El Taquero recently catered our wedding. They were absolutely incredible in all aspects. They had an exceptional team during the lead up to the event. On the day of they were extremely organized, personable with our guests, and the food was AMAZING! They managed allergies and took great care with my celiac disease. We are a few weeks out and I still have guests commenting on how delicious the food was! A huge thank you to the whole team! You made our special day that much more special!

The server was wonderful and made sure that my food came out gluten free. I have celiac and I feel very comfortable eating here. I'm thoroughly impressed with my entire experience.

This is a great place for delicious food with a variety of choices, including vegan and gluten friendly if you need it. Our service was top notch, staff were very friendly and super responsive to any needs. Would recommend a reservation as it was a very popular place. Highly recommend.

Went for my birthday dinner with my wife. The cabbage dish was incredible. The beef dish was cooked perfectly. The manager Dallas gave us phenomenal service as they were able to modify dishes to suit my wife’s dietary requirements (gluten & dairy free). Overall excellent. I would highly recommend checking it out for a special dinner or even just a casual night out.

Went at 11am on a Saturday and it was busy as expected (15 minute wait outside) but the service was fairly quick once we were in. We ordered, ate, and left within an hour. Appreciated the variety of options, good quality free run eggs, and gluten free options. Also appreciated having the option of choosing the number of eggs Benedict to order, which makes it nice for sharing at the table. Our server was super friendly- they forgot something I ordered, but ensured the issue was solved right away.

Finally made it to Humo, and not only did it not disappoint, it exceeded expectations. Chef is the boss of sauce. From the coconut lemongrass leche de tigre (ceviche), to the chorizo foam (octopus). Every bite we had was incredible. I’m intolerant of glutens and one of the guests was pescatarian, we very much enjoyed our entire dining experience ordering a few things at a time and sharing everything. We had Guacamole (which is hands down THE best guac I have ever had and I LOVE guac…), Albacore Tuna (that truffle ponzu 🤤), Aguachile (a must have whenever it appears on a menu), Cod Tacos (which I totally missed are beer battered, thankfully the server mentioned when she dropped them off and everyone else loved them) and the churro dessert (which they kindly put the glutens on the side so I could try, i took my bite and then my friends dumped the glutens on and nearly licked the bowl, probably would have if they could have.) I wish I was the type of human who took pictures of their food because everything was presented so beautifully but I’m not. So you’ll just have to go and see & taste for yourself. Also, as a side note felt it was very reasonably priced for what you get. We were all VERY satisfied at the end of our meal. My only critique would be it would have been really nice to have spoons, the sauces are so good. We did end up asking for a spoon nearly every course (we couldn’t wait on the first course because it was soo good), but it made us feel needy having to ask. So we appreciate how quickly one was provided and with a smile. All in all, a must try in the Okanagan from a very particular diner with exceptionally high expectations. 🤓

The food is so wonderful and the service is so helpful. My wife who is celiac can eat here. Greyden made the dining experience exceptional.

I love that they have gluten-free options! Their GF pizzas are the same as normal ones, and that's very rare! My husband loved the beer, and the atmosphere was really good. We had a really nice waiter also, so a great experience overall. Oh, and being rugged by the lake was also nice!

Great! Food portion was amazing, server was very good to my celiac wife and father-inlaw. She even brought out complimentary gluten free cake for their birthday. Highly recommended. I will be back

Went there last night to celebrate our 5 year anniversary. We had the chefs 5 course tasting menu with the wine paring and it was absolutely amazing! Because they knew it was our anniversary to start we were given a beautiful sparkling wine and our table had a little happy anniversary card for us! The service was exceptional and with every bite my boyfriend took he mentioned how amazing the food tasted! I called a head to make sure a wheat allergy could be accommodated and they went above and beyond any restaurant. When they brought out the warm bread and butter for while we waited for our food, they gave me veggies with an amazing dip to enjoy. The gluten free dessert was to die for. Derrick's steakhouse really made our anniversary extra special!

Impact Events

Great service and delicious food. Every time I go to Krafty I always say "why don't I come here more often?" The space is comfortable, the selection of food items are plenty and they have no problem accommodating my gluten free needs, along with a great BC wine list and tasty farm to glass cocktails. Mia is always a pleasure to see, but every team member ensures that you are comfortable and checks-in to make sure that you have everything you need. Highly recommend.

Fresh veggies, great staff. Alot of options to choose from and they even have gluten free pitas. Will be back soon👍

Brad Lagore

The veggie options are good. Surprised there were no gluten-free bread options. Overall it's a good local eatery for breakfast!

Brent Forder

It's a cool, independent café with personality and reasonable prices. I enjoyed the tomato soup, a veggie sandwich and a matcha latté. There are vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options in the sandwiches, burgers, salads and soups, but unfortunately not in the "hot lunches" category. The menu is designed with nutrition in mind and I appreciate that they have items like quinoa, sprouts and avocado. The service was friendly and authentic, and I have to bump them up to 5 stars for that since it's so rare. It lifted my spirits a bit to have lunch here instead of a chain.

Absolutely fabulous. It is a family owned Italian restaurant in downtown Kelowna, B.C. Canada. The Mother gets up every morning to make all the kast as for their dishes from scatch. If you've never had fresh pasta...... well there are no words. When you combine that with the fact that they have a gluten free pasta and then the stuffing and sauces OMG! Their Pizza is also like everything else is AMAZING. The service is exceptional and the staff make you feel right home. I highly recommend that if you are in the area or even just passing through you should take the time and eat here. FYI make a reservation a few days ahead as it is usually packed, especially now during the pandemic. They also have take out in case you want to eat it at home in elastic waist band sweats. Lol
