Dining

Deli Delights

Cantaloupe Annie's, named for the time when Oliver was renown for its massive shipments of cantaloupes, is famous in its own right. Known up and down the valley for its Montreal smoked meat sandwiches, this little main street eatery is part deli-tapas bar-tea room. Order a picnic lunch to take wine touring.

Ethnic Eateries

With a large Indo-Canadian population, it's no surprise that Oliver offers terrific Indian food. Best of India features authentic dishes, spiced to suit a variety of tastes. This is another restaurant that attracts diners from all over the Thompson Okanagan region. Oliver Garden lays on the Chinese buffet while Savvios serves Greek and Italian.

Golf Course Fare

The menu in the Clubhouse & Lounge at Fairview Mountain Golf Course includes appies, burgers and fine dining. For freshly barbecued fare and a great view, try the Diamondback Grill & Patio. For more great views, check out the patio at Nk'Mip Canyon Desert Golf Course. The Canyon Restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, appies and dinner. Both golf course eateries offer great selections of Okanagan wines.

Winery Dining

The wine list at Burrowing Owl Estate Winery's Sonora Room Restaurant changes regularly and offers wines that are no longer available for sale. Chef Bernard Casavant's menu showcases local seasonal organic produce and artisan cheeses to compliment the panoramic vineyard view.

To Market

For do-it-yourself gourmet dining, the Oliver Country Market & Fair presents seasonal fruits and vegetables, homemade baking and preserves on Saturday mornings in the Agro-Pavillion at Lion's Park from mid-June to October. Stop by one of Oliver's many roadside stands for fresh-picked fruits and vegetables in season.
