We had the eggs Benedict and honesty, it was fantastic! Look at the colour of these yolks! Prices are good, the food is amazing, staff was kind. Enjoyed our breakfast for sure. Highly recommended
The service was excellent! the waitress was very friendly even the manager was out saying hi to people. The place was covered in old pictures of Penticton which the manager was happy to give me backstory on, which was pretty cool. The food was good and affordable (15 per dish), I enjoyed the eggs benedict and the huevos rancheros. Ill definitely go back next time I'm in town!
The Bear's Den is one of Penticton's best kept secrets. The owner - Brenda - is such an amazing person! Lots of fun interacting with her. The staff are also great - most of them have been there for years - which says a lot. If you're looking for a great Breakfast, Brunch or Lunch - this is a tough place to beat! Open from 7am - 2pm. Parking around the front & rear. I highly recommend trying the Bear's Den Restaurant!
Whilst visiting Canada from England, we were on the hunt for pancakes for breakfast. The Bears Den totally delivered - service was fast and friendly, coffee was decent, and the breakfasts were exactly what we were looking for - big fluffy pancakes (mine packed full of blueberries), crispy bacon and plenty of syrup. As we settled the bill we even got a tip about a winery we’d be passing on our way to Osoyoos - Burrowing Owl - which was a great detour. Would definitely be back if we were here longer!
I couldn't believe how good my meal was... I had to go personally compliment the chef, I had the eggs Benedict, and that hollandaise sauce is the best hollandaise sauce I've ever had. Often I find places add too much of a sourness to it, but this one was nice and savory, very delicious. I felt like licking my plate clean! And then I tried my friend's sandwich as well, and it was amazing. I think they used battered fries, so they're really, really good. I give my experience they're an 11 out of 10. I'm probably gonna make that my new birthday place. Oh, and lastly, the price was super reasonable.
Girlfriend brought me here for the first time. Loved the food! The service was amazing and will definitely be back!
My wife and I liked this restaurant for breakfast. They seemed to be short staffed every time we went but the servers were very happy and efficient. I liked the bear breakfast so I ordered it every time. The pancakes were nice and fluffy, the square potatoes nice and tasty and the eggs over easy and great. My wife varied her selections but was always happy with her meals. I recommend this restaurant over a few others around we visited. Give Bears Den Restaurant a try you will like it.
Tucked in amid the emerging hotel district by the Trade and Convention Centre, this is a great spot for breakfast and lunch comfort food. No frills, just great cooking. Fresh made burger and fries, and the house cabbage borscht were outstanding. Service was prompt even though the restaurant was quite busy. Prices are significantly below current market, an added bonus. It's easy to miss the entrance, and parking out front is limited; there's lots more around the back. Pay them a visit. You won't be disappointed. Recent upgrades to the menu are well worth checking out. Small adjustments in pricing, but still a great homemade bang for your buck. Standout among the news offerings is the Greek Eggs Benny. Brilliant twist on classic fare, perfectly prepared.
