How Shang Shway Tea House
Tea house
👍👍 KK&Dee you simply must come here. Everyone should make a stop. Best Chinese food in Nelson. If you’re craving Asian food, this place is comforting. The dumplings are a must. Also had the Mapo Tofu, which had great flavours. Not your usual Mapo Tofu, but a good homey version. Tofu chunks were big, bu...

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!

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...

Big Dee’s Fancy Wieners & Quality Ice Cream
Ice cream shop
👍👍 One of the best experience I've ever had at an ice cream shop. I had the orange creamsicle flavored ice cream. It was definitely some of the best ice cream around town. The owners and workers were very kind and helpful and the establishment was decorated in a very creative and fun way. I would defi...

Au Soleil Levant
Bakery
😠 Very disappointing experience this morning. Where are all the baked goods/pastries at 9am on a Friday?? Croissant? Pain aux raisin? Kouign-Amann? Bought the only 2 things they had..bread and cookies, and both were old. Especially the baguette, could barely tear it, it was so hard and stale. I have h...

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...

Marzano
Italian restaurant
🫤 I gave this a 2 instead of 5 for dinner only because we were told that we had to vacate our table after having dinner and drinks as the table was reserved for another group. This was only after being seated for 90 minutes. A 90 minute turnover is unreasonable...if the table had a limited sitting t...

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!

👍 Cozy little microbrewery in the heart of Nelson! Rustic decor, large sidewalk patio, and friendly service make this an enjoyable place to try a flight of various small batch brews. Don't forget to purchase a 1L or 2L growler of your favorite from Backroads Brewing Co.!

Ashman's Smash Burgers and Fries
Restaurant
👍👍 Hands down 5 star two thumbs best burgers in the area. They are perfect and not expensive at all. Be prepared to have extra time on your hands because they are so good they go down faster than any other burger 🍔.
The deluxe with bacon cheese shredded lettice and grilled onions is a show stopper....

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...

👍👍 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...

Ellison's Market
General store
👍👍 As someone operating in the organics and ethical sector, Ellison offers the best organic quality produce in town. These stores are rare and difficult to find. Without a doubt this is the grocery store you stock up quality food on.

Sage Tapas & Wine Bar
Restaurant
😐 The service was good, the atmosphere was nice, we sat on the patio. I was not happy with the seafood risotto - the rice didn't have that creaminess that makes a risotto, the pieces of fish were too small to distinguish and there were only three mussels in the bowl. I actually asked about the rice an...
