Dining
Although restaurants in Wells are open year round, there is a better selection during the summer season.
Several family style restaurants exist within the community of Wells, and nearby Barkerville has a variety of options along the main street for sit-down dining or snack n' stroll.
Resorts within Bowron Lake Provincial Park (30km/18mi north-east of Wells) open their restaurant doors to those exploring the park's lakes and rivers during the summer.
Winter Eating
When snows pile up along the trails and the swish of cross-country skis replaces the stomp of hiking boots, all of Barkerville closes for the winter, as do some businesses in Wells. Two restaurants, Pooley Street Café in the Wells Hotel on Pooley street, and the Northwoods Inn Restaurant on Highway 26, remain open to ensure some options for those travelling here for the winter playground.

Practical Points
For up-to-date information on dining choices available and seasonal hours, stop at the Wells Visitor Centre on Highway 26, west of town, or drop in at the Service Station or the Wells General Store. The District of Wells office has a good selection of brochures and staff members are a valuable source of information if the Visitor Centre is closed.
