Open late but kitchen closes early. Friendly staff. Not the best parking.

The Occidental in Quesnel is the best place for dinner, hands down. The food is absolutely fantastic every time, and the vibe in the restaurant makes it a great spot whether you’re out with family or coworkers. The service is always top-notch — Amanda has looked after us several times and she’s friendly, professional, and makes the experience even better. We’ve been here a few times now — once with my family and several times with my company while in Quesnel — and it never disappoints. I don’t go anywhere else for dinner when I’m in town.

The venue is absolutely incredible with the best staff and the nicest owners, Barry and Louise McKillican. I can honestly say that the sound and lighting production is top-notch. A big thank you to the sound engineer, Brian McKillican, for being such a professional. Thank you to Occidental for supporting live music!
