“If you want authentic German setting you won’t want to miss this gem. The family have transformed an antique house into a bit of Europe with delicious food and friendly service.”
“This place. Honestly.. Fabulous! Happy Hour menu 3 to 5pm is SO good and our server Hayleigh was a gem.”
“This restaurant makes me want to move to Penticton. Good food and friendly staffs! The homemade garlic chili oil is unforgettable.”
“We stopped by Tin Whistle Brewing during their 30th anniversary, and it was an absolute highlight of our trip to Penticton. The space has a welcoming industrial-rustic vibe that feels both laid-back and inviting.
The owner himself took care of us and made the experience memorable. He was incredibly patient, walking us through each of the beers on tap and sharing the stories behind them. We ordered three flights to sample all 12 of their flavors, and it was worth it. Every pour had its own personality, from crisp and refreshing to bold and complex.
A few standouts for us were the stout, the coffee beer, and the blueberry tart ale—which was especially unique and unlike anything we’ve tried before. It’s no surprise they’ve won awards; the craftsmanship shows in every glass.
Whether you’re a craft beer fan or just looking for a great spot to enjoy a drink in the Okanagan, Tin Whistle Brewery is a must-visit. Friendly service, great beer, and a genuine passion for brewing make this place special.”

“We went to Kojo when it was very busy, but we were lucky to get a table for 3. They were quick in getting drink and food for two of us, but we had to wait an hour for the food and drink for our third person to arrive. Even though two of us were done eating long before any food arrived for our friend, the food was delicious! When I asked the restaurant to comp the last beverage that didn't arrive until we were ready to leave, they were very apologetic about our wait and gifted us a lovely set of sauces. It wasn't until I got home that I saw that they comped our entire meal which was incredibly generous of them. The shows excellent customer service in going beyond what was expected to apologize for our wait, and I will for sure give this place my business again in the future.”
“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.”

“Always my go to for fast, hot, and delicious pizza that is also great value for the money. Always a great selection of ready made pizza by the slice, but whole pizzas are great for feeding the whole family, and also ready in a short time. Great downtown Penticton location.”

“Skip the airfare and savour a slice of Mexico in the Okanagan at Tacos Del Norte! It’s proof that quaint and unassuming taco shacks have a silver lining. Featuring Jalisco style street food it is perfect for lunches, beach days or simply enjoying a cool place to refresh from the summer heat. Authentic taqueria and Alberta made smoker BBQ this IS THE PLACE to come! Thanks Daniel and Syril for the awesome service and excellent food! 🌮 ☀️🍺”
“We went for happy hour yesterday and were pleasantly surprised with the options, flavors and excellent service! Definitely going back ❤️”
“Thoroughly enjoyed my recent visit to do some wine tastings! Machelle was an amazing host sharing her awesome wealth of information on the grapes and history of the winery. I would recommend stopping in to enjoy a welcoming experience and try some fabulous wines! I was so impressed I joined the wine club!!”

“This is a great surprise!!! Your drive up to this very unassuming winery,however, when you walk through the door and into the tasting room it oozes elegance. There are several beautifully appointed tables to be seated at for your tasting experience. We were served by Bonnie who was a great host! Full of great information about both the history and background of the winery, vineyards and the great wines. It was later in the afternoon when we stopped here so we were hungry, we were able to grab a small charcuterie player to help tie us over. The wines are exceptional we took home a variety of 9 bottles!! If you want a great experience and a great small family-run winery you need to stop here you will not be disappointed.”
“Just visited Three Sisters Winery with my husband, our two kids, and our dog — and we had the best time! On this very hot day, the kids had plenty of shaded space to play and a whole selection of games to keep them entertained — giant Jenga, Four in a Row, chalk drawing, coloring books, and even Yahtzee. Everything was so thoughtfully set up for families. Our dog was treated to a refreshing bowl of cold water, the kids enjoyed fresh, delicious slushies and pops, and we got to relax with some wonderful wine. It’s one of the rare places where you can spend the afternoon tasting wines while your kids (and pup!) are happy and comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“An absolute gem in Penticton!
We had such a great experience at La Frenz Winery. The wine tasting was absolutely fantastic. Every pour was thoughtfully explained and full of character. The service stood out just as much as the wine: warm, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish.
What really impressed us was how kid-friendly they were. It’s not always easy to find places that balance a great adult tasting experience with genuine hospitality toward families, but La Frenz nailed it.
Beautiful views, good wine, and kind people. Can't wait to return.
Highly recommend!”
“The beautiful Penticton Lakeside Resort and Conference Centre has famously brought class, fine dining and welcoming luxury to the stunning shores of the Okanagan for many years. Today, refreshed The Hooded Merganser is a new chapter of this wonderful story. Executive Chef George Perperidas (Vancouver, Kin & Folk) and culinary team of Brannen Cyr (Four Points by Sheraton) and Justin Leckie (the Nest) use passion and mastery towards the best of the Mediterranean with a seasonal, locally sourced menu. Highlights of Italy, Greece, France and Spain are well presented and equally alluring. Pastel sunsets, spectacular lakeside location, warm service and a high degree of culinary talent The Hood is definitely perfect for all occasions- romantic getaways, happy-hour nibbles, festive family dinners or fun date nights! Thank you Aaron and Jessica for the sensational wine recommendations and attentive service. Can’t wait to come back! Good to see you Dave- so many happy guests! 🏆🥂🇫🇷🇮🇹🇬🇷🇪🇸 🍷”
“Absolutely delicious food, best octopus I have had since Greece. Wonderful that they have children’s small plate, cup and cutlery which made them feel special. Staff were all very friendly and attentive”
“Went to there based on a friend's recommendation and was not disappointed. Food was excellant, bakery selection was tasty and an overall terrific atmosphere. Will definitely keep them in mind next trip I to Penticton”
“This is easily one-of my favourite restaurants in Penticton. The family that runs it is lovely and the food is always fabulous. Whenever I have visitors we go here as a family style meal here is the best way to enjoy a great assortment of all their fabulous food.”

“Immigrating from the Punjab province in India, owners Surinder and Jaswinder Grewal have made Lachi - Fine Indian Cuisine a local gem since 2009. Newly remodeled location with a cosmopolitan feeling elevates the atmosphere but the same authentic cuisine and warm service everyone enjoys continues! Very much appreciate the new ambiance and stunning menu- it’s our Top few in the whole okanagan! 🇮🇳🏆🥘”
“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!!!”
“Edit: I’ve been here multiple times again and the coffee and service has greatly improved since my previous experiences. Thank you for providing great service and a Canadian alternative to the American owned coffee chains.
Says drive-thru is open until 6pm. It’s 5:02 right now and we didn’t have anyone in the drive-thru answer us and when we pulled up to the window, the barista inside hid from us. Signs posted in the window and menu (which was lit up) that said their hours are different for Fathers day weekend but it’s Friday… Not Saturday or Sunday. If the hours were different, the barista could have just kindly told us so instead of hiding. 🙃 I’m a bit confused as we’ve always had amazing service before but something has changed in the past month. All of our drinks we’ve ordered from here on Uber Eats have been terrible lately too. No flavour, just milky. I’ve wanted to prioritize shopping at Canadian owned cafes but… Safe to say I will not be coming back here.”
“Highly recommend!! Had our office dinner at La Casa last night and it was perfect. The food, the service and the atmosphere were exactly what we were looking for. Will be back”
“We had a drop-in tasting with Geraldine who was so kind and excellent at explaining all of the wines. We tried several white wines which were more on the dry side but very crisp and yummy!”

“Nongyao and Teeraphong Kongsaensee come directly from Thailand to bring authentic cuisine to the beautiful Okanagan. Quaint, family owned this Siam gem is truly one of our favourite in the whole valley! Fresh, delicious and always a perfect dinner anytime of year! 🏆🍚🍤🥘 🇹🇭”

“Great little bakery for your Keto needs. The owners are very knowledgeable about the lifestyle. Their goodies are DELICIOUS! Place an order ahead of time if you don't see something you like, and they try to accommodate. We love this place and drive 2 hours to shop here.”
“Tickleberry’s Downtown might not be the original, but it’s absolutely holding its own—and with way less of a lineup, which means more time enjoying ice cream and less time melting in line.
Tons of flavors to choose from (seriously, it’s a deliciously overwhelming decision), plus local treats and gifts that make it more than just an ice cream stop. They’ve even got items from local artists, which gives the place a great community vibe.
Perfect for families, and the little grass area out front is ideal for messy cones and people-watching on Main Street. Prime location, chill atmosphere, and enough sugar options to make your inner child do cartwheels. A solid downtown gem!”
“Want to know where the best ceasars are in town? Ask Declan to make you one! ❤️ this place! Oh, and they pair well with the best nachos you'll ever have (chips made in house)😉”

“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!”
“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.”
“Little Caesars consistently delivers good pizza at a great price, making it a popular choice for a quick meal. The flavor is always solid, and their Crazy Bread is a must-try. However, I've noticed that the "Hot-N-Ready" pizzas can often be lacking. Each time I visit, it seems like they don’t have enough ready/viraity leading to longer wait times. It’s a bit disappointing when you’re craving that convenience. Overall, it’s a reliable option for tasty pizza, but I wish they would improve their availability of Hot-N-Ready pies. But won't stop me from visiting again in the future the only thing that might stop me is parking availability”
“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!!”
“I loved the bright cheery atmosphere, great service plus every different type of food on my plate tasted really good!! Also, the dessert was so delicious as well!! I took my mum for her 82nd birthday here!! ☺️”
“Philo pastry trio appy was amazing. Flavours very full. So good. Excellent server. Nadine.”
“Went for Happy Hour, food and service by Brooke was excellent! She is amazing!”

“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”
“This place was amazing! The Server, I believe name was Stella, gave a stellar performance in knowledge and presenting of the wine and menu specialties. They were out of the wine that was a suggested pairing for the cornish hen piri piri I ordered but offered me a taste of 2 other wines before I chose a Chardonnay (a wine I don't usually like) to drink with it. It was all very delicious and my husband also enjoyed the duck with a wonderful Grenach. The deserts we ordered with a decaf americano finished off the dinner perfectly. I purchased a bottle of the Chardonnay to remind myself there are good ones. Thank you Orolo for a wonderful anniversary evening!”

The poutine was HUGE! the prawns buttery delicious and the wings cooked to perfection. All this for the very low price of $55. 3 people fully fed and 2 togo boxes as well. Would recommend for everyone!”
