When you're in desert country,
it's worth seeking an oasis such as
Watermark beach resort's Wine bar &
patio. Go for its "feast" sharing plate of
braised lamb shank with an exhaustive
wine list including feature house wines
from the orofino vineyard—all overlooking
osoyoos lake (canada's warmest) and
under chef Adair scott's epicurean eye.

everything flows beautifully at
liquidity bistro—a locavore's haven
(oliver-farmed Arctic char, salt spring
island mussels) punctuating the south end
of skaha lake. Art lovers take note, too:
the place is peppered with artwork by Van-
couver's Martha sturdy and brent comber.

tinhorn creek's award-laden Miradoro
restaurant boasts a mountain backdrop, a
wraparound deck and vistas to dine for. At
the helm is executive chef Jeff Van Geest,
who shoots for Mediterranean-influenced
local creations (try the beets and faro
risotto crowned with damson plum or
crispy pizza bascaiola with fennel sausage).
