9 MILE food + drink

In the middle of one of the Okanagan's most idyllic lakeside villages sits 9 MILE, a small cafe that's been quietly transformed by a Spanish-French chef with real training and real ambition. The tartiflette is the kind of dish you don't expect to find in Naramata, rich, honest, and made with intention. This isn't a place performing 'European' for tourists, it's a place that happens to be genuinely French-inflected, run by someone who knows the cuisine from the inside. Pair it with a glass of something local and let the lakeside setting do the rest. Reviewers rate it 4.8 for a reason. A little detour that turns into the best part of the trip.
