“Nestled in the heart of Penticton, the Polish Bistro is a hidden gem that offers a taste of Eastern Europe. Run by a legendary Polish fellow, this bistro is a one-man show, with the owner serving the entire place with unmatched enthusiasm and respect.
The menu is a delightful journey through Polish cuisine, featuring classic dishes like pierogi, bigos, and kielbasa. The flavors are authentic, and the portions are generous. But it's not just the food that makes this place special. It's the owner's warm hospitality and genuine passion for sharing his culture.
Whether you're a seasoned traveler or a local looking for something new, the Polish Bistro is a must-visit. Just be prepared to be amazed by the owner's incredible multitasking skills and the delicious food he serves with a smile.”
“This will forever be my favourite place in Penticton. Food, service, and atmosphere are 1000/10. I love the cheese katsu and honey butter fries! My order stays consistent everytime I go here, It’s THAT good.
I am destined to eat here everyday if I could. ?????? Please don’t ever close or I’ll be shattered in pieces.”
“Wow! We just got back from our first time trying, and we will 100% be back!!! The portions are filling and the prices are incredibly reasonable!!! Everything was delicious. The restaurant is beautiful and welcoming. The staff were also so kind. Too freaking good.”
“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!”

“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”

“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.”

“I am about as far from vegan as a person can get. I met friends for lunch here and the food was amazing! Had the Mediterranean Bowl and salad wraps (the rice wraps with noodles and peanut sauce). also the staff were great, service was two thumbs up. Prices are fair. 5 stars!”

“We had an early dinner reservation tonight for a birthday dinner. We arrived early and were seated right away. Being a Tuesday it was quieter. The service we received was 5 stars. Vanessa was fantastic, every need was met before we even knew we needed it! Cocktails and mocktails were very tasty. Highly recommend a mezcal ceaser!
We shared many many plates and enjoyed the quiet restaurant we basically had to ourselves. Some favourite were the hummus, Elma pide and the lamb. Top notch all around!”

“Went here summer 2024 with my wife. The food was AMAZING and so accommodating for us gluten free folk. The view was next level and we think we had the best seat in the house. We cannot wait to return on our next trip to Naramata.”

“We ate at La Casa last night to celebrate my birthday. I ordered lamb lemonado. I cut into the lamb and I hit bone that was covered with a layer of fat, I peeled off the fat and it looked like vertebra with very little meat. I ate thee meat and the fat as my hunger over came me. I have had lamb at La Casa several times before and it was excellent but last nights lamb was not acceptable. I should have complained last night but I didn't want to ruin a festive occasion but if this is what you serve now, I will be dining at another establishment.”
“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.”
“October 21, 2024. We dine at @ Earls about every two weeks. Their food is well prepared, and thoughtful presented. we did not give 5 stars because they put way too much salad dressing on. One must ask easy on the dressing or ask for it on the side. On a different note... this is for management. The Windows are so streaked and dirty it makes the atmosphere somewhat less desirable as it has nice views of the mountains which are obscured by the dirty windows. Also, above table 105/1 a Vent grate is in need of cleaning. Earls is our go to restaurant and will continue to visit there, especially at happy hour. Ribs and Cajun Chicken, my favourite.”

“Absolutely delicious and huge portions! For the same price you can pay at a chain fast food place you can go here and get a meal with enough for leftovers while supporting a local business. We tried the homemade sweet tea, the hash tag, and poutine with pulled pork, and can't wait to come back. Those potatoes were amazing and the pulled pork so tender! Don't think we will find a place that can outdo this, this knocked other places out of first place to become our new favorite :)”
“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.”
“This place is an absolute treasure. Food, atmosphere, staff did not disappoint. We were fortunate to see a huntsman up close *shout out to those Queens! it looked like heaven on a plate for real Anyway, we will for sure be back until we have tried everything on that menu.”
“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!!!”
“I was amazed by the butter chicken and the lamb saag! So delicious! Ordered the dinner special comes with rice, naang and salad. The staff were friendly and attentive. Easy street parking which is free on Sunday and holidays. I had such a great experience. Will definitely come back again next time visiting this area.”
“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.”
“Only have been here for the music and drinks. Great venue and atmosphere to catch a concert. Food looked great, based on people sitting next to me. Looking forward to having dinner there next time!”

“Shoutout for Heather (Cashier today at 3pm) Penticton Riverside location......great customer service.....good listener. Big Thanks too....for the grill cook.....prepped my order to perfection. The best A&W experience I've had since moving to the Okanagan....16 yrs ago. The key to an excellent A&W burger experience is 'hot meat'......I always ask them to make sure the patty is hot....and yummmmm, it was! Thanks team....I'll stop again :)”
“ROB at this main street A & W drive through was an absolute pleasure to do business with today! I had just finished a long day, I wasn't feeling the greatest and he was so friendly and efficient taking my order but most importantly he made me laugh. I really appreciated that personable, engaged type of customer service. Thank you for the extraordinary service with a smile!”
“The people behind the counter were great. One employee in particular made a mistake on our order. He made the wrong flavour milkshake. Instead of just replacing it, he gave up the incorrect flavor as well as the replacement. This helped alleviate any potential meltdowns from the kids lol...”
“Service pleasant & efficient at this locale (1st time @ this one!) & my usual - vegan Brown-Sugar Oat Shaken Espresso - made to perfection. 1 point off for meh atmosphere (maybe it's the decor, idk!!?) just feels not as bright & clean & fresh as other Starbucks..”
“So who ever was working valentines day 2022 at 2:00 pm pacific standered time? You did a amazing job. First we ordered three king meals. They put the meals into different bags and we had also ordered nuggests, they knew what bag to put those in some how because we didn't have to change anything. Second the fries were amazing. One of the best fries i have ever had from burger kong Third the burgers were also really, really good Not to mention how nice the staff had been when we ordered three cheese burger king meals with different changes to eqch meal. Ome was just no pickles, another was no mustard sub mayo and the last one was double patties no pickles. Over all? Really impressed”
“Wonderful Drink! Wonderful Staff! A great place to go as art of a night out!”

“Staff is really friendly and prices are very competitive in comparison to other Froyo. I was impressed by their selection of flavours and the condiments like fresh strawberry and Kiwi were delicious and yummy. Located in centre of downtown Pentincton right besides Farmers market on Saturday. This place offered the best Desert I had in a long time on a hot day.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“The best Greek salad I’ve ever had. Creamy feta slab and an addictive dressing. Great fresh ingredients. You will not regret ordering this. I have it once a week.”
“Philo pastry trio appy was amazing. Flavours very full. So good. Excellent server. Nadine.”

“The staff are amazing and the food is fantastic. I have never left disappointed”
“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.”
“Thank You Barley Mill! I ordered a steak dinner through Skip to be delivered to my mom in the hospital. She loved it! Made her whole day! Well done!! Always loved barley mill even 20+ years ago!”
“It was really great service! The girl there was super kind, recommended a booster that was good for our kids and their needs, and it tasted great. One of our kids said the watermelon explosion tasted "out of this world" ? and the way the coworker made the drink split with a drawing on it helped them know who's was who's so no fighting, 5/5 ⭐”

“Congratulations to the management and staff of Dragonboat Pub for their attention to decorating the pub and surrounding grounds with whatever fits the holiday/season. From Easter to Thanksgiving, Canada Day and Christmas, it is always pleasant looking, and quietly tasty. Please keep up the good standard, a great place for a cool beer or hot coffee, the food menu is most appealing.”

“It's your typical Boston pizza, always pretty consistent with the food, some things are better than others, like anywhere, but I like that you know what you're getting with this place. Service was excellent as it usually is. I do always find it chilly in there but that's more me than anything. All in all, definitely one of our go to places. Would recommend .”
“We had great Service from Allie today. I’m Celiac & she & staff went out of their way to make sure my Garden Salad with Shredded Chicken was safe for me. Very tasty. We were told it would be a 45 min wait & it cam faster. We were very pleased with our meal. The burger my husband had, he said was very tasty. So we’re the fries”
“I love this place! I’ve been many times and I’ve never been disappointed. I was just there with a few friends for my birthday and I got a free spaghetti dinner. Nice of them to offer that. There was even some live music, not a band or anything but a couple of different singers with their guitars and both were really good. Just nice, mellow music to accompany a great meal and some drinks. The food, service and atmosphere is always really good. So far my favourites are the Seafood Lasagna and Sicilian. I always look forward to going back here.”
“Had a great time food was delicious service was great, very friendly and welcoming. I had the lamb chops my wife had Souvlaki and it was great!”
