Top 10 Cape Cod Restaurants
Nothing goes better with a day at the beach than awesome seafood. From the French to the Japanese to the American variety, the top Cape Cod restaurants offer up some of the very best seafood – and food, in general – in the US.
Van Rensselaer’s Restaurant
Wellfleet
Wellfleet’s legendary oysters are at their best at Van Rensselaer’s Restaurant, showcasing fresh local catches and raw seafood.
The Ocean House Restaurant
Dennis Port
With a view of Nantucket Sound, the Ocean House Restaurant could probably get away with mediocre food. Nonetheless, its creative collection of entrees, including the Lobster and Asparagus Pizza and the Five Spice Roasted Long Island Duck Breast, are some of the best around.
Chillingsworth
Brewster
When it comes to the top Cape Cod restaurants, American seafood spots naturally dominate. But replace the typical fish dishes with French seafood and the ocean views with A 300-year-old estate, and you’ve got Chillingsworth. Indulge in a stately 3-course meal at the main restaurant, or a more casual bite to eat at the Bistro. The menu changes daily.
Keltic Kitchen
West Yarmouth
Get your day off to an energetic start with a traditional Irish breakfast at the Keltic Kichen. From the Cinnamon Bread French Toast to the Irish Farmhouse Breakfast (including eggs and sausage), your tummy won’t know what hit it.
Captain Linnell House
Orleans
The cozy and elegant rooms of this 1800s estate have been converted into dining rooms, so your view might be of a wood-burning fireplace or lily garden. The meals are just as tasteful. Try the Yellowfish Tuna or perhaps the Pork Tenderloin. And don’t forget to top it off with a signature drink!
Lobster Pot
Provincetown
The Lobster Pot overlooks Provincetown Harbor, and features award-winning recipes. The appetizers are a big hit; try the Oysters Rockefeller or the Blackened Tuna Sashimi, for starters. As you graduate to your main entrée, you’ll discover many more exciting options, from crab to sandwiches to, well, lobster, of course.
Brewster Fish House
Brewster
Once a simple fish market, the Brewster Fish House is now one of the Cape’s premier dining destinations. Despite its humble appearance – a small cottage – patrons expect nothing but the best seafood dishes here. Menu items include the Butter Braised Native Lobster and Grilled Atlantic Swordfish.
Naked Oyster Bistro and Raw Bar
Hyannis
Fresh and organic is the theme here. Whether you’re hungry for shrimp or beef, you’ll have plenty to choose from – the Naked Oyster Raw Bar Sampler is a favorite appetizer, and entrees more unique to the Cape, like the Asian Style Kobe Beef, are worth a try.
Old Yarmouth Inn
Yarmouth Port
This charming 1600s tavern isn’t just looks. Offering up a seasonal menu of fresh, fine food – featuring seafood to pasta – the Old Yarmouth Inn has been a favorite for decades. The Sunday brunch and wine selection are highlights.
Inaho Japanese Restaurant
Yarmouth Port
A little tired of the same old seafood? Then enjoy sublime Japanese food at Inaho, boasting the freshest ingredients from the nearby ocean. The teriyaki dinners are a favorite, and there’s a wide sushi selection.
Cape Cod beaches are legendary, but the restaurants give them a run for their money. In between fun on the water, make sure to squeeze in some delicious dining.
