This was our first time here, we came to celebrate a birthday and enjoy an evening with friends. The only thing that ruined our evening was a very loud and obnoxious female guest at a table for 10 in our area. My impression of Bogners is that it is, or should be a place you can enjoy a quiet evening with good friends, good food and great service. More...

What a great meal! This is a very European style restaurant - it has only set menus to choose from, something that is not as familiar to us north Americans. Tonight there were two choices, we opted for the five course fixed option with wine pairings. It was 45$ per person with 25$ each for the wines. Darin Paterson (chef/owner) has really embraced the farm to table and eat local concepts. He has raised garden beds all around the restaurant from which he sources most of the produce served in his establishment.For the starter we had a beetroot hummus with goat cheese and freshly fried tortilla chips, second was a prawn and house made cubed and fried chorizo sausage with fried green tomatoes and a zucchini remoulade. The hummus was silky, salty and slightly sweet - a healthy dish that tasted so decadent. The tomato/shrimp/chorizo offering was smoky, creamy and juicy - so good! Next was bitter garden greens with feta cheese and a wine reduction. There were house made rye crackers that were light, airy - reminiscent of a tuille. The main was a Greek spiced and braised boneless lamb shank, served with wilted greens and house made mustard and potatoes 2 ways- roasted and soft and unctuous, and thin crisply fried little 'waffle' chips. We practically arm wrestled each other for them!For dessert they actually gave us 3 choices, and although warm flourless chocolate cake sounded great, we both opted for one of the two fritters. Mine were ricotta fritters with roasted plums and vanilla bean ice cream, my husband had the apple fritters with cinnamon and the same ice cream - the wine pairing was a beautifully smooth Merlot/malbec - which you wouldn't think would work...but it was fabulous! The fritters were light, airy and slightly chewy in the middle - again - perfect! An americano coffee for hubby and a decaf cappuccino for me and we sat back and basked in the glow that comes from having a perfectly beautiful meal. The room is really nice too - it's in an old heritage house, lots of dark polished wood, soft lighting and candles. Our server was excellent - attentive, friendly and welcoming. The meal, wine pairings and coffees totalled 160$ after tax and before tip - an unbelievable price for what we had...highly recommended More...

We wondered about the set menu experience and have been delighted on two occasions with the 5 course offerings.Each course is an experience in taste using Chef Darrin’s creative seasonings and sauces. Most of the vegetables and herbs are grown right on the restaurant grounds or his nearby farm. His guided tour through the entire meal makes it a special experience. He also changes up the menu so each visit is different. Bogner’s also has a good wine list featuring many Okanagan vintages, priced reasonably. More...

Amazingly delicious and fresh cuisine in a cozy heritage atmosphere. The owner seemed very passionate about each course as he brought them out and described each item in detail also telling us about utilizing local products and home grown produce. Best restaurant in Penticton!

We've been a few times for the 3 course menu and found the food to be delicious and creative. The menu changes every week based on what's in season and the chef's inspirations. The value for money is excellent, the atmosphere cozy and the service friendly and efficient. It has become one of our favorite places to eat in Penticton. More...

Owner was our server. He was very attentive. I asked if organic wine was on the menu, and he offered a local winery, not on the menu. We were thrilled with the offering. Meal was delicious! More...

Overall good. It was unfortunate that the restaurant was a bit chilly, but the item that impacted us most was the couple seated next to us who loudly discussed their plans, their children, upcoming events and amusing items on their phones. It was much nicer when they left.

The food and the service were both fairly good, nothing stood out as amazing. The main issue I had is that it took 3 or 4 attempts ordering wine before they had a bottle we were asking for. Considering they only sell wines from vineyard surrounding the restaurant, this is embarrassing. More...

Ate here for the 2nd time and we were pleasantly surprised there was room on the patio. Beautiful setting & very romantic - plus you get to see part of the garden up close! Farm to table and love the set menus. There were even options for non-dairy preferences. More...

Such a beautiful restaurant inside of an older home, vegetable and herb garden outside is the source and inspiration of the dishes. Quite literally created from farm/garden to table! Wine pairings seemed minimal for the location but perhaps this is due to the true local nature and vibe of this restaurant! An absolute treat to eat here and an absolute gem of a location! More...

Despite arriving a few minutes before our reservation time, we were kindly welcomed and given the option of sitting either in the patio or the restaurant. Since the temperature was fantastic, we chose the patio.Beautiful patio with big tables and homegrown vegetables and fruit. We decided to go for the 5 plates set menu, with just wine pairing for one (to share). Each of the plates were simply delicious. Generous portions, delicate flavours that combined well, passionate explanation by our server of what was in each plate and origin of each of the ingredients composing it. Simply outstanding. Really pleased with the experience. If you are around, definitely worth a visit. Set menu is a bargain for what you get.Thanks Bogner's! More...

We loved our experience at Bogner's. The food was incredible and the service was impeccable. We were the first table at their opening, so it wasn't very busy therefore I can't comment on the noise level. The atmosphere is so wonderful and the owner is a gem. He was also our server and took the time to explain every dish and to answer any questions we had. I wish I lived in Penticton so I could go there on a regular basis! More...

We had such an amazing evening at Bogner’s! Sheila greeted us and made us feel welcome, and went out of her way to accommodate us numerous times, and was so great with our little one we brought along. We truly appreciated her hospitality and kindness. Each of us had a different dish and each one was out of this world. I don’t remember the last time I ate food that was THIS good. Every one of us had a clean plate by the end, including our little picky eater! Dessert was great too! We had such a fantastic evening and we would like to thank Sheila, the chef, and everyone at Bogner’s for a night to remember!! More...

We are long time fans of Bogner’s and never miss it when visiting the city. The Chef is very big on the concept of farm to table and fresh, local ingredients - and it shows in his food. He was out on the floor and spent some time talking with us at the end of our meal. His passion for food made with fresh ingredients grown on site or locally is very obvious, and he is keen to adjust to a kid friendly menu should the need arrive - also with the fresh and tasty ingredients! Great value with his tasting menu options, a wonderful selection of wines or wine pairings, all set in a cozy room with character and ambiance. A must not miss when in Penticton. Thanks! More...
