We've known of Helmut's for years, stopping in the Kelowna location to grab stuff on our way back…read moreto the lower mainland. On our way to Tappen with empty stomachs we stopped at their Vernon location for a sandwich. Both craving BLT's the lovely K, thanks to Yelp saw that they had that offering. We pulled in, parked, and entered the store. It's always a treat to go in as the store is well stocked, well lit and always clean. The young man that helped us at the counter was courteous and informed us of the soups that were available that day. Borscht I think might be a staple here, and the other offering was Mulligatawny, which we have made at home. Our soup and sandwiches ordered with the choice of back, or side bacon, we went to the bistro area to await our lunch. Prior to stepping away however our bacon was cut fresh from the side. Who does that? Needless to say our sandwiches and soup were delicious, and from the looks of it we weren't the only ones that have discovered this gem. Another redo while in Kelowna or Vernon? You betcha, and we can't wait!

After lunch we spent about $75 in the deli and had some of the best meats, sausage rolls and pepperoni sticks we've ever had! My only complaint is that they're so far away from where we live! Five BIG stars to Helmut's!

This is THE place to go for decent Seafood in the Interior... SO many delicious options!!…read more Besides the great fresh Seafood on ice, they also have cooked items, and delicious "pizza by the Slice"...and some other delectable "Oven to Plate" dishes!! And if you phone ahead, they will make you a "Fish and Chip" plateful to die for!! Most Sea Food or Fish places in the interior don't understand what "FRESH" Seafood means... you can usually smell the fish before you see it...Most is OLD... flash frozen...

Won't even provide a pair of disposable gloves when asked to attend to a nasty cut. Shameful.read more

During a recent stay in Penticton, the daughter had the opportunity to see and shop at Grimm's…read moreSausage before she returned home. Thanks to her trip, we received a 'sampling' of tasty treats -- liverwurst, weisswurst, and European wieners. The gifted offering was directed primarily to her Mom -- definitely the one who knows, and is able to really savour the distinctive flavours of these kinds of meats. And she sure did. I managed to target the weisswurst, and ensured we enjoyed a meal together with this sausage. It is a sausage favourite of mine, and I really enjoyed their product - creamy in texture, and rather 'lighter' in flavour. I could enjoy that sausage often, and in so many ways. At this time, that included one taste of sweet & savory, open-faced sandwiches -- made with slices of weisswurst sausage on cinnamon rolls -- tried before the sausage was gone. Thanks to A&K Grimms for their well-made, flavourful & tasty sausages, and daughter for catching some for us to taste at home.

Finally made it to Il Vecchio Delicatessen to try one of their sandwiches…read more We dropped in on a Wednesday afternoon (2:00pm). Small lineup but the workers are quick making sandwiches. You can pick any cheese and meat from their list. Menu consists of sandwiches, paninis, salads and tiramisu. Sandwiches are $8.09 to $9.85. $2.99 to make it a lettuce wrap is quite the ripoff. - 2 Meat & 1 cheese ($8.09) - prosciutto san danielle, genoa salami and gouda green pesto. Sandwich came with lettuce, tomato, pickles, sun-fried tomatoes, artichoke, eggplant and pepperoncini. A lot of ingredients, but not a lot of flavour going on. Cash only. Cheap spot to grab a quick bite but light flavours.

It looks like their cold cuts are more than just German ones (European in general) and actually, I found that they are missing a lot of the favorites I grew up eating from Germany. Maybe it was the day I was there? It was a Saturday in the later part of the morning so they may have already been out. There's a bakery next door that also has a lot of great European rolls/breads and even desserts but also mixed in are North American treats as well so as much as this probably started out as an authentic German bakery and deli, it's now turned into a heavily German influenced bakery and deli. Still, for Kelowna, it's a good find for German products. Like many German delis, prices on packaged goods are obviously high as they are imports but where else are you going to find these products anyhow? The place is busy, kept clean, and the staff was helpful. A bit of confusion with the numbering system when we were there, but it happens.
