Osoyoos is known for its beautiful lake, fantastic wine and plentiful water activities, but our little desert community in BC’s Okanagan Valley is also home to some incredible dining.
With wintery weather having taken over outside and February — the month of love — fast approaching, it feels like the perfect time of year to take a special someone on a romantic date.
Here are five places to consider, located right in the heart of downtown Osoyoos, for the next time you are planning a night out for two.
Convivia Bistro
Convivia Bistro brings French and Italian cuisine to downtown Osoyoos. Open for dinner every day except Sunday throughout the winter, Convivia has a variety of tasty dishes to satisfy any craving, while also providing a charming, low-lit atmosphere to set the mood on date night. Regarding food, if you’re craving hearty pastas or flavourful pizzas, Convivia is the place for you. Choose one of their scrumptious desserts, relax with a rich espresso after the meal, or of course, sample one of the many wines available to you.

The Campo Marina Café & Restaurant opened in 1994, and for over twenty years has been synonymous with outstanding Italian cuisine in Osoyoos.
