⭐ Chantana's is known for Pad Thai and Tom Kha Gai.
🌶️ Chantana's Thai Restaurant is a longtime Lake Country favourite tucked inside the quiet Lakewood Mall along Highway 97, where the modest little dining room hides one of the community's most established independent restaurants.
Owner Chantana has become part of the restaurant's identity, with regulars returning for her warm hospitality and travellers making a point of stopping when passing through Winfield. The surprisingly extensive menu moves from fragrant coconut soups and Thai curries to noodles, fried rice and stir-fries, with many dishes prepared to order and adaptable for vegetarian and vegan diners. Despite its unassuming mall setting, Chantana's has built the kind of following that keeps former residents coming back when they visit the Okanagan, often with a slice of its unexpectedly famous homemade carrot cake to finish.
