      0 comments

    Each issue, we feature things we love about coastal dining from the readers and staff of Coast Explorer Magazine. Here are our spring picks:

    Savory Croissants at Cannon Beach Bakery
    These stuffed croissants from Cannon Beach Bakery are delectable and great for a grab and go meal. Try the turkey and Swiss or the ham and cheddar for a light lunch or as a quick breakfast. And, if you want, they’ll pop them in the microwave or toaster oven to warm your buns. Cannon Beach Bakery, 240 North Hemlock, (503) 436-0399.

    The Bay House World of Wines
    The award-winning wine list at The Bay House has an emphasis on Northwest and California wines, but currently features over 2000 selections from around the world. The Bay House, 5911 SW Highway 101 in Lincoln City, (541) 996-3222.

    Fabulous Fish & Chips from the Bowpicker
    We can’t get enough of the fare from Bowpicker Fish & Chips in Astoria. Firm chunks of fresh albacore tuna, lightly beer-battered and served on a thick bed of steak fries. Cooked and served from the bow of a real gillnet boat parked (on land) across from the Columbia River Maritime Museum on the corner of 17th and Duane Street in Astoria.

    The Depot’s Chef’s Table
    We love the Chef’s Table at The Depot, where you get a great dinner and entertainment, too! Watch the action in the kitchen while the chefs work their magic. You might even get to taste a creation in progress! The Depot Restaurant, 1208 38th Place in Seaview, (360) 642-7880.

    Dooger’s Sweet Potato Fries
    Satisfy that sweet and salty craving with the tasty sweet potato fries we found at Dooger’s. Light, colorful and crispy, they’re great with a sandwich or a cup of chowder! Dooger’s Seafood & Grill has locations in Cannon Beach, Long Beach, Seaside and Warrenton.

    Rockfish Bakery Sandwiches
    We love the sandwiches on fresh-baked bread at Rockfish Bakery in Lincoln City. Some of our favorites: house-roasted turkey with sun-dried tomato mayo and grilled veggie with spicy cream cheese. Rockfish Bakery, 3026 NE Highway 101 in Lincoln City, (541) 996-1006.
