From shaking cocktails to serving cold cuts, Mark Veriker

is a recognizable figure in Kelowna香蕉视频直播檚 hospitality industry. 

The Kelowna bartender started his tenor ship at what was once named one of Canada香蕉视频直播檚 best restaurants, RauDZ Regional Table. From there he went on to curate drink menus, open new restaurants and win awards in nationally recognized cocktail competitions. 

Now, the man known for his style and 香蕉视频直播済arnished香蕉视频直播� techniques behind the bar has opened an 香蕉视频直播渆asy, breezy cafe,香蕉视频直播� right across the street from the former location of the restaurant that sparked his journey. 

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 time for the next step, and this is Fancy香蕉视频直播檚 Deli,香蕉视频直播� said Veriker. 香蕉视频直播淚 definitely think this is something Kelowna needed香蕉视频直播�. I have said it in the past, but I would walk around and end up in the same places, buying the same sandwiches. I thought, man there has to be a bit of fresh blood in here doing something in that genre.香蕉视频直播�

Located on 1517 Water Street, Veriker has created his 香蕉视频直播渙de to what he loves about Europe香蕉视频直播�, across from the recently opened Derrick香蕉视频直播檚 Steakhouse - situated in the same place where RauDZ used to operate before closing at the end of 2023. 

Ross Derrick a locally known chef and restauranteur, who also owned Broken Anchor and the Globe at Big White, opened Derrick香蕉视频直播檚 Steakhouse earlier this summer, which with Veriker香蕉视频直播檚 new venture has changed the face of dining on Water Street in downtown Kelowna.

Fancy香蕉视频直播檚 uses local bakers as well as meat, produce and condiment suppliers as often as possible, while also highlighting a few of Veriker香蕉视频直播檚 European favourites. 

Fancy香蕉视频直播檚 Cold Cuts & Cocktails is open Tuesday to Saturday, starting at noon and is also located in the former location of Ball Bros. butcher shop owned by the Casorso family back in 1904.
