Oso Negro Café
Cafe
😠 I wanted to love this place so much. It is so cute and seems to be so so popular.
Unfortunately the coffee/cappuccino was some of the worst we’ve ever had…the coffee was incredibly weak and the milk and foam honestly horrendous…sorry to say this, but the girls behind the counter were super friendly...

Main Street Diner
Restaurant
👍👍 We stop in several times while visiting Nelson (my hometown). I always get the broiled chicken rolled-in pita with Greek salad and my husband gets the mushroom deluxe burger. My kiddos tend to get the chicken fingers and fries. We all leave happy. The food is exceptional and the service is phenomena...

👍👍 Amazing service, super accommodating chefs and delicious food! Our group is all plant based and a few people have really specific food allergies, the chefs made some switch outs and gave us the loveliest meals to boot!
The veggie wraps are unbelievable, also tried the korean burger subbed with vegg...

Broken Hill
Restaurant
👍👍 Wow, what a great choice for a lunch stop. The food is delicious with good smoke flavors. The beer list is strictly regional and amazing. And the bourbon selection is small, but amazing. We'll be back!

Full Circle Cafe
Cafe
👍👍 It all started in my late teens, early twenties; my spiritual belief of hollandaise. When god touches you for the first time, you never forget. I have been to this place of worship thousands of times, I imagine. Even if in my imagination. Simply because this place, the food, is ethereal.
In actuali...

Empire Coffee
Coffee shop
👍👍 I was at this place for the first time, as a first-time visitor to Nelson, British Columbia. This place was wonderful! Loved the atmosphere, the coffee, and the space itself. Some of the best espresso I've had. Will absolutely visit the next time I'm in town!

Wait's on Nelson
Diner
👍👍 Wait's on Nelson was awesome. The waiter we had by the name of Tom was courteous, served us quickly and was knowledgeable with the menu. He ran the diner as if he owned it! Worker's like him are hard to find and I totally recommend the diner if you're ever in Nelson! Quality food, quality servic...

The Black Cauldron
Restaurant
👍👍 The Black Cauldron is a great Sunday date night spot - huge patio in the back and lots of mocktail/cocktail options to try. The theme is clever, but the flavour was right on. Don't be turned off by the strange sounding ingredients - the egg white is whipped into a meringue and really tasty! Desserts...

👍👍 This restaurant is hitting on all cylinders. Cozy and beautiful atmosphere, excellent food and service, and we came on a Sunday night when they have Nico, the jazz guitar player. His virtuosic gentle jazz stylings set the perfect mood. On weekends they have the prime rib special. Don't miss it espe...

Gina's Gelato
Ice cream shop
👍👍 This place has seriously the most delicious gelato I have ever had. Every flavour just tasted so real. Bananas foster and butter rum is what we landed on but oh man was it hard to choose. It’s such a cute little speakeasy themed gelato shop and it’s a must try if you’re in Nelson! Thanks Gina!

John Ward Fine Coffee
Cafe
😠 The positive: the font chosen for the sign was nice.
The negatives: there was an overpowering odour of stale coffee emanating. Should have aborted there but didn’t. Latte was was over-extracted, strong to the point that any flavour was obliterated, and the milk over steamed. As with the Oso Negro t...

The owners and workers were very kind and helpful and the establishment was decorated in a very creative and fun way. I would defi...
