“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!”
“This place is a hidden gem. Eventhough it is on Main street, I feel it is overlooked. The food is really good here and I've had the Curry Pork Loin Katsu on rice and also with udon. The Korean fried chicken is very tasty here too. Price is very reasonable.”
“This restaurant makes me want to move to Penticton. Good food and friendly staffs! The homemade garlic chili oil is unforgettable.”
“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.”
“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”

“First time there the other day. Sat outside and was immediately greated and seated. Fun vibe, dog and kid friendly. Self serve which I am ok with. Burgers were a bit pricey for just a burger but they were good! I will definitely go back there.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“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.”
“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.”

“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!”

“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”

“One of the best places in Penticton.
Food was amazing and honestly tastes like home made, staff is super friendly and try to accommodate you as much as possible.
Lamp should be the go to but other dishes are also great too.
The atmosphere is very chill and even the patio is so nice.
You won’t regret coming here.”
“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.”
“We celebrated my friend’s birthday at Barley Mill Brew Pub, and it was an unforgettable night! The trivia night was the star of the evening—fun, engaging, and a great way to bring people together.
We ordered a variety of food and drinks, and everything was outstanding! The flavors were spot on, and the drinks were well-made. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure our celebration went smoothly. The pub’s cozy and lively atmosphere added to the experience. Definitely a great spot for a fun night out with friends! Highly recommended!”
“Originally the stunning property was an apricot orchard owned by the pioneering Riddle family in the early 1900’s. Joining that spirit were Vera and Bohumir Klokocka arriving from Czechoslovakia to purchase in 1979 and plant their dream vines in 1984. Next, creation of the beautifully rustic European grist mill design timber frame we see today all laden with white pine and Douglas fir beams truly transports you to the historic countryside still preserved. Carry on to present, Award winning Veteran winemaker Kathy Malone (Calona Vineyards, Mission Hill, ) dazzles you with her terroir driven, minimal intervention portfolio. Simple and elegant! With Chef Evan Robertson (Hardware Grill, Aerie Resort, Pig & Duke) leaving his mark on the Naramata Bench with locally sourced, terroir to table, seasonal menu- it’s a “Must Visit”! Awesome service, rustic historic building with lakeside views and always beautiful menu🇨🇦🏆🥂🍷🥩🍗 Hannah was friendly and very attentive!”

“The Polish Bistro in Penticton is a fantastic spot, perfectly located and full of charm. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance—cozy and inviting, with an authentic Polish feel, while still being a great place to relax, socialize, and enjoy a great meal.
Having been to Poland myself, I was honestly surprised by how incredible the food was—it truly reminded me of the meals I had over there. The pierogies and schnitzel are both top-notch, and if you go, you have to add the mushroom sauce. It’s rich, flavourful, and takes everything to the next level.
It’s also awesome to see they offer a selection of Polish beers like Tyskie—such a nice touch that adds to the authentic vibe.
The gentleman who runs the front is incredibly kind and welcoming, creating a warm and relaxed environment that makes you feel at home from the moment you step inside.
If you’re visiting Penticton and appreciate food made with care and heart, The Polish Bistro is absolutely worth a stop. A true taste of Poland right here in the Okanagan!”
“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 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!!!”
“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.”
“Standing above the lake in a undulating tapestry of vines —where time, it seems, reclines languorously beneath pergolas of mythic serenity—Play Estate Winery is less a winery than an epiphany incarnate. To call it “beautiful” would be to describe the Sistine Chapel as merely “nicely painted.” This is a place where terroir meets transcendence, where every sensory indulgence is a memorable one. Ah, the view! It sprawls like an Impressionist’s fever dream—verdant vineyards rolling toward the horizon in painterly hues of viridian and sun-kissed gold, all suspended beneath a sky too impossibly cerulean to be real. But let us speak of the wine, that noble taste. Each pour is a chapter of an ancient text, scribed in fermented whispers and aged in reverent stillness - a brooding yet flirtatious varietal—dances across the tongue with the chiaroscuro complexity of a Tolstoyan heroine: at once spirited, melancholic, and persistently alluring. The staff, too, are paragons of discreet attentiveness and visual beauty. They also have a Renoire on site. Highly recommend.”
“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.”
“Food was great and the service was incredible!! Beverley was absolutely fantastic!!”

“We stopped for Wine and got an authentic Italian Sandwich served on fresh focaccia bread. “No Mustard, and no Mayo”, that’s all Danny had to say to convince me to try his creation. Best decision ever!!! Very tasty and will be back to try his other creations next time I’m in the area.”
“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! 🇮🇳🏆🥘”
“Best pizza I had since I moved here. I ordered butter chicken pizza from them and it was great. It was fully loaded. Staff is also very friendly. I don't post reveiw so easily, but their pizza forced me to do it. From now on, I have found the go-to place for my pizza cravings.”

“Amazing customer service, very welcoming and great atmosphere. Moira (i hope i spelled her name right) was amazing! she was very helpful and helped me with choosing the right ice cream flavour. her attitude was amazing!! Mud Pie is amazing btw! will definitely be coming back”
“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.”
“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 everything about this place. My friends and I took a wine tour around the area and this was the favorite winery for all of us.
Every single wine was delicious. I particularly loved the Syrah.”
“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.”
“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.”

I really appreciated that personable, engaged type of customer service. Thank you for the extraordinary service with a smile!”

Please keep up the good standard, a great place for a cool beer or hot coffee, the food menu is most appealing.”

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!”

We just wanted to say thank you to our beautiful waitress, Aileen! She was very pleasant and our kid was happy when she talked to him! Aileen knows a way of approaching different customers. Her knowledge of me is top-notch! She advised us to have a perfect vegetarian meal!
We came back to Boston Pizza in Penticton, and her professionalism is one of the reasons!
As well, cudos to gentlemen from Phillipines. These two workers and delicious food made our day!”
