Canadian Importers of Premium Rooibos Tea. Based in Penticton but sell tea at the Kelowna Farmers Market. - Codfathers Seafood Market

Artisan loaves like Fig & Anise, Asiago & Black Pepper, Artichoke, Olive & Cheese Focaccia and a decadent Callebaut Chocolate Loaf just to name a few. - Okanagan's Finest Foods
- Oriental Supermarket
Soba Noodles, Rice Paper, Mung Bean Threads, Miso Mix, Thai & Indian Curry Pastes, Star Anise in bulk & more. If the Oriental Supermarket doesn't have that Far East selection you're searching for I'm not sure who will. A sushi & bubble tea bar is a fairly recent addition. - The Mediterranean Market

Too busy to shop? Let Lisa & David deliver delicious and good looking organic produce, yogurt, eggs, bread & more to your door. Or stop by their Saturday market for last minute good deals. - Valoroso
A favourite gourmet food store with obvious Italian influence. A vast array of cheese & meats, imported Italian goodies, canned goods and pasta. If you're in need of a refresher, order an espresso at the back and a sandwich to go.
Fromage Okanagan Style
Winery Eats
- Burrowing Owl Vineyards ~ The Sonora Room
A simple and elegant favourite. If you are just visiting, take home a bottle (or a case) of Burrowing Owl. You won't find it "out there." - Cedar Creek Estate Winery ~ Vineyard Terrace
Some of the valley's best wine is paired with Chef Geoffrey Couper's inventive, enthusiastic creations focusing on local -and- a gorgeous view. Among its many accolades, Cedar Creek was named "Winery of the Year" in 2002 and 2005. - Gray Monk Estate Winery ~ The Grapevine Restaurant
- Mission Hill Family Estate Winery ~ The Terrace
Another incredible winery dining experience. Chef Michael Allemeier makes admirable use of local ingredients & creates locally inspired menues. If you have the pockets and the palate consider the "Chef's Table" which includes a private tour, tastings and a seven course meal paired with Mission Hill Wines. - Quail's Gate Estate Winery ~ Old Vines Patio
A true vineyard experience. Instead of sitting high above the vineyards like many wonderful Okanagan winery restaurants, the patio is practically nestled in the vineyard. - Sumac Ridge Estate Winery ~ Cellar Door Bistro
- Summerhill Pyramid Winery ~ Forster's
Kelowna Eats
- Bouchons Bistro
A cozy and casual French Bistro in downtown Kelowna. Thoughtful wine list and frites to die for. - Fresco
Always my first recommendation to friends and out of town guests. Fresco is a world class restaurant in the heart of the Okanagan. Chef Rod Butters creates seasonally inspired menus & relies heavily on our local produce. Audrey Surrao masters the wine list & insures service so every experience a wonderful one. - La Boulangerie
A little slice of France in the Lower Mission. We LOVE this place. Authentic baguettes, great sandwiches, dreamy quiche, mille feuille, croissants, chocolate brioche.... MMmmm! - Laughing Moon Gallery & Restaurant
One of our neighborhood haunts. The menu is eclectic, the decor is funky & we know what to expect. - Le Triskell Creperie
Light buckwheat crepes filled with everything from brie, roasted red peppers, and seafood to chocolate. A real treat & a very good deal. - Mahdinas
- More to Come...
- Ozeki
Our pick for the best sushi in Kelowna. - Ricardo's Mediterranean Restaurant
Eating at Ricardo's is like eating at a good friend's home. A good friend who can cook! Tucked away in Lake Country (turn at the big boat off of 97) Sue and Ricardo serve up some of the best Italian comfort food I've enjoyed. A table with the oversized and cushy chairs is a must. - Siam Orchid
Simply the best Thai food in Kelowna. The chef and co-owner is from Thailand & knows her way around the kitchen. Lucky for us. - Spoonstruck
Zu & Angela serve up some tasty curries & delish desserts in this urban little cafe on Kelowna's quiet Tutt Street - The Grateful Fed
We love this funky deli/cafe and owner Kamel who serves up the best smoked meat outside of Montreal. His Turkey Club is simply the best in town and even if you're new to the Fed, you'll feel welcome in no time. - The Ridge Restaurant ~ KLO
- Waterfront Wines
An urban wine bar that makes us locals feel like we're in the big city again! Fun food, great wines & cocktails, funky decor & very good service. It's fast becoming a favourite hangout of ours.
South Okanagan & Naramata Eats
- Vanilla Pod
Inventive & delicious food & an urban chic setting in the heart of Summerland - Theo's Restaurant
I wish Penticton was closer! I've only been to Theo's when it's packed. But I hear a full house is the norm. Theo's is lively, fresh & savoury -- just about everything a good Greek restaurant should be. - Salty's Beach House
I haven't been to this Penticton favourite yet but I hear good things... - Naramata Heritage Inn
