Restaurants in Nelson

“Great food and service. BBQ is best we have eaten in ages.”

“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! 🎉🏆🥳”

“It's like a home from home. My Son Brandon goes here regularly. I'm from Edgewood and use to live in Nelson and it's my to go place . Even now when I get to Nelson.”

“Love the vibe, people, food and drinks! All very unique and outside the norm🖤 the esthetic little touches make all the difference.”

“Sprout had quick service with good-sized portions. I was traveling with two others, and we each ordered different bowls. It was great to have healthy and filling options after a long day on the road.”

“Great beer. We stopped in for a flight and a game of crib. It was a small little tasting room that we are told gets quite busy from time to time. We were lucky, there were not too many people inside.

Tried a flight of beer and they were all quite good. Definitely would love to have a couple of them in a can, the London Fog being one of them.”

“This is the only place in Nelson that we went to more than once. It was a hit with everyone in the family. The food was fantastic, the vanilla Coke was a standout. Are fish and chips was really good, and my daughter's burger was exceptional.”

“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!”

“what a great dinner...have driven past the Kelowna location a dozen times and while working in Nelson and looking for something different decided to order the fish, the beef and the prawn taco and the Mexican soup too..even to go the food was tasty, fresh and delicious...sooo good...see you next time, 😉😉 and already planing a dinner out in Kelowna once I get home”

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

“This place is amazing. Food made with love. Food that leaves you feeling healthy happy and nourished. Great tea. The couple that runs the place are very kind and good hearted. Highly recommend.”

“I just love this place. It is merchants like this that make Nelson such a neat city. Reminds me of things I would get in Montreal or Paris. I visit here almost every week. The cheese, the cured meats, jams, sausage rolls, pastry, baguettes and the all the rest. Most of all I love the owners and employees. What a gem.”

“Skye-lea was wonderful with my daughter while I attended a family wedding. She arrived with totes of activities and toys. She managed bedtime like a pro and I came home to a sleeping kiddo. It was so nice to enjoy an adult evening knowing my kid was having a blast with Skye-lea.”

“They have a new chef . I have to say it was the best Sushi I have ever eaten. Holly our server was fantastic! The whole experience was amazing . I would highly recommend going . Try the calamari, not a huge portion but the best I have had being deep fried . Amazing .”

“We had Pizza Mike come and feed the guests at our wedding reception. He was beyond accommodating and friendly, and the food was amazing. Thors Pizza is a must in Nelson. 10/10”

“I’m glad I ended my night and trip here. Funny little entrance way. And you walk to the basement and into a small room that fits 20ish people. I ordered my Mezcal cocktail. It was delightful. Balanced, smooth and unique.
I had two Medicare cocktails in Nelson prior, so this made up for those.”

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

“Great atmosphere, friendly staff.”

“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!”

“We found the place by chance and to be honest... it was the highlight of our trip so far. Josh showed us how to make Tofu and soy milk. Best moment of our day :)
Thanks Josh!!”

“I used to come here a loooot for Hot Choc but recently tried the Nelson fog (which is just a superior London Fog). Drinks are always 10/10 and idk if he is cheaper than other stores (not a local) but he for sure isnt expensive.
Also if you so wish you can talk to him about anything and get great conversation with your drink.”

“We had heard good things about this restaurant and we were not disappointed! Everything was delicious. The TanTan ramen was standout and the dandan noodles might be one of my new favorite dishes. Would recommend! The servers were also very friendly and did a great job even when they were busy with a full patio.”

“The peanut butter cups are 🔥”

“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.”

“They have delicious food and great service! The customer service from these guys is amazing! The spring rolls and the green curry is so good”

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

“The banana milk (basically a banana smoothie) is absolutely the best drink here, maybe even in Nelson, Nice atmosphere with all the woodwork and leatherwork. Super cozy inside and the staff is always friendly.”

“I highly recommend Nelson Sushi Wood! I had salmon and tuna Nigiri, rainbow roll and ebi sunumono. The raw fish was buttery soft and almost melted in my mouth! I haven't had sushi this amazing since I moved from Victoria 25 years ago. Thank you!!!”

“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 😊☕”

“I have fond memories of going to Selkirk and getting a muffin and coffee at the Dominion to study. I stopped in late Sunday and thankfully I could grab and espresso orange, and strawberry/rhubarb white chocolate (the famous pear and white chocolate were long gone). The new owner is so kind and added fresh juices/smoothies/shakes to the menu as well as ‘hot’ breakfasts with eggs, bacon and the like. Improving on a downtown standard is impressive.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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:)”

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

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

“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.”

“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.”

“Food was really good and our server was one of the best ones we've had in a long time! She was really personable and kind. Loved her!
My chicken slouvlaki was so tender and juicy, all the flavors were right! Our table got a pizza, calamari, ceasar salad and pita bread with tzatziki. Everything was good!
Only thing was the hostess put us in the back corner of the restaurant when there were nicer tables available and the restaurant was not that busy. It was a bit odd but still would recommend this restaurant to anyone passing through!”

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

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

“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.”

“By far the best bakery I have ever been to! Incredible selection of fresh, organic and delicious pastries. Friendly staff, lovely ambience and nice relaxing music.”

“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.”

“es eskisito simple mente delisioso”

“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!!”
