The Goods from Poplar Grove Winery
Penticton, BC | Nestled on the picturesque Naramata Bench, The Restaurant at Poplar Grove invites guests to indulge in the Okanagan’s micro-seasonality through new summer menus curated by Executive Chef Stacy Johnston and Chef de Cuisine Minette Lotz. A perfect setting for the thoughtful food philosophy of its chefs, the 90-seat open-air restaurant and patio boast breathtaking views of Munson Mountain Vineyard and Okanagan Lake.
Chefs Stacy and Minette artfully blend summer’s sustainably sourced, locally grown, or foraged ingredients in dishes like Local Burrata with preserved orange and arugula; Wild BC Halibut with grilled ponzu cabbage; and Grass-fed Beef Tartare with tallow aioli, spruce tip dressing, parmigiano, and crostini, to name a few.
“We operate according to the rhythm of Mother Nature,” explains Chef Johnston. “Our culinary direction is informed by local farmers and foragers, ensuring each dish embodies the essence of the season.”
