Bistro Lapin Perdu

Welcome to Bistro Lapin Perdu—where a love for good food, great wine, and even better company comes together under one nostalgic roof.

Once upon a time (or, more precisely, since 1908), the Naramata Inn has stood as a treasured landmark on Okanagan Lake—a place where memories are made, milestones toasted, and stories shared. But when its doors quietly closed in early 2025, something special was missing from the heart of the village.

Enter two long-time friends of the Okanagan food scene: Christopher Royal and Michael Ziff. With a vision full of charm and a deep affection for their community, they dreamed up a fresh chapter for the Inn—one filled with whimsy and laughter, lakeside leisure, and French countryside magic. And so, Bistro Lapin Perdu was born.

Lapin Perdu—French for Lost Rabbit—is both a nod to discovery and a playful invitation to wander. It’s the kind of place where you might pop in for a glass of wine and lose track of time over warm conversation and steak frites. A bistro built on welcoming locals home and inviting guests to stay awhile.

So come on in. Our doors are open to sip, savour and stay a while…

Explore Our Menus

Reflecting the whimsy, elegance, and artistry of a classic French bistro, we designed our menu to dazzle and delight the tastebuds—afterall, life is meant to be enjoyed, and what better way than with good food and even better company? Playing off our heritage you find familiar French dishes with a touch of Quebecoise flair, a beverage list that honours local Okanagan businesses while highlighting European tastes, and thoughtfully crafted dishes that provide diverse, flavourful options to please everyone at the table. Bon appétit!

Please note: A classic French bistro cannot accommodate vegan options. Almost all of our dishes contain dairy or other animal products, as is customary when reflecting the deep culinary traditions in French cuisine. Give us a call if you have any concerns.

Reservations & Walk-ins

We’re keeping things old-school. Give us a call to book your table, or simply swing by for availability. Walk-ins are always welcome and seated on a first-come, first-serve basis. If we’re full, we’ll happily add you to the waitlist and let you know as soon as a spot opens up.

Come as you are—we can’t wait to welcome you.
