Best fine dining in Kamloops? My official favorite is Cordo Resto + Bar in the Deltas by Marriott hotel lobby hands down! The vibe was very inviting, the staff were extremely catering to our requests, and the bartender has some too notch creativity. This is definitely a spot worth checking out on your visit to Kamloops.
They have the most delicious and creative craft cocktails mixed up by Mixer Maddy - such flavourful concontions using a ton of local fresh ingredients and local spirits. I highly suggest trying the Strawberry Fields made with strawberry gin and rhubarb liqueur, so delicious! Also tried the Flamingo in the Desert and the Tequila Mockingbird. I love trying cocktails that I know are hard to make at home, and all of the cocktails on the menu were with ingredients I don't generally have on hand so was super excited to try all their delicious creations! They also have a really great lineup of local wine from all over the Okanagan, cider from their locals up at Woodward's, local beers to choose from, and obviously a ton of local spirits with a massive list of Gin's to choose from including some of my favs from their local Kamloops distillery Gin Lane Co. I would suggest trying the craft gin flight if your a fan, paired with a bottle of tonic from my fav local tonic supplier, Barker & Quin from Williams Lake who I've actually worked with in the past - loveeee their Marula!
For dinner I had the Campanelle pasta which is hand made pasta from their locals at Sorriso's which is a well known authentic Italian restaurant and Deli in Kamloops. Love how much they support their locals! This pasta was sooo mouth watering, made with basil, garlic, sun dried tomatoes, brandy, and I added some grilled prawns and wow... it was out of this world, probably one of the best pasta dishes I've had in my life!
My partner had the Steakhouse burger and it was hard only taking one bite when he offered a bite... with that double stack of fresh chuck & brisket, bacon jam and smoked cheddar on a brioche bun. Yes please, drooling already! Definitely ate all those fries too! There are so many other dishes I have to try on the menu like the Seoul Beef Bao, Pan-Fried Gnocchi, Smoked Trout Salad and the Gathering Board. Excited to try them out for Breakfast too and get the Banana French Toast, yum! They even have a Patio Hour, yessss, I'll be back for that for sure!
Their menu is innovative and really showcases the region and the ingredients they have to offer. You'll see tons of fresh produce, meat and fish used in their dishes, and a little something for everyone on the menu. read more
