Penticton's own Hooded Merganser restaurant received a happy surprise via email this week, learning that popular travel website TripAdvisor had ranked them within the top 10 per cent of restaurants in the world in their annual Travelers' Choice awards.
For the team at the Hood, it was a welcome win after trying times during COVID-19. They are proud of the victory and feel it is well-deserved.
"Our restaurant has recently made some changes to our menu, highlighting a strong focus on Farm-to-Table and introducing our new Head Chef, Dan Vichitthavong, to our team," said Frances Dellosa, marketing specialist with the resort.
The rankings and awards are based on over 8.7 million businesses worldwide listed on TripAdvisor. Only 4,817 unique businesses are considered in the awards due to the quality and quantity of their reviews, which got the Hooded Merganser into the top 10 per cent.
Dellosa said the distinction is exciting, and wanted to give a shoutout to the service, kitchen and other staff members who have been working especially hard in recent weeks and months.
