15 Park Bistro Delivers Delicious Fresh Fare in the South Okanagan

Discover the charm of 15 Park Bistro, Osoyoos’ dining gem at Watermark Beach Resort. Its chic, modern interior, featuring a signature black-and-white floral accent wall, sets the stage for a luxurious lakeside dining experience. Whether you are in for casual cocktails or a special occasion dinner, this welcoming space is designed to cater to your every need.

At 15 Park Bistro, every meal is a celebration of excellent food, thanks to the expertise and passion of Executive Chef Jeffrey Young and his team. They bring to life fresh flavours sourced with intention by local farmers and purveyors, ensuring a culinary experience that is second to none.

Sip and Discover

15 Park Bistro offers a premium beverage program that truly showcases the unique flavours of the South Okanagan Valley. Their curated wine list features excellent varietals from the region (Church & State, Apricus Cellars, Ex Nihilo Vineyards, and Synchromesh), along with BC craft beer (Backroads, Driftwood, and Strathcona Beach), and Element Cider Co’s ciders. The bistro takes pride in its curated wine list, supporting local, family-run wineries that focus on producing high-quality, organic wines.

Popular summer wines in the Okanagan Valley include refreshing rosé, crisp Sauvignon Blanc, versatile Chardonnay, light Pinot Grigio, slightly sweet Riesling, and light-bodied Grenache. The unique climate of the Okanagan Valley allows for exceptional wines comparable to the world’s top regions. Local wineries experiment with lesser-known grape varieties, leveraging distinct climate variations to discover which varietals thrive best in this flourishing wine region.

For cocktail lovers, the 15 Park Peach (Absolute Vodka, fresh peach puree, lime juice, cinnamon syrup, and ginger beer) is a delight on the tongue, whereas the Watermelon Mojito (Havana 3-year-old Rum, watermelon puree, and mint) will have you planning a vacation to Cuba!

For those who like their cocktails to be clever twists on classics, try the Rosé Way (Bartier Bros Rosé, lemonade, and mint) or the Sweet Cherry Italian Margarita (Olmeca Tequila, Amaretto, muddled cherries, and lime juice).

At The Helm

Chef Jeffrey is a seasoned culinary professional with over three decades of valuable experience in the hospitality sector, having worked in esteemed establishments across Canada.

His innovative flair and dedication to highlighting local ingredients reflect his passion for creating unforgettable dining experiences that celebrate the abundance of the Okanagan region. Notably, he was honoured with the British Columbia Chefs’ Association (BCCA) Chef of the Year award in 2009 and has achieved multiple gold medals with Culinary Team Canada at the prestigious World Culinary Olympics.

Delicious Dining

Setting itself apart from other restaurants in Osoyoos, 15 Park Bistro epitomizes luxury with its cozy ambiance, scenic surroundings, and delightful cuisine.

Each ingredient is skillfully combined to craft delicious dishes that tantalize taste buds, and their steadfast dedication to flavourful cuisine, friendly service, and exceptional BC wine make guests feel esteemed and valued.

Whether you are there for a casual meal, a special evening, or anything in between, the attentive staff at 15 Park are committed to offering unparalleled service and an unforgettable experience to their patrons.

Highly recommended are two satisfying and flavourful plant-based dishes. Vegan Buddha Bowl with quinoa, roasted yams, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, avocado, soy ginger marinated tofu, and a savoury carrot miso dressing and the gluten-free Vegan Mushroom Risotto created with a delicious combination of gourmet mushrooms, leeks, nutritional yeast, and cashew-miso butter. Luscious and perfectly balanced.

Pair either of these dishes with a fresh garden salad, fresh-made soup, and do not hesitate to inform your server about dietary restrictions; the kitchen is accommodating within reason.

Nestled in an idyllic setting, 15 Park Bistro’s lakeside patio provides an ideal retreat for leisurely moments during the spring and summer seasons.

Overlooking the picturesque Osoyoos Lake, the patio offers an exquisite backdrop that perfectly complements its carefully selected wine list, creative cocktails, and locally inspired culinary creations.
