2 Best Restaurants in Port Townsend, The Olympic Peninsula and Washington Coast

Local artwork lines the walls of this cozy, eclectic bistro inside a historic clapboard building a block off the main drag, near the foot of the Taylor Street staircase. The delicious seafood- and pasta-intensive menu reveals Mediterranean and Pacific Northwest influences—think cioppino with local shellfish in a tomato-saffron broth, and roasted walnut and gorgonzola penne with wild boar. There's a notable list of regional and Italian wines, and several imported ports and sherries to accompany any of the rich desserts.

Cozy and eclectic, this little gem tucked away on a downtown side street uses locally sourced, organic ingredients in its flavorful portobello banh mi sandwiches, lamb kofta kebabs, pork belly burritos, and dinner salads. A colorful owl mural on the back wall watches over a dining room decorated with plants, patterned tablecloths, and local works of art.
