle Rick is to die for!!! So proud of the owners for rising above adversity and creating a beautiful, warm safe place for EVERYONE to enjoy. Dunnenzies is not only a pizza place/restaurant/bar/live venue but it is a COMMUNITY and a beautiful, loving, supportive one at that. I am so grateful to be able to host my monthly paint n sip event there. Also amazing staff and management and did I mention the pickle Rick?! (Also tried it with the garlic aioli dip last night DYING 🤤🤤 was so good)“

“One of the best Chinese restaurants in Kelowna! The food is truly authentic — full of flavor, fresh, and perfectly cooked. My kids love everything we order, and I especially enjoy their spicy dishes — full of heat and depth without being overwhelming. The service is always friendly and attentive, and the space is bright and clean. Highly recommend!“

“Always good burgers & shakes.“

“It’s a “must try” when in Kelowna!“

“Stopped by Dakota’s Bar & Grill in Kelowna and honestly, it was such a refreshing experience. The vibe here is totally different from your usual bar — it’s got this warm, laid-back energy that instantly makes you feel comfortable. You can tell it’s a place where regulars and new faces mix easily, and everyone we met — staff and guests — was super friendly and welcoming.

The food really surprised us in the best way. The protein in our sandwich was perfectly cooked, juicy, and flavorful. And the cheese? Just the right amount — enough to add richness without overpowering anything. One of our sandwiches was a little extra crispy, but not in a bad way — still super enjoyable. It felt like they actually care about what they’re serving.

There’s something about Dakota’s that makes you want to stick around a little longer — maybe it’s the cozy interior, the vibe at the bar, or the fact that you don’t feel rushed. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more food off the menu. If you’re in Kelowna and want a chill spot with great service and solid eats, give this place a shot!“
