La Bussola: Exquisite cuisine
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Gillian and I had just come out from the concert about 10:15PM and were looking for a place to eat...but most of the restaurants had closed...except this one.

    The friendly hostess welcomed us hungry travellers and we sat down to some great food, simple but soooo tasty.
    The decor is elegant but not pretentious.

    I had the chicken in herbs and a small Italian salad....splendid!!

    Gillian had a small dish of pasta as an appetizer followed by veal Milanese

    ( See, I got it right!!! )

    Orchard Golf Club Restaurant.: The Location for a great meal and a fantastic View
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • On a clear day sit outside on the deck, enjoy the view over the Okanakan Valley and enjoy some great Canadian food.

    On two accasions now while visiting Kelowna we have driven into the Golf Course and found the parking area, near the Club House. Before you get out of the car there is a golf buggy on its way to drive you the few yards more.

    The great service continues as you are seated and then served a delicious meal, all the while entranced by the view over Kelowna to the far shore of the Okanagan lake.

    I do not have a favourite, chose any entree and I am sure you will enjoy it.

  • Roof Top Patio of Earls on Top - Kelowna
    Roof Top Patio of Earls on Top
    by Ken_Weaver
    Send Photo to a Friend
    Earls on Top is situated across the street from the waterfront park of Kelowna. The restaurant is staffed with delightful young employees that open the door for you, offer complete and prompt service, and get the orders right! The main restaurant is on the second floor and is nicely appointed with white linen and nice stemware. We opted to go to the roof patio which is still shaded but very comfortable.

    I had a Southern BBQ Angus Sirloin Sandwich which was marinated beef sirloin in a BBQ sauce with onion jam and jalapeno jack cheese ,served on foccacia bread. Instead of fries I was allowed to have a Caesar Salad at no extra charge. The Kokanee Beer on Tap was a nice accompaniment to the sandwich.

    Chia Baba Tea House: Don't like coffee?
  • Satisfaction:
  • Tea and lots of it. I may have gotten the exact name wrong but that is the general idea. I think it's the first real tea house in Kelowna and let me tell you, if you don't like coffee, there isn't much else in town. Starbucks and Tim Horton's all the way. Not that I don't like them, but for a good cup of tea this is the place to go and try some.

    DJ's Restaurant: Good Mexican food with flair
  • Satisfaction:
  • We were recommended this Mexican restaurant by a friend. I was instantly impressed by the decor and ambiance. The food was very good and the drinks were great. Service was fantastic. Almost all of us had fajitas and margaritas.

    The fountain by the bathroom entrance was a nice touch.

    DJ's Restaurant Ltd: Mexican Cuisine on the Waterfront
  • Satisfaction:
  • DJ's is located in the Okanagan Grand Hotel building although you enter from Water Street. It has a touch of elegance that you don't often see in "Mexican" restaurants....on pinatas but instead beautiful pottery embedded into a wall overhead....we were fortunate to get a table on the patio where a guitarist was playing..althought it was a very hot evening, there was enough of a breeze to make it delightful.

    Our group started the evening with the special drink of the night- a Strawberry Banana Margarita- very refreshing and well made, served in beautiful stemware with a deep blue rim. We had Baja Tacos...with fish! and that included beans and rice, all very tastefully prepared. My son had a nacho platter which was beautiful presented with all of the accompaniments...sour cream, guacamole, cilantro. The service was good and the employees quite efficient and professional.

    The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, open lunch and dinner, and reservations are requested although were not necessary at 10pm the night we were there.

    DeDutch Pannkoek House: Dutch breakfasts
  • Satisfaction:
  • This is a Dutch-themed breakfast restaurant chain that has several locations around the province. They generally aren't the fanciest of places but provide a casual, family-friendly atmosphere where you can enjoy their famous Dutch pancakes. Dutch pancakes are like crepes - really thin and large enough that they take up the entire plate. They're normally topped with a variety of sweet or savory toppings.

    I've had breakfast at this location twice - in July 2001 and August 2004. Both times there were many families with young children eating here. When you walk in, there's a little gift shop selling all kinds of Dutch souvenirs like clogs, little ceramic figurines of children in traditional Dutch hats, etc. It's a bit hokey but I guess somebody's buying those things!

    The Windmill - one large pannkoek with alternating slices of melted Edam cheese and BC smoked salmon, served with a side of Hollandaise sauce. I wrapped it up like a crepe and poured the sauce over top. It was delicious and hit the spot.

    They also serve fresh squeezed orange juice - the real deal, not the frozen stuff.

    Earls: Best location in town
  • Satisfaction:
  • Earls is a popular chain restaurant in BC. What makes this one so special is the location. Located on the corner of Bernard and Abbott, this restaurant is almost right on the water, overlooking Lake Okanagan. Ask to sit on the rooftop patio and you will get probably the best view in town.

    I like the chicken curry.

    Earls on Top: Million Dollar View
  • Satisfaction:
  • Earls is a franchise restaurant in western Canada. This particular Earls is located on the top floor of a building right on the shoreline of Lake Okanagan. The view alone makes it worthwhile. It was a little windy but there were plexiglass panels to cut down on the breeze. I could have just sipped wine and stared out at the setting sun making the water sparkle. The meal only added to the whole experience. The service was pretty good. Prices tend to be just a little higher at Earls but I thought it was money well spent.

    Honestly, I cannot remember what I ate here. It was good, though, as I enjoyed the meal. It was likely either a salmon or pasta dish. Food at Earls is consistently good no matter what city I'm in. This Earls also has, as you'd expect, an extensive selection of wine from the local Okanagan wineries.

    Freddy's Brewpub: Good beer, quality food.
  • Satisfaction:
  • Beer made onsite that you can enjoy in the pub or in the bowling alley. The head chef, John, makes great curry dishes on Fridays. Large theater complex is right next door so have dinner and a beer, then take in a movie.

    Try any of the curry dishes on Fridays or for a light snack anytime try the Chop Chop Salad.
