    Brodo salad bowl with smoked salmon
    Katie A.

    Great lunch spot! We stopped by for a quick lunch and were blown away by the flavor in their food! I had the Brodo Salad Bowl with smoked salmon. My husband had the smoked salmon Niçoise salad. We also had their soup flight which came in the cutest little mugs. We had a brownie and a pecan treat for dessert. We loved it so much we went back a couple of days later - I got the same salad (craving it) and my husband had one of their sandwich specials of the day and it was AMAZING!! All the other specials were sold out! If they were half as good as the one we had I totally understand! We did the brownie again for dessert - they are so good!!! They have the texture almost of a floor less chocolate cake. The atmosphere was so inviting and there were always people coming in. Great restaurant and the staff was so friendly and nice and knew the menu well! Definitely recommend. We will be back!

    I don't know what the story behind the name Brodo is, but I wouldn't be surprised if it had to do with the camaraderie of the bros in the kitchen. I don't usually comment on inter-staff interactions at restaurants, but I was very pleasantly surprised at the familiarity between all the guys working between the front of house and kitchen. Everyone kept checking in on each other and joking around, and I thought that created a really nice environment. Now for the food - the soup trio/flight is a great choice, especially for those of us who are indecisive and really would like to have one of everything on the menu. I tried the tomato Parmesan soup with a basil sauce, beef chuck and chorizo chili, and a baked potato soup with bacon and scallions. All three were incredible; special shout-out to the last one, which was a feature of the day. I've never had a creamy baked potato soup (which sounds heavy) be so light and delicious. Got a side of cornbread, which was the perfect balance of sweet and savory as well! Prices were also decent, my meal came to about $11. Cafe feel, you order at the front, and all the tables and chairs are wooden/dark concrete, which gives a rustic comfort vibe. I will definitely be back here if I'm ever in Penticton again!

    Cubano sandwich and tomato soup! Delicious but also $17 and I was still hungry after.

    I have very mixed reviews about this restaurant. Some of my thoughts are that this is amazing and other things I really hope they can improve on in the future. Let's start out with the food. I love the food and the concept that it is made with high-quality ingredients, the soup recipes and sandwiches are innovative and healthy, and above all it is extremely flavorful. That being said the portions are very small and the prices are very high. I feel like that should be adjusted a little bit. A sandwich that was smaller than a 6 inch Subway sandwich was $9.50 before tax, and an extremely small cup of soup was around $4.50 before tax. That being said my whole meal came to about $16.50 and I was still hungry afterwards. All of the workers there in the chef included was all very friendly and greeted me warmly. One of the workers walked around asking how the food was which was nice! The way the service works is you basically go up to the counter order your food, and then they call your number and you pick up the food when it's ready done. That being said there is a tip option I'm not sure what I'm tipping for if I'm the one getting my food. I also mentioned to the cashier that this is my first time here and he recommended me some of the most popular dishes which I got, and they were very good! That being said when I got my food and I sat down I was a little confused as to where to get cutlery as the cashier did not direct me as where to get cutlery or napkins myself, even though I said this is my first time. At the end of my visit I also saw that there was a big water jug and cups where customers can help them selves, though again it was a little tucked away and I didn't know about this until after. It would've been nice to have the cashier giving me my food direct me as to where I can get these things or what I should do as a new customer. In summary, the food was very good but way too expensive, and this is basically just a glorified fast food restaurant. For the price I feel that they should at least be delivering it to your table kind of like at the bench market. I definitely think that they have potential to have a more professional feel to the restaurant, and I do hope they make some adjustments! Without these small service adjustments you might as well just go to subway.

    Brodo Kitchen is truly one-of-a-kind! They are professional and their experience is evident in the taste and presentation of their dishes. As wedding industry experts, we are very choosy with who we refer to our couples as vendors and Brodo Kitchen is high on our recommended vendors list. The chef takes so much care in his work, it is very refreshing to see; the food is just AMAZING!

    Soup trio
    Jana S.

    Some of the best soup I've ever had! Great lunch shop! Soup and salad delight! We had a trio of soups, pasta salad special, grilled cheese with ham, cornbread, and more. So darn good. I wished I'd been able to God back during our stay in Penticton, but I'll be back in our trip this May. If you're in town you have to try Chef Paul's food!

    The perfect lunch!

    I was in Penticton for a hockey tournament and stumbled upon this place after looking at yelp. Had an amazing meatball sub, tortilla soup, and smoke salmon potato salad. Over-the-top loved it could not recommend more highly. Some young folks trying real hard and doing a great job!

When ordering Crystal was super friendly introducing her husband and herself and nice and was able to let me know her favorites which we ordered. While waiting for our food she continued this sunshine spirit, walking to tables and checking in and conversing with customers. It was a great sight to see. The food was amazing!! I had the spicy pork bahn mi and my partner had the crispy spicy veggie burger. The pork in the bahn mi was delicious!!! We also really liked the veggie burger as well - a very great homemade patty! We are from out of town and gutted that we won't be able to try their soup before we leave! The next time we are in Kelowna, we are definitely coming again. Thank you Crystal and Staff!

    This summer I had an experience with Little Hobo and the amazing Crystal. I had gone to the…read morerestaurant to get some take away soup, and explained to the counter lady my husband couldn't eat large chunks in soup due to his cancer treatment. She offered to blend it, which was a great solution. I waited, and then when the soup came, she simply said, "It's been taken care of." For anyone who has ever been through cancer or cared for someone who is going through it or a serious illness, you know that feeling of utterly loneliness and overwhelm. Like nobody understands what you are going through, and you just have to keep yourself under control or you will lose it. Well, this act of kindness did me in. I broke down in tears, Crystal, the counter lady -- the human form of kindness and love -- took me outside. She told me that cancer sucks, but it would get better. Well, Crystal, it has gotten better. The soup was amazing, but more importantly that small act of kindness gave me the strength to keep going that day. I will never forget that gesture. I didn't get the chance to go back, which I will always regret. Keep doing what you are doing folks. You do more than make awesome food. Your soup and sandwiches nourish souls as well as bodies.

    I've eaten at Wild Ginger before and had generally enjoyed it, which is why I suggested it when my…read moregirlfriend and I decided to go out for Chinese food on Friday night. Unfortunately, this was easily the worst meal I've had there. I ordered the almond chicken. The portion was generous, with four good-sized pieces, but the coating was extraordinarily hard. Instead of being light and crisp, it was so hard that it was almost like eating hard candy. The chicken itself was dry and tough, and the overall impression was that it had been cooked well in advance and reheated, although I obviously can't say that for certain. My girlfriend ordered the ginger beef. Unfortunately, the beef was also very tough and difficult to eat. It lacked the tenderness I would expect, and the texture was noticeably poor. What made this particularly disappointing was that I had previously had good experiences at Wild Ginger. I remember the vegetables being fresh and nicely steamed, and the food generally being enjoyable. The portions were generous, but portion size doesn't make up for food that is dry, tough, and difficult to eat. I'm leaving this review because I hope the restaurant takes the feedback seriously. I'm not looking to attack the business. I've eaten there before and that is exactly why this experience surprised me. I hope Friday night was an anomaly, because based on my previous experiences, I expected considerably better.

Reading the other reviews, I see I'm not alone in stopping here en route to Penticton (it's a good mid-point for a break). There's a small parking strip on the side of the building. I love supporting smaller shops and cafes, and this particular one is indigenous-owned so it seems extra special! Love the motto, too: "Don't panic..We have bannock!". Cute! The cafe is small but clean, with Indigenous artwork on the walls. Of course we ordered bannock! I ordered a maple one, and my kid ordered a berry one (might've been the Saskatoon berry, I forget). I'll be honest, they were absolutely delicious, and fresh, and fluffy and sweet and glazed, but mine absolutely did NOT have much of a maple taste - like, AT ALL. It was like the glaze on a Krispy Kreme glazed donut. Delicious, yes, and sugary, but not maple-y. My kid's berry one was very subtle in its berry flavor. Again, excellent, but not knock-out berry-y. To me, these treats were similar to donuts without the holes. More like fluffy fritters. Delicious, but not as unique as I thought they'd be. As for the coffees....my maple latte, again, sadly, did not taste at ALL maple-y. But it was an excellent coffee: very smooth and flavorful. You could tell the beans were excellent. There just was no maple taste. But my kid had a berry latte (again, I forget what kind), but this drink was EXCELLENT and it totally DID have a distinct berry flavor to it, and it was wonderful! (We both tried both bannocks and both lattes, and we both agreed on this review). We didn't try the sandwiches but they looked quite good. They also had some cute Kekuli Cafe merch for sale.

    First (and last) visit this year for us…read more Positives - the location and the view are excellent. The wine from next-door Fitzpatrick wines was fantastic. However, the food and service didn't justify the visit. Note, I'm a vegetarian and look at food from the creativity and care put into the offerings. The menu is confusing - Italian Pizza, South Asian Butter Chicken and pakoras, and a Hawaiian Poke Bowl. What type of food does the chef specialize in? The share plate of Tater Tots was actually good. The salad is pre-packaged, and for $22 they won't make you a fresh salad minus the onions. I spent the first 10 minutes of my meal picking out the bits I don't eat. The chef's idea of vegetarian food is to replace protein with tofu. Nothing in the slightest is built around a vegetarian flavour profile. My wife described the tofu poke bowl as "healthy." The food was fine, and some were even good. It just had dull flavours and appeared prepackaged. Hard to justify the expense. Service was up and down. We started strong but fell down after we got our food. The server even tried to pull my plate from under me "Are you done yet" with a hand pulling on my plate while I was still working on the share plates. Awkward and a little yucky. I couldn't get a refill of water and had to flag down another server to help. Ooof. Value for money, I would look elsewhere. Though, you can't beat the view.
