This special edition meal features a multi-course dinner showcasing local seasonal ingredients, created by Chef Rod Butters, with the dishes paired with iconic Okanagan wines as selected by Audrey Surrao. It will be a fun night looking back and celebrating with the community who have been part of this 20 year success story.
Rod Butters and Audrey Surrao pioneered a new level of dining in Kelowna 20 years ago with Fresco, which later rebranded to RauDZ Regional Table. Over the years Fresco morphed into RauDZ Regional Table and together they have expanded their business to include micro bar &. We're blessed in the Okanagan to have a large number of independent growers, vintners and crafts people who excel at what they do.

Services
From the 21 foot long communal table, to the photographs of our suppliers on the walls, RauDZ was meant to inspire friends & neighbours to linger, talk and generally just enjoy the food in this 106 year old heritage building. The first thing you notice on entering the restaurant is the reclaimed heartwood pine table.
This cocktail was created by a current member of our bar team, Chris Daigle. Chris has been with us for two years and created this cocktail last summer. Inspired visually by bright, eye-catching cocktails and exciting local ingredients, once introduced to purple basil from Bonnie Casavant's Everything Green farm he knew it would balance perfectly into a beautiful and delicious cocktail.
The Liquid Chefs at RauDZ Regional Table turn the bounty of the valley into some of the Okanagan's best martinis. House-made fruit pures, freshly harvest lavender, thyme, mint, whatever is fresh and seasonal in the valley is crafted into these 'field to glass' cocktails. Our ever-changing Signature fruit martini selections are chosen to reflect the freshest fruits and berries in the Okanagan Valley.
As a responsible community business, we continue to follow provincial guidelines as they develop. Masks can be removed when seated but must be worn when entering and exiting the restaurant or when visiting the restrooms. We look forward to welcoming you into our family of restaurants with the same warm hospitality, while doing everything we can to ensure the safety of our community.

The food here is so good! Everything is made with care with interesting ingredients and creative plating.
We ordered the salmon, Arctic char, and starter gnocchi. Each dish was unique and complimented each other.
My only gripe is that we had to pay for “sparkling and still water.” Make sure you ask for the complimentary water if you want to save yourself $12. Also, they don’t have tap for the machine.

Overall, Raudz was a nice experience but there were some things I had issues with. This is an extensive review with both praise and criticism.
Service: Service overall was fantastic. Water was refilled when empty, food was brought out only when the individual was sitting, patience with elderly shown and the service was quite professional yet had friendliness.
Restaurant venue: For how haughty the restaurant wants itself to be perceived, the environment leaves something to be desired. Outdated decor (the photos on the wall cheapens the experience) and outdated upholstery were the big ones here

What a absolute amazing experience here, Griffin had FANTASTIC food recommendations, and Ben's drinks paired perfectly with the food. Both, long term employees that were happy to share their experiences working for the owners and put care into crafting a great night for us.
The charcuterie board was packed with flavour and had a perfect amount for two people to share as an appetizer. The popcorn old fashioned left a host of buttery notes and was a perfect starting drink, along with the lavender bees knees, light and balanced, every component of the drink shined in its own way, this drink was crafted

Went in to treat myself for my birthday and sat down at the bar. The bartenders are amazing! I didn't really have to look at the menu, I just told them my mood and they paired drinks as I went!
The food is amazing! Had the brie appy and the pjb steak sandwich, which is the best I've ever had by far. Finished off with the panacotta which was amazing!
Will absolutely go back for more 😊

Wow, wow, wow! This was the best meal we've had in ages. Our server, Mike, was phenomenal. Very helpful with explanations and wine recommendations. The food was out of this world. I would have never thought halibut and cherry would go together but they sure do. We typically wouldn't get dessert but the first 2 courses were so good we wanted to see what dessert could possibly be like. The fresh berries with whipped basil mascarpone was so light and refreshing. Perfect way to end the meal.

I would suggest Raudz as a go-to higher-end restaurant in downtown Kelowna that one should eat at if you are in town for a trip or special occasion. I have been here twice now and their food is so fresh and the selection is perfect.
The menu changes seasonally and the drink specials change frequently too.
The service is always very professional and the restaurant is more dimly lit so it serves as a nice romantic spot.
My only issue would be that last time I ordered medium rare lamb but it was definitely cooked to medium, making the meat a little more drier than I would appreciate. But for entrees

The waiter was cheerful, efficient, and knowledgeable. The food came promptly. We started with the beef carpaccio and the focaccia bread, and both were fabulous. I ordered the rib eye, and it was great, but the dull knives made it challenging to cut. My husband had the halibut off the 20-year celebration menu, and my son had the steak burger. They finished with the salted caramel ice cream and toffee sponge and the ice cream sandwich. Overall the meal was good. The experience and service were most rememberable.

We came here for valentines dinner and we had an awesome time! Great atmosphere and services. Everyone was very friendly! The food was really good too. We enjoyed all of it. The steaks were very tender and grilled to perfection. Gnocchi was good as a starter but I think I wouldn’t order it as main. The bread was also a good starter. Overall, we had a good time and will definitely come back!

I came here with 3 of my friends and we had made a reservation for 730pm. We were seated right away. Our waitress was friendly initially and took our drinks and food order fairly quick. As we had already know what we wanted. We had ordered appetizers (BC mussels, J$ focaccia and the gnocchi). All three appetizers were AMAZING. While one of my friends did take a bit longer to finish her appetizer. This is when things went downhill. The waitress was now ignoring us. Went over to the table across from us at least 3 times and did not come over at all. When I asked that we had being waiting for a while

I ordered the wine pairing meal set and it is by far the MOST DELICIOUSLY put together set. We absolutely loved every dish and wine that was paired with the meal. We had the Best Service delivered to us by a very informative and professional Bar Tender, Chris. He made our visit extremely pleasant and entertaining. Most Delicious dinner ever indeed! How could we have NOT known about this place?! We didn't know that we had to make Reservations and we came right on time as we were were first in line. Didn't bother us that we sat at the bar. The food and service did the trick. Thank you to

Worth every penny. What more can I say besides letting the pictures speak for themselves ?? RauDZ does an outstanding job serving fresh local ingredients ranging from okanagan lake white fish to in-season cherries in the region. They elevate it with amazing flavour combinations, bright colours, interesting textures & impeccable plating. For the mid-high range prices ~$30 for entreés, it's seriously worth it !!
We came TWICE during our few days in Kelowna. We had the OAT CRUSTED ARTIC CHAR and seasonal GRILLED HALIBUT CHEEKS. Both fish dishes were absolutely delicious and had so many

Stopped by in town for a quick wine tasting trip with the bf and gave this place a try. We called before we arrived and they had room to squeeze the 2 of us in. They asked us to sanitize before heading to our table which is good. Our sever was friendly as well.
The food. Was delicious. I read about the crab cappuccino and had to try it. And loved it. Full of complex flavours and just a delight to drink. Even when it's 33 degrees outside. I also had half order of the parm gnocchi with roasted tomatoes. So. Good! We shared the mussels to start and my bf has the duck bolognese and he loved

A great spot for a nice meal. More upscale than a lot of the restaurants in town. Nice ambience and great staff. The waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu and was very efficient. The food was delicious. It's on the pricier side but the portions are large and the quality of food is high. We ordered appetisers, main meals and dessert. The gnocchi and the lamb were our favourite dishes of the night.

Traveled over to Kelowna for a quick trip and delicious eats! Luckily, I was able to secure a table for dinner with short notice at a local favorite, @raudz.
The first thing that caught my eye was their Crab cappuccino ($14), which is a roasted Dungeness crab soup with milk broth. I loved the rich crab flavor, complimented by the creaminess but not overwhelming. Isn't the little beet crab the cutest?? On a side note, they missed the chance to call it a crabuccino
Next, their beautifully plated Beef Carpaccio ($17). The colors are so vibrant and although I felt the pickled mushrooms wasn

This was our second time at this restaurant and sorry but have to post a negative review.
The restaurant is still a great place to go and we will give it a third chance but tonight they struck out.
We had the same quiet waitress as 5 months back and she still did not have the full menu written down to go over specials. Last visit you overlooked this tonight it just compounded events more in wrong direction.
First we choose a selection of Cabernet/melrlot blend off the menu and were advised "sorry we have waiting in shipment" Ok. I select a different Merlot and order a glass the spouse

I am using the last 9% of my phone battery to tell you that every single thing we ate and drank was phenomenal. The staff was so welcoming and I can't wait to come back before i head back to LA. Please do yourself the favor of eating here at least once. I forgot to take a picture of my other food because it was too yummy and I ate it before I could.

One word sums it up: AMAZING! Amazing food, amazing service and overall amazing experience. We ordered the asparagus (butter on side), which was good. The fish and chips (upgrade the chips to poutine) but the one thing that was disappointing was that the fish was served with the tartar sauce on top so the batter was soggy. But, the flavour was incredible! We also ended up getting the featured starter which was a tuna salad. The tuna was perfectly cooked (seared but tasted like it was semi smoked as well). Our server was attentive and our order was perfect. I can't wait to go back to try the

Never disappoint. A fav in Kelowna for sure. Food is always on point. Everything from platting to flavor is wonderfully done. This meal we ordered their mixed greens to start and I had the fish of the day which was pan seared Ling cod and my husband had their signature burger. Both our meals were cooked to perfection. We were savoring every bite. I'm shocked they made the Ling cod so outstanding, like nothing I've tasted before. Def worth a try when you are visiting Kelowna! Service was also excellent!
Didn't take any photos cuz the lighting wasn't great!

I would describe Raudz as a hip, trendy spot. We did not have a reservation which we were advised by the hostess they were completely booked for the night at 7pm. Luckily, the two of us scored the two last bar spots.
To start, we ordered the starter salad that was very refreshing! We shared the RJB sandwich, it arrived medium-rare just as we had asked and was delicious. Didn't care too much for the duck fat mayo with potatoes, was sort of bland. Service was good in the beginning but of course, being at the bar it got very busy and we were left unattended for quite sometime. There was never

This is a locavore establishment with some really good food and drinks. We were surprised at how vibrant the food scene in Kelowna is, and this is the epitome of what's happening. The food is original and imaginative without veering into the precious.
They have a mix of standard items (steaks, ribs, burgers, poutine) and more exotic fare (venison carpaccio, crab cappuccino, risotto with beet root). They also have a good wine selection, a variety of house cocktails, along with standard mixed drinks, ciders and beers.
We only went once in our weekend in Kelowna, but I look forward to going
