CULINARY NOTES ON FERNIE
A TASTE OF THE ELEMENTS
Warm, dry fall evenings are perfect for enjoying patio time as the sinking sun paints
the sky in stripes of mandarin, rose and lavender. Taste the sunset when you sample
the cocktails at Cirque, Island Lake or Fernie Distillers, where handcrafted spirits
are carefully concocted with fruits dried in-house and fresh foraged herbs. For
Fernie’s only rooftop patio experience head to The Curry Bowl for delicately spiced
satay and Pad Thai, or after a day on the river, the Bridge Bistro is the place to be
for fish and chips and a pint of FBC beer.
In Historic Downtown Fernie, streetside patios remain on 2nd until Mid-October,
so there’s plenty of time to enjoy them before winter arrives, or settle in beneath
infra-red heaters at the garden patio at Nevados and be transported to Latin
America with a house specialty Uno Mas Margarita. If you just can’t wait for winter,
meet Fernie’s newest locals at Kodiak Lounge and soak up the excitement for snow!
POSTPONED TILL SPRING 2020
The creative minds at Cryptic Hive
mark the change in the seasons with
an evening of hyper-sensory dinner
theatre. From the moment you arrive

to stimulate the senses based on the
5 elements of Fire, Air, Water, Earth
and Spirit. Costumed oracles will
guide guests through the forest to the
20-metre geodesic dome, fully video
mapped by Beama Visuals. Within the
dome, every aspect will contribute to
the elemental story including aerial
acrobatics from Circus Acts Insomniacs
and visual theatrics from Made in
Alchemy, sound from Melo.nade and
costumes from BellaV. Sensational
tastes will include curated cocktails
from master mixologists and tapas-
style dining from some of Fernie’s best
