Unwind with fresh seafood, craft beverages and gourmet dining off highways 30 and 26.
Start your foodie trip at Blackberry Bog Farm on Highway 30 just east of Astoria. That will set the stage for all that happens just down the road. Grab an Italian-inspired lunch at Gaetano’s Market and Deli, authentic Pho at Pho Mekha, or if in the mood for fish and chips and chowder, gorge at South Bay Wild Fish House. Thirsty? Whet your whistle with craft beverages at Pilot House Distilling or Fort George Brewery. After a hike (or nap!), enjoy dinner at Daphne or Bridgewater Bistro. When heading home via Highway 30, stop at Astoria Sunday Market and at FishStix Seafood Market in Warrenton for take-home goodies. Or if Saturday return is your plan, rest your head at Commodore Hotel. In the morning, grab a Scandinavian inspired breakfast at Broder Strand, and stop at the Clatskanie Farmers Market for fresh produce on your way back through Hwy 30.
If you head south to Seaside, grab lunch at Osprey Cafe or along the Necanicum River at Chalkboard Cafe. After a long walk on the beach, peruse crafts at the seasonal Seaside Farmers Market, or get a refreshing cone at Sea Star Gelato. Soon it’s dinner time, if you have a vacation rental or a cooler with you, go to Bell Buoy for fresh seafood and make dinner.
In Cannon Beach, walk into Cannon Beach Bakery for the aroma-enticing baked goods, and grab a sandwich for a beach picnic. The Stephanie Inn offers oceanfront lodging and dining. Choose between its upscale dining room or the more casual seafood-centric Wayfarer Restaurant. Evening is best spent with a pint at Public Coast Brewing or Pelican Brewing, or sample a flight of Scottish whiskeys and a dessert at MacGregor’s Whiskey Bar and Restaurant or at Pilot House Distilling. Daybreak is sublime at Sea Level Bakery with their single-origin coffee and treats. Before heading home, pick up freshly caught fish at Ecola Seafoods, a picnic of fish and chips, or local produce at Cannon Beach Farmers Market.
