“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!”

“We had lunch at the Cactus Club today April 12, 2022. The location is great because parking is not a problem. Food was amazing and our server, Raeya, was outstanding. She greeted us with a most beautiful smile and warm welcome. Service was consistently good throughout the meal and Raeya was readily available. She was charming and easily carried on a friendly conversation. She would be an asset to any hospitality service. H. Switzeny”

“This place is absolutely stunning! First time in Kelowna and it’s our first night staying around. Without any clues where for good food, I just browsed through google map for restaurants round the city park area. 2 places stood out. West coast seafood and this Humo. When we drove past the first one (West Coast Seafood), it seemed to be a bit boring. Menu was so so. And we decided to dine at Humo when we found that the ambiance was so lively, the person at the reception receiving us was so helpful and welcoming. The menu was fabulous! There was a 5-course chef menu at $105 and my wife and I decided to create our own 6-course menu to share instead. Turned out, absolutely stunning. We had the crab cakes, octopus carpaccio, beef tartare, BC oysters, bone marrow and miso cod fish! Yes, it was quite a feast and we enjoyed so much as the beef tartare was phenomenal, the BC oysters were so fresh and delicious! This is a place I’d certainly recommend 5+ star. Oh, yeah, we had wines, coffee and finished the meal with Macadamia Sundae as well…”

“♡ Kelowna, you’ve seriously got a hidden treasure! Buffalo Rouge Brewing Co. is tucked away in an industrial part of town, and wow — what a find. We stopped in on our way home to Alberta and were completely blown away. The food absolutely surpassed our expectations — packed with bold, delicious flavors that you wouldn’t expect from a small brewery. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The atmosphere was just as impressive — laid-back, rustic, and genuinely welcoming to everyone who walks in. It felt like one of those rare places you stumble on and instantly know you’ll be back. Can’t wait to come back!♡”

Sushi • $
“Komo Sushi is truly a gem in Kelowna – easily the best sushi experience in town. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm and welcoming, setting the stage for a fantastic meal.
The sushi here is simply outstanding. The fish is exceptionally fresh, with a melt-in-your-mouth quality that is hard to find anywhere else. Each roll is crafted with precision and care, highlighting the balance of flavors and textures that every sushi lover craves. Their sashimi is sliced to perfection, and the specialty rolls showcase a wonderful creativity, all while remaining true to traditional Japanese flavors.
Service at Komo Sushi is equally impressive. The staff is attentive, friendly, and genuinely invested in making sure every customer leaves happy. Orders arrive promptly, and the team goes above and beyond to make recommendations and ensure dietary preferences are respected.
On top of all this, the pricing is very reasonable, especially considering the high quality of both the ingredients and service. Komo Sushi delivers incredible value, making it an ideal choice for both casual dining and special occasions.
To the owners and team at Komo Sushi – thank you for bringing such exceptional cuisine to Kelowna! This restaurant has truly set a high standard, and I look forward to dining here again soon. Highly recommended!”

“Five of us for dinner Sunday Jan 22/23. First thing asked them to turn down the music. Our appetizer bruschetta was soggy. The main course of fettuccini was like glue. They offered two desserts of crème brûlée or chocolate cake, but unfortunately they were out of chocolate cake! We were the only table in the restaurant the entire evening! For a $450.00 dinner would never go back.”

Soup • $
“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.”

“"Five stars for Swan Pizza on Harvey Avenue in Kelowna! This place consistently exceeds expectations. The service is impeccable—each visit feels like being welcomed by friends, as the staff are always warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making sure you have a great dining experience. The pizza itself is a masterpiece, with fresh ingredients, a beautifully crisp yet chewy crust, and toppings that are always generously portioned and perfectly balanced.
The restaurant itself is spotless, and you can tell cleanliness is a top priority. I was impressed by how efficient they are; even during busy hours, the service remains prompt without sacrificing quality or attention to detail. And to top it all off, the pricing is incredibly affordable for the level of quality and service they offer. Swan Pizza is hands down one of Kelowna’s hidden gems, perfect for family dinners, casual get-togethers, or even a quick solo bite. Highly recommended!"”

Chicken • $
“I liked the food and how fast they prepared the meal. The one thing is that the portion. Just please increase the food portion. Usually, when I order half + half chickens, it is totally enough to make 2 people full. But from this store, we felt somewhat full not full. You guys need to do reduce the pricing because it doesn't come with enough portion. It would make sense if it was 12 or max 13 dollars for half chicken. Otherwise, it is amazing.”
Health Food • $$
“So glad to have found Gabi-she is a wealth of information and so helpful. I love this store and hate to go anywhere else to supplement my health care with holistic support.

From their wonderful coffee bar and jewelry displays to their wide selection of health supplements and grocery items, this really is a one-stop shop!”

“Unfortunately being a small establishment they don't have a family dining section so it's adults only, so I just got an order to go. However, they had excellent service, the server was very friendly and very prompt. The food was very well seasoned, tasty and fresh even after a short drive home. I enjoy good German food and there isn't a lot of options here for it. If the food stays consistent with this experience, I highly recommend anyone to come and visit. Just be wary, the smoking patio is right by the entrance, so as long as you don't mind that briefly on the way in, you will enjoy your experience over all.”

“Food was absolutely spectacular. We had an amazing meal and the staff were so kind and friendly. Prices are fantastic and the atmosphere is very cozy. Sad there is no Bluetail in Vancouver. Truly a hidden gem”
Italian • $$
“This restaurant delivers an exceptional dining experience that perfectly balances flavor, service, and ambiance. The spaghetti was outstanding—al dente pasta paired with a rich, well-seasoned sauce that spoke of authentic Italian craftsmanship. Service was impeccable, with staff demonstrating genuine warmth and attention to detail. The atmosphere is remarkable, featuring a vintage, prestigious aesthetic that elevates the entire experience and creates a sense of timeless elegance. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates classic Italian cuisine executed with precision and care”

“I've been a regular customer at Yamas for years, and I keep coming back for their roast lamb — it's genuinely one of the best I've ever had. The flavors are rich, the meat is tender, and it’s consistently well-prepared. During my most recent visit, I was served by Taya, she was kind and polite.
That said, I’d like to mention two things where I believe there’s room for improvement. First, the roast lamb tends to arrive a bit late, which can affect the overall dining experience. Second, over the years, I’ve noticed a significant increase in the price of the roast lamb, while the portion size has decreased. What used to be 2 generous chunks of lamb is now just one, at a noticeably higher price.
I truly hope Yamas can maintain the quality and value that made it such a standout in the first place. I’m leaving four stars instead of five solely due to the changes in pricing and portion size — otherwise, it remains a fantastic place to dine.”

“I can’t say enough about how amazingly awesome the Square Deep-Dish pizzas are ! Mark off a Sunday or Tuesday and go check them out for yourself … you won’t be disappointed.
I’ve been here on numerous occasions over the years and they never disappoint.
All their pizza’s are great but the Square Deep-Dish pizza’s are next level amazing !
Every time I recommend or take family / friends with me to Jackknife, they are just as (if not more) impressed !
Don’t even get me going on taking some of the leftovers home for late night snack / next day lunch !
You can thank me later !”

“Have t been to an earls in a while, have always enjoyed the food. We went to the downtown Kelowna location and found it just ok. Server was good and attentive. But overall the restaurant has a very high ambient noise, piped in music a bit too loud, the restaurant is very loud either conversations, noise from the kitchen. Food was ok. Cactus club at the yacht club much better”

Awesome food and service, too. Cyndi is the best - she went out of her way to introduce us to Kelowna’s best brewery. These two West Koot’s dwellers will definitely be back!”

Deli • $$
“We had a wonderful late lunch at Helmut's in Vernon. The sandwiches and soup were delicious and home-made. The staff were so helpful and accommodating. After lunch we spent about $75 in the deli and had some of the best meats, sausage rolls and pepperoni sticks we've ever had! My only complaint is that they're so far away from where we live! Five BIG stars to Helmut's!”

Normally I don't eat BBQ pork in the soup, but I tried BBQ pork today; actually, it was tender and fresh, and there were lots of veggies. Mostly, the staff were very nice and made us feel comfortable. Thank you for your smiles! I will try duck next time. Salt and pepper squad and tofu hot pot recommended.”

“Our first visit, and as others have said, finally some real Chinese food in Kelowna. We had the Dinner for 6 and it was excellent, with the dishes being served on a staggered basis so that we could enjoy them fresh. The portions are very generous and we will be having the leftovers for dinner at home tonight. Another time we will go with Chinese friends as there are specialty dishes that sound delicious, but some guidance will be helpful.”

“High Tea at the Eldorado was quite good. I thought the food was tasty and fresh. The tea selection was good and served hot. It did start to get a bit loud in the dining area and there were some bugs flying around as there is open access to the outside. I had a lovely window side table with views of the dock and lake. My server was friendly and attentive. My only real complaint is how dirty and disgusting the windows are, especially the bottom corners. They were filthy and had cobwebs and bugs. It was gross.”
Ice Cream Shop • $$
“Amazing ice cream spot in Kelowna! I tried the mango and Biscoff combo and it was perfect — refreshing, creamy, and super flavorful. Portions are generous, staff are friendly, and the little waffle crisp on top is a nice touch. Definitely worth a visit when in town!”

“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.”

“BNA has a great atmosphere with a spacious, lively vibe that makes it a fun place to hang out. The drinks are solid, and they offer some unique specials like the Silly Soda, which I’d definitely recommend if it’s your first time visiting. The servers and bartenders were also super friendly and welcoming, which added to the experience.
The only downside is the wait, on a Friday or Saturday night, if you don’t arrive early (around 8 or 9), you’ll likely end up in line for 30 minutes to over an hour. As well as, sometimes the music too loud so its hard to talk or hear people.”
