This a nice cozy restaurant on the hill. We visited there for dinner . It was beautiful will lights and was pretty cozy and romantic . We ordered the Half Chicken for 2 people and belgium french fries. Food wa so delicious . Cozy atmosphere suitable for couples or families . There is patio seating too.
Service was quick and friendly plus the food is beautifully made. We had the lunch menu grassfed beef burger and the braised brisket burger - both were excellent! Fairly priced farm to table meals. Beer menu is also very good with local and coastal beers. Fancy patio area in a quiet side street as well. Would definitely come back again.👌
Really wonderful experience. I wish I'd taken more photos even though the lighting sucked for food photos. The bread with the oil and vinegar? Soooooo good. I had the Old Growth cocktail 🍸 which I LOVED. Beautiful smokiness. The Pitchfork burger with poutine (pictured) was fantastic. My friends had the arctic char and stuffed chicken breast which were also really well done. We "accidentally" ended up with all three desserts which we agreed were all better with some extra salt.
The breakfast poutine was phenomenal and the inside of Pitchfork is so warm and welcoming with a unique woody feel! Outside is charming and the view from the patio seems amazing!
Second time here, I cannot begin to explain the delicious excitement you get here, you’re guaranteed to have delicacies, that’s it, amazing, atmosphere here is splendid as well. All the cocktails are amazing, presentation and all, the frequent changing features enhance the desire to come back more and more. By far, one of the best places you could ever eat. I would completely come out of my way to eat here. Beyond fantastic. This visit I had the cabbage rolls and started with the smoked arctic char (must have) ate it too fast to grab a photo. Dessert was the citrus cheesecake, great, two cocktails old growth forest, and the strawberry negroni, amazing.
Excellent experience. It's situated on a hill and feels like a cozy little den when you go inside. I sat at the bar as I was by myself and my other option was on the patio. Ordered the elk striploin steak salad. It came quickly and was delicious. Steak was cooked perfectly. Salad was flavorful and balanced. Above all, the bartender Zoe made my visit here very special. She was attentive, friendly, gave great cocktail recommendations, and was genuinely good company. Would recommend going, and would definitely go back if in Nelson again!
Had two excellent dinners at Pitchfork on a recent visit to Nelson. Staff is friendly and attentive, food is delicious, cocktails and wine list are impressive. The Old Growth cocktail is fantastic! Pairs well with the calamari. Also loved the pan seared Brussels sprouts. Seared char was perfectly cooked with a crispy skin. Burger was tasty and clearly a fan favorite; everyone seemed to order it. Second night we enjoyed the mussels and clams in a really good broth and a well-executed tuna poke bowl. This is a great restaurant and worth going early if that’s the only reservation you can get.
Absolutely amazing food. We ordered the pickle small appetizer, which was a fun experience. There was beet, asparagus, carrots, garlic scapes, squash and Kimchi. The Kimchi was too salty for my liking but my husband loved it. I have a sensitive palate for salt. We also ordered the Calamari. It was lightly breaded and had a dusting of spice. It was on a bed of of aeoli and had some herbs on top. The best Calamari I've had. My entree was the trout with crispy skin ontop of broccolini with pesto sauce and beignet. The Pitchfork is highly recommended.
Admittedly, I stared at the stairs for this place for a solid minute, trying to determine if this was the place I was looking for, and if that was indeed the entrance. I'm very happy I chose this place for dinner. So much so, I did two nights in a row. While the pork belly (pictured) wasn't necessarily my taste, I thought I'd try something out of my typical palette, and am glad I did. The food is all wonderful, but the "Islander burger" is to absolutely die for. I am not certain, in any capacity, that I've ever had a better burger. It's a small restaurant, so there's a cozy feel, real candles, all wood and brick inside. Beautiful spot, really. 12/10 recommend. The reason my price is so high is because I had dessert and three beer each visit. Don't worry, I walked home. 😉
Stopped here for an anniversary supper on the patio in early September. The food, the view and the service was incredible. Our favorite for the night was for sure the calamari (so much so that I didn't even take a picture of it!). Highly recommend checking this place out.
