Shopping
Nestled in the heart of Kelowna, Orchard Park Shopping Centre stands as a vibrant retail hub that has been delighting shoppers since 1971. This expansive, single-level mall boasts over 170 stores featuring popular chains like Hudson's Bay, Aritzia, and Sephora. After indulging in some retail therapy, visitors can recharge at the bustling food court offering a variety of delicious options such as A&W and Edo Japan.
Went shopping for a couple hours after enjoying a coffee at Starbucks. Neat clean friendly interactions good way to kill some time or get in your daily people watching time. Parking lot can be it's own source of entertainment sometimes as well. I'm sure next time I'm in town I'll stop again

We visited Orchard Park Shopping Centre, and it’s truly one of the best malls in the Okanagan! The place is spacious, clean, and has a great mix of stores — from popular brands to local shops. There’s something for everyone here, whether you’re shopping for clothes, shoes, or gifts.
The layout is easy to navigate, and the mall feels bright and welcoming. The food court also has plenty of options, perfect for taking a break between shopping. We especially appreciated how helpful and friendly the staff were in different stores — it really made our shopping day enjoyable and stress-free.
Parking was convenient, and the area felt safe and well-maintained. It’s a great spot for family outings, date days, or even just grabbing a coffee and strolling around.
If you’re in Kelowna and love shopping, Orchard Park Shopping Centre is definitely the place to go! 🛒✨
My wife and I visited this mall and were very pleased with the selection of stores. The mall felt open and inviting with plenty of sitting areas. There is ample parking outside with easy access.
I wouldn't have even given this mall one star. However, because I have to I will but note that you need to be a perfect parent and never forget your stroller because they don't rent out anything. So I drove 2 hours from Kamloops BC to take my kids school shopping and I can't even contain the baby so we will go spend our money in Vernon.
Clean mall, decent stores although could use some more brands there kinda old and boring. If some newer shops that are more popular could come in then would be great like - dynamite, tna, Victoria secret. The hours are kinda disappointing they close at 6pm everyday except Thursday and Friday which is till closing at 8pm which is really inconvenient it’s super early especially if you work later or are busy during the day you have no time to go or have to rush in. Considering that even on the weekends they close earlier which are days more people are off work and would want to go out or if tourists come to visit. Some shops and even food places like tacobell inside the mall start closing down even at 530. This is so inconvenient considering it’s around dinner time.
I lived in Kelowna for 40 years and this was always a great mall. After six years away, I’m disappointed in the renovation. It’s a characterless white void. It’s hard to tell where you even are, cause it’s all the same bland whiteness. And directories are few and far between. There is minimal signage too. I was just looking for Shoppers Drugmart and the tiny signs did not mention it anywhere. Guest services is located down a lonely, blank hallway instead of in the middle of the action where it belongs to be accessible to shoppers with questions.
The worst part is they have taken away most of the seating! It used to be a warm, welcoming community hub, but now it’s stark and cold. Where are all the bored dads, husband and boyfriends supposed to wait? Where are families and friends groups supposed to gather? Where am I supposed to sit to eat my ice cream or drink my bubble tea? If I was able to sit and rest for a bit, I could have shopped a lot more.
What a terrible design for a mall. I gave three stars because many of the same great merchants are there and people are giving good service.
Lost a very dear necklace at the mall, pretty sad about it since I cant replace it not much of monetary value as it's huge sentimental. Posting a Pic just in case I get lucky and some stranger sees this and decides to not do the old "finders keepers" thing. Otherwise very decent mall with good stores and plenty merch for all ages. 🤞
Some favs like Lush and H&M.
Over 160 retailers and services. Orchard Park is the largest enclosed shopping centre between Calgary and Vancouver—with over 700,000 square feet, including anchors such as Sport Chek, Shoppers Drug Mart, Indigo, Old Navy, Mark’s, Leons and Best Buy. Orchard Park is home to a wonderful mix of local and national retailers such as Caposhie, Aritzia, Sephora, Man + Woman, Rip Curl, Urban Planet, Bath & Body Works, The Body Shop, Pandora and more

Mission Creek Regional Park is a picturesque destination with creekside trails, picnic areas, and a large playground for kids. The park also features an indoor Environment Educational Center (EECO) and offers the opportunity to witness Kokanee salmon spawning in late September to early October. With over 12 kilometers of pathways, including 3 kilometers along Mission Creek, visitors can enjoy ample covered picnic areas and washrooms while exploring the natural beauty.
Beautifully well maintained open parkland with many paths. Lovely for walking in the summer and winter. Always respect the signs.
Peter S — Google review
Great place. Lots of trails . Beautiful clean peaceful creek lots of trees. Benches, picnic tables. Great playground for kids. Washroom. Lots of parking. We took the turtle pond trail. Partial shady path. Nice walk to the pond about 10-15 minutes.
Love coming here with the kids. Great for if they need to burn off energy at the park or even going for a long hike through the Greenway and trails is relaxing. You can also see some really cool wildlife if you aren't too loud
Congratulation goes again to the city of Kelowna in maintaining intake this unique gigantic park. Trails with no end and a little pound deep inside the forest where painted turtles sun bathe. Play area for kids and amenities by the large parking lot with plenty of reserved stalls for people with disability. It is stunning. It flows well where people come to get fit and play
Awesome short hike with the fresh snow this morning. Definitely needed spikes as many icy areas. Beautiful kids fishing pond and easy to loop around the park with only a few small hills.
The park is filled with walking and pedal biking trails. Plus it has a magnificent play area for kids. There are a few picnic tables and benches here and there to have a picnic, to sit and people watch, there is a lot of dog walking. A little hike and you can reach the turtle & frog pond.
There is swings, and a rope climbing structure for the bigger kids to climb.
The is a river that runs threw the park for the salmon run and we’re the salmon lay there eggs. The washrooms are very clean and maintained. It really is a beautiful park.
Nice park with decent swings for kids ranging from the age of 3 years to 12 years. There is a flat walking trail there that is really good and can be rated as a beginner level hike( very easy and wide trail where you can ride the strollers with small kids). This spot is in the middle of 14 kilometre trail, so you can park you car here and walk either east or west to reach the start or end of the trail.
Well kept park and trail. Great for walking, running or biking. Once you get out of the more child friendly area and up towards Hollywood South and the bike skills park, there isn't much shade. Bring a hat. Purple still pan for gold along the river.

Flea & Street Markets
The Kelowna Farmers' and Crafters' Market is a bustling market open year-round, featuring a diverse selection of farm-fresh produce, locally made goods, and artisanal products. You can visit the market on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8 am to 1 pm until October. It's an excellent opportunity to connect with local producers and farmers while enjoying the freshest food options available.
Our first time visiting from Alberta and we were seriously impressed! The vibes at the Kelowna Farmers’ and Crafters’ Market were awesome—such a fun and welcoming atmosphere. Tons of great vendors with everything from handmade goods to fresh produce.
Free parking nearby made it super easy, and there were lots of food options to keep everyone happy. We especially loved the coffee and kombucha vendors—definitely a standout! Can’t wait to come back next time we’re in town.
Davin G — Google review
We were glad that we managed to squeeze a visit to this market before driving to Vancouver. There were many interesting stalls and would have really liked to have spent more time here. This market really showcased a lot of the local produced and the vegetables and fruits sold were so fresh. The stall owners were all so friendly as well.
Me and my wife visited the Kelowna Farmers’ and Crafters’ Market and had a great time exploring the stalls. We picked up some farm-fresh berries for just $5, which were super sweet and delicious. Also bought homemade jams and some handcrafted jewellery – a bit on the expensive side, but you can really see the effort and quality behind the products.
One tip: it’s always good to carry some cash, as not every vendor accepts cards. Overall, it’s a lovely spot to support local farmers and artisans. Totally recommend checking it out!
I don't understand why the farmer's market in Kelowna is expensive. When you go to other countries, farmers' markets without distribution systems are usually cheap, but there is nothing to buy here. Expensive vegetables, flowers, and bread.. I want to meet them at a more reasonable price.
Kelowna Farmers Market has lots of options and a lively atmosphere, but I missed the local pastries and home-baked goods. For more of a community feel, I prefer the Peachland Farmers Market
The crafters market is open Wednesday and Saturday although Saturday is a bigger market. There are so many things to see and do at the market. There's food trucks, jewelry, plenty of art, bakery items and fresh fruit and veggies. Also there are flowers galore!!
Love to come here, so many unique vendors all local. Lots of great stuff
This is definitely one of the “must go” items if you live or visit Kelowna. Since it moved to the new location at Landmarks area, it brought in more farmers and guests to spend together a great Saturday morning. Right now (October) is a great time to catch it up, just before the market will be moved indoor when it is getting too cold. Let’s go 😂

My daughter and I walked in, and wow.
This was our first time and we must have looked a wee bit lost, but Crystal welcomed us as gave us a quick "menu-tour" and we stepped aside to decide.
A lively, invigorating, dynamic, vibrant ambience.
Amazing tasty, yummy, fresh food. The House Caesar Salad was the best I have had in many years.
Exemplary customer service, simply the BEST Soup & Sandwich Shop in and beyond town.
Maggie B — Google review
Better than many similar joints in Vancouver. Homey, old school atmosphere with the food offerings to match. Recommended for when you want to dine on Canadian basics.
Loved this family run eatery. Indoor and outdoor dining. Staff are incredibly friendly. I love their scones (tea biscuits - I buy extra and put them in the freezer) Home made soups look delicious and the smells coming from their little kitchen full of busy cooks smell amazing.
Little Hobo Soup & Sandwich Shop – A Kelowna Classic!
Tucked right in the heart of downtown Kelowna, Little Hobo feels like stepping back into a simpler, warmer time. The décor has that perfectly old-school charm — the kind that tells you this place has stories, laughter, and a lot of soup behind it (since 1975!).
Every meal comes with those little touches that make you smile — a handful of chips, a slice of fruit, a glass of water waiting for you before you even ask. It’s not fancy, it’s familiar — and that’s the magic.
Their soups are the real stars — original recipes that taste like home in a bowl. You can tell they’ve been doing this for decades, and there’s a reason locals keep coming back. It’s the kind of place where everyone seems to know each other’s names, or at least their usual order.
If you’re ever downtown and craving comfort, warmth, and a dose of old-fashioned hospitality, Little Hobo Soup & Sandwich Shop is exactly where you should be.
This is a classic lunch stop in Kelowna. Crystal and her team are fantastic. She remembers my name and I go months without seeing her. They have alternating soups of the day. They also offer soup flights. She usually serves 4 types of soup and a sandwich feature and a lunch special. I love the veggie sandwich. She also has a lot of options for dietary restrictions and many gluten free options. It’s a nice warm place to feel important and have the most delicious lunch. Be sure to try her classic hobo soup. You can also purchase large format soups to go that are frozen to be enjoyed at home. Great value and comfort food!
Rainy day in Kelowna. Craved some soup and sandwich. Happened upon this place and so glad we did. This place has heart and you can tell from the moment you walk in. I was very happy to see all the veggie options. Ordered myself the most delicious borscht. The Avacado lettuce tomato sandwich was simple and refreshing.
There truly is not enough banger soup and sandwich cafes like this in the world. So glad this place exists and so glad I stopped here. Will have to make it a regular thing now when I’m in town!
Loved this place! The soup was amazing, the people were very kind, prices were great, and the portions were mug-sized and satisfying.
Crystal was amazing with our little one! Stopped in for lunch and Crystal brought him over all the different soups to taste test! He was thrilled! The experience was great and we will continue to support our favourite sandwich shop ❤️

Nice local spot for ice cream in downtown Kelowna. They bake their waffle cones fresh in-store, which adds a nice touch and smells amazing. Good variety of handmade ice cream flavours, including several dairy-free options. It can get busy, especially on warm days, but the service is efficient and friendly. A pleasant stop if you’re exploring the area.
Anastasiya L — Google review
Such a cute and quaint spot for those looking for amazing tasting ice cream with such a wide range of flavour options! My friends and I had the Cookie Monster and Blueberry Cheesecake and I would 100% order those flavours again. Highly recommend!
The only star off is only because there was some inconsistency with the texture and my ice cream was a bit hardened.
Great place to grab ice cream while in park. Just wish they had more egg free options.
Vegan ice cream was all right but could taste better.
There is a area outside for kids to play and that was amazing.
Overall I will say give them a try.
Line up out the door but it is worth it !
They have many flavour selections and any that I’ve tried are amazing.
$6 for one scoop ( huge ) , $8 for 2.
+1 for a waffle cone. I had a waffle bowl with tiramisu and it was really good , quite sweet like actual tiramisu.
We found this place after our sunset cruise. Little dessert for my beautiful wife on our honeymoon.
🍦 Parlour Ice Cream – Kelowna
Located just a short walk from the dock, this little shop had a huge line, and now we know why—it’s worth the wait!
We each went with one scoop in their freshly made waffle cones, and that was plenty! I had the London Fog, and my wife went with Cookies & Cream. Let me tell you—these were next-level. The London Fog tasted just like sipping on a real cup of tea, rich and smooth. The Cookies & Cream felt like they crumbled the cookies fresh right into the mix. And those cones? They tasted like soft vanilla waffles with a hint of syrupy sweetness. Heaven in every bite.
⭐ Ice Cream: 5/5 – A must-try when you’re in the area!
This ice cream is amazing! The pistachio and whiskey hazelnut flavors are absolutely delicious. The location is very convenient, right in the city center. It’s so popular that there are often long lines, but it’s definitely worth the wait. Highly recommend!
Tbh, not the best I had but was pretty good 😌 cuz this ice-cream shop is next to the lake it is nice to walk with holding a scoop of ice-cream. You can take a cute picture too! I wish I had a time to take more pics. It is located in dt.
I paid $10 for two scoops and pint is $11 so if you can finish pint is way better price! And for the pint you don’t have to wait for long line :)
This ice cream is hands down the best!!! We tried the one in Kelowna and ended up going back every day because it was so good! Honestly every flavor was a hit, even VANILLA. Not a vanilla person but their vanilla is so so good! Now we are back in Alberta and discovered that there is a location in Calgary JACKPOT just drove 2 hours to get ice cream because it is that good! Favourite flavors: Lavender, Pistachio, Ube, and Tiramisu. You will not regret it!

We arrived for happy hour and had a table inside by the window overlooking the lake. Since it was mid afternoon (3pm) we ordered a couple of things off the happy hour menu as well as drinks. If you order drinks, you got chips and some very nice salsa for a quick starter. Our server was super friendly and efficient.

Mother's Day Dinner.
Its been many years since we visited an Earls.
The service was excellent from the hostess to our server Cara and her young helper.
The food looked nicely arranged, but what happened? Decades ago Earls was "The Place to go if you craved delectable Food".
We were seated next to a young buzzed obnoxious loud lacking manners man and his friends. The loud blaring hip hop sounds didn't fit the occasion at least not for our age group.
Thanks to Cara who was kind, attentive the time flew by quickly.
I did love the Tequila Espresso Martini.
Went there tonight for dinner to celebrate my birthday and Lindsay went above and beyond to make it perfect. She's very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. She gave us a complimentary dessert and ensured everything felt special. The entire experience was memorable!
The food was very delicious!!!!
Thank you💗
Marienhel & Aaron
Checked out Earls downtown Kelowna for the first time in a few years. Was pleasantly surprised. The happy hour menu was outstanding. Our server Zack was hands down one of the best servers I’ve ever had. He was so knowledgeable and kind. Really genuine young man with great suggestions. We tried a bit of everything and all the flavours were amazing. Highly recommend the petite steak frites and the corn and avocado dip. Also the friend chicken skewers are delicious. The spicy margaritas were amazing. Will be back very soon. Thanks again
It's been years since I have been in this establishment. I went here after a soccer tournament with my son. We asked to be seated on the rooftop patio. After waiting for about 5 minutes, we were seated up on the patio. I forgot about the beautiful view, and the downtown area of Kelowna has changed since I used to live there. The staff were great, the drinks were cold and the food was delicious. What more could you ask for.
Cole was amazing. Personable, attentive, efficient, and funny! Also very careful with my food allergies. A++++
Definitely made our dining experience top notch. Will come back.
Our group of four friends had one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a long time, thanks entirely to our server, Arika. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and effortlessly professional — but what really stood out was her genuine empathy and intuition.
One of our friends was going through a very difficult time, and without us saying a word, she seemed to pick up on that immediately. She struck the perfect balance between kindness, attentiveness, and giving us space to connect. Her timing, tone, and thoughtful gestures made an ordinary lunch feel truly special and comforting.
The service was seamless — drinks and food arrived perfectly timed, and she made sure every detail was spot on. But it was her human touch that made this meal memorable.
We left feeling uplifted and grateful — not just for the food, but for the experience. Earls hit the jackpot with Arika.
We came to Earls for a special Girls Night Out. Not only were the beverages and food fantastic, but the service was above and beyond. Arica (sp?) was the best server we have EVER had! She catered to our every need (and what we didn’t realize we needed! 🤣) and was incredibly attentive. Her friendly personality and sense of humour elevated our entire experience. What a breath of fresh air she was! Thank you Arica! We will definitely be returning to Earls as soon and as often as possible!

Visited on the Canada Day, loved the food recommended by the server. Photos attached below.
Visited again 3 days later, ordered pesto pasta, soup ,market poutine, brownie and coffee.
Market poutine and brownie tasted average although was expecting them to be as delicious as the other items we had.
Our first proper vegan meal visiting the lovely city of Kelowna, BC for the VegFest Kelowna event the next day.
It was our pleasure to meet so many amazing people at their weekly meetup (every Saturday after 5pm .. attendees receive 20% off food items). Most everyone at that meetup were dedicated VegFest volunteers, giving of their time and energy to contribute to making the event a great success. We are admittedly, but lowly groupies .. just following and attending the event at all three of their showings in the BC area this year (Nanaimo, Victoria (which I still have to post pictures of ...) and now Kelowna (which I'll also have to post pictures of lol)
The dishes we had at Naked Cafe were spectacular, and I don't use that word lightly, with an incredible amount of flavor and depth in in every bite! They also have an incredible variety of items, brunch, dinner, lattes, adult beverages, pizza, and so much more!
Whenever you make it out to Kelowna, the Naked Cafe needs to be on your list of top places to visit.
Treated my vegan bestfriend on her birthday.
My hunny & I aren't vegan, but ....we do love good food!
Naked Cafe did not disappoint.
Very nice atmosphere.
Really nice server.
We all had different lattes and they looked and tasted great!
Chicken strips were delicious even though they weren't chicken.
Great fries.
And oh, the Thanksgiving Bowl. 🤗😛
💜💜💜
Wish I had a second stomach for some of the desserts and baked goods!
We will be back.
Food came out really fast, ordered sticky tofu bowl and green citrus tea. The bowl was quite spicy and a bit pricey for what you get. The tea was from Higgins & Burke.
Visited on a Monday afternoon it wasn’t that busy and the staff were nice.
My go to spot for delicious vegan eats when I'm passing thru Kelowna. Made it for the brunch and had a fantastic eggs Benedict. I'm not sure where they got those egg substitutes but they were quite tasty with authentic yolks.
went here for a lunch + study situation on a weekday. our server (i think cole) was really attentive and nice! he gave us a bunch of suggestions which were great!
absolutely loved the taco pizza. mushroom tacos were a close second but not quite there for me, we also called for some calamari which was really good but our least favourite from the lost fs. A vegan eaters dream and my friend who is a hardcore carnivore said and I quote "if i get food like this everyday, i wont even feel the need for meat" and if that doesn't convince you idk what will! a 10/10 recommended.
What a fun a unique place! Went for brunch with my son and his GF who is a vegan and gluten-sensitive. We had a great meal and some excellent coffees. I don’t mind vegan food and find that many vegan restaurants do a great job of making culinary creations that you’re hard pressed to tell are plant-based. I will say that the only concession I don’t like to make when I eat at a vegan place is the dairy-free options for my coffee but Naked Cafe has a thicker cream-like soy cream that actually feels like regular cream so my Canadiano wasn’t all watered down!
Our meals were very tasty and filling. My son had a nacho-chip crusted burger with their house salad and his GF and I both had their Bacon and Broccolini hash. So good! I’d been there once before on my last visit and had their cauliflower tacos which were also quite delicious. This place does vegan food right. When non-vegans enjoy the food too, you know you’re a success!

Vegetarian restaurant
Frankie We Salute You! is a trendy and spacious restaurant with an industrial atmosphere that offers an innovative vegetarian menu, along with cocktails and desserts. Located in Kelowna, this vegan fine-dining establishment prioritizes family and locally sourced produce. The Okanagan Valley's abundant farms and vineyards supply organic ingredients to the region's eateries, including Frankie We Salute You!.
While visiting my son and his gf in Kelowna we decide to go for dinner. Being a vegan and gluten intolerant, my son’s gf is limited to places she can go and enjoy a great meal. So after a quick Google search we happened on Frankie We Salute You! And decided to go there. The menu offers a nice variety of plant-based foods creatively designed to appeal to anyone. And most are available with a gluten free option.
I got there a bit early so I started with a lager and some of their Parmesan popcorn to munch on til everyone arrived. Once e they showed up and we looked over the menu, my son and I both decided to order the Cauliflower Mac n Cheese and added Chorizo to them. Our resident vegan went with their Avocado Power Bowl. They both enjoyed some Hibiscus Iced Tea.
After our meal, my son and his gf decided to split a dessert and ordered a temptingly delicious looking Key Lime Pie! They inhaled it despite being pretty full so it was obviously very good
The food was delicious and satisfying and the abundance of flavour and creativity of using plant-based foods to create such dishes is impressive! If you’re a vegetarian or vegan (or even if you’re not - like me) this place will not disappoint!

OMG! This place should be on your must-visit list! I took myself out on a date here and had an amazing time. The staff is super friendly, the vibe is chill, and the diversity creates such an awesome atmosphere. The food? 12/10. I even did a little happy dance while eating! I can’t wait to come back and try another beautiful meal. Thank you for speaking my love language. 💕
Frankie We Salute You never disappoints! It has been a consistent favourite restaurant of mine for years now. My vegan friends love it, but my non-vegan friends love it just as much.
They are so creative with their dishes (who knew eating healthy could taste so good??) and they rotate their menu seasonally.
The cauliflower wings on Wednesday nights are a highlight for me.
Great food and friendly service! Read up their good reviews before our visit and the food did not disappoint. The burger was super yummy with the mushroom patty. Everhthing we ordered tasted great, everyone in our group enjoyed their food. My kid has nuts allergy and they even have a clear allergy guide to their menu items which was super helpful to see what we could order for my kid and anything that could be substituted.
Every single item of every single dish was perfect. We had mushroom burgers, chickpea fries, charred cauliflower, mushroom tacos, some cocktails and lemonades and key lime pie cheesecake.
Rating this a 10/10 is the easiest thing to do. I wish them all the success and though I would love for them to open more locations, I also love the novelty and uniqueness of a standalone location. It’s one of the best (very close to the best) vegan restaurants I’ve dined at!!!
Last minute decisions got us into Frankie's, not realizing it was a Vegan restaurant. What was in reality a mistake, we sure got a gratifying surprise. Our server was very knowledgable and did verify the fact it was a Vegan Restaurant.
Frankly, (no pun intended) I chose the place because I love the name.
We got over the initial "Vegan" shock pretty quickly and started out with a savoury drink. The Raspberry Beret created a fuzzy warm feeling.
Each of us selected a different meal. We all loved the garden fresh food, the ingredients were healthy, delicious and unforgettable.
However, my husband had the Chorizo bowl, and as "meat" lovers there is no way to replace that Mexican "beef".
The service was excellent, there is only one thing I personally didn't enjoy, the tiny we black bugs around our table, on our glasses etc, it could be the table were we sat which was facing the wall.
Thank you to the server who introduced us to Frankie We Salute You.
For all you Vegans out there, don't miss this one, the food is as fresh as the creative way they serve it.
This is an amazing place! If you’re looking to try something new and want to avoid the crowds in downtown, this spot is a must-visit. I’d rate it 10/10 for ambiance, taste, and service. They offer a variety of vegan options, making it a great choice for lunch dates. Highly recommend it for its exceptional taste!
Visited a couple of times now when in Kelowna from out of town and it's one of my favorites. The dishes taste so fresh and flavourful. The cheeseburger is incredible and the lunch special is such a good deal. Will definitely keep returning when we're in town to try more of the menu.

Chef Rod Butters is renowned in the valley's food scene and his creations showcase fun, artistic presentation paired with clean flavors. The menu features a diverse selection of unique dishes that highlight the region's offerings.
I am not easy to please at all. This has to be one of the best restaurants I have ever ate at. Our server was knowledgeable and did such an amazing job at describing the plates. We had the Brie appetizer to start, the Arctic Char and Ribeye for our entrees. They brought out a nice birthday dessert at the end. They also make their own delicious lollipops. If you’re looking for a delicious upscale restaurant, this is a must in Kelowna! Thank you for making our dining experience one to remember!

A hidden gem downtown Kelowna!
My fiance and I went for our second anniversary and we were completely blown away We were there for about 15 minutes and already talking about coming back.
I had steak and she had salmon burger and both were amazing. The steak was perfectly cooked and both plates had delicious crispy veggies. They had tasty mocktails and the service was absolutely perfect. Our server asked if we were there for an occasion, we told her yes our anniversary. After dinner was done we had no room for dessert so we declined the dessert menu. Short thereafter she came out with a wonderful little dessert with "happy anniversary" written in chocolate. Fantastic!
Fully recommend!!
My wife and I come here to celebrate our anniversary each year and it never disappoints.
The service is extremely wonderful, attentive, that is supported by a unique and vibrant atmosphere.
Will always return to celebrate and enjoy the delicious food that always exceeds expectations each time we visit.
Thank you for making our anniversary so much more special!
This place lives up to all the hype. This restraunt was recommended by a colleague for my one year wedding anniversary.
The food was spectacular. I got their halibut, which is a seasonal dish, and their crab cappuccino to start. My wife got the brisket and chuck burger, as well as the aged focaccia. All the food was absolutely amazing.
The only thing that wasn't up to the standard of everything else was that I had mentioned several times it was our 1 year wedding anniversary, and no one had congratulated me or my wife. A 'happy anniversary' from the server would have sufficed. Not that it changes it from a 4 to star, but the little things go a long way.
I'd recommend this for a fancy meal. Keep in mind what I ordered, + 2 drinks, was 180 dollars.
We came here for valentines dinner and we had an awesome time! Great atmosphere and services. Everyone was very friendly! The food was really good too. We enjoyed all of it. The steaks were very tender and grilled to perfection. Gnocchi was good as a starter but I think I wouldn’t order it as main. The bread was also a good starter. Overall, we had a good time and will definitely come back!
First time here. Definitely, a more laid back environment than i expected.
We tried several dishes - everything had great presentation. The flavouring was a bit hit and miss for me. The sides that came with each entree are often better than the main. Overall 4/5 for the taste of the food.
Friendly service.
Update 07/07/23: still one of my favorite restaurants in Kelowna.
One of the best restaurants, and my favorite restaurant in Kelowna. Well balanced and unique food, along with a great ambience. Definitely worth in both portion and price.
I would highly recommend the pork loin. The BBQ sauce is superb and a perfect accompaniment to the pork loin. And it's topped with the most perfect bacon-wrapped scallop.
We also had the seasonal menu main - the sablefish shrimp mousseline. Although super tasty, I found the dish a bit too heavy and rich....and was looking for something acidic to balance the dish. Also the shrimp mousse was a bit meagre...and would have liked to taste a bit more of the mousse.
Overall, an amazing restaurant and am looking forward to the next visit!
Raudz is a casual spot that really knows how to impress. I love that they have a monthly rotational menu that keeps things fresh and exciting. It's farm-to-table goodness at its finest.
Let's talk about their fruit puree martini. Wow, just wow. It's seriously amazing. The flavors are perfectly balanced, and it's like sipping on a fruity dessert with a delightful boozy twist. Highly recommend giving it a try.
But what really sets Raudz apart is their commitment to being green. They've got sustainable practices down pat. From sourcing locally grown ingredients to minimizing waste and using eco-friendly packaging, they're doing their part to take care of the planet. Gotta appreciate that.
The vibe at Raudz is cozy and inviting. The staff is friendly and always happy to help. No snooty attitudes here. They make you feel right at home.
Now, onto the food. The monthly rotational menu keeps things interesting, and you know you're in for a treat. I recently tried their pan fried halibut with clams and it was comfort heaven. Fresh halibut, local and flavorful veggies, and an amazing sauce—it hit the spot.
Came to visit from Vancouver and gotta say, it was worth the visit.
