These guys are your best bet for legit thin crust Italian pizza. It’s straight out of Italy but with a hipster Okanagan twist. Bad Tattoo Brewing (Pizza) is Tratto’s crazier pizza cousin located just down the street – great option as well.

Penticton is home to 5 craft beweries, but the Cannery has always had a piece of my heart! Nachos are a must, and kids are welcome. Neighbourhood Brewing is another great option for brews, fireplaces, a great patio, and tacos. Did you know Penticton is home to 5 craft breweries? Visit them all by following the "Penticton Ale Trail"

Sightseeing
I think this is one of the best views in the Okanagan. Bike from town if you’re up for a challenge (40KM round trip – GLORIOUS downhill), or Park at “KVR Smethurst Road Parking Lot” for closer access (4.4km walk or bike from Smethurst parking lot).

Electric Bikes are my favourite way to explore town! Grab some rental e-bikes from Pegedo on Front St in Penticton. You can go from lake to lake, or just head up the Kettle Valley Rail (KVR) Trail for beautiful views, and while you're at it... might as well stop into some wineries!
