Restaurants in Penticton

On the way back from a trip to Las Vegas, Burger 55's co-owners Chris Boehm and Steve Jones cooked up an idea. Spurred by the belief that "burgers had become far too normal," Chris and Steve decided to open their own joint, a place where diners could create their dream burgers from handmade patties and fresh toppings. Their vision resulted in Burger 55, which makes its home in a renovated 1946 garage. Skilled burgersmiths guide patrons through the appetizing menu, which allows meal-seekers to choose one of the venue's signature creations, craft their own from premium ingredients, or provide guidance to staffers who “freestyle” a unique culinary creation based on the customer's tastes or astrological sign. Six patty options—Angus beef, turkey, portabella mushroom, pork, wild British Columbian salmon, or the market-price burger of the month—form the base of savoury feasts, with eight cheeses and a selection of house-made sauces enhancing flavours. More than 20 available toppings, including roasted garlic, pancetta, and grilled peaches, add to each burger's already staggering height, which is rivaled only by a Tower of Pisa built from gingerbread.

For the award-winning Chef Bruno Terroso, the ebb and flow of seasonal ingredients isn't an issue?it's an inspiration. Chef Terroso regularly changes his menu of tapas-style, shareable plates based on what's in season. Nearly every fruit and vegetable he serves comes from one of five local growers, each one either certified organic or adhering to organic practices. Indeed, produce tends to be celebrated throughout the course of any meal, from the fresh greens and raspberry vinaigrette of an opening salad to the beets and berry coulis brightening up the sockeye salmon. The emphasis on freshness makes sense given the menu?s pan-Mediterranean tendencies, but Terroso also creates daring cultural collisions such as sushi pizza with panko crust and lamb rack chops paired with potato gnocchi. As guests indulge in Chef Terroso's menu, their eyes feast upon the view from Mount Munson through the three-year-old building?s wall of windows. Perched above Penticton on the side of Munson Mountain, The Vanilla Pod offers panoramic views of Okanagan Lake, Skaha Lake, and the city.

Domino’s has been decorating dough canvases with flavourful sauces, an assortment of cheeses, and high-quality toppings that range from classic to unconventional since 1960. Domino’s dough is tossed daily and stretched by human hands, not by clumsy catapults and model airplanes flying in opposite directions. Treat friends to a tasteful feast by checking the online menu and crafting a custom masterpizza with Domino's wide range of ingredients. Famished diners too starved to choose their own toppings can select from Domino’s Feasts, featuring pizzas loaded with a variety of meats and veggies. Pizzas such as the ExtravaganZZa, Hawaiian, or MeatZZa all impart a delicious diversity of tastes. Nonpizza fare includes chicken wings, boneless chicken bites, cheesy bread, twisty bread, garlic bread sticks, and cinnasticks or chocolate lava crunch cakes for dessert.

Staff members fold quesadillas and plate steamy servings of chicken souvlaki from the menu, blending influences from the Mediterranean, Canada, and Latin America. In the background, espresso machines sputter bold brews with coffees from ReSiprocate, an organic, fair-trade company. Glasses chirp together in toasts before the full bar, which is stocked with wines from Wild Goose Vineyard, a British Columbia winery, and preservative-free craft beers from nearby Cannery Brewing. Inside the dining area, strains from occasional live jazz drift across wood tables the colour of melting caramel, and the scents from poutine and gyros drift up toward soaring timber ceilings and agoraphobic kites. Leather couches covered with cushions huddle against the goldenrod walls and hug patrons sipping mugs of coffee.

Since 1978, Bogners of Penticton has sated diners with farm-fresh food served in a century-old Tudor?style house surrounded by tall trees. The world's gone through plenty of changes over the course of those 35 years, but the kitchen's dedication to careful preparation and timeless European delicacies still adheres to the same high standards established on the day the restaurant opened. Kitchen staffers use preservative-free proteins and produce culled from local farms, as well as from the eatery's own private fields and chickens. Though the menu changes with the seasons, diners can be sure Chef Darin Paterson and his staff will let their creativity shine through in scratch-made meals and components, such as fresh-made b?arnaise sauce and signature potato croquettes.
