Restaurants in Kelowna

“Joey Kelowna is our go to when we go out to eat. The food is always delicious and the service is great!”

“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!”

“Excellent meal and great service. Food is fresh and delicious.”

“The food was amazing! The staff were top notch and the atmosphere was great.”

“Fresh, healthy, delicious. Pita Pit is my favorite place for good food quickly!”

“Absolutely amazing drinks. I've purchased kits as gifts for customers and they love it. One customer said the Old Fashion kit was the best Old Fashion he's ever had.”

“Good authentic Thai food in town,”

“Definetly coming back if I'm around town Thank's Hikari chan and the rest of the staff ( Banff ) for good food and service gochisousama deshita🙂”

“I had the teriyaki chicken dinner, and it was delicious! The crispy chicken paired perfectly with the flavorful sauce. The portion was generous, and the vegetables were fresh. The service was great, and the food came out quickly. I’d definitely come back again!”

“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”

“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!”

“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…”

“I loved my visit to Chilangos. The atmosphere is fantastic, the drinks were well made and the staff were so friendly and attentive! I soaked up the sun on their patio and had a great experience. 10/10”

“Great food and good size servings for a very reasonable price! The service was super friendly and honestly everything tasted so fresh and delicious 🤤 the only thing missing is a patio!”

“Pur and Simple is my favourite Kelowna place. I love when I get Alli as a server! She is so attentive, has a good sense of humour and really knows her menu knowledge. The food portions are massive and always a hit!”

“The mango chicken was amazing and so was the rest of our Valentine’s dinner. We had Sonja… BEST SERVER EVER!!! Can’t wait to return for another awesome dinner. ❤️”

“Jeramy great service! FOOD GREAT from out of town have been here LOTS never bad service or food”

“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:)”

“We had the best time! Our server was so great, the food was soooo delicious, and the drinks were yum. They gave us a little sparkling wine for our anniversary which made us feel so special, thank you!”

“Absolutely delicious, highly recommend.”

“Exceptional food and service. We had the specials, the tuna appetizer was incredible - loved the addition of curry, and monk fish main was perfectly cooked with some beautiful mushroom ravioli. Chef and all the staff were attentive, knowledgeable and welcoming.”

“Always a great dining experience, both food and service.”

“Every food item is good taste”

“Went there for my gf and mines 2 year anniversary, and it was absolutely amazing. It’s an Italian and Korean restaurant, two of our favourites. She ordered the gnocchi alfredo and I had the braised pork shoulder. I’m a cook myself, so I don’t say this lightly, but it was one of the most delicious things I ever had the pleasure to eat. Definitely will be checking them out again because all their menu items sound just as good. Highly recommend to everyone”

“A huge thank you to Bernie's Supper Club and your incredible team for making my husband's 69th birthday truly unforgettable. From the warm welcome to the exceptional service and delicious food, every detail was perfect. You helped us pull off the ultimate surprise, thank you!”

“Excellent service! My husband and I throughly enjoyed our time at Kasai would highly recommend. 10/10 in my book”

“We had a really good experience. Delicious beautiful food. Loved the lavender mocktail!”

“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”

“Had dinner on the roof top. Ordered a beer flight to sample some local craft beers. Our server Eve was excellent and recommended the chicken lettuce wrap, which was very good. Will have to try some other selections on the menu next time.”

“😃My husband & I come here often. This location has a wonderful, fun loving staff that go out of their way to assist customers. If I knew how to give them a 5 star review I would”

“great service , always open , the hottest coffee in this town , 💚”

“open 24/7 awesome staff 😃 😊 double double with sour cream donnut please & thanks 😊”

“Went here and was charged for 2 burgers then they wouldn't give them to us after repeatly proving the payment took over a week or 2 of arguing with them to get any refund at all sad actually they way they treated my husband 😔”

“There are some lovely employees that give exceptional customer service. These employees Jen, Erwin, Jasmine and Eiffel go above and beyond to make sure your order is correct, and if it's not they happily fix it. I appreciate these hard working employees.”

“Great for rolling by to get a quick bite to eat. The food is delicious and worth the money. The only problems I've had with the place include the drive through responder messing up an order twice in a row. this however didn't repeat. Still my favorite fast food chain.”

“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.”

“Brandi the owner is a wonderful person very much a warm and kind person that cares alot about her customers and business. The food is fantastic and dont get me started about the coffee!! Delicious!! Please give this place a try you wont be disappointed!!”

“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.”

“Amazing food and service. A wide variety of great meal and beverage options.”

“My 8yr old daughter and I tried your specialty tea Caramel Apple it was devine! she doesn't usually drink tea but we both really enjoyed this blend! we highly recommend you go in and try this cup of tea! The best way to drink tea is using chibaba tea!”

“This ice cream is hands down the best!!! We tried the one in Kelowna and ended up going back every day because it was so good! Honestly every flavor was a hit, even VANILLA. Not a vanilla person but their vanilla is so so good! Now we are back in Alberta and discovered that there is a location in Calgary JACKPOT just drove 2 hours to get ice cream because it is that good! Favourite flavors: Lavender, Pistachio, Ube, and Tiramisu. You will not regret it!”

“Food is amazing and has good gluten free options. Super friendly staff.”

“Great friendly staff and environment. My family and I have come here for years to eat out on special occasions. Tonight April 10th was our first night out eating in a restaurant in months and the food was exceptional, fresh and delicious. Best food I have had here in a long time. And that's a big statement as the food here is good each time. Special shout out to cook, kitchen crew and most of all our server Mandeep who really made us feel at home, special and provided excellent customer service. 10/10 star 🌟 experience”

“Fresh made items, bubble tea and plushies, high tea service and great atmosphere”

“best place to get pizza. has been my all time favourite place to go in kelowna since i was a kid, even better now that they have this cute cat robot to bring you your pizza that places Italian restaurant music. that is a unique and fun experience considering not maybe places in kelowna have something like that. the staff are nice and one had told me she loves working there which is always nice to know your food isn’t being served/cooked by people who hate their jobs. check this place out. great for a family outing. the lighting also is very romantic and i have taken my boyfriend here quite a lot for dates and it always seems to make the night extra special. you’re also able to take frozen pizza home to cook even you’d like , which is also super unique to this restaurant.”

“Cafeteria style restaurant with patio seating. Ordered the 1/2 & 1/2 On Kaiser (Veloute Chicken and Roast Beef), Bratwurst W/ Sauerkraut and Clam Chowder soup. The food was amazing!”

“This is a great choice, a convenient, family run restaurant. Delicious food and generous portions, friendly and welcoming service. I look forward to visiting again.”

The pricing is very reasonable for the quality of beans that you get!

Love seeing Craft 42 as part of the Kelowna coffee community!”

“Great pizza! Gluten free crust is amazing. Owner is very nice and eager to satisfy his customers. I pick up from rutland and have never been disappointed!”

But more importantly I want to commend my server Ally. Super sweet and helpful. Very attentive. Every server was pleasant. Great teamwork”

Another time we will go with Chinese friends as there are specialty dishes that sound delicious, but some guidance will be helpful.”

“I had a fantastic time at Kombucha Bar Kelowna a hidden gem for anyone who loves kombucha or is curious to try it for the first time. The tasting experience was top notch. They offer a wide variety of unique and rotating flavors, all brewed in-house with high quality ingredients. Whether you prefer something fruity, floral, or herbal, there’s something for everyone.

The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and super knowledgeable. They took the time to explain the brewing process, the health benefits of kombucha, and gave great recommendations based on our taste preferences. I really appreciated how informative and passionate they were it added a lot to the experience.

The space itself is cozy and inviting, with a clean, modern design that makes you want to hang out and sip for a while. You can try samples before choosing your favorite, and they also offer growler fills and bottles to take home.”

“Incredible food for the price. One of the best meals I’ve ever had.
All the staff were so friendly and easy to talk to, and the live music made the whole thing even better.

And if you’re a fan of cocktails, be sure to try the Kingston old fashioned. Amazing!”

“fast delivery..food was very hot and one of the best butter chicken i have ever had! Will be buying again in the future!”
