Restaurants in Nelson

“Excellent food and service”

“Great building, amazing beer, and super welcoming tap room. This is my favourite brewery in Nelson by far. One of the brewers took the time to explain the new Joyride Juicy Pale Ale (experimental hops and all) to us along with getting large ToGo cans of low production gems like Forgot the Rum made my inner beer geek smile!!”

“So good went 2 nights in a row! Greek food options for both of us both nights. All fresh flavorful ingredients made in house. Nice beer and wine selections Enjoyed small atmosphere and good service. Nice change from pub food menu”

“Sprout has the most delicious and flavorful vegan food! I have loved everything I've tried on their menu. Some of my favs are the Baja Cauli Tacos (seriously their Cauliflower in any of their dishes is amazing!!), Falafel Bowl and Curry Bowl. It's such a great spot and has the friendliest staff! I'm so thankful to have such an amazing vegan restaurant in Nelson! I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone, you won't be disappointed!”

“Named after the famous San Marzano tomatoes grown at the base of Mount Vesuvius Marzano brings the world favourite to the heart of the Kootenays. Owners Ryan and Lea worked hard to perfect their dream- best ingredients, fine wine list, imported forno and venturing to Napoli to be mentored by legendary Pizzaiolo, Enso Coccia. Chic decor, quaint yet cosmopolitan along with sensational handmade cuisine it is a foodie heaven! Reminiscent of NYC, Montreal, Vancouver, and top class dining locales we’ve visited! Thank you for the lovely service and warm welcome Mary Beth. You are Fairmont class! 🏆🍷🥃🍕 Perfect for date nights, impress a foodie, celebrate life or enjoy birthday like we did! 🎉🏆🥳”

“My wife and I are regulars at Jackson's Hole..we stop there every time we go to Nelson and it never disappoints. The food is always perfect and the service is top notch. Our two favorite servers Kyla and Sarah always go above and beyond to make our visit the best. Clive the owner is a great guy and is always great to visit and chat with. The atmosphere is very comfortable and welcoming. We would highly recommend this restaurant.”

“Best sushi in Nelson hands down ! Don't even bother anywhere else if you want great sushi.”

“Good Mexican restaurant also popular with the local population and for take out as wel.
Friendly staff, secluded tables and nice atmosphere.
Good menu, we tried the mi burger es su burger and the chicken tinga quesadilla which both were delicious.
Would fully recommend eating at this restaurant.”

“I absolutely love this place. Oso Negro has such a cool atmosphere, great (strong) coffee and very friendly staff. I've come to Oso quite a few times and every time that I've been there, it's felt like a little piece of heaven on earth. The building and garden are stunning.
I've gotten a few different muffins from Oso and all of them have been scrumptious - they seem to often experiment with new flavours and combos which I think is great.
The coffee is definitely high quality. It's very strong and they don't have many options for sweeteners, so keep that in mind if you like your sweet fraps and lattes.

I tell any friends and family to stop by Oso when they're on their way through/to Nelson, for good reason! Truly a wonderful cafe.”

“Felt very safe during our socially distanced dinner on the outdoor patio! Lots of heaters and service was excellent! Food was the BEST! Thanks for making my 2nd covid birthday, extra special! 💕”

“I am seriously obsessed with the pizza here and you honestly won't get better bang for your buck in Nelson. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients they're using in the pizza and it will have you coming back for more. On-top of pizza, everything else is delicious and worth checking out. Also the owners and staff are always so nice to deal with. I'd give them more stars if I could. Très bien!”

“Great atmosphere, friendly staff.”

“A must visit for all craft beer lovers! All the beers are delicious! Especially the Kolsch & the Pale Ale! But what makes this place great are the incredible people who work here! I can’t say enough about the amazing service we received! Graham and Jillian were incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and attentive, ensuring we had the best experience from start to finish. They made the atmosphere warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy our time in Osoyoos! Whether you’re a beer enthusiast or just looking for a great place to hang out, Backroads Osoyoos is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Just cocktails down in this little speakeasy. No matter who your bartender is either Cameron or Cody and their counterparts will provide you with a delicious and wonderful experience. I cannot recommend it enough. No place in Nelson holds a candle to this place for delicious cocktails and atmosphere.”

“been here twice with my bf. Best Indian food I've ever had hands down. my bf wasn't sure about trying for the first time but I've made him a lover of the food.”

“Just amazing”

“Amazing staff, food and owners! 10/10”

“Got takeout from there tonight and it was delicious , will definitely be back . Would also recommend as well.”

“Acorn and Oak was the perfect solution for my husband and I to be able to both partake in the full evening at a wedding. Arranging the care for our daughter was a breeze. They catered services to meet our needs and provided advice and offered ideas to solve logistical challenges. Service was professional, she was kind and most importantly became quick friends my 20 month old daughter. I highly recommend Acorn and Oak and if you’re thinking about getting childcare for your kid or a group of kids at an event, you can’t go wrong here!”

“I had the most delicious cake at my friends house the other day from Cake Betty. It was so wonderful that I feel compelled to write a review. Today I went to Cake Betty with another friend who bought the most beautiful small cake for a birthday gift. The owner gave us each a cupcake to enjoy. It was the best cupcake I’ve ever eaten - white cake with butter icing and a little bit of caramel sauce. So delicate and satisfying - I could have eaten three of them :)The bakery is so cute - like a tiny bakery in London, or the West Village. A lovely historical building with a sweet little store front. Go to Cake Betty - you will not be disappointed:)”

“Great food. great people! amazing music reminiscent of something you would find in NYC”

“The cutest little coffee shop! Coffee was amazing, and muffins were delicious. This is one of our absolute favorite places to visit when we’re in Nelson. It was hard for us to avoid buying any of the cute merch too!”

“Love all the great food breakfast lunch and dinner. Yum.”

“great service, great food, great drinks. will be back for sure. 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

“Amazing cupcakes and cake for our favourite new mama to be , could not have been any yummier ! 😂 I wish I could order these cupcakes at restaurants!”

“Best in Nelson, can't wait until they open..5 stars”

“best cakes I have ever eaten. its a pleasure - but I am ruined! :)”

“Best sweet snack around! They also don't have a ton of garbage in them, if you have any little ones running around they are going to love these. You might think they are a tad more expensive than other cupcakes but you pay for quality here, well worth it. Give them a try!”

“Beautiful historic hotel. Great food. Community oriented. Nostalgic atmosphere. I love going to the Hume and recommend this spot to anyone at anytime.”

“The service is always great and friendly and they give you ice-cream!”

“Oh my goodness! We are so lucky to have The Rose Garden Cafe at Lakeside Park. Normally at the beach there is just a crappy concession serving greasy bad food, but the Rose Garden Cafe serves real food that’s so delicious! Truly one of the best burgers I’ve had, plus it’s in a beautiful park setting. Reasonably priced and fast friendly service. Thank you so much to the team, excellent job!”

“Excellent breakfast sandwiches. I usually go with a black drip coffee, which was good, but I also tried their mocha and it is the best I've had. Staff was nice, service was fast, good location.”

“Delightful, casual, local cafe with history in the area. Charlie & Daylen served us the featured sandwich (breakfast burrito) & our coffees. We probably could have shared the burrito it’s so hearty & big! Come with an appetite. They serve no.6 coffee (also a locally brewed brand) and feature a local artist on a gallery wall. A great spot for a Baker Street hang. I even stuck around to get some work done after my lunch meeting.”

“Grabbed a loaf of sour dough. Each day they have a different group of breads on the rack. Offer to slice it at the location was a great option. We only grabbed bread but there was a display of beautiful baked items and options for coffee. Friendly and warm with a few tables to sit.”

“Great beer and atmosphere”

“Like my 2nd home or kitchen. Love the atmosphere. Food is excellent. People- wait staff and customers - always friendly. Laid back atmosphere, no pressure.”

“Great place to have coffee, very good location & great atmosphere 😊☕”

“Get the raspberry jam! Amazing food and service!”

“All the food is all homemade in house including the bread, and that stuff is the bomb. But knowing they’re a cult and all tips go to the leaders, i dont tip. But service is usually good just sometimes socially awkward.”

“YUMMMMMM SO GOOD!!! I got the miso pork ramen and I’m so certain I left this place weighing like 20 pounds more than I did before I walked in the door, I could NOT put my bowl down! 100% recommend”

“Great food. Love the well integrated spices and flavours. Don’t forget to check out the KTK Masala shop across the street! You can get their sauces and chutneys to take home, and all kinds of other ethic delights, asian & local produce AND locally grown gourmet mushrooms. What a treat!”

“Awesome food, awesome service. Meatloaf sandwich to die for! Chile for soup.”

“I wasn't sure what I wanted or knew how to order. The owner, I assume, started asking me questions:
Rice or noodles?
Brown or white?
Thin or fat
Next thing I had two to go meals.
I ate the noodles first and it was so delicious 😋.”

“WOW!! Best service! Friendly staff! 10/10!!”

“This is my sixth time trying the new pizza here. It’s absolutely off the hook! So good! #bigkona #duffalopigus”

“We are a family from out of town.
Absolutely loved our meal.
Waitress was efficient and friendly.
We will always go to Leo's when we are in Nelson.”

“My first A&W here, I asked for something on the menu with substitutions and they were happy to accommodate. The wait was quite quick. The food quality was mixed, the sausage and patty was good but the bacon was quite greasy, dripping with grease every time I lifted my food. I’m not too sure if that’s a common thing with A&W, but overall I had a good experience and the food was tasty. I would visit an A&W again to try their non breakfast menu.

“Great food and service! The cocktail list is interesting and creative. I had the Marlin Brando. Sweet and tart deliciousness. They have a lunch special that sounded really good but I chose the Yum-Son noodle bowl. The meat was done perfectly and the sauce and other “stuff” was fresh and tasty. My boyfriend had the yellow curry. Also excellent! My only negative was the tip prompt on the pos terminal started at 22%.... I think that’s an industry trend though.”

“es eskisito simple mente delisioso”

“Had Brunch today. I tried the eggs Benny and my husband had the breakfast poutine. Today was the first time I have ever tried egg Benny and it was fantastic. I'm super picky about eggs and they were cooked perfectly. Thanks for a delicious meal. My husband also enjoyed his meal.”

“Have had a couple meals there. everything is fresh, the breaded portions are crispy not soggy. Best chow mien I have had in a long time. noodles were freshly cooked, It was delicious. servers are always awesome.”

“Have been here a couple times - every time we came here have been good! Their happy hour menu is very reasonable. No complaints here!”

“Muito gostoso o prato típico do Canadá”

“Awesome atmosphere. The brunch is fantastic. Best we’ve ever had. Eggs Benny, scrambled eggs, sausage, pancakes, French toast, the best hash browns and bacon & made to order omelettes. Can’t beat the price!!”
