Fine Dining, Minutes from Your Home Base

Just down the road in Fort Assiniboine, Gems Café & Bistro serves up farm-to-table meals, fresh coffee, and live music in a warm, inviting setting. It’s the perfect spot to unwind after a day on the river or catch a taste of the local community.

After a day exploring trails, fishing the river, or unwinding by your RV, picture this: a beautifully prepared dinner just 2 minutes away from Woodlands RV. No long drives needed. At Gems Cafe & Bistro, you’ll find a warm, welcoming space where friendly service make you feel like a neighbor. 

Why Gems feels different?
It’s our region’s only true farm-to-table kitchen. Every ingredient tells a story—of nearby fields, local ranchers, and Fort Assiniboine’s seasons. When you dine here, you’re not just treating yourself: you’re nourishing our community.

Here’s how:
For every dollar spent at Gems, far more stays local than at ordinary restaurants. They source over 80% of their ingredients from farms and producers within 50km—meaning your meal directly supports your neighbors’ livelihoods, helps small family farms thrive, and keeps our food heritage alive.
