CASUAL EATERIES

CAMPO MARINA CAFE AND RESTAURANT
Campo Marina Café and Restaurant proves that nothing beats quality food made from scratch.
This Osoyoos restaurant is wildly popular for its freshly baked breads and traditional recipes inherited from the owner’s “Mamma Rubie”, who came from a small Mediterranean town in southern Italy. Locals resoundingly agree, Campo Marina is undeniably the best restaurant in Osoyoos.
The tastes and atmosphere found at Campo Marina will truly transport you to Italy for the evening. The menu is diverse and features steak, seafood, pasta and more. Every dish is fresh and superbly made. We love the Prime Sirloin Beef (served in a mushroom demi glace) and the Cedar Planked Wild Salmon. The leek and spinach Lasagna is also delectable!
The wine list at Campo Marina Cafe and Restaurant is all-encompassing. The restaurant’s wine cellar also includes vintage wines from many renowned, local wineries, such as Black Hills Estate Winery, Burrowing Owl and Desert Hills Estate Winery.

CONVIVIA BISTRO CUISINE
Convivia Bistro Cuisine is owned by a French couple who relocated to Osoyoos from Quebec. After visiting Osoyoos many years ago, Charles Perrutel swore he would one day come back. Now he and his wife enjoy the Osoyoos lifestyle and own Convivia, which serves Italian and French cuisine known to be some of the best food Osoyoos.
The establishment is modest and has a cozy atmosphere. The owners are often found chatting with guests and serving food. It’s hard to tell whether it’s the wood burning pizza oven or their love and passion for the restaurant that makes Convivia so warm and inviting.
To start, we recommend trying the French Onion Soup or Escargots in Garlic. For entrees, there is a large array of pastas to choose from, as well as meat/fish dishes such as fresh salmon, braised veal shank, and pan seared duck breast with balsamic and maple glaze.

UPSCALE DINING

MICA RESTAURANT
Mica Restaurant has one of the most enviable locations in Osoyoos. Perched on a hill, this fine-dining restaurant offers unrivaled views of a beautiful vineyard, Osoyoos Lake, the surrounding mountains and the area’s unique, sage-dotted landscape. For a perfect summer evening, dine on Mica’s huge deck and take in the inspiring, panoramic views.
The interior of Mica Restaurant is as beautiful as the views outside. The contemporary and chic dining room boasts two walls of windowed doors, flooding the room with natural light and inviting the outdoors inside. A stunning, large, wood “common” table serves as the restaurant’s striking, centre piece. The service at Mica Restaurant is professional and friendly.
This establishment also has an on-site winery that produces fantastic wines. For a starter, we recommend the Pacific Scallops or the Bison Meatball Sliders. For a vegetarian entree, the Asparagus Ravioli is a winner! We also recommend the Barbecued Fraser Valley Pork Chop.
