For the last three years we have been trying to eat at this restaurant. But due to unforeseen circumstances such as the pandemic and a shortage of food/staff, it was only recently that we finally got our Carribean food craving while visiting Penticton!
There are two locations, but the one across from Skaha lake is the main spot and best one to visit. Mark and Denise are super nice and down to earth, and I love being able to support a local restaurant.
I really wanted to try the oxtail but it was not available. I think you actually have to call a few days ahead of time to ask or request it. It also depends on if the needed ingredients are in stock.

I ordered the jerk chicken poutine and it was to die for, with just the right amount of heat! Great spot to slow down and chill out with a great view of Skaha Lake watching planes landing.

Read moreMy girlfriend and I came to Penticton for the week and maybe it was the sunshine or maybe it was the beach, but something had us craving Caribbean food.
Luckily we found Mr Mark’s because I can say without a doubt it was the best jerk chicken I’ve ever had, and trust me, I’ve had A LOT.
Not only was the food amazing, but Mr Mark himself was friendly, funny and very kind.
If you’re in Penticton and you’re feeling that same island vibe, definitely go see Mr Mark.
You won’t be disappointed.
OH and don’t forget the hot sauce! It’s so good you’ll want to drink it...
