I love that you can order half orders here and share with everyone at the table. Whether you sit inside or outside, you'll enjoy the ambiance of this restaurant. They have a good selection of italian and french inspired menu items and a good wine list to choose from.

Good coffee and food. The staff is great and the drinks are consistent. I love my coffee and have become accustomed to drinking it a certain way which I can only really find in bigger cities, so what I get there that I love is their iced mochas. They are strong and chocolatey, and always taste the same. If I need a hot coffee, I'll either get the mocha or an americano in the small size. If you want to be somewhere busy and have a quick breakfast or lunch I would definitely go here, love the atmosphere!

Very good food, either eat in, take out or order delivery. The spice levels are great as they don't seem to cater to western spice levels. So if you really don't like too spicy, be clear about that.

The location and setting are beautiful. We have loved our experiences sitting on the patio taking in the view. I recommend reservations or going and sitting on the patio as the dining room is quite small and will likely fill up. We have generally had appies or shared meals on a leisurely night which is what I would recommend.

Parks & Nature
Perfect for nature enthusiasts and anyone else who wants to take a walk along the lake. The best part is the sand spit, you can walk pretty far out into the lake - but watch out for boats!

This is the main beach in Osoyoos. There is a nice walking path in either direction. There is a band shell which hosts live music and family friendly events many nights. We love to right our bikes over, have a picnic for dinner while taking in live music or taking in the views. There is a concession stand there which serves a variety of food and drinks that are quite good.

This is located next to Sage Beach and has a nice walking path that actually takes you all the way to the side of Spirit Ridge RV park ( I don't believe there is access from there but for reference). It's a beautifully manicured park and is somewhere to take some nice photos, do some yoga, play bocce ball or just sit on one of the many park benches to take in the views.

Drinks & Nightlife
This is a great spot to get a beachside drink and have a bite to eat. They have the best spot to watch live music if you can make one of their live shows. You really feel like you are on vacation at the Cantina. We recommend riding your bike there so you can have a couple of drinks. Just don't forget your bike lock as you can't bring them inside with you.

Go here for a unique tasting experience, or to become a better wine taster by signing up for one of the Vinstitute work shops on site. The wine is delicious, and has an interesting story, the wine room is modern, clean and open. The staff are very knowledgable and you almost always walk away learning something new about wine and wine tasting with each visit. Based on that I find my favourite wines often change. it's usually an experience going here and we bring all of our visiting friends and family here and recommend everyone stop by. It doesn't look like much on the outside but it's sure worth going in!
