Indian

Baba's – A pleasant addition to the plethora of Nelson eateries. Baba's serves up a mean curry and is sure to please those looking for ethnicity in the palate

Seafood

Eating seafood more than 200 miles from the coast is always a little dubious but here are some good places that you can trust for great fish

Ward Street Fish Market – flown in daily, this is more of a fish market than a restaurant but they have great clam chowder and catch of the day specials.

All Season's – best halibut and salmon dishes in the Kootenays

Main Street Diner – not sure what category best reflects this Nelson icon as they have the best fish and chips in town combined with a mix of Greek food as well. Also check their Soup & Sandwich specials.

European

Café Kas – situated on Front Street, a few blocks north of downtown, this relatively new café boasts live music and a killer brunch

Asian

Rice - Incredible Asian-fusion dishes ranging from Thai to Cambodian. In summer, the patio is a delightful location to break bread. Sushi is the second best in town.

Kurama Sushi – The best Sushi at the best prices.

New China - All you can eat Chinese food. Great for kids or those who prefer volume and efficiency in their dining experiences

Garlic

Outer Clove – They love garlic and have a number of interesting delicacies based around this readily available bulb. Even garlic ice cream

Steakhouse

Louie's – Great steaks and martinis. We recommend dining in the lounge rather than white linen service in the main restaurant. Same menu, more relaxed atmosphere.

Mediterranean

Max & Irma's – New world cuisine with a Mediterranean flair. Check out our Monday ethnic nights and live local musicians.
