Senor Froggy 's is a local Mexican grub place. It is budget-friendly and has quick service. If you're craving Mexican but don't want fancy prices, this is a great place to go. They have a large restaurant for eat-in as well. It is great for families! They also have Italian food with home-cooked sauces for those that are not into the spice and beans ;)

This place has home cooked food and many vegan, GF or allergy friendly options. It has a cool vibe to it, with local art on the walls (that is for sale). It can get busy at lunch, so arrive early. I don't think it's open for supper just FYI!

Kamloops' newest brewery/pub. I've yet to go but have heard great things! It is located next to the Noble Pig (one of my favourite restaurant/breweries in town). Might as well do a Kamloops brew tour as Red Collar Brewing is also in walking distance!!

Everything Else

Schubert Drive has a paved walking trail that goes from just below our house on the water, all the way to the Overlander bridge to downtown. I often go for runs from our home to downtown (6.5kms each way) as it is a flat, beautiful path along the river!

Shopping

This place is a shopping gem in Kamloops, offering everything from housewares, to clothing to Fluevog shoes. It is the go-to store when I want to find someone a gift. It is also owned by a local woman who is very fun & spunky.

Far & Wide is a locally owned shop full of amazing and unique items. They focus on having Canadian-made items, so you know I love to shop here. You may even find some of my husband's "Jon Smith Originals" serving boards there for sale ;) They are located downtown Kamloops.

Arts & Culture

The Kamloops Art Gallery has an amazing gift shop with items from a lot of local artists. It is also one of my go-to places to find gifts. Their stuff is very unique and you can find something in any budget. The Art Gallery itself is also a cool activity to do, and as it's attached to the library, it is also great for families!
