But, it’s all about the crab and working to get each little bite of deliciousness! Our other favorite place in Newport is in the historic Bayfront area. We always forget that and order the onion rings extra and have way too much to eat. We split the crab, which comes with a pile of french fries. Yum! Speaking of Dungeness Crab, we NEVER leave without a visit to this place on Highway 101, south of the bridge in Newport! It’s a fish market, grocery store, and has fresh steamed crabs and incredible onion rings. I don’t remember what this was called, but it had fresh cod, Dungeness Crab and bay shrimp. We ate at ICM on the docks, overlooking the boats with a view of the bridge in Old Town Florence, an absolutely charming place. I don’t get there every trip, but this is worth the drive. Lovely and tasty while looking out at that beautiful beach and Haystack Rock! I love the little bay shrimp every which way! While I’m showing you beautiful plates, here’s one I had in Florence this time. This year, we visited Mo’s at Otter Rock on a rainy day for the chowder and then also stopped at the one on Cannon Beach, where I had the Shrimp Medley. I go back for the Clam Chowder and the Garlic Cheese Bread.
We like the one at Otter Rock, although I’ve been to the one in Newport (the original) and the one at Cannon Beach. On the Oregon coast, you can find Mo’s in several locations. This isn’t unique to the world certainly, but it’s a much anticipated treat for us. Farmer John’s has produce and zinnias and hazelnuts if we get there during the harvest, but we stop for the Strawberry Shortcake with a warm biscuit topped with strawberries, ice cream and whipped cream. In Oregon, I’ve found some favorites that I return to every year while still searching out new places and new tastes! Here are my recommendations!įirst, there’s Farmer John’s in McMinnville, a stop we make traveling to the coast from Portland. Little cafes, local people, local foods are part of the experience. One should always sample the local foods while traveling – right? I try never to go to a national chain restaurant, except for a Dairy Queen dip cone, unless there is nothing else around.
