The Block at Railtown is a breakfast-and-lunch eatery on Baker Street in Nelson's Railtown neighbourhood, built around comfort food with a French flair and an unwavering commitment to local, seasonal Kootenay-region ingredients. Every item on the menu — from crafted sandwiches and chowder to espresso drinks and fresh-baked cookies — is made from scratch using produce sourced directly from regional farmers. For a touring cyclist arriving in Nelson mid-morning, it offers a hearty, regionally rooted refuel in the centre of town.
