The Pelican Pub and Brewery in Pacific City |
(Pacific City, Oregon) - Dining along the Three Capes Loop
means jaw-dropping views in little towns like Neskowin, Pacific City,
Netarts and Oceanside. The restaurants here are few and far between, and
merely a handful, but their menus boast a wide variety of culinary possibilities.
One is actually a tiny B&B that serves up some awe-inspiring grub
for guests, while others are legendary beachfront eateries that can even
come with famed microbrews.
You’ll find them in diverse little burghs like Pacific
City, Oceanside, Tillamook Bay and even Rockaway Beach, and some are often
known for their family atmospheres as well as accommodating grown ups
in happy ways.
Meridian Restaurant & Bar, Pacific City. A soaring ceiling with hardwood exposed native wooden beams gives way to tall windows that provide a stunning ocean view. The centerpiece to this dreamy atmosphere is a towering fireplace that doubles the cozy yet shimmering, seamless ambiance. The other centerpiece is the catch of the day and seafood that’s already become famous. All dishes sourced from Northwest farms, most entrees are $20 to $30, some up around $45. The menu changes periodically, but a sampling of approaches includes: A smoked, black cod with pickled mustard seed, grilled cauliflower steak in a burnt carrot mole, abalone with mushrooms, or a rockfish rapini that graced with wasabi, Cara Cara orange and hot honey. Innovative breakfasts take on delights like hash pork confit or eggs benedict. Brunch and lunch menu features burgers, crab cakes, plenty of seafood and salad options. 33000 Cape Kiwanda Dr. Pacific City, Oregon. 503.483.3000. Meridian Restaurant website.
