Huge variety of restaurants to choose from...not all created equal but highly recommend Yum Son Viet-Modern and Celestial Scoop Cafe (don't let the store front fool you, it's amazing vegan ice cream!)

Nelson was a beautiful city and I had a great time at the event I traveled for. My hotel stay was rough, but I’d visit the city again if I stayed elsewhere.

Eat at The Hume Hotel, stay there if you can, excellent dining staff and food (breakfast) and nice hotel. Eat at West Coast Grill, beautiful out door dining area on the water. Buffet dinner has everything you need. Baker Street is the place to shop
