This is our favourite Kamloops restaurant, hands down. Always excellent food and service.

Found myself in Kamloops (for the first time) for a business trip and after a bland lunch meal at Player's Chophouse, I was looking for something more fitting of my foodie palate -) Wandered to the far end of Victoria Street and noticed a beautiful heritage bank buildling that had been turned into an attractive restaurant. After a pleasant converstaion with the hostess, who introduced me to Chef Dale Decaire when I had some questions about the menu, I thought that dinner that evening would be worth trying.

I am happy to say that the entire dining experience was fabulous! The service was attentive, friendly and helpful...I especially appreciated the feedback on the wine list. When I was stuck between two wines, I was offered a small sample of both so that I could make the decision.

I went with 4 of the small plates to start...of particular note was the Duck thigh with a wonderful wild blueberry demi-glace and a seared scallop with a lemon/mint risoto....mmmmm good and cooked to perfection!

On the server's recommendation I went with the Arctic Char main course with a generous REAL crab, crab cake with sweet roasted corn, multiple roasted veggies and zesty roasted red pepper roule. Presentation was beautiful and once again, I was impressed with the preparation of the seafood items...the Arctic Char was cooked perfectly...seared crispy on the outside and fleshy slightly pink in the centre!

What I especially appreciated was having Chef Decaire come out from the kitchen to ask about how I had enjoyed the meal. He took my feedback thoughtfully, and sat down to converse with me over a glass of port.

I would have tried the dessert menu, but quite frankly, the portions were quite generous and I was too full -( The table across from me seemed to enjoy what looked to be a chocolate pate...

Overall, this was one of my most memorable and enjoyable dining experiences. I highly recommend the Brownstone Restaurant!

We were passing through this part of Canada and happened to find the Brownstown. Satisfied our foodie hearts and stomachs!

After living and dining in kamloops for 15 years, this is unquestionably the best restaurant in town.
