The Smorgasbord owner-operator Anita Strong, along with staff Janet Chiorando and Erica Tippe, welcome you in for breakfast and lunch. Left, herb carrot soup with organic baby green salad.

Breakfast & lunch how it was meant to be

225 - 7th Avenue SouthKamloops

250-377-0055

The Smorgasbord Deli offers everything from fresh homemade soups to towering sandwiches and satisfying salads.

Biscuits, muffins and other desserts are baked each day, and the sandwich bread (from Lac La Hache Bakery) is also sold in store, which also features local and

fair trade groceries as well as global fair trade gifts.

Every day there’s a new feature — like Danish meatballs or beef burri-tos — and as the weather cools, there’s never been a better time to try out the Smorgasbord’s fa-mous soup, including its Gypsy soup, made with chickpeas and yams, or standards such as borscht and split pea.

“Whenever possible we

use local produce — whether it’s the fruit in the muffins, or the lettuce and tomatoes that go in the sandwiches,” says owner-operator Anita Strong.

Try out the Smorgasbord for lunch today, and enter for a chance to win flex passes to Western Canada Theatre or tickets to the Kamloops Symphony. A pair of tickets will be drawn each business day through Oct. 21.

Taste the authentic flavour of Mexico

Fiesta Mexicana Restaurante, which opened in early 2011, brings the authentic taste of the Mexican kitchen to Kamloops. After working in kitchens

793 Notre Dame Dr.Kamloops

from Guadalajara to Virginia, Minnesota, Vancouver and finally Kamloops, executive Chef Alberto Vazquez saw an opportunity to introduce his vision of Mexican cuisine to Western Canada. Teaming up with local restaurantuer Rodd Cruikshank they’ve paired a local venue with an international menu. Patrons rave about the quality of food, described

as some of the best Mexican cuisine in Western Canada. The taste and flavour has much to do with Fiesta Mexicana’s commitment to prepare everything in house, from scratch. Enjoy the more than 40 dishes on the menu, as well as an affordable lunch menu, all in a warm and inviting atmosphere, that includes a Spanish-style private courtyard patio.
