The Bear, The Fish, The Root & the Berry

Fine Dining

About

This is a must-try culinary experience when visiting Osoyoos, utilizing seasonal ingredients to create modern vineyard cuisine, inspired by the restaurant's Indigenous roots.

The Syilx People of the Okanagan Nation approach to food is based on the creation stories of their culture. The name “The Bear, The Fish, The Root & The Berry,” is based on the story of the Four Food Chiefs - a chaptik story passed down through generations of the First Nations people of the Okanagan.

The Four Food Chiefs are central to the inspiration of the dishes and include: Skimxist Black Bear (chief of animals, representing self-sacrifice, leadership, giving), Ntytikxw Chinook Salmon (water creatures, perseverance, hard work), Speetlum Bitterroot (plants below the ground, relationships to the land) and Seeya Saskatoon Berry (plants above the ground, growth, strength, community).
