Century-old Naramata Inn back open with new French restaurant

Veteran restaurant owners Christopher Royal and Michael Ziff launched Bistro Lapin Perdu on May 16, 2025, inside the historic Naramata Inn located at 3625 First Street.
The former owners shuttered the inn on January 1, 2025, attributing the closure to ongoing difficulties faced by the tourism and hospitality sectors.
The century-old Naramata Inn, known for hosting some of the Okanagan's first tourists, is reopening its rooms alongside the new French-style bistro with a menu featuring dishes like Tartare de Boeuf and Confit de Canard.
Royal, who owns two popular downtown Penticton restaurants—Tratto Napoletana and Chulo Tapas & Bar—and Ziff, known for his contributions to Vancouver’s St. Lawrence and Hawksworth, are at the forefront of this new venture for the Naramata Inn.
The Naramata Hospitality Limited Partnership committed to preserving the property and investing in its upkeep, signaling renewed life for the historic inn and its community role.
