Buy BC (independent) · RestaurantWater bottle refillWashroomsVegetarian / vegan / GF
Benja Thai is a family-run Thai restaurant in the quiet Similkameen Valley town of Keremeos, with recipes rooted in Grandma Meechai Chaicomdee's forty years as a street-food vendor in Nongkhai, Thailand. The kitchen sources organic vegetables from nearby Parson's Fruit Stand and local farms, and pours wines from surrounding Similkameen wineries. During renovations, a 1952 chocolate bar was discovered inside the restaurant walls — a local curiosity still on display inside.
