This restaurant has a very quaint cozy atmosphere and boasts one of the best farm to table menus in this town. They are known for their amazing elk burgers and poutine, but their daily specials are sure to impress. If you leave there without trying the cocktail names “Forrest floor”, you are doing yourself a disservice. One of Nelson’s true culinary gems.

Oso Negro is a unique coffee company that was founded by one of nelson’s local families. The coffee shop has a comfy vibe that would entice any local to open a book and spend an hour or two, but also caters to the fast morning traffic looking for that caffeine boost. Their breakfast sandwich is a local legend, it includes Antoinette’s dip as a topping which you will probably end up wanting to look for at our local grocer as it had become quite famous. I put that sh*t on everything.

This quirky restaurant is a hybrid between a secondhand bookstore and one of Nelson’s best breakfast restaurant spots. Some of my faves are their spattzel and their eggs Benny.

Red light ramen is an adorable back alley local spot that you shouldn’t miss. Their ramen is delicious whether you love bone broth or live more of a vegetarian lifestyle. Their cocktails are so creative and delicious, I never want to leave. If you are here in the summer, the heated patio is a great place to waste a few hours, specially when they have live music.

I would definitely classify yum son as one of Nelson’s hot spots. It is a Vietnamese fusion restaurants that prides themselves on impressing anyone that has a taste for fun unique cocktails. The chicken wings will change your life and the spring rolls are some of the best I’ve ever had. You can even order one on top of your Caesar. This restaurant has the kind of atmosphere that would suit a sexy date or a fun dinner with friends on a Friday night.
