Dining Options for the Whole Family in Penticton
Having plenty of food choices is important when you’re travelling with family and Penticton has an amazing selection of dining options, to suit even the pickiest eaters!
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so check out The Bench Market or Petrasek Bakery and start your day right. The Bench Market offers offers all-day breakfast, weekend brunch, lunch, baked goods, and takeaway meals, along with the best coffee in town, made using Summerland-roasted organic beans. Petrasek Bakery is an artisan European bakery where everything is traditionally handcrafted and made from scratch. They use local ingredients for their products to support the community.
A few lunch choices include Brodo Kitchen, Sushi Genki or Match Eatery. Brodo Kitchen features simply fresh food. Enjoy a soup flight, fresh salad, a “sammie” or a combination of all three. Sushi Genki serves Japanese cooked fare, ramen noodles & creative sushi rolls. Match Eatery & Public House, located at the Cascades Casino, offers the social traditions of a neighborhood pub, with the high-energy of a lively sports bar, and they do offer a kids menu.
For dinner, try Villa Rosa Ristorante, Theos’ Restaurant or a local brewery. Villa Rosa Ristorante Italiano opened its doors in the spring of 1996, offering consistently great food, using local vegetables and ingredients in their dishes. Theo’s Restaurant offers authentic Greek dishes, especially from Crete, that feature the flavour and qualities of the ingredients themselves. Everything that they serve, they make in their own kitchen. We now have 8 local breweries in Penticton, offering a fantastic selection of locally crafted beers and a variety of menus, all of which allow you to have the kids and even your four legged friends in tow.
