Although it bills itself as a wine bar, this casually upscale dining room with local art on the walls is also one of the southern Oregon Coast's most sophisticated little restaurants. The dinner menu emphasizes freshly made pastas, often served with local seafood (the pan-seared jumbo shrimp over a saffron-parsnip puree is a standout).
Started in 1989 as a bait and tackle shop (which still exists next door), this casual short-order seafood spot has become a staple of Bandon's small but picturesque riverfront boardwalk, renowned for its crab cakes, fish tacos, crab and bay shrimp sandwich, and house-smoked salmon. Open only until 6 pm, it's a reliable bet for lunch or a very early dinner.
Just a block from the town boardwalk on the Coquille River and an array of colorful boutiques and art galleries, this casual counter-service coffeehouse has a handful of indoor and sidewalk tables. In addition to serving a wide range of coffees and teas, the café serves house-baked bagels with a variety of toppings along with breakfast sandwiches, eggs-and-avocado toast, and biscuits and gravy, along with hearty sandwiches at lunch.
His lordship has a lot going for him: a cliff-top setting, a comfortable and spacious dining area in a dramatic contemporary building, sunsets visible through picture windows overlooking Face Rock Beach, and occasional live music on weekends. The upscale menu features plenty of steaks and local seafood; try the nut-crusted halibut, Pacific lingcod with a coconut curry sauce, or wild prawns with garlic butter and sherry.
