Like the California wine regions, Okanagan has attracted gourmands, and the restaurants reflect that. They also benefit from the amazing fruit harvest here. From summer to fall, every month reaps a harvest of different fruits, from cherries and plums to nectarines, peaches, and several varieties of apples.
With amazing views overlooking Okanagan Lake, Home Block, the restaurant located inside Cedar Creek Estate Winery, serves a locally inspired menu alongside limited-edition wines. The menu is always changing, but past favorites include crispy artichokes with mushrooms or sockeye salmon with charred asparagus. In the summer, snag a seat on the amazing outdoor terrace.
Rod Butters, one of BC's best-known chefs, created this contemporary eatery to deliver a culinarily interesting yet casual dining experience. The restaurant's interior is simple, with an open kitchen, a 21-foot communal table, and exposed brick and beams revealing the historic building's architectural roots. The kitchen emphasizes seasonal, locally sourced fare and is not afraid to offer cheeseburgers (topped with artisanal cheddar or blue) alongside more innovative dishes. Look for the carrot-poached lingcod or the braised bison brisket with Okanagan kimchi. If you're into desserts, the "liquid" variety are worth your consideration; a favorite is peach cobbler (bourbon, peaches and cream, and cinnamon). P.S.: The name is pronounced "Rod's."
On a lovely terrace looking out over the vineyards at Nk'Mip Cellars, this restaurant offers shady respite from the desert heat. The menu includes salads, cheese plates, and other light meals, and dishes sometimes feature Indigenous influences, such as wild salmon or bison steak. Like many winery dining rooms, this one is outdoors and closes when the weather turns. Although it's primarily a place for lunch, it serves dinner on Friday and Saturday evenings in July and August.
