Food Scene

Best "fast" food and outdoor dining on the island. Fresh, local foods - my favorite is the #11: sesame rice cakes with seared tempeh, steamed veggies and lime-peanut-miso sauce. Best kid dining, too.

Holy Moly. Fresh local seafood and fine dining right on the water. Our favorite restaurant bar none. Get a reservation - or get a place at the bar for a burger and martini. Most romantic dining.

Beautiful food at the cafe, bakery and deli. Gourmet cheeses, olives, wine, dry goods + fine dining. Grab some picnic supplies and head to the lake - or back to the house.

Matthew’s Smokehouse at the Deer Harbor Inn offers amazing smoked ribs, brisket and pulled pork - as well as great sides, salads and their traditional signature fried chicken. To go, eat in or on the patio overlooking Deer Harbor.

Fresh shellfish, fish and chips and bistro menu - eat on picnic tables overlooking the bay. Fun social scene and great food. Kids can run around with the resident chickens. Beer and wine.

Nice local tavern with friendly folk and basic menu. Get the MRF burger (in season) with fresh Maple Rock Farm greens (and bacon!). Watch sports on TV.

Really good pizza, beautiful outdoor dining (limited indoor) overlooking Deer Harbor Marina. Nice folks. We love the seasonal squash pizza with caramelized onions and balsamic reduction. Also, the regulars like pepperoni and Hawaiian. Beer, wine and great beet salad.

Beautiful, local food - mostly vegetarian, but occasional meat specials. Best for brunch. Check out the rugged shoreline and take a soak in their hot tubs. Live music.

Amazeballs food and family goodness. Best sandwiches on island. Best Banh Mi (or get it gluten free on rice noodles). Fun to sit outside and watch the Eastsound scene go by.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! And this stuff is the bomb: Lopez Island Creamery scoops. Creamy, local made and lots of interesting seasonal flavors and ingredients. Each shop that sells it gets to invent their own flavor - ask about theirs. My summer favorite is a split scoop of Skagit Strawberry with Vanilla.

Donuts. Fresh donuts while you wait. And, amazing good fresh food. Sit down meals on the patio overlooking the ferry landing - or take it with on your ferry ride. I love their seasonal veg and quinoa bowl. John loves their chicken pot pie.

Sightseeing

Swim in Cascade Lake - great playground for kids and boat rentals. Favorite hike is around Mountain Lake - and best swim, too. Good fishing and lots of trails to explore.

Great hike and views. Check out the Garry Oak Savannah.We prefer the South trailhead up to the turtle head (find the mariner's compass) - or do the whole loop from North to South. Bring water. Port-a-potty at South Trailhead parking lot.
