Lakeside Dining

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

On the shore of Okanagan Lake in Kelowna, the Lakeside Dining Room at Hotel Eldorado has built a reputation that extends well beyond the region. The restaurant earned Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence in 2024 — recognition that reflects not just the depth of the wine list, but the overall seriousness of the kitchen's ambitions.

Pacific Northwestern Cooking, Okanagan Sourced

The kitchen's philosophy is grounded in the Okanagan's own agricultural calendar. The Executive Chef works with local suppliers to bring seasonal and organic farm-to-table ingredients to the table, letting the region's produce, rather than any fixed formula, shape what ends up on the plate. AAA Sterling Silver Beef selections and daily market-fresh seafood anchor the dinner menu, while the Pacific Northwestern approach keeps things rooted in what the land and water around Kelowna actually offer.

The Wine List

With over 150 labels, the wine program is broad enough to earn its Wine Spectator recognition year after year. Okanagan Valley producers sit alongside wider selections, giving guests the chance to explore the valley's own viticulture or range further afield — a fitting complement to a menu built around local ingredients.

Sunday Brunch

The Sunday Brunch has become something of an institution in the Okanagan, voted best in the region year after year. The spread runs from made-to-order omelets and traditional breakfast staples through a market-fresh seafood selection, fresh fruits, and bountiful desserts — the kind of brunch that warrants its own trip to Kelowna.

The Setting

The dining room operates daily from early morning through the evening, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Beyond the main room, Hotel Eldorado offers a lounge, boardwalk dining, and exclusive experiences including whisky tastings and afternoon tea — but the Lakeside Dining Room, with its lakeside outlook and Pacific Northwestern table, remains the heart of it all.
