We discoverd the Bear's Paw while we stayed in Wells for some days. The atmosphere is great, the food marvelous (you would not expect such meals in Wells!) and well- they even have my favourite Single Malt Whisky. I keep the secret, it's also David's favourite ;-) What shall I say, we hope to come back and- thank you very... More

Very simply - really enjoyable fare and atmosphere. The kids dined on steak and ribs while dad had prawns with caesar salad. The vegetables fresh and crisp and the meat succulent. The added bonus was the prompt and courteous attention of our server `Lynn` who at once welcomed us and set us at ease - a kind and generous individual!... More

My wife and I ate here twice when staying in Wells and both meals were fantastic. They were very respectful of dietary issues and went out of their way to accomodate our issues around lactose intolerance and being gluten free. The service was great and the owners were very friendly and an absolute fountain of knowledge regarding outdoor activities in... More

What friendly owners! We love chatting with people when we travel and they were full of stories - not to mention great food, delicious desserts and wonderful small town hospitality. If you are in Wells or Barkerville, you MUST eat here!

Called in here while we were stopping in Wells - the cafe has a great atmosphere, and the staff/owners were really friendly and conversational. The food was great - especially the ribs!

Be sure to stop at the Paw in Wells. The owners are fantastic and the food is delicious. They also lend out umberella's if you get caught in a suprise downpour. I highly recommend this restaurant.
