Did you know the Oregon Coast is a foodie haven? With an eclectic mix of restaurants peppered along the 350 miles of coastlines and beach towns, you’ll find something unique anywhere you go. Taste the flavor of the region with these quintessential food experiences on the Oregon Coast.
Marionberry
The fruit spread of choice in our pocket of the west coast, the marionberry, is the pride and joy of Oregonians throughout the state. A unique moniker for the blackberry species created and grown in Oregon. Residents prefer it so much that it has been petitioned to be the official state berry. As you’re heading down the coast, stop in Newport and see what all the fuss is about. Grab a slice of marionberry pie at Chalet Restaurant and Bakery.
Dungeness Crab
Oregon Dungeness crab is an international favorite known for its sweet flavor and tender meat. You can find plenty of restaurants along the coast serving up tasty dishes highlighting this local delicacy. Visit one of the top-rated places in Newport for Dungeness crab at Local Ocean Seafoods. For years, they have been preparing the freshest caught seafood on the coast. Try the roasted garlic and Dungeness crab soup before exploring the rest of the impressive menu.
Handcrafted Cocktails on the Coast
Nothing completes a dinner experience like an excellently prepared cocktail. In Lincoln City, at family-owned and operated Kyllo’s at the Beach, diners can enjoy specialty cocktails made with fresh juices and homemade syrups. The creative combinations make a perfect complement to a tasty waterside feast.
Tillamook Creamery
Spend a day in Tillamook. Learn more about the creamery and processes used to turn locally sourced dairy into premium grade products like ice cream, flavorful cheeses, and more. Make sure you go on an empty stomach, so you have room to experience decadent mac and cheese with a seasonal twist, juicy burgers topped with gooey cheese, or a refreshingly creamy ice cream cone from the café.
