Cabana Bar And Grille Wins Silver Kelowna, BC. Cabana Bar and Grille was awarded second place in the Best Okanagan Restaurant category in the prestigious Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards yesterday. "The “Duelling Chefs” event at Cabana was easily one of, if not the best food event that I have ever attended... This event featured two top chefs (and good friends), Michael Allemeier of Mission Hill and Ned Bell of Cabana, pitted against each other in a culinary battle.." Thoughts From My Belly, March 14th, 2009 "Kelowna's hottest new restaurant, Cabana Grille, looks like Miami by way of Merritt, B. C., but tastes like the best of wine country. The spacious surrounds are all sand, wood and stone -- the alfresco namesake cabana area being a focal point, with outsized umbrellas, chaises and a party vibe." National Post, October 22, 2008 "It’s a return to his roots for celebrity chef Ned Bell, who opened the Cabana Grille on Lakeshore Road in the Mission with a couple of partners earlier this year. He was born in Kelowna and his family has had a summer home here for decades, so it’s continued to be like a second home to him during his travels." Capital News, October, 2008 "Chef Ned Bell of Kelowna's Cabana Bar and Grille will be dishing up gastronomic heaven during this year's Cornucopia: a custom meal paired with wines from Ganton & Larsen Prospect Winery, all served in a luxury multi-million dollar Whistler home." North Shore News, October, 2008 “ It turns out that you can go home again. Ned Bell has been a Vancouver chef, a Toronto chef, a Calgary chef and a TV chef. But last year he heeded his Okanagan roots and the call to gather the artisanal bounty of the area in a mass-appeal package...” Western Living, October, 2008 “ Following in the footsteps of one of his close associates, Ned Bell steps down from fine dining to casual, affordable cooking. You might have caught Ned Bell on Cook Like Chef on the Food Network or more recently on CTV's It's Just Food....” Vancouver Sun, Sept 04, 2008 “ About eight seconds elapsed from the time we stepped onto the sunwashed patio of Cabana Bar and Grille, Kelowna’s hottest new restaurant, to the time we ran into someone we knew...” Calgary Herald , 24 Aug 2008 “ ...My main course of West Coast Paella was exceptional and my sister Tracy (who’s a salmon fanatic) said her West Coast steelhead salmon was the best she had ever tasted. If that wasn’t enough the creamsicle semi-freddo dessert was delicious. Do I have to say more? . ” Capital News , June 4 - 2008 “ Top chefs are leaving Western cities to bring wine-country cuisine to the Okanagan. The culinary revolution has begun. Thanks to starring roles in the Food Network’s Cook Like a Chef and Canadian Learning Television’s It’s Just Food!, Ned Bell is probably the best known of the revolutionaries.. ” Western Living Magazine “ Join the masses as they flock to the long awaited opening of Kelowna newest hot spot: Cabana Grille! Ready to greet the sun with a fabulous menu and a huge sexy patio featuring a lounge area with misters (as in sprinklers, not men), a very cool water feature and a 9 foot by 6 foot cement table with two fire pits in the middle. Can you say "line up"? Go early to get hot tables!” Eat Magazine, May - June 2008 |
