About

WHAT DOES BROKEN ANCHOR MEAN?

Born in the heart of the Okanagan and inspired by the rugged beauty of the Pacific coast, Broken Anchor Kitchen is a seafood-forward restaurant rooted in passion, simplicity, and bold, honest flavours.

What began as a humble concept from a local industry veteran has evolved into a full-service culinary destination with a mission to bring the essence of the ocean to the Okanagan, one plate at a time. At Broken Anchor, we believe great food starts with great ingredients. That’s why we focus on sourcing fresh, sustainable seafood and supporting local farmers, fishers, and producers whenever possible.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Our menu reflects a love for coastal cuisine and the spirit of the region — clean flavours, creative techniques, and an ever-changing selection that keeps things exciting. From freshly shucked oysters and expertly paired wines to hearty bowls of chowder, crispy fish and chips, and seasonal chef-driven features, every dish is crafted with care and served with a sense of place.

Whether you're dropping in for a casual lunch, a relaxed dinner, or a special occasion, Broken Anchor is a place to slow down, enjoy the moment, and savour the best of land and sea in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
