Restaurants in Oregon
Silky Dungeness crab, local oysters, hearty chowder, fish ‘n’ chips, and even extraordinary tuna (cooked in the can) make a trip along Oregon’s ravishing coast a seafood lover’s dream. But the Beaver State is more than its coast. It’s also the outdoorsy/ counter culture vibe and worldly cuisine of Eugene and the inland beauty and country food of Bend. Berries are big through much of the state, a bounty reflected in pies and cobblers and at roadside stands; and Oregon hazelnuts will be found on salads, in pie crusts, and even in milk shakes. Coffee consciousness is elevated, and artisan brewing shops are everywhere, their good lattes accompanied by scones and croissants and cakes and cookies that are world-class.
