Dragon's Lair Specialty Teas - Kelowna, BC


**UPDATE 2013: Dragon's Lair is now an online tea business. You can still find them seasonally at the Westbank and Peachland summer markets.**

I make a quick stop for tea before heading out of Kelowna. I noticed this place when I was here eating at Suko Thai a while back. I read that they had bubble tea and made a mental note to stop in the next time I was in Westbank.

Wood Fire Bakery - Kelowna, BC


The Wood Fire Bakery is conveniently located on the main throughway in Kelowna, on the corner of Harvey Avenue and Barlee Road. I have several stops to make today. When I have to travel anywhere for work reasons I try to get some non work related errands done as well. I often end up trying to cram in way too many “to-do” items on my list.

I feel like I’ve been criss crossing the Bill Bennett Bridge all morning. I hate having to double back. I must’ve passed the Wood Fire Bakery a few times already this morning, before allowing myself a break for a quick lunch. Can anyone say no to Schweinshaxe? Clearly, I can not.

Amerigo’s Nuraghe Italian Cuisine - Kelowna, BC


**UPDATE MARCH 2013: Amerigo's Nuraghe Italian Cuisine has closed. Los Jarros Mexican Restaurant now occupies this space.**

I roll into Kelowna late and hungry. I stop at the first Italian looking restaurant I see: Amerigo’s Nuraghe Italian Cuisine.

Phở Fusion - Vernon, BC


Seriously, phở again? Yeah, seriously phở again. We stop for lunch on our way out of Vernon. It’s early, before noon and Phở Fusion just opened. There are already a few tables occupied when we arrive.
Despite the name, there is not much fusion going on here. The menu is straight up Vietnamese.

Vietnam Village - Kelowna, BC


Phở again? Yes, phở again. I’m curious about beef noodle soup in Kelowna. I’ve been to the Vietnam Village before. Years ago. I can’t remember if it had the same name when I first visited. I have no idea if it is under the same ownership either. It still looks the same.

Moo-Lix Ice Cream Shop - Kelowna, BC


It’s still early in the afternoon, so I deak into Moo-Lix for ice-cream before the weather gets too warm today. Yes, it is possible for the weather to be too warm to enjoy a cone.

Phở Sóc Trăng - Kelowna, BC


Phở again? Yes, phở again. I find myself in Kelowna again, it turns out that my schedule has me doing the same loop I just finished. First Okanagan, then the Coast, and back out to Vancouver Island. I feel like I haven't been home for weeks.

Le Plateau Bistro - Kelowna, BC


**UPDATE January 2013: Sadly Le Plateau Bistro has closed:(***

There’s a farm in Kelowna that sells a vast selection of heirloom seeds for local gardens. Since we have to be out here in the Okanagan for other matters, I thought I’d kill two birds with one stone. There’s not a huge selection of eateries as we blaze our way down to the farm, but there is Le Plateau Bistro.
