In downtown Osoyoos, 15 Park Bistro, the revamped restaurant at the Watermark Beach Resort, has become the place to go for wine and snacks and maybe something a bit more.
A really smart makeover has transformed a dark, cramped dining room into a coolly chic space where executive chef Nick Atkins serves up a menu perfectly designed for grazing and best enjoyed with consulting sommelier Ron Rocher’s thrilling selection of local and international wines.
The soft-spoken and profoundly skilled young chef Alessa Valdez leads the team at Phantom Creek in Oliver. Originally from Toronto, where she worked at such A-listed restaurants as Buca Yorkville, Alobar and Canoe, Valdez was drawn to the Okanagan by its incredible bounty.
