Savvios Family Restaurant

Family restaurants in agricultural towns tend to carry more of the community's daily traffic than their size suggests, and Savvios Family Restaurant holds a spot on Oliver's main street at 5948. The address puts it in the middle of the town's working stretch, within a short walk of the shops, the hospital district and the highway that runs straight through on its way between Penticton and Osoyoos.

Summer is the crowded season around here. Oliver sits at the centre of the valley's densest run of vineyards, and the traffic that brings pushes through the middle of town from late spring until the grapes come off. Arriving early, or later in the evening, tends to be easier during those weeks. Through winter the pace drops back to the town's own rhythm and the main street quiets considerably. Either way the place is straightforward to find: one road, one row of buildings, curbside parking, and everything else in Oliver within a few minutes on foot.
