“We were a small retreat group hosting in West Kelowna, and swung by Kekuli a day or two beforehand. Since we tried to breakfast bannocks, they were able to accommadate a last minute order for our group of 7. The ladies had a filling and yummy breakfast that kept the group full until lunchtime! PS: The chai latte and coffees were amazing too! Thank you for your local hospitality and indigenous cuisine. :) Megan Dirks + Raez Argulla Brand Bliss Escapes | Retreat Hosts Kelowna 2025“

“We just found this spot and I have to rav about it! Light, pleasant atmosphere, friendly professional servers and the best California Rolls I have ever had!
California rolls can be purchased anywhere, but usually they are stale, or flavorless. GINZA'S are beautifully presented, perfect porportions, and scrumptious.“

“Recently did a tasting and loved it. Roger guided us through an array of wines and explained them very well including uses in cooking and pairing. Was a great experience. My husband and I joined the wine club membership we liked so many wines we tasted. The tasting was a sit down experience with some snacks which we all really appreciated, not rushed like so many other wineries are. Our new favourite place!“

I would come here again. I enjoyed my experience“

“one of the best ramen i’ve tasted so far. 😋 for sure will comeback. 🫡“

“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!“

“👏I love Mission Hill. The ambience and location are unmatched. The wine is excellent too. On this occasion I wanted to particularly recommend the Iconic Oculus wine tour. The tour itself is well structured and the wines are fantastic. What made it really special was our Guide, Robbie. He is incredibly well read and knowledgeable not just about Mission Hill Wines, but wine in general. He shared so much historical and geographic knowledge, from around the wine growing world. Information about the industry, the historical contexts and the wine itself. He is also warm, engaging and really fun and funny! I've been to a number of tours at Mission Hill, and yet Robbie managed to impart lots of new information that I'd never heard before. Quite a feat! I highly recommend the Iconic Oculus tour, and Robbie the guide!“

“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.“

“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. 🍷👋😘“

“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.“

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

““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.“

“Breakfast was fantastic! Everyone loved it. 🥓“

“Always enjoy a tasting here. Lovely view and tasting room, great selection and variety of quality wines. The Wine Shop manager Jerome is so knowledgeable - if you really want to learn more about wine, he is a great resource. The happy hour at the restaurant upstairs (Modest Butcher currently 3-5 PM ) has some delicious options for both vegetarians and carnivores. Their Reserve Chardonnay is so beautiful for chard fans who are looking for high quality on a budget!“

“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)“

“It’s a “must try” when in Kelowna!“

“Surprise birthday indulge for my lil wifey calls to enjoy her favourites: bubbles! Purchased in 1986 after a visit to the Okanagan from New York City, the Cipes family have pursued their vision with passion becoming Canada’s largest certified organic winery and BC’s only Demeter certified biodynamic vineyard while becoming internationally known for their terroir focused sparkling program. From planting French imported clones on his hands and knees, Stephen has certainly expanded from his fire-in-the-middle (pry-a-mid) to encompass Bordeaux varietals and new organic farmed fruit from Kaleden and Osoyoos to create his gorgeous reds. One, NV Keter blend was selected to be featured at a working lunch at 44th G7 summit. Wine maker Michael Alexander (Niagara College) has taken the torch (2018) to continue the beautiful legacy of one of our favourite sparkling wines in Canada at Summerhill Pyramid Winery! Thank you Lisa for the extraordinary and VIP tasting! Your passion and love of the teams work “resonates” so well. Loved the Chardonnay, Gruner, Cab Franc, Cab Sauv… and the Brut! Looking forward to fondue night! 🏆🥂❄️🍇 🍾🫕“

“Delicious food and generous portions. The Cesar salad was awesome too!“

“Mamma Lyn wanted a classy night in Italy so we took her to Mamma Rosa Restaurant! Candle light, classic songs and jovial laughter filled the air, Chianti sipped and fresh handmade pasta plated… Viva Italia! It began as a dream, first gelato shop then that cozy culinary treat serving nonna’s recipes since 1984 when Rosa and Giacomo Anfuso brought their love of Sicily to the beautiful okanagan. Son James joined the vision for many years keeping the tradition alive until passing the torch to Mansor Abrahim (Padova University, Antico Napoletana, Pane Vino) this January. Best local and imported ingredients, fresh chicken and veal with Rosa’s signature recipes and homemade daily sauces, sausages, and pasta- it’s in great hands! Thank you Chef for visiting the table! Lovely service and wonderful food! Thank you Kate and Arisha for your warm and fun hospitality! 🏆❤️🍷🥖🍝 Can’t wait to come back! Reminiscent of our NYC, Philly, Chicago, San Fran, Montreal, Toronto gems. Very much like Ralph’s in Philly! ❤️“

“Amazing service, views, poke bowl, and wine! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I was pleasantly surprised going to Hansen‘s on Friday evening. The great product but what really made me feel better was the five young men working in there. In a time of young people trying to find work the owner of Hansen‘s she does it right. Support Hansen’s Support your local youth it’s the best thing you can do.“
