Restaurants in Penticton

“Always my go to for fast, hot, and delicious pizza that is also great value for the money. Always a great selection of ready made pizza by the slice, but whole pizzas are great for feeding the whole family, and also ready in a short time. Great downtown Penticton location.”

“I honestly hate to give anybody a five-star review. Is extremely rare for anyone to deserve a five-star review these days. I had never been to this restaurant before but I guarantee I'll be back. My wife and I stopped in for dinner. From the time we were greeted at the door until the time we left the experience was exceptional. Service was on par with the best anywhere. Food was simply amazing and the presentation was wonderful.”

“This brewery is a gem for anyone who appreciates both creativity and quality in their beer. They consistently push the boundaries with inventive brews, yet never compromise on craftsmanship. Every pint reflects their deep knowledge of brewing, and the staff are not only passionate but also genuinely kind and welcoming. Beyond great beer, it’s clear they operate with integrity—whether it’s sourcing ingredients responsibly or fostering a positive community atmosphere. If you’re looking for a place that values both innovation and ethics, this brewery is a must-visit”

“Love the Okanagan Lake view. The food is delicious and the drinks spectacularly delicious. The bartender has some delicious drinks. Good selection of award winning BC Wines. I love going there for late night drinks and appetizers.”

“We were a captive audience as there are not many places to eat in walking distance in this area. Relieved to find that the food was good and service was kind. They mostly do take out, so there is not much for atmosphere, but one of the staff came and gave us a couple of pocky sticks just because - nice touch. Still wondering what the "burrito" would taste like!”

“Food, service, & entertainment”

“One of the best places in Penticton.
Food was amazing and honestly tastes like home made, staff is super friendly and try to accommodate you as much as possible.

Lamp should be the go to but other dishes are also great too.

The atmosphere is very chill and even the patio is so nice.

You won’t regret coming here.”

“great food and great customer service!!”

“Philo pastry trio appy was amazing. Flavours very full. So good. Excellent server. Nadine.”

“In late April 2023, we were blessed with a pretty fantastic winetasting experience here.Kelly was very friendly and inviting, and I felt fortunate at the amount of time that she spent, explaining the evolution of this winery. I say fortunate, because we were able to go behind the scenes and look at the tasting room while it was under construction. in fact, we were blessed enough to be able to take a look at all of the developments of this fairly new location. You wouldn’t know it, but they have an entire production facility, right downtown, complete with everything you need to make the wine… Large tanks, barrel storage, everything. It was quite something to see.Back to the tasting, we enjoyed our tasting at the bar in the restaurant. They had a decent selection of very good wine like evolve sparking wine, Chardonnay Pinot blancwhite effervescence which was Chardonnay Pinot blanc I think she said,a different version of that followed by 2021 Pinot GrisAnd more.A note about the restaurant, they Source their proteins/meat from locally grown, organic, where possible. you can see some of the meat as it’s ‘dry aging.’ They will take one of these hunks of meat, and cut your steak They cook it. I don’t know any other place in the Okanagan that does this. We were told that their menu is pretty much constantly changing, as nothing will be served if it isn’t fresh or Current, as far as locally sourced as much as possible, is concerned. This restaurant takes its food very seriously, and you’ll know this when you dine here.Overall, it was a very good tasting experience, located right down in Penticton, BC. if you have some time, I recommend checking this place out.Other notes:The entire facility is located in a heritage building, so there were some limitations imposed upon how much change they could make.There won’t be any other tasting bar like this in the Okanagan, they’ve made quite the effort to capture the wine tasting, “cocktail culture“ fine dining, a shared place, with some private rooms for you to book a more intimate function and/or events. I think they’ve even had at least one proposal planned on this location :-)”

“First appearances were beautiful. The layout is lovely and they have very nice merchandise available. We were fortunate to experience the wine and chocolate pairing. Our tasting guide was very personable and knowledgeable, giving us an adequate break down of each wine.”

“Great food and amazing service Tim was great and very knowledgeable”

“A cozy, small, and nice wine tasting place. There’s ample parking. There’s not much staff to attend to guests though. It is one of the winery that you can visit in Penticton. It is only a 7–10-minute drive from Penticton City Centre.”

“Originally the stunning property was an apricot orchard owned by the pioneering Riddle family in the early 1900’s. Joining that spirit were Vera and Bohumir Klokocka arriving from Czechoslovakia to purchase in 1979 and plant their dream vines in 1984. Next, creation of the beautifully rustic European grist mill design timber frame we see today all laden with white pine and Douglas fir beams truly transports you to the historic countryside still preserved. Carry on to present, Award winning Veteran winemaker Kathy Malone (Calona Vineyards, Mission Hill, ) dazzles you with her terroir driven, minimal intervention portfolio. Simple and elegant! With Chef Evan Robertson (Hardware Grill, Aerie Resort, Pig & Duke) leaving his mark on the Naramata Bench with locally sourced, terroir to table, seasonal menu- it’s a “Must Visit”! Awesome service, rustic historic building with lakeside views and always beautiful menu🇨🇦🏆🥂🍷🥩🍗 Hannah was friendly and very attentive!”

“We celebrated my friend’s birthday at Barley Mill Brew Pub, and it was an unforgettable night! The trivia night was the star of the evening—fun, engaging, and a great way to bring people together.

We ordered a variety of food and drinks, and everything was outstanding! The flavors were spot on, and the drinks were well-made. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure our celebration went smoothly. The pub’s cozy and lively atmosphere added to the experience. Definitely a great spot for a fun night out with friends! Highly recommended!”

“Quick service, AMAZING food. Will be going back! The scallop appetizer is one the best dishes I have ever had”

“The Polish Bistro in Penticton is a fantastic spot, perfectly located and full of charm. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance—cozy and inviting, with an authentic Polish feel, while still being a great place to relax, socialize, and enjoy a great meal.

Having been to Poland myself, I was honestly surprised by how incredible the food was—it truly reminded me of the meals I had over there. The pierogies and schnitzel are both top-notch, and if you go, you have to add the mushroom sauce. It’s rich, flavourful, and takes everything to the next level.

It’s also awesome to see they offer a selection of Polish beers like Tyskie—such a nice touch that adds to the authentic vibe.

The gentleman who runs the front is incredibly kind and welcoming, creating a warm and relaxed environment that makes you feel at home from the moment you step inside.

If you’re visiting Penticton and appreciate food made with care and heart, The Polish Bistro is absolutely worth a stop. A true taste of Poland right here in the Okanagan!”

“Fantastic poutine and fish & chips!! Excellent customer service!!”

“Great drinks, and I love that there is a dark beer option for us that like to drink real beer (joking aside, the other beers are amazing as well). Each time I go to The Cannery, it feels like going over to a friend's place, highly recommend to everyone!”

“It was very well organized for Covid social distancing The food was delicious They could not accommodate my husband’s dietary needs”

“Two brats and a treats my usual. The best tube steak food truck in between the two best lakes if the Okanagan.”

“This was one of the wineries that we visited on our Naramata Bench wine tour. The staff member that we had the tasting with was very informative. She taught us not only about the wines/how they are made but also shared information on how we go about tasting the wine. The vibe of the winery was very down to earth. I would recommend if you visit Naramata to stop by this winery.”

“I loved the bright cheery atmosphere, great service plus every different type of food on my plate tasted really good!! Also, the dessert was so delicious as well!! I took my mum for her 82nd birthday here!! ☺️”

“Always a great atmosphere and good prices. A must stop for coffee downtown.”

“After much high praises and recommendations from guests, our anticipated visit was an absolute pleasure! With over 20 years experience in the industry, living in Italy, an importer of high quality wines/ingredients, and creating the very successful La Terrazza restaurant in Vancouver, Guilio brings his expertise and finesse to the stunning passion project, Sonetto. Chef and Maître di sala, Guilio is a welcoming and gracious host and son Gianluca commands the kitchen taking over the legacy. Gorgeous presentation, warm ambiance, gentle laughter and Rat-pack songs fill the air- it’s a “MUST VISIT”! Reminds me of my favourite NYC, San Francisco and Montreal gems! 🏆🍷🍇🍝”

“Went for Happy Hour, food and service by Brooke was excellent! She is amazing!”

“We special ordered a Christmas Yule log cake from Wouda's this year that looked like it was right out of a high end magazine! It was Awesome and so Professional. We were so pleased to display the cake, and when served, found that everyone raved about the wonderful taste. Thank You Wouda's!!!”

“Everything I've tried off the menu has been fantastic with great service. Pick up orders are always ready on time. I highly recommend dining here”

“Love that they have Paneer Pizza!

Vegetarian options: They have Paneer Pizza, plant based sandwich, plant based bites, garden veggie
Creamy garlic pizza…..”

“The best Ice Cream in Penticton! The service is extremely friendly and the ice cream is really THE best! You definitely need to try the Salted Caramel and/or Vanilla ice cream. If you like healthy "Ice Cream" then choose their Sorbet! Good organic coffee and reasonable prices! We go there every week in Summer, sometimes every day :-) I like that you do not need to buy a BIG portion of Ice Cream If you do not like it, you can just order baby/dog size :-) Love it!”

“after having an extremely unnerving experience at a local bar, my friends and i needed to blow off some anxious energy and have fun in a place where we felt safe. we did not want to end our night on the town in penticton early and on a bad note so we headed to the hub, only having heard good things. while the drinks and food were amazing and affordable, most notably, the staff (bartenders, servers, and bouncers) were so kind, caring, and understanding… having been visibly shaken up from our time at said previous bar. the energy from the staff alone had us immediately feeling better while the band (shoutout to cobra radio!!) and the crowd ensured our spirits were fully lifted. i would recommend the hub to anyone looking for a comfortable, affordable, and fun spot to have a beer or listen to some live music in penticton! already looking forward to coming back.”

“This is my top choice for fresh, delicious food in town. The service is outstanding, with quick and attentive staff. The generous portions and excellent value make every visit worthwhile.”

“Absolutely stunning! The Kitchen by Abul Adame is one of the BEST Iberian restaurants we’ve had the pleasure to enjoy! Chef is passionate, creative, unapologetic-this translates through his table side presence and his perfect dishes! Tapas is not only an art but a way of life (dine later, sip cocktails/wine, socialize and savour, often presented at long paced intervals). This is definitely a foodie’s heaven especially with magical sunsets 🌅 🇨🇦🏆🥂🍷🦑🦐🐟🇲🇽🇵🇹”

“Great friendly service, amazing fresh ingredients & yummy pizzza 🍕💕”

“Wow! 🤩 I wanted shahi paneer…boyfriend wanted pizza. The answer? Lala Ji’s Pizzeria!! We ordered three small pizzas at an affordable price and they were delicious! The shahi paneer pizza was my favourite ❤️ Will be back again 🤗”

“Immigrating from the Punjab province in India, owners Surinder and Jaswinder Grewal have made Lachi - Fine Indian Cuisine a local gem since 2009. Newly remodeled location with a cosmopolitan feeling elevates the atmosphere but the same authentic cuisine and warm service everyone enjoys continues! Very much appreciate the new ambiance and stunning menu- it’s our Top few in the whole okanagan! 🇮🇳🏆🥘”

“We’re new to Penticton… and this is already our favourite Bar! We’ve been twice so far, and we’re definitely gonna become regulars of their Sunday night Karaoke 🤙🏼 Martin (the owner) is the bomb, great dude”

“This is a grab and go sushi bar in the superstore, not a restaurant.Better taste and quality than restaurants ,cuz compared to the other sushi restaurant, usually consists of two or one ingredients in the roll but this one usually two or three ingredients inside and that makes taste better.”

“Had the grilled cheese and soup. The crazy yummy soup is homemade and the grilled cheese is made to perfection with 2 types of cheese and I chose to add bacon which was the right choice. I love that if you are in a hurry to get through security you can order first and enjoy it delivered on the other side while you wait to board.”

“Due to the covid pandemic, we celebrated my birthday at home this year. To make it special, my sister got me an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. Because chocolate is my favourite flavour, she got me a very tasty log cake. With chocolate soft serve and chocolate crunch on the inside, this decadent cake was surrounded by chocolate fudge then wrapped in a thick outside coating of chocolate/vanilla ice cream sprinkled with chocolate crumbs and birthday decorations. Not only did we enjoy it for my birthday but because this cake serves eight, we continued to celebrate for a few more days!!”
