Where to Eat Nana s Irish Pub Want to know where the locals eat, a lot? Nana s Irish Pub in the heart of Nye Beach. The hearty home-cooked comfort food of Nana s is what locals crave in the winter, but also in the summer and the spring you get the picture. Pub food is an art form at Nana s, with particular specialties being their Bunratty Reuben sandwich piled with house-made corned beef, steamy chicken pot pie, and perfect fish and chips. The full bar serves everything from Guinness on tap (of course) to rotating mixed drink specials. Ever had chocolate brandy bread pudding? You have to at Nana s. Save room. Nana s is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner. 613 NW 3rd St in Nye Beach (541) 574-8787 www.nanasirishpub.com Asiatico It s a little confusing figuring out how to enter Asiatico, the Asian-fusion restaurant on the Bayfront, but follow the signs and stick with it it s worth it. If the weather cooperates you can eat out on their waterfront deck. The main event at Asiatico, at least for me, is sushi. The sushi chefs here prepare artistic rolls with creative combos of ingredients. Try the Asiatico Roll (eel, avocado, cucumber, masago, spicy sauce, topped with smoked salmon, black caviar and Japanese mayo) or the Fire Dragon Roll, a classic combination of spicy salmon inside topped with fresh slices of salmon and avocado. The menu includes non-sushi main dishes as well, and you ll often find fleeting specials using fresh, local fish. Make sure to compliment your dinner with one of their many sake choices. Asiatico is open seven days a week and you can eat in or take out. 875 SW Bay Blvd on the Bayfront (541) 265-8387 www.asiaticofusion.net Local Ocean No Newport dining list is complete without Local Ocean, the hopping spot on the Bayfront that focuses on fresh, locally-caught seafood. Where do I start with Local Ocean recommendations? The addictive fish tacos? The unbelievable tuna poke with mandarin oranges that I have tried, and failed, to replicate at home? The Dungeness crab po boy accompanied by perhaps the best French fries in Newport? Or maybe the warm, hearty Brazilian seafood stew. You have to taste it to believe it but it s all good at Local Ocean. Even something as simple as fish and chips is transformed into an event. With the opening of an upstairs dining room (my favorite spot and worth the wait for a table), they ve increased their capacity, but if you have to wait for a table, the good news is that a walk along the Bayfront is a lovely overture to dinner. If you plan on
cooking while in Newport, Local Ocean also has a seafood market. Local Ocean is open daily for lunch and dinner. 213 SE Bay Blvd on the Bayfront (541) 574-7959 www.localocean.net Georgie's Beachside Grill Something magical happens when the sounds and smells of the sea complement what s on your plate. It s harmony. Just visit Georgie s Beachside Grill and be prepared to experience this melding of mouthwatering Northwest flavors and unparalleled views. From expertly prepared halibut to local favorite Diablo Seafood Pasta and with vegetarian, gluten-free and kids menu options Georgie s is the perfect venue to refuel, relax and enjoy the best of the Oregon Coast. 744 SW Elizabeth St. (541) 265-9800 www.georgiesbeachsidegrill.com Clearwater Interested in dinner (or brunch!) and a show? The newest addition to Newport s culinary scene is Clearwater, located on Port Dock One overlooking the ever-entertaining cavorting sea lions of the Bayfront. The bright, modern-yet-cozy interior complements the fresh, local, seasonal menu perfectly. Try the Dungeness crab mac and cheese, the halibut fish and chips, the duck confit sliders, or the roasted rabbit stuffed with local mushrooms. The menu will change and evolve, so be sure to come back frequently. Happy hour at the Clearwater s gorgeous upstairs bar features creative cocktails, happy hour specials, and the best view around. Clearwater is open seven days a week, with brunch served on Saturdays and Sundays. 325 SW Bay Blvd on the Bayfront (541) 272-5550 www.clearwaterrestaurant.com Saffron Salmon Perched on the end of a pier on the Bayfront is a Newport culinary delight: Saffron Salmon, home to Northwest cuisine and wines, served with one of the best views around. Salmon (mostly local, all sustainably caught) is served here in a pan-roasted preparation as well as grilled on sandwiches and salads, but salmon is only the beginning. I love the small plate of flash-fried Brussels sprouts, the Caesar salad, the calamari, and especially, the crab and shrimp cakes, which are made with almost no filler but somehow manage to hold together beautifully. Other great choices from their menu include the grilled lamb burger (with meat from nearby Walker Farms), the crab BLT, and the hearts of palm risotto to which salmon, pink shrimp, grilled prawns, or
grilled Portobello mushrooms can be added. They have a great wine list as well, and who can resist warm bread pudding with white chocolate and dried cherries, served with a spiced amaretto sauce and whipped cream? Saffron Salmon is open for lunch and dinner Thursday through Tuesday. 859 SW Bay Blvd on the Bayfront (541) 265-8921 www.saffronsalmon.com Abby's Legendary Pizza 932 North Coast Highway (541) 265-9336 Agate Beach Golf Course Cafe 4100 N Coast Hwy (541) 265-7331 Arctic Circle 340 N Coast Hwy (541) 265-7822 Arr Place 143 SW Cliff St (541) 265-4240 Bay Haven 608 SW Bay Blvd (541) 265-7271 Brewer's On the Bay 2320 OSU Drive
