Home to Nelson's own locally-roasted coffee, Oso-Negro is a beautiful spot to sit and have coffee on a sunny day. The outdoor patio is beautiful! If you can only visit one coffee shop, this would be the one!

For a fine - dining night out to remember try the All Seasons Cafe. Will not disappoint!!
From their website:
The All Seasons Cafe opened its door in 1995 on a hunch that this cultured & notorious little mountain town would welcome a neighborhood bistro serving modern food with a savvy little wine list. Thankfully, that notion turned out to be just the case.
Akin to the name, we have a seasonal menu derived from the best of the area's local ingredients. Our food and wine is carefully prepared and served in a friendly atmosphere at a relaxed pace to customers as diverse as the town we live in.
