Dream Café Penticton

The Dream Cafe on Penticton’s Front Street, is one of those understated, brilliant places that when you finally find it, you wonder why everyone in the valley isn’t clamoring to get in. Well, actually they are but if you buy tickets in advance you won’t have a problem.

The food is good and the ambiance unusual in that it’s a bit like being in somebody’s really comfortable living room. The Dream Café has a superb and eclectic line-up of entertainment to get you moving and grooving… Check it out online at the Dream Café.
