Garden House Restaurant in Penticton

It looks so pretty on the patio, but Im sad that I cant eat it because its so cold. But the Hunter Schnitzel was delicious. The mushroom sauce goes so well together. The chicken was delicious, but my favorite would still be the schnitzel.

Nomnomnom.

We came to the Garden House for our staff Christmas party. The owners went above and beyond to be accommodating, the food was top-notch, the prices were reasonable, the portions were generous, the service was excellent and we all had a really great time. We will 100% be back, this is easily some of the very best food to be had in town. Thank you for an excellent evening!

The food was very tasty and the service was great.

Really nice place to eat. The meals are perfect and are really similar to german dishes.

Everything is great

A very enchanting atmosphere. Great staff and delicious food. Definitely coming again.

This was incredible! Beautiful restaurant and 12/10 food. Tara was also so nice despite us showing up at 839 on a Monday! Very genuine and so kind! Plus incredible service and food!

The atmosphere was fun and cozy. The service was excellent. The food was superb

The food was amazing!! I cant wait to eat there again. This is now my favorite place to eat!

Have been wanting to try this place forever and we weren t disappointed. Fantastic value and delicious food. The atmosphere was cozy and the service was warm and friendly. My only suggestion would be to lower the volume of the music a little, we are only middle aged and even we found it a little loud. We will definitely be back.

I love the food and vibe of this place!

Walked in with my certified service animal and was told they wont serve us . My service animal has all her certifications with her and they still refused. I will never go back and it was my first time there.

We went there a year ago and I wanted to add a review but then I forgot the location until now. The lady was very kind and the little garden in front was so cute! German food fans, this is the place to be!

Beautiful patio and decor, and amazing family restaurant that serves great German food. I had the spatzle and the steak which was great and authentic. I highly recommend this place!

Beautiful restaurant with lots of shady patio seating. The food was amazing and lovely staff, run by a very nice family!

Very kind and accommodating service. Delicious meals and very welcoming atmosphere. Thank you very much for the excellent time! It was great to talk to you, even a little bit in German . My brother said the hunter Schnitzel tasted like at home in Germany I loved your chicken souvlaki

I felt like at home having dinner here! Tara and her husband are wonderrul people. Great food and generous portions! Plus, the whole place has a cool vibe. Highly reccomended! Thanks again.

Delicious! Definitely a must try. The patio is adorable and the service is superb.

The place is really very nice and clean. The food was very very good. Well prepared and served. Washrooms are super clean, even late in the evening. It seems everything is well taken care of. We had a delightfully nice evening and will be back! Thank you!

Great meal! Not our first time and definitely not our last. Lamb chops were to die for.

Truly enjoyed our food. Pepper Steak and hunter schnitzel were perfectly prepared and well seasoned. Good size portions. Service was attentive and helpful. The Garden was cozy and welcoming. Must try

Great looking outdoor eating area with friendly service and one of the best meals I ve ever had overall 10/10 experience Tara was very friendly staff

First visit based on reviews. Ate on the patio-nice atmosphere. Friendly greeting on arriving, good service, excellent meal. Food served quickly, hot and tasty. Definitely a go to again restaurant

We frequent this restaurant regularly as we love supporting local businesses. The food is always amazing, have tried a number of different items. The service by Tara and her husband are fantastic. Very thankful to have access to this amazing place. Great to dine inside or on the patio.

Aug 06/24: first time there for our monthly date-night; food is okay (maybe were picky eater); service and atmosphere are great.

Great schnitzel and spetzle. Welcoming atmosphere and lovely owners.

Brought the family, everyone found something they liked. Food was excellent! Food

The best place to dine in Penticton. Wonderful welcoming owners.

I would recommend this place to everyone coming to penticton.

Excellent service, even though we arrived just before they were about to close. Food was delicious and the place looks beautiful. Highly recommend it. Cheers!

We had an absolutely amazing experience at this family owned restaurant. A group of 9 of us arrived an hour before closing and they still graciously accepted us and the food was all amazing and came at a reasonable time. The owners even kindly gifted our group with some free dessert as we were celebrating an event and were very friendly and passionate about their work. And of course the restaurant was absolutely beautiful and felt like wed be transported to Europe

Great food and excellent service, we will definitely come back!

Very good food, wonderful hospitality, awesome environment, and good menu (German, Indian, Greek,....)

My husband and I were looking for some food options that were different from your typical local cuisine. We were so excited to have found Garden House. The restaurant has such a cute atmosphere especially in the warmer months sitting outside in the garden space. We had the house made humus and bruschetta to start which were both amazing! For mains I had the Valencia paella and my husband had the lamb chops, both were so delicious, unfortunately we were too full to have any desert but are definitely planning on coming back. Staff were very friendly and seemed so passionate about the restaurant making the experience even more special to be there. If you are looking for some unique food options look no further this place is wonderful! Thank you for the excellent service and meal we can t wait to come back!

We stumbled across the restaurant while staying in Penticton for the weekend. The owner was such a great hostess. The ambiance was very relaxing and inviting, with a very unique style and setup. The food was also delicious and of great quality ingredients. I will definitely visit again when Im back in Penticton.

Reminds me of a German bistrot, like having your European gran cook traditional dishes, but with a bit of a Persian flair. Prices are reasonable and service is very good. We ve been there a bunch of times since recently discovering it and never been disappointed! And. . . Great coffee!

Food was awesome. The ambiance is very relaxing. We will definitely come back.

Nice couple with warm welcome and wonderful food!

Honestly cant say enough, great german food, and we also got bruschetta and it was fantasti. The atmosphere was.amazing and staff fantastic! Come here and do not hesitate !!!!

Can someone explain to me how this place has such good reviews? As Europeans who traveled quite a bit we can not imagine this kind of food. Spaghetti- overcooked noodles, very little sauce Donair - it wasnt donair. Chef should check definition on donair. Schnitzel - rubber like meat, small portion and burned The worst part was service though. Chef asked for our opinion, we politely voiced our concerns and he started arguing and then left without a word. Just because you spend 40 years in Germany it doesnt mean you know how to cook. How about staff learns how to take feedback instead of arguing with paying customer? BTW they use microwave and use frozen veggies.

During my long trip in Penticton, this restaurant was one of my highlights! The food was absolutely amazing: My husband and I had the best hunters schnitzel we have ever tasted. It was fresh and very flavorful. Our waiter was extremely patient and helpful and catered to our specific food needs. The music was great and so was the atmosphere as a whole. Dont even get me started on that stunning porch area! This is a must-have if you are looking for a fun dinner in Penticton Kid-friendliness: My grandson absolutely loved the Tiki masala and our waiter was very kind to him!

One of my favourites in Penticton for good quality, authentic European food. So friendly and quick service . The outdoor patio is cute and homey... Well worth a stop!!! Parking: street parking

Great food and best people running it

Absolutely phenomenal food & service. Had a party of 10 and everyone s food & drink were served correctly & promptly. The atmosphere was extremely welcoming and so fun! Will definitely be going there again

Absolutely best restaurant in Penticton! The food was phenomenal, drinks were amazing and the service was even better! Thank you to the owners for being such amazing hosts. Will definitely be back next year!

Amazing food, service and atmosphere! Must try!

What a great experience. The owners are generous and caring.

Garden House was such an amazing experience tonight!! Everything was exceptional from the food, service and atmosphere on the patio (great tunes as well). We will most definitely be back and look forward to it. Everyone in our party of 8 highly recommends :) Thank you to Tara, our server and the chef!

Kid-friendliness: No problems with my 5yr old! Very friendly and made a simple spaghetti for her! Food

Great atmosphere and delicious food!

Hidden gem in the heart of Penticton. Great atmosphere great food and great service!

Such an unique and awesome spot to eat. The chicken donair was delicious, great bang for your buck.

Excellent lamb souvlaki, great service, and very beautiful building and interior decor! Highly recommended for a nice dinner.

First time and what a great surprise decorated lovely , when sunny such a nice patio. Food was exceptional, and hot, tasty , I took my daughter and son in law for their 50 th anniversary and we were all so pleased . Owners are exceptional as well, will spread the word about this jewel . My family ordered Paella which I do not see below it to was excellent Parking: On Main St there was plenty of parking on that side of street no meters

Willkommen in Deutschland! Reminiscent of quaint hillside stubes (bistro/chalets) in the idyllic rural setting of Germany offering locals and travellers a perfect place to congregate for après-ski/work/cycle/hike night of delicious dinners, fresh beers and delicate wines. Chef and restauranteur Sam spent decades honing his skills and seeking the best recipes to delight his guests in Germany and recently North Vancouver. Relocating to the Okanagan, Sam and his wonderful wife Tara offer an authentic German experience with a refreshing menu of traditional specialties and international flavours (Persian, Turkish, Greek, Indian, French, Spanish). It s a tapestry of the world in one beautiful spot! Scratch homemade menu, locally sourced ingredients and the genuine hospitality truly transports you to a Garden House nestled in the German country side here in the stunning Okanagan! In European custom, I trust outdoor enthusiasts and cyclists will make this a MUST STOP for cold local beers/wines, refuel for the next lag or a place impress their friends. It s one of our favourite Germanic restaurants in the entire valley! Absolutely amazing schnitzel, Kebab and can t wait to try more! Danke!

Sam the owner is a master in the kitchen! I cant get good German food in Virginia. Penticton is very lucky to have such a talented chef serving remarkable German cuisine! The red cabbage is really the best I have ever had, and Ive been to Germany! The schnitzel was quite good and the spatzle was spot on authentic. Everything is made with fresh ingredients and it shows! Wow, what a great meal, thank you chef for a wonderful meal!

Went to this cute restaurant for the first time, with my mom. The food was delicious. I love the variety on the menu, from German, Italian, Greek and Persian. My mom had the hunter shnitzle and I had the lamb chop with rice, so good. The service was great, Tara was lovely. I loved the atmosphere, it felt like I was in a tree house. I will definitely be coming back.

very good food nice staff good ambiance would recommend Food : 5/5 |

Very cozy and lovely environment, with great management, a friendly family owned business that really cares about their food quality and customer satisfaction I had a great time and experience Food

An amazing experience with the warmest hosts! The food was incredible at the right price. The garden terrace was enchanting

The guy in the kitchen who is also the owner definitely has an ego bigger than the size of the portions that they serve. Definitely not a man who can take criticism, he kept telling us that s how the food is supposed to be and then told us how he knows more than us and bragged about his experience and walked off before we could even reply. When we narrated the incident to the server she asked us what the issue with the food was and then kept saying what else was the problem while speaking over the problem. Then said other people love the food. An awkward and disappointing experience overall, also very rude. I hope this comment gets enough eyes before it is deleted.

I recently dined at Garden House Restaurant and ordered the German Hunter schnitzel To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. The portion size was laughable and the taste? Lets just say it seemed like the cook had a particular fondness for burning things. Ive frequented many German restaurants and never had such a poor experience. This was a first. When the cook came over to ask if we enjoyed our meal, we politely mentioned it wasnt up to our expectations. His response was less than professional. He arrogantly declared that hes been cooking for 40 years. Well, based on my schnitzel, he should consider another 40 years of practice because it seems like hes spent the last four decades washing dishes rather than cooking.

Overcooked noodle and not enough souce

Everything we ordered was very good: lamb chops, Caesar salad, kase spatzle (pure comfort food!), Riesling. Service was prompt and kind (fwiw we were the only ones at the restaurant).

What a pleasant surprise. The food was outstanding, the service excellent I had chicken souvlaki. It was all white meat skewers with no thigh meat like Theos. And the lemon lavender cheesecake for dessert was so fresh tasting. And it is the most unique restaurant in town. I can hardly wait to go back when its warmer and sit outside.

Fun, unique ambience, super friendly service and some of the best food I ve had in a long time. The first visit for all 6 of us and we each look forward to returning to try their other dishes.

Very friendly staff. Excellent tasting food. Had the lamb souvlaki and the Hunter schnitzel. Highly recommended

Visiting Penticton for the first time from Calgary. Amazing food, had the schnitzel with mushroom gravy. Good portion size as well. Felt very satisfied!

Excellent quality food service. A very pleasant stop.

Just finished a lovely meal with my wife and 3 year old. Family friendly service and food options with booster chair or high chair. Food was delicious and service was top notch. Hunter schnitzel, Pan seared salmon, and cheesy spatle for the little one all superb. Kid-friendliness: Booster seat. High Chair. Food kids like.

This place has been our to go place to eat for a while family owned and they put love in each meal they cook which is rare to find 100 percent need to go here you will not be disappointed

We were a party of 14 that did phase our wonderful server Tara who was calm and efficient throughout all the craziness we brought with us. Food was yummy and the atmosphere was great. Looking forward to the summer when we can sit out on the patio with friends and try some of the other items on the menu. Thank you for a very enjoyable evening.

This place is a gem. Opened last year and run with love and care. As a native German, I highly recommend the German dishes. Spot on Thank you for the lovely evening! Unfortunately I forgot to take any photos

What an amazing experience!! A restaurant well worth trying. You will not be disappointed!! The food is very tasty and has lots of flavor. Not only is the food great, but the owners are very friendly, caring and definitely people oriented. The hunters schnitzel, the cordon bleu, the pepper steak and the chicken souvlaki are definitely worth trying. We will be repeat clients for sure.

I liked everything very much!

Very nice restaurant to go good food and very friendly people

We went for a celebration dinner, and I couldn t have be happier with our restaurant experience . The owners are very friendly. The food was delicious and mouthwatering. And the atmosphere is warm and inviting. We will be back!

We are locals in Penticton and absolutely love this little place. The owners are the sweetest people you will meet and the food is incredible, it is fresh and consistent each and every time we go. Great selection of food and drinks! Definitely our go to restaurant in town !!

We went for valentines dinner the husband and wife combo is amazing, the atmosphere is great, the food is unreal good, both husband and wife are very interactive and informative on food choices! Very happy with our valentines dinner

This place is a must go. Take out or dine in. The owners are genuine and the place is so beautiful the food is delicious and fresh prices are fair and reasonable.

Garden House Restaurant is a gem! The food is fresh, flavorful, and served with a smile. The inviting atmosphere and attentive service make it a top pick for a delightful dining experience. Highly recommended!

You need to eat here! Amazing service and food. Highly recommend!

My wife and I just came back from an amazing Birthday dinner at Garden House. I made reservations for 6pm, early for sure, but, you know....were old and I get pretty hangry waiting much later than that to eat dinner. What a treat from start to finish! Apparently parking is free after 6pm, and we were able to park right at the front entrance....so yay for us!! We entered as another group was leaving, the outdoor patio area is BEAUTIFUL and a wonderful segway to the indoor dining area. Upon entering we were warmly greeted by the Hostess/Owner and promptly seated. To our surprise, we were the only guests at that moment in time, and it created a wonderfully intimate and relaxed experience, and allowed some time to get to know the owners, and a bit of the history of Garden House. We ordered garlic bread and Bruscetto appies, 2 orders of the Hunters Schnitzel with the fresh made german pasta, and an order of lamb chops. EVERYTHING was delicious, including the red cabbage, every bite was savoured...Honestly, Ive been trying to get my wife to try Lamb for YEARS to no avail, but when she seen those lamb chops, she couldnt resist, and as no surprise to ME, she absolutely loved them! The Owners are very welcoming, their food is delicious, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and I couldnt have chosen a better establishment to share my wifes special day. Thank you for the wonderful evening! Well be back!

One of our favorite places in Penticton. Love the people, the excellent food, reasonable prices, and the warm personality of this excellent place to dine. Keep up the good work people because we are coming back!

The Garden House consistently impresses with its inviting atmosphere, delectable cuisine, and attentive staff. A refined dining choice for those seeking both culinary excellence and a welcoming ambiance.

Our first time here. Found this place by accident. We were welcomed by the owners Tara and Sam and they were lovely people. The food was very impressive and we enjoyed the astomsphere. The restaraunt is very small but nice and intimate. They have a nice outdoor patio when the weather is warm. Many amazing choices on the menu. We will be back and I would highly recommend. Jason and BobbiJo

We had a wonderful experience at Garden House. This restaurant has a very homey, cozy feel to it and the service is great. Delicious food too!!

Wow what a hidden gem in Penticton!! Awesome German cuisine, with a combination of other cultures, like Italian,Greek cuisine flavors

Delicious Hunter schnitzel! Huge servings at very reasonable prices. Really loved the ambiance and the people working there were so friendly. Looking forward to visiting again the next time I m in town!

What a wonderful little restaurant! It was such a delight to happen upon their opening day(evening). We couldn t resist the ambience and were so surprised that we were their first customers. And what a delicious dinner! The care and attention from the owners & staff was so appreciated. The food was so delicious! And we had wine from the local 3 Sisters Winery which was perfect paired with our food. It was charming to chat with the owner s young son at the bar, who told me he was 2nd in charge . He was a wonderful help and so eager to interact with us. I would strongly recommend this restaurant. It is the newest gem in Penticton s restaurant family. Linda Winnipeg, Manitoba

Apparently we came here on opening day! The menu had a wide variety of options to choose from and the drink selections were good too. I had the hunter schnitzel, which was delicious, and the portions were quite large for the price. The staff were super attentive and friendly. Would definitely come back :)

My partner and I ordered hunter schnitzel and chicken souvlaki and as a European it was absolutely amazing. Big portions for a reasonable price. Very friendly, helpful and great ambiance. Overall it was a great experience, even though they have only opened 2 days ago. we will definitely come back again!

Great date night atmospher, strong tasty cocktails, solid food at the right price.What more can you ask for?

Sam and Tara just opened the Garden House at 610 Main St. Penticton. It was a wonderful experience as the food was full of flavor and variety and plentiful. The German fried noodles were amazing as was the schnitzel, the spaghetti bolgonese and the shredded chicken in a garlic mushroom wine sauce. If you are looking for a evening of good hosts and good comfort food, then I would recommend The Garden House. Thanks Sam and Tara, I will be back, Parking: After 6 free parking.

I had beef stroganoff which was excellent. Garden House Bistro is a very nice place and the menues are different. I like some Central European dishes as we dont find these in Penticton. I will certainly come again.

The sign of a superior chef is in the sauce and that is why I highly recommend the Hunter Schnitzel. The spaetzle is the best I have had since visiting Germany. Paella is tasty with plenty of shrimp, real roast chicken pieces and succulent salmon (cooked to perfection). The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Bravo Sam and Tara

Very happy with our meal here. The staff made us feel like we were family visiting from out of town. The atmosphere was quiet and comfortable. Had the Hunter Schnitzel with spätzle; was delicious! Will be visiting again.

Excellent food

A really nice environment with good food. Loved the cheesecake.

So happy that the Garden House Bistro is open and running! A great fun place to eat and enjoy Tara, Nick and Sam!! Will definitely return for the great food and atmosphere. Am hoping that they improve their wine list as we have so many good wines in the valley and currently, they have very few selections. See you soon!

1st time there and will be back

My sister and I had dinner here tonight. We both had the schnitzel, red cabbage and spetzel. It was absolutely delicious. Dessert and cappuccino to top if for the perfect comfort meal.The staff, the food and the atmosphere were wonderful. Thank you for a lovely evening. We will be back for sure.

Nothing plant based on their menu

Thank you Tara for the lovely service and yummy food ..you are going to be very successful. We will be back..good wine prices also..

Great food and people. Good atmosphere and service.

Great renos. Very nice setting on the outdoor patio. Service was awesome Tara the owner is very kind and attentive. Food is German / Greek / etc is very tasty and like mom s kitchen.

Unbelievable food. Patio was ready for summer! Will be back many times.

Such a great food and an amazing service by the couple! She also add the dessert without asking! Totally Loved it and the ambience was cherry on top! Will visit again

Great food and very friendly staff. Went with a large group of friends, which the staff easily accommodated for, and everyone was happy with their meals. The schnitzel was very tasty. Bonus, if it s your birthday you get a free dessert! Definitely recommend this restaurant, hopefully it does well and sticks around in Penticton.

Really tasty food. The portions for the salad was a little small but loved the service and kindness of everyone working there. Great music too!

With a group of four on a vacation trip we visited this restaurant today. We were astonished by the great quality of the food and the friendliness of the people working there. Two of us had a hunters schnitzel and both agreed, that this was excellent and way better than many schnitzels they had had in Germany. The souflaki and the chicken Tikka masala of the others were also very good. We can really recommend this place, if you want good food in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Great owners. Very friendly and food is yummy. Must try

This is absolutely THE place to go if you are looking for authentic German food. Not just in Penticton, but probably the province! The Spätzle are made fresh in house, daily, by Chef Sam. Amazing! After numerous disappointments from the Black Forest restaurant chain and the Gasthaus (under its new ownership), I was losing hope in getting a real taste of home in BC, so the Garden House is a welcome addition to Penticton! I wish you all the success and cant wait to come back!

The restaurant is small and they have a wonderful outdoor seating area. Not palatial, but everything else is first rate. The menu is eclectic. German. Spanish, Italian just to mention what I remember. The Hunter Schnitzel is excellent. No one leaves this restaurant hungry. The mushroom sauce should be sold in stores. The service was excellent. The two young women were everywhere to help out all their guests. The prices for both the food and beverages were well below market pricing. I wish this family owned restaurant great success. Penticton needs them.

It is our new go to place in Penticton.

Pleasantly surprised when I found this restaurant in Penticton. Good portions with delicious food.

A must if you are in Penticton. The ambience is absolutely outstanding inside and out in the courtyard.. Youll go back! The food was fantastic. Can be romantic for or house a bigger group. The owners are onsite to make sure you enjoy .. Do not go past this place. Suitable for families too.

We dined in, well out actually, in the beautiful patio and each had the Hunter Schitzel. It was excellent! Neither of us could finish it so had leftovers for next day lunch....yum Food

Very fun night out here, absolutely great staff. Food was good, service exceptional! Relaxed atmosphere. 8 of us and everyone was in agreement that they would e visiting again soon! Big Kudos to the staff and ownership! Food

A very charming place with a welcoming ambience. The husband and wife team who own and run the restaurant are warm and friendly and eager to please. The restaurant was recommended to us by locals and we were very satisfied with the quality and value. Furthermore we brought our own wine for a small corkage fee. We will definitely return on our next visit to the Okanagan. Parking: Free parking after 6pm

Nice to see you Sam and Tara! We loved our lunch at the Garden House. You made our experience very warm and inviting. Hubby loVed his hunters schnitzel and my cordon bleu was reaLLy good! We will definitely be back and will bring friends with us!!

My son took my wife and I here for lunch yesterday. It was absolutely fabulous. Tara and Sam were great hosts and the food excellent. The menu has a definite International flare which was a hit. Everyone tried a different dish. And, the prices are reasonable! Definitely going back. Vegetarian options: Great chefs salad

Went for lunch with my parents last week and it was awesome! Tara and Sam are lovely humans and the food was exceptional. A total surprising mix of all your favourite dishes. The decor is so fun and the prices are mega reasonable. Just go and have a grand time!

I forgot to take a picture of my plate before I ate my delicious dinner! I was very tempted to take a picture of the empty plates on our table just to show how much we loved the food. It truly shows that the chef puts love in every dish he prepares, everything tasted so good! Great portions, nicely seasoned and cooked to perfection. All the ingredients were top notch. Great atmosphere and very friendly. We have found a new favourite place to dine. Parking: Free parking after 6pm. Lots of parking available.

dinner last night with my family was so good, we were picking off from each others plates to try on what the other was having mine: Cordon Bleu - tasted really good, plus the pan-fried potatoes and the broccoli that goes with this were delish hubs: Grilled Lamb Chops - he loved everything, but wasnt a fan of the several cucumbers in the salad bubbs: Chicken Souvlaki - the chicken and the tzatziki sauce were a hit on the kiddo, but I had to take over the Greek salad haha + the ambience was perfect, and we wouldve wanted to eat in the patio if it was a clear night, but it was drizzling and finally it did rain and were thankful we were already inside. - the only con was that there was too much decor inside that they could tone it down, and take the hanging flags down to keep up with the restos aesthetics - well def come back and try more

This is a place everyone needs to try! Absolute gem of a place. The atmosphere and decor were fantastic and the food was even better! Authentic German food! My mom had the Hunters schnitzel which was great! Very tender and the mushroom sauce was full of flavor! I had the Beef stroganoff which was also amazing! Tara was our server and even though she was extremely busy handling all tables by herself, she was quick and efficient and did it all with a smile on her face! Great service is hard to come by these days! Cant say enough about this place and we will definitely be returning when we visit Penticton again!

Had dinner at the Garden House last night. I had the hunter schnitzel with mushrooms with spatzel noodles and comes with red cabbage. My partner had a regular schnitzel. The chocolate dessert was to die for. Great staff, enjoyed the food and the menu was varied. Worth a look

We were very Happy with our time at The Garden House. Don t let the unassuming entrance fool you. If you d like a quiet, relaxing dinner with good food and nice atmosphere, give this place a try.

We walked in for dinner at 5 30pm on Friday evening and luckily got a table. Nice atmosphere and good food. We particularly enjoyed the salmon platter and the zurcher geschnetzetles!!

A wonderful cornucopia of different cuisines from across Europe. From the mediterranean to Germany, Italy, Spain and Greece. The atmosphere is quaint and cozy, from the minute you step in off of the street you are transported away to a destination getaway. Food was delicious. Definately would recommend.

Stopped by early in the evening for some dinner and this place was amazing! Such a lovely atmosphere in their outdoor patio section, you could tell they really put thought into making sure the setting was inviting yet comfortable and intimate. I had the hunter schnitzel with spatzle and my partner had the paella, and a pina colada each. Food was absolutely delicious and the portion sizes were extremely generous, and the 3oz cocktails were dangerous(ly good) - they didnt taste strong at all. Our waitress was also lovely and attentive. Well definitely be back!

Food was delicious, service was wonderful, best dining experience Ive had in a while! Location was beautiful too. We will be back!

After Theos refused to even take our take out order at 6pm, we found Garden House bistro instead which is a mere 20 meter walk from Theos. We always liked Theos souvlaki, but looks like we found an even better one! We only ordered take out, and the food is fantastic! The service is really good and welcoming. Coming back here again for sure!

Great new Penticton gem. Loved the European menu. Will be back. Lovely patio with shade and a breeze. Cute inside, too.

Great food and a romantic unique ambience. Highly recommend, the patio is beautiful, the service is quick and attentive and the schnitzel was fantastic!

Beautiful place, nice people and delicious meals, all one could ask for ! The lamb souvlaki was great but everyone at the table was happy with their choice of dishes. Food

We have dined here twice and have had an excellent meal both times. The food is very flavourful. While the service may not be fast, it is relaxed and friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Outstanding, there was nothing I didn t enjoy. The wait staff was stellar , the food was beyond exceptional. I cook German food and this is as good as I ve ever eaten . I will be back on a regular basis.

If you re looking for an amazing and unique dining experience in Pentiction, this is it. The food was delicious, came quickly and was so fresh and tasty. We got the Hummas, Hunters Schnitzel, and Paella. Great variety of foods to choose from - German, Greek, Italian, Spanish, etc. Service was incredibly friendly. Atmosphere was very unique, especially the outdoor garden patio that has large trees running through and over its deck. Highly recommend!

Extremely immersive patio, good atmosphere for a summer night. The paella is very good, but not like classic paella.

Great food! Try something different,we had the lamb chops! Ma and pa style rest, unique building with plenty of outdoor multi level seating in a garden setting. You have to check it out! Vegetarian options: Available

Wonderful service!! Top-notch food as well. We will be back!! Thank you. Food : 5/5

Very nice place, great atmosphere and excellent food, i ordered the Hunter Schnitzel, delicious. My top recomendation in Penticton.

A hidden gem! I had a lovely time here with friends in the beautiful courtyard outdoor seating area. We all enjoyed our meals, my dining companion said it was the best Chicken Tikka Masala shes had! The Hunter Schnitzel looked delicious and I will be trying that next time. The waitress, Tara, was very attentive and kind, even offering us a little taster of their lemon lavender cheesecake which was beautifully presented. Will definitely be back!

The atmosphere and decor were nice and the food was quite good and reasonably priced. Wish they had more lunch items on the menu like soup and sandwitches but maybe in the future. Will be back for sure.

Visited with my family 2 weeks back and loved every moment. The Garden house offers a beautiful European ambiance, delicious food, and great service. Highly recommend! Vegetarian options: Good veg options as well

awesome food. Chicken souvlaki was so tender. Beautiful ambience. The husband and wife were so sweet. Definitely going to return!

Had the lamb chops and by far best lamb I have had paired nicely with the merlot my mom and sister had the chicken Souvlaki and was so juice and tender would give a higher rating if I could also such good customer service will be coming here again

Everything was absolutely wonderful! Best chicken souvlaki I have ever had ! The staff were wonderful aswell you guys did a FANTASTIC Job thank you so much !

After travelling in Canada for 2 weeks, this was the first place we didnt have to have fried anything. Its so good! Really nice couple running it and even better food.

We had the most wonderful time at this restaurant for lunch. Very very friendly. My husband had the salmon and he absolutely loved it. Food was great owners were great. We will be going back and bringing our friends and family. Dietary restrictions: I do keto six days a week, so they were very willing to change things up so it works for me.

We had such an amazing experience at Garden House this evening. The food was phenomenal and very reasonable priced. The staff are some of the kindest people you will meet. We can t wait for our next visit to Garden House Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating of lactose intolerance.

I took my mom here for dinner. We both really enjoyed our meal. The merlot was perfect too! You just know when food is made with love. The service was lovely and you truly feel welcome. Super clean! I look forward to going back and trying something else on the menu. I have a gluten allergy but there was a lot for me to choose from. I will definitely go back, especially to eat on the unique patio. I highly recommend this little gem Dietary restrictions: Gluten friendly options

Best restaurant in penticton for great food and great people that own and run the operation. Been 4 times with multiple people and it s been 10/10 everytime. Only thing I would like to see are appetizers on the menu, but top notch place worth dining at!

This is my favourite place to eat. I ve been here 4 times and every meal I ve had has been 10/10. The owners are especially lovely and welcoming. Every time I come here I am blown away by the food , service and genuine passion for presenting top notch everything! Best place to enjoy a fantastic meal in Penticton!

We did a fall motorcycle ride to Penticton to see the T-Rex on the KVR trail that was incredible, wonderful time, saw the Halloween witches paddle boarding on Okanagan Lake, it gave us an appetite. We then had a very enjoyable evening at the Garden House, it threw us off at first because we were looking for the Mexican establishment that used to be there. Once we checked out the menu it also had a German enticement to it that made us go for it and we are very glad we did. Diane went for the caesar salad with the baguette croutons and chicken, I had the Cordon Bleu. The first thing we noticed was how the flavors really popped in all the dishes, it was great we loved it. Couldn t help it we ate our way through the courses and finished with the deserts Yum Yum Yum! The beer s hit the spot and the bar served up the Grappa, first time we ever had that. We had a nice chat with other patrons and the owner and wound up closing the place down. Thanks for a very fun evening, made the trip to Penticton extra enjoyable!

Garden House is a cozy and inviting place to meet and eat. With a rustic decor. We were warmly welcomed by Tara and Nick the owners. They made us feel at home. We ordered hunter schnitzel with mushroom gravy. Which was Delicious. Definitely place to go back to. Thank you for a memorable afternoon.

Having been many times before the food keeps getting better. The stroganoff tonight was fabulous the family atmosphere is worth the trip. At garden house everyone is treated special thanks Sam and tara

Came to visit for our first time to this town and one of our friend recommended us to try this new restaurant. So did and we are extremely happy with the service that we have received at this cozy and cute restaurant . It was our first time visiting and this restaurant has exceeded my expectations. The food was amazing . I definitely recommend this place If you re looking for a good environment, delicious food and outstanding customer service. Everyone is very welcoming and nice here, fantastic job! Will definitely come back for our next visit :)

Delicious and great, friendly service. Got the Zürcher Geschnetzeltes... I still cant pronounce it but will definitely get it again!

Had a lovely lunch here. Its such a funky space with the restaurant in an old house and a quirky outdoor eating area with delightful nooks and crannies for warmer weather dining. I had the curry bratwurst which was really tasty. The menu has a good range of European comfort food.

Our favorite spot in town! Such a comfy calm little restuaunt with really really good home cooked meals. The owners are local and fantastic people. Really really kind genuine human beings. This is a place you feel good about spending your money. Not only is it worth it but your supporting a local Family who lives here full time. Prices are extremely reasonable. Love this place. Hunters schnitzel is soooooooooo good. Worth a try 100%.

The owner served my table and was the best server Ive had in a very long time. She created a warm and welcoming atmosphere and shared about their journey of renovating and starting Garden House. I was charmed! The location has incredible character and the food is extraordinarily fresh and homemade. Enjoy!

Having moved to the Okanagan this year, we are delighted to find this lovely establishment to dine in. The food is consistently delicious, service is amazing and we love dining outside as much as the weather allows. Thank you

A lovely, intimate European experience. Prompt table service; inviting and attentive. Some spectacular menu items like Züri Gschnätzlets and Paella Espagnola. 2 thumbs up to the hosts!
