For…read moresure it's smaller, it's maybe a bit cheaper and more "convivial" but it means also that we liked the shop, the products. They have also some food cooked and ready to eat in a room inside the shop. We ate there everyday and we definitely enjoyed the vegetables very well cooked, with spices, so tasty, the meat was tender and what about the pizza? Very good! We liked the salad (yam, kale, sésame) You can find a lot of gluten free food and deserts as carrot cake, brownies, cookies... So fresh. It's worth it! Friendly staff! Very nice shop!

This is THE place to go for the freshest seafood in the Kootenays. They also have naturally raised beef and chicken. The service is fast and friendly and the staff know what they are talking about.

They also have bulk pack deals for your freezer which I haven't tried yet but they look great and save you money if you have the Freezer space. Go in and support a great local business that provides naturally raised product that is good for you and the local economy.

With a focus on bulk candy and old-timey treats, Pixie stocks a great deal when considering the size of this town. With Save-On and Safeway doling humdrum confections by the ton, it is important to support businesses like this, who take great care in providing the community with unique and fun places to shop. Next time you (or your kids) have the desire for an Australian Cherry Ripe bar or some interesting sugar-free options (ha!), head down to Pixie and buy local.

Nice inviting, cozy, romantic atmosphere. Service was good awful. Nelson has wonderful Bohemian vibes, and among small cities they've got some of the most balanced chakras around. Still, the good vibes seem to inflate the heads of young wait staff, who seem to this old miser a bit aloof in attitude and needing a dose of hustle. You can be friendly and move fast at the same time people. We waited 10 minutes for a greet, 5 for water, another 15 for our order, then a full 25 for the actual food. Whoof.

Many people recommended we try The Cauldron while we were in Nelson…read more The food was amazing; however, we found the service sub-par. We were brought the wrong drinks at first, then they were out of the wine I had ordered. This is not at fault of the staff, I was offered a different wine on the menu, more expensive and was charged the higher price; they should have honored the original price of the wine I initially ordered. The vibe is unique and different, something I always appreciate. Try the burgers, my husband said it's the best he has ever had.

'The Only' bakery is one of 'the only' bakeries I would avoid when scouring the Nelson food scene…read more This place has many things going against it, irrespective of the goods available: it is just down the road from Nelson's coffee mecca Oso Negro, it is run by an old curt Eastern European woman, it is hidden and squeezed into the bottom floor of a residence, and the decor resembles that of a walk-in clinic. The Only is supposed to specialise in bagels, but the selection and presentation were poor. The bagels looked more like Russian bublicks, which are larger than North American bagels and are often oblong. I did not even want to spend $1.50 on one of these bland looking creations, and I think this was a good call after watching the one other customer eating a cheddar bagel. He looked unimpressed, and kind of disturbed. He kept looking at it and poking it, as though contemplating whether it was worth the caloric intake. I did, however, have an americano and a date square...both of which were just below average.
