Best noodles in Kamloops. Only open for lunch (Thurs/Fri also open for dinner). They get busy and sometimes there’s a short wait but it’s for a good reason!
Order “extra noodles” for only a bit more $ and you get twice the portion.

Best noodle house in the downtown area. Tiger Ramen is slightly better (more traditional from scratch broth) but Jacob’s is within walking distance from the house.

Best restaurant in Kamloops. Reservations needed. In summer, when making a reservation, always ask if they have seating available outside… the outdoor, garden seating area is gorgeous. You can bring your own bottle of wine (unless their policy has changed) to reduce the price a bit.

Snow Sports
Affordable prices. Amazing tube park. Beautiful old log lodge. Being at a lower elevation they sometimes struggle with snow quality in the early and late ski season.
