Fernie does well on the gastro scale as well with a variety of ethnic eateries, and newcomers like Picnic are pushing the high-end, trendy culinary scene in town. For a small town, it boasts specialties like a chocolate shop, cheese shop, and amazing bakeries. The best beef jerky you’ll ever eat is found at the Fernie Meat Market, one of the two local butcher shops, which will also pack wild game for successful local hunters.
