🔥 The Woodfire Bistro brings a polished taste of Italy to Revelstoke without losing the relaxed feel of a mountain-town night out.
Just a few blocks from downtown, this newcomer leans into Italian comfort food with properly al dente pasta, Mushroom Arancini, seafood risotto, Veal Parmigiana and a slow-cooked Lamb Shank that has quickly emerged as an early favourite. Italian ingredients and classic techniques give the menu its backbone, while a thoughtful wine list, cocktails and cozy dining room make it equally suited to date night or dinner after a day in the mountains. It may be one of Revelstoke’s newer restaurants, but repeat visitors are already squeezing in two or three dinners during a single trip, which is a pretty promising way to start.
