Fodor's Review:

Working closely with independent farmers, the chef at this long-established favorite concentrates on such locally sourced products as lamb, duck, and seafood; quail, venison, and ostrich often make an appearance, too. The menu is based on what's fresh, but might include sea-scallop and rock-prawn cakes, rack of venison, or a green-curry seafood clay pot. The five-course tasting menu, with optional wine matching, is popular. The wine cellar-like setting, on the lower floor of a historic building in Bastion Square, is candlelit and romantic, with exposed brick, local art, soft music, and lots of intimate nooks and crannies. The wine list is well selected.

Flavorful Finese

My husband recently took me to Camille's for our anniversary. The atmosphere is unique, cozy, yet unpretentious. The food is amazing. There may not be a huge number of menue choices, but the flavour and quality of the food was unsurpased by anything I have ever tasted before. We will be back!

So good!

We spent our anniversary at Camilles, and we are so happy we did. I think it was the most romantic restaurant we have been to, and the food was incredible. I loved the fact that all the produce comes from local farms, and that the wine list included so many great BC wines. Our server was really knowledgeable about the wine list, and recommended something that we had never tried before- a wine from Kettle Valley winery. The desserts were also fabulous! We will definately go to Camilles again.
