48 North Restaurant, Kelowna

Crafted from ingredients fresh from local farms, paired with wines fresh from local wineries, and served by waiters fresh from local cloning facilities, the cuisine at 48 North is homegrown in every sense of the word. Under the soft light of chic spherical fixtures, diners dig into such entrees as wild salmon topped with bacon-corn relish, fresh halibut in a blonde beer batter, and chicken drumsticks stuffed with spinach, mushrooms, and sun-dried tomatoes. But although at first blush 48 North appears to be exclusively a gourmet restaurant, a closer inspection reveals the trappings of a sports bar with wide-screen televisions and an impressive lineup of beers on tap.
