For a first timer in the community I found the Bear's Paw Cafe a great place to find out anything I needed to know. Staff were very friendly, food was creative and very tasty and visitors were talkative. I'd go back in a heart beat! More

My husband and I live in Wells and go to 'The Paw' about once a month. Cheryl's steaks, ribs and Thai dishes have to be experienced to really be appreciated. Dave and Cheryl also do nature tours which can be viewed up on the big screen as one enjoys the food and the company of both local and not-so-local folks.... More

Get the ribs! Dave and Cheryl have a small menu of specialty items they do as well as any restaurant can. It's a pricey place for a town like Wells and in the summer they can be overrun with customers and service suffers, but it's worth the food. Get the double order of ribs, it's worth the $3 extra dollars.... More

What a wonderful experience we had in Canada for our 40th wedding anniversary. The Bear's Paw Restaurant was a delightfully unexpected highlight. One of those gems you didn't expect to find on your travels but turns out to be one of your best experiences. The Bears Paw is found in Wells on the Barkerville Highway on the way to or... More

The Thai noodles were amazing.... It was a nice small resturant. The kids meals were really expensive and had very littl portions. We had to buy them more food after because they were all still hungry. Don't expect to have Internet service at dinner time as they turn it off but don't tell you until you have already ordered.

Thanks for enjoying the meals at the Bear's Paw. The Thai noodle sauce we make really is great, and Cheryl has absolutely perfected the art of Prawn! The kids meals are $5.95 to $7.95 and purposefully designed for simple tastebuds so that parents can come and enjoy a fine meal without breaking the bank on their kids. For most children... More

Highly recommended, a don't-miss place for dinner, lunch, and morning coffee. If you stop at one place in Wells B.C. stop here. All meals are excellent: the Tai, the steak, the ribs, the salmon, the salads... oh the salads! A great selection of beer with friendly hosts Dave and Cheryl and excellent chefs in the kitchen. A must place to... More
