We've always enjoyed Tapas, or small plates that we can share. This gem of a place was a two minute walk from our hotel, and provided one of the more memorable experiences we have had in a while. It's a fairly small space, most of which centers around the bar, which suits us to a tee. The service was really great, the vibe what we had hoped for, and the food was fantastic. The cocktail selection is varied and fun, if maybe a little pricey. The Pork Mushroom pate with the Crostini was amazing, and something we will try and replicate at home for sure. We also got the blackened Shishito peppers with a verde mayo and lime. We'd not had those peppers before, and they were delicious. The Pumpkin seed pesto Spaetzle and the elk steak went well together as well. Not our first spaetzle as we make it at home quite a bit, but our first exposure to elk, and it was excellent. There are so many choices in downtown, and many new, so it's a battlefield for diners. We'll be back to micro, and suggest you check it out too! read more

Really really good food, although small portions but mind you they are delicious. They also make real cocktails and drinks right in front of you with pizaaazz! I'd highly recommend this! read more

Amazing food, great original dishes with flavour drinks made to perfection service is prompt. Cool small space vibe.

This is a very quaint and small bar with a cute interior and great food. I went after a hike for a quick beer with my partner and his sister. His sister and I tried their dinosour beer and my partner tried the stout. The sour was one of the best sours I have ever had. I loved it! If you are a coffee/stout drinker you will definitely like the stout as well. It was very coffee forward in flavour. We also got some snacks. My partner got the fries with chilli dijonaise, I got their Parmesan loaf with their in-house made sundried tomato butter and his sister got the duck fat popcorn. I loved all the food but was obsessed with their homemade butter. It was sweet and savoury and it was the best flavoured butter I have ever had. If you are around the area, I most definitely recommend you try it out! This place doesn't disappoint. read more

I am so glad my friend showed us this amazing spot for drinks and snacks! We've recently moved to Kelowna and have been on the hunt to find all the best spots in town and this is definitely on the top of the list! The staff are incredible, they're all so nice and funny. And the food and drinks are spectacular. We definitely will be frequenting this amazing spot! read more

Tried to get into Raudz without a reso, by myself, but too long a wait. They suggested their sister restaurant two doors down, Micro. Glad they did. One of the best octopus dishes I ever had. Amazingly tender, crunchy veg, red-veined sorrel(never seen that before...) in a tomato broth. Actually licked the bowl. Delicious. Cute space too read more

Forgot to review this a while ago. I have been here two times and each have been amazing. The drinks and staff are great! However, the food is by far the best! Each plate is like an art piece and the flavours are amazing. If you are visiting Kelowna, this place is a must!! read more

So, while on vacation to Kelowna (yes, in the dead of winter) we happened upon micro. What more can I say than a minuscule menu of delectable goodness and beers on tap that would make any beer snob think they'd died and found heaven. Especially with a pint of gold called "the Backhand of God". If we had a bar/pub. It'd be just like this. But I don't know that it could be more perfect. read more

micro bar * bites - The Backhand of God - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Kelowna, British Columbia

Came here spontaneously after our original dinner plans fell through. We had tried Raudz earlier in the week and knew Micro was under the same management and thought we would give it a go. They only have about 3 outdoor tables, 2 indoor tables and it is mostly a bar. I noticed a lot of people would come by here as a way to pass the time while waiting for their table at Raudz. But we were here for dinner. We sat at the bar, and the service was great. The server was polite, nice and made recommendations to us from the small plate and large plate food menu. We got some beers and ordered the paella gnocchi, soft tacos, jerk lamb ribs and the pork lomo. The star of the show was definitely the paella gnocchi. Everything else was mediocre. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone seeking a place to chill while waiting for a friend or a table elsewhere, but the food didn't wow me enough to come back to eat. But based on the service, I will definitely be back for a drink or two with my girlfriends. read more

This restaurant has a ton of great craft cocktails and delicious appies. The service was attentive and friendly. I got the turkey wings and the French fries. The turkey wings were a little dry but the flavour was great. The French fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The price is on the high end for the size of the portions but it is a great place for date night. read more

4 stars for the cocktails, 2 stars for the food. I will start with the cocktails we had the bourbon bee sting and the Miami 75 both were great very smooth and great flavour. Now the food, overpriced for what you get. The turkey wings were very difficult to eat the meat should have been more tender but the flavour was good. Fries were nice and crispy. Cheese was waay overpriced 7$ for one piece not worth it. The courgette quiche tasted old and had a nasty grey colour to it. I will go back for the drinks but hopefully they switch up their menu. read more

I've been coming here for a couple year now, maybe once every 3 months as a treat!!! and its still one of my favourite place to when when I'm looking for a nice beer or old fashioned and a snack. Great service, location and decor and a great staff. love this place read more

First of all there's absolutely no place like it in Kelowna. This is a big city garden district bar nestled in the middle of honky tonk Kelowna (k, not really but yeah). Small setting but perfectly intimate. Drinks: Mixed cocktails are off the charts. Wine list is a local hard to find list. Beer list features local BC, Pacific NW, and odd gem from San Diego. Food: As of today I'd say the quality is seasonal. Anything affiliated with Raudz is a no brainer. read more

Heard great things about this place prior to coming. Came in quarter to 10 at night & they had a limited menu, but everything including a side water (with cucumber I might add) is to die for. We ordered: - the portobello mushrooms - pomme frites - artisan loaf - popcorn They carried local beers. 100% will I come back. Service amazing. Bathrooms fantastic. A gem of a place, I wish more places were like this. Gourmet food for a "bar". read more

Horrible service and dishonest bartender. We got ignored at the bar for 10 minutes and our some of our food ordered was forgotten about. The bartender apologised and said that it was on the house but the he got a different bartender to ring up the bill and she didn't take the items off the bill. The original bar tender was right beside her and he did nothing. We will not return! Don't waste your money on this bad service. I can't remember if I've ever not tipped before and we wanted to negative tip if it was possible! read more

I'm not sure if I would recommend this place or not...I might be a bit biased because my post-Christmas feelings around food are that nothing tastes really good because, well, I'm still full for days. I think for myself, I'd give it another chance. This place made me feel like a super awesome hipster. We ordered the frites, a charcuterie plate and a vegetable plate, the name of which escapes me. No need, really, to order bread with the charcuterie plate. The pickled beans and some of the samples on this plate were amazing...the house made cheese didn't have much flavour though. I did wish there were a few more crustini with the plate, but life goes on. I ordered a drink and they didn't have one ingredient for it, so the server suggested another drink instead. Which is cool but the substitution was $4 more and showed up on our bill that way. (I guess hipsters aren't supposed to care about those things.) Service was amazing...our server was Lone-Ranger kind. I half expected him to come out and help us put tire chains on our car. read more

Lively atmosphere and good presentation of tapas, but my rapini was too greasy and my bone marrow dish had no flavour-just fat. Overpriced for what I'd served. read more

This place is great. Was in Kelowna for business. We went there for happy hours and we went back there again few hours later for late night dinner. All the food is great, there is no bad menu items. The pork belly and the cheese platter is a must try. You can tell the chief is serious and proud of his creations. Definitely a must go place in Kelowna. I am sure I will go every time from now on. read more

A cute little neighbourhood bar in downtown Kelowna. The decor and atmosphere is great. Inside has two small tables by the window but otherwise is all seated at a nice rustic wood top bar. The service is friendly as well as prompt. The drink selection is both extensive and creative. The beer selection is small but wide all on rotating taps, you'll never see the same thing twice! The wine selection is small but wide, featuring one of each major type, however for our taste, there was far too few Okanagan wines, as we love to drink local wines especially while visiting a great wine region. Our second time here we had two appetizers before heading to dinner. The duck fat and rosemary popcorn was the perfect snack to accompany almost any drink. However where they lost a star was on their green bean and radish baravas. The tomato "sauce" was more like slightly watered down condensed tomato soup with soggy green beans on top. Overall, the atmosphere, service, drink selection, and personality of the place is 4 stars. (Pro tip: get the popcorn!!!) read more

Best French fries I've ever had. Love the changing menu. This is my go to place in Kelowna. The ever changing menu continues to dazzle. The cocktails are pricey but a nice treat. Cannot wait for my next visit. read more

I'm reluctant to do a review because it's not a large place but it has a large vibe! To many peeps find out about it and I may not get a seat lol. The people that work there are some of the most talented and friendly folks around.the food is great with good meat,cheese,beer,wine and much more this small venue has class. read more

micro bar * bites - Great Beer! Fine Charcuterie! - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Kelowna, British Columbia

We ran into this place when we were actually looking for a different place. After a look at the menu we decided to stay...best Dinner decision during our time in Kelowna. The service is fantastic during the whole time and the waiters do not only start paying attentions when it comes to the payment. The food was excellent. We had the grilled vedgetables, the fries, the drunken goat cheese and the Tatar. It is very hard to pick a favorit and I am sure that the rest of the menu is outstanding as well! read more

The Kitchen dropped the ball on every item I ordered , starting with squid deep fried and soggy. Then the chicken not a breast as advertised but a leg opened and press grilled. Tasted great but unexpected. Lastly the marinated veggies marinated for maybe 2 minutes before they arrive at your table. Sham kitchen beware. read more

Dropped in late for a quick bite and a cocktail. Fantastic little place! I can't wait to go back.

We happened on this restaurant shortly after arriving in Kelowna and it is a must try. They had a happy hour special with beer and appetizers. The vegetable plate was delicious, and the turkey wings had a delicious blackberry sauce. The beer and wine were also delicious. I would definitely visit this restaurant again. read more

This place is amazing! Best charcuterie plate ever - beautiful fresh bread and house pickles. Fantastic service, friendly staff. Must go when in Kelowna. read more

Amazing! Any time I visit Kelowna this place is a must even if it's just for a drink. There beer, wine and cocktails are to die for. Everything is done with care and the bartenders know exactly what they are doing. Now the food!!! Oh it's so good. We had the sheep cheese, boar confit and crostini. Everything tasted perfect and went amazing together. The energy was wonderful and everyone there seemed very happy and comfortable. We did not wait long for drinks or food! Excellent read more

Good food, carefully made drinks, fantastic atmosphere for socializing. Small but delicious portions. Love it!

We loved this spot! Excellent, personable service. Great selection of drinks. We had the mushroom gravy poutine- to die for!

We went in for a late evening bite and drink. The mussels were very delicious, in a miso-cream-lemongrass succulent sauce, but I had to ask for bread (for which I had to pay) to sop up the salty deliciousness. That was a bit disappointing. The oysters were very mediocre, badly shucked, and two of the 6 we ordered were so tiny they should never have been served. The cheese options were simple and delightful and the wine was good (duh we are in Kelowna). Nice beer selection. The cod sliders were dry and the chutney-jam was just sugary and bland, very disappointing. The cocktails were fantastic, the mixologist knows what she's doing. The service was friendly enough. The atmosphere is great, the layout is super cool. We will try it again for their 5$ happy hour specials. Maybe this is more of a cocktail place than a place to eat. read more

Stopped in for a late-night cocktail and the friendly and knowledgeable barkeep recommended a local craft gin, which was good enough to order a double after the complimentary taste he gave me. His assistant was kindly attentive and talkative while I nursed it and took in the surroundings and crowd, both of which were nice and sophisticated w/o being sophisto. Didn't order anything to eat, but will definitely return to sample some of the interesting tapas they offer. Casual, relaxing ambience w/ good background music. read more

Wow, we were turned away as soon as I stepped half a foot in the door because of our 3.5 month old baby in a stroller! We were told no minors even though our baby would clearly not be drinking!! There was no customers in the restaurant and only 3 people on the patio. Not family friendly at all even at 3pm in the afternoon. I guess we won't be able to dine here for years! Actually we will never be back. read more

If you are looking for a deliciously crafted cocktail, ie *The Old Cuban*, look no further ...

Hip and expensive, great drinks selection, fun "steampunk" style decor, friendly and attentive service... I liked a lot of things in this restaurant, you can see straight into the kitchen, and the chef is very creative - however experimentation is not always for the best.... for example the piece of foie gras served "bleu" (basically raw inside, lightly seared outside) is NOT a good idea. Rest was awesome. Be prepared to pay more for the imported drinks and the "hip" factor. read more

Love love love this place! The food is unique and always to die for, great wine selection, amazing drinks, entertaining staff, and fun atmosphere. Love the design, love the concept. Great place to start your night out. read more

Nothing special happening here. The food varies between not good and good. In the first category we found the risotto fritters (little flavour, small portion), the turkey wings (lukewarm, small portion) and two cheese selections (too cold, not much flavour, small portions). The oysters were good, as were the fries (fried a minute longer by request, much appreciated) and the popcorn in duck fat. What I didn't like were the mug-like heavy glasses, used for the wine and beer. When I mentioned this to a server she said they "serve European style" . . . ah, yes, of course. How foolish of me. There is a good selection of beers on tap and bottled. I picked a bottled one which turned out to be canned, a big difference. The server wanted to pour my beer for me, forgetting the European style. The place has a nice lively buzz. Music a bit too loud to have a real conversation. May be I am too old (67) for this place. read more

Really intimate and beautiful. Great selection of beer and wine that's a bit out of the ordinary and the great bartenders will make up anything you like. Recommend a visit! read more

I went to micro on a cold Monday night recently looking for somewhere warm and delicious. At first I was very excited by the interior, dimly lit stone walls that soared upwards, a beautifully polished wood bar wrapping itself throughout the tiny space, and a consistent style in every meticulous detail. We sat at one of the two tables by the front windows and were able to take in the view of the entire restaurant from there. Service was friendly and quick as the place was quiet, it was a Monday for sure, yet a handful of people came and left. I had a pressed cucumber gimlet with lemonada for a drink. Although delicious the bartender was a little heavy handed with the lemon, which drowned out most of the cucumber flavour. I would have loved it to have been much more cucumbery. We ordered three dishes, Crispy hen's eggs with italian sausage and aoili $9, Mussels with cream and bread ~$13, and a Baked hanger steak with olives and anchovies $18. The hen's egg turned out to be a Scotch egg with aioli smears and arugula garnish. I cut open the very crispy croquette and perfectly soft boiled yolk immediately melted out. However, the entire thing was close to refrigerator temperature past the sausage layer and even that was lukewarm. The aioli was nice but lacked seasoning and acid so it didn't help the under-seasoned egg. I was disappointed that it was so cold. The mussels were very well cooked stuffed into a small black dish with two very small pieces of chewy grilled sourdough. The mussel sauce contained what it advertised, butter and cream. I couldn't taste anything but those two ingredients through the salty brine. There wasn't anything such as lemon or wine or shallots or even parsley--very simple. Our hanger steak arrived and I was hoping to really chow down. The steak couldn't have been more than 3 ounces, was again tepid, and surprisingly chewy and tough. It came with what probably amounted to 2 olives total and a small pinch of dressed arugula with pickled anchovies. The fish were tasty, but the steak was well under any bar I have. Overall, I loved the location and the atmosphere a great deal. But when it came to the food I expected more, especially when the restaurant is not busy and there is plenty of time to make $18 plates worth their while. read more

Loved this place! interior is great, its small, so fills up quickly with most seating around the bar. Tapas and cocktail menu was great, we were lucky to arrive on a day they just launched their new menus. We went a little crazy and ordered nearly everything on the menu!! The Popcorn cooked in Duck Fat - To.Die.For! There was nothing I didn't enjoy about Micro Bites, could have sat their all night!! I will be back :) read more
