“A great lunch at Bamboo Chopsticks! The food was fresh and flavorful, large portions and great service! Thank you - I will be back for sure.“

“A great experience from the minute you walk in the door. Everything was tastey and fresh. We WILL be back“

“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.“

“I had the pleasure of going into Little Hobo Soup & Sandwich Shop and was impressed by the level of service and care. From the moment we walked in the door you could just feel this was a special place. In a world that is fast paced, and everyone seems to be rushing through their day, this place gives you a moment of escape for even a short amount of time. The food is great and feels like some home cooking from grandma. Nostalgia is something they serve up daily, especially the Doukhobor Borscht (my little Ukrainian heart exploded). They even have take away items that you can indulge in at home. But the thing that stood out the most was the way their staff went above and beyond to make you feel welcomed, from the initial walk in, directing the line, and even while we waited for our takeout I think every staff member came by and made sure we didn't need anything. Our hospitality industry is lacking in that connection and level of care. One last thing, Crystal posts the daily specials in such a heartfelt way to their Facebook page that it's almost impossible to not give a shout out to this little small business and give them some community love that they so deserve.“

“I recently visited Cactus Club Cafe in Kelowna, and overall, it was a really enjoyable experience. The location on Water Street is great, especially if you want a nice view of Okanagan Lake while you eat. The atmosphere is modern and stylish, and I loved the open air dining area, it’s perfect for warmer days.

The food was delicious! I tried a few dishes, and everything was presented beautifully and tasted fresh and flavorful. The Truffle Fries were a highlight, and the variety on the menu made it hard to choose just one thing. Their drinks are also worth checking out, the cocktail I had was refreshing and paired perfectly with the meal.

The service was solid too. They were all friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without feeling rushed.

The only downside I noticed is that it’s on the pricier side which I expected for a premium casual dining spot, and it can get a bit busy during peak hours too!

All in all, I’d recommend Cactus Club Cafe if you want tasty food, a good vibe, and a great lakeside view. I’ll definitely be back with family and more friends!“

“Was on a lovely day trip into Kelowna, and stopped here for some tacos! Had some beautiful, and kind servers greet us! The food was absolutely amazing, exactly what we needed! The (seemily) manager was also kind & filled us both with compliments. Was a pleasure.. I can’t wait to come back again:)“

“Absolutely the best restaurant! The food is great! The servers are great! And the walls are covered with antique signs with fun messages.“

“10/10 amazing food and great service. Family friendly and lots of vegan options.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Not bad for a restful pit stop. Delicious food. Quick and enjoyable dine in. Patio fantastic. Good service. Nice drinks.“

“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!“

“When I first moved to Kelowna and was living at the Manteo, I survived on Bai Tong takeout and room service. After all these years, this family-run restaurant is still serving up the same great food and it always comes with a warm smile“

“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 ordered the butter chicken dosa with an ice coffee (which comes blended with ice cream) it was a surprise but also so delicious! The food was really good and a good portion too. I would come here again. I enjoyed my experience“

“The food is amazing. The service was great with our meal being prepared extremely quickly. And the people there are lovely and super appreciative of your business.“

“🍜 Dropped by Mad Mango Café and was seriously impressed! I ordered the Laksa Noodle Soup (XL) and Curry Beef with Rice — both dishes were 🔥 packed with flavor, comforting, and served in generous portions. The laksa had the perfect balance of spice 🌶️ and creaminess 🥥, while the curry beef was rich, tender, and paired perfectly with the rice 🍛.

💰 Pricing is very reasonable, especially considering the quality and portion sizes — definitely great value for money!

😊 The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with friendly and quick service. Perfect spot for a satisfying lunch or dinner.

🔧 The only small suggestion I’d make is that the plates and bowls are starting to show their age and could use a refresh. It’s a minor detail, but updating the serving ware would really elevate the overall vibe.

✅ All in all, a fantastic local gem for hearty, flavorful meals. I’ll definitely be back and will be recommending it to others!“

“I tried the bigg-eh and it was amazing! Quality toppings and great crust! Patricia was a sweet and nice lady! will definitely try again and recommended to others :)“

“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.“

“We made a lunch reservation at the Dawett Fine Indian Cuisine today. My husband had a chicken curry with rice, Nan bread, rice and I had an amazing lamb dish! The food was delicious! The prices are very good, the service was excellent! If you are in Kelowna....check out this restaurant!“

“The bike shop is Best cafe in town!“

“Stopped for dinner this week and the buffet was hot and plentiful. My daughter ordered a combo meal and we were surprised! The serving size was huge and the food was so fresh. Best looking and best tasting food we've had in a long time. Will be stopping in anytime we are in West Kelowna.“

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

“Excellent food thanks l’ll recommend it“

“Breakfast was fantastic! Everyone loved it. 🥓“

“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)“

“High praise to Cedar Creek's Home Block restaurant. We've been there a number of times and they've always exceeded our expectations. From accommodating us when we made our reservation to top notch service from everyone, mouthwatering food and stellar wines pairings, we wanted for nothing. I would certainly recommend this gem to anyone!“

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

“👏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.“

“What an incredible experience! From the moment we arrived at the winery, we were made to feel welcome—literally—with a glass of welcome wine while we waited to be seated. The setting was stunning, and the patio is the perfect place to relax and soak it all in.

The food and wine were absolutely outstanding—every dish was beautifully presented and paired perfectly with their selection of wines. The team was knowledgeable and passionate, answering all our questions about both the menu and the wines with such care.

A special shoutout to the manager, Nicky, who was absolutely lovely and made our visit even more memorable. Her warmth and hospitality really stood out.

We’ll definitely be returning to enjoy that beautiful patio again soon!“

“Had a fabulous birthday lunner! Services by Sunny was amazing, she was very attentive. The food was delicious, steak and sushi a delightful combo. Steak was done perfectly in a spicy ponzu sauce. The spicy California roll was delightful! The aburi Salmon roll was delicate and also delicious. The flavours were outstanding! Highly recommend it! Of course their pumpkin pie with chantilly cream is the best around. The view of the lake on a sunny fall day is spectacular.“

“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.“

“Staff were very nice. Ensured that I had a gluten free option and took care to make sure I was happy with the choice. I had lamb burger in lettuce wrap and baked yam fries. Was delicious.“

“It’s a “must try” when in Kelowna!“

“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! ❤️“

“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! 🏆🥂❄️🍇 🍾🫕“
