Joey’s Only, Penticton

There is one thing that will keep a restaurant in the forefront and always busy….. consistency and good food.

We decided we needed our ‘fix’ of fish and chips and there is only one place to go to for that….Joey’s Only.

Dan, the owner, is always there to welcome you, show you to your table, pick up dishes, clean tables and always with a smile. Our server, Tina, is a true professional at what she does. Never intrusive, yet always aware if you need something. Thank you to both.

The food is terrific,  freshly made and piping hot. The restaurant is always busy and when Dan asked patrons how their meal was….we heard time and time again  “excellent as always”. Yup, consistency and good food wins the race.

Thanks again, Dan….we love what you do….you do it so well.

jojo’s cafe, Osoyoos

 

Yesterday we drove down to Osoyoos to visit our favourite Bakery and, on the way home, decided to drop in to jojo’s cafe for some lunch.

What a pleasant surprise this little gem is. The menu is on a huge blackboard on the wall – sandwiches, salads, soups, coffee, cold drinks. All fresh made when you order.

Don ordered a BLT sandwich on focaccia bread and I ordered, after a small pout, a shrimp sandwich on focaccia. (I say pout because I really wanted an egg salad sandwich but, like every restaurant in the country, it had onions in it)

The sandwiches are huge and we split our sandwiches so we each had a blt and shrimp. They were super great. Besides, we know our Bakery and they use Lake Village Bakery focaccia.

I had a coffee and I wish I had asked what kind they use. It was THE BEST coffee I have had in any etablishment in a very, very long time. I can still taste the wonderful brew (in my mind, of course).

This is a small cafe, but clean with friendly staff and a steady following. We will definitely make this a favourite spot for us.

** Note to establishments, how hard is it to set aside a couple of hard-boiled eggs so people like me can have an egg salad sandwich WITHOUT the hateful onions? Just askin’…..
