Since 1991, Duffy’s Pub has been committed to bringing you the finest quality food possible.

Staff members pride themselves on serving old-fashioned, home-style cooking with a few inno-vative ideas tossed in.

From the freshly caught, beer battered halibut, to daily soups and sauces created from scratch,

you’re sure to find some-thing to enjoy. French fries are cut daily, and steaks are aged a mini-mum of 30 days. Duffy’s uses only the finest lean ground beef in the burg-ers — which might cost more for the pub, but you’re worth it!

Duffy’s always strives to buy the best and the freshest ingredients, and kitchen staff prepares food with the utmost care, but if we can do more, let us know. If there’s something you’d like to see on the menu, tell us! Duffy’s is consis-tently voted ‘Best Pub’ by Kamloops Daily News readers.

When you enter Dorian Greek House — with its warm, inviting atmo-sphere, attentive service, and of course, its fabulous Greek cuisine — you may feel you have landed in Greece itself.

The restaurant offers classic, flavourful Greek cuisine, a variety of Italian pastas, as well as steaks and seafood dishes.

Some of the mouth-watering Mediterranean menu items Dorian diners rave about include succu-lent roast lamb, chicken souvlaki grilled to perfec-tion, light and crispy calamari and flambé sa-ganaki. Some customers go so far as to say it’s the best Greek food they’ve ever had. Anywhere.

Known for its extremely generous portions, regular customers have learned to come hungry. Very hungry.

Owners Jimmy and Diane and their staff provide friendly service and exceptional food at affordable prices.

Downtown Hoja Mongolian Grill

Everyone knows that downtown is the place to go for great food, inviting ambiance and friendly people. It’s where you’ll find Hoja Mongolian Grill, known for its healthy, fresh food, made right before your eyes.

One of the reasons for Hoja Mongolian Grill’s popularity is that customers custom design their meal to their liking. You choose the ingredients from a fresh, whole-food buffet, then choose your own flavor combination with the sauce bar. Take your creation to Hoja’s chef, and watch as he cooks your meal on the restau-rant’s famous Mongolian grill — a grill so hot it requires little oil and little time to create a siz-zling plate of fresh food.

In addition to the main course, Hoja also serves fresh homemade Mon-golian hot pot soup and a delicious selection of desserts.

Storms, the beautiful restau-rant perched on the shore of the South Thompson River, welcomes chef Brian Shaben to the team.

Shaben brings his talents and experience to the creative task of designing a new summer menu, focusing on fresh, local ingredients — and continuing Storms’ tradition of striving to give patrons the best possible ser-

vice and dining experience.

The popular patio opens in mid-April, as weather permits. And, speaking of summer, the restaurant is ex-panding its wine list for the sun-drenched days ahead.

Storms offers free birthday dinners, accommodates banquets and provides off-premise catering. It sports a newly renovated lounge with HD TVs to watch the game.

You’ll find much more be-hind the door of the family owned and operated Zoo Ice Cream Parlor than its name may imply, but ice cream — more than 30 flavours in peak season — is at the top of the list.

Running alongside is a full

crepe bar featuring more than 35 varieties, and the option to build your own.

Whether it’s a Savory Grizzlies Catch for break-fast, an Octopus’ Garden for lunch, or a sweet crepe for dessert, The Zoo is an affordable and tasty eating

experience. Sweet crepes can be as simple as Nu-tella/almond, or as exotic as mango/kiwi.

The fruit crepes boast the parlor’s famous vanilla cream, and all are pre-pared right in front of you.

Also on the menu are a variety of P.H.A.T. Donuts, homemade chili, soups, sandwiches and soon, the River Dog, fashioned after the famous Coney Island hot dog.
