Dining

Coffee and More

Ease into the day with a latte at the cutest eatery in Chase. Simply De Vine Coffee & Bistro occupies a heritage building and along with the hot and cold coffee, chai, teas and smoothies, serves breakfast, sandwiches, desserts and snacks in a gallery/gift shop setting. A few steps away, Craig's Bakery lures with delicious smells that spill into the street from a narrow storefront. Lots of locals sit at the few tables and there's  a steady take-out trade in fresh baked goods and made-to-order deli sandwiches.

Home Cooking

The Loft Restaurant and Lounge, a favourite stop for tour buses, is known for good home cooking.

First Nations Fare

Owned and operated by the Little Shuswap Band, Jack Sam's Restaurant at Talking Rock Resort, is a 10-minute drive from Chase on the eastern shore of Little Shuswap Lake. While the menu reflects a mix of cultures, popular choices include bannock (a kind of bread and a First Nations staple), venison, buffalo, cedar board salmon steak and chicken or bird in clay (requires 24 hours notice). Jack Sam's is working toward a 100-mile menu using locally produced ingredients wherever possible. Many vegetables and herbs served in the restaurant are grown in the resort's Medicine Wheel Garden.

Markets

Chase is a convenient supply depot for outdoor enthusiasts headed to the provincial parks and backcountry. Two grocery stores stock a full range of provisions year round. On Friday evenings from late-May to mid-September, vendors at the Farmers' Market offer fresh produce, much of it organic, while U-pick strawberries are available in July, and August is corn season on farms just minutes from the village centre.
