About the restaurant

As the days grow longer and the evenings warmer, Dose Coffee transforms into Dose After Dark — a seasonal dining experience offered Thursday through Saturday evenings all summer long.

Led by Head Chef Ivan Blackwell (you may remember him from Alfred’s), and joined by Alasdaur Aitken, the kitchen presents a Mediterranean-inspired menu full of vibrant, shareable dishes.

Our curated wine list features a thoughtful selection of old-world wines and inventive spins on classic cocktails — perfect for pairing and patio sipping.

The patio offers an alfresco dining experience whilst the inside dining space offers a more intimate atmosphere close to the action of the kitchen.

Dose After Dark launches Friday, June 13 and runs through to mid-September. Reservations are strongly encouraged, though we always keep space for walk-ins.

One of, if not, the best dining experiences we have had in Kelowna. From the fresh Humboldt squid and home made carbonara pasta for appetizers to the flat iron steak, Sablefish or duck for your main, you’d be hard pressed to find better quality anywhere. Fine dining with a casual non-pretentious ambience at a surprisingly very reasonable cost!

Good atmosphere, excellent food and services. Only recommendation is to point visitors towards the hotel entrance instead of the main doors during brunch time.
