My Top Picks in Kelowna
I love to eat good food and drink good wine, and thankfully Kelowna is home to many excellent restaurants, bars and wineries! If you’re looking for a place for a great bite, a fancy cocktail, or a fun atmosphere, here are my top picks.
Home Block at Cedar Creek Winery- This restaurant is sure to impress. Head here for a special occasion or to treat yourself. This is a coursed dinner with wine pairings and price reflects the high quality of the food and stunning location.
La Vela Pizzaria - Looking for some authentic Italian wood fired pizza? Look no further than this family owned restaurant
Ricco Room - This Cocktail bar may have the coolest ambiance in Kelowna. Sip a handcrafted cocktail, while surrounded by giant plants, and sitting on swings at the bar! You’ll be sure to get some incredible pictures as well as incredible food and drink. (P.S. The burrata is to die for)
Skinny Dukes- This 70’s themed bar/restaurant has the groovy vibes, along with unique cocktails and excellent food. Modern chinese food woth a twist anyone? Grandmas living room vibes but in the best way possible.
