Restaurants in Port Townsend

“Wonderful meal, excellent risotto, so creamy and delicious. Five of us are here for a bike weekender. We have our share of excellent restaurants in Portland, and this meal in Port Townsend was a standout!”

“The cafe serves good sandwiches and other breakfast and lunch dishes, but I have to say that the muffins here are the best I have ever eaten. Berry, mixed berry, sometimes peach is available. Get there early if you want one while they are still hot, or even still there at all. Try one, thank me later!”

“We recently started exploring the Olympic Peninsula and Port Townsend is one of our favorite stops. I'm so glad we made Tommyknocker's one of our first dining experiences. Friendly staff, perfect pasty, superb salmon chowder, and a cool comfy atmosphere. You gotta try it.”

“Great food. Great drinks. Wonderful staff.”

“Great dogs! Great Staff!!”

“Incredible beer and taproom. Fabulous day in Washington”

“We went for dinner looking for some fresh fish. I ordered the salmon and my husband ordered the halibut. Both were delicious! The clam chowder was just ok. The live music was nice.”

“Good breakfast and lunch place. Great for the $200 hamburger.”

“Love this place. I like getting a cider and sitting in the sun. Dog friendly and you can bring your own food. Always 2 choices od micro local ciders on tap and many beers to choose from plus many choices in cans besides the tap choices. My go to on sunny days. Great place to relax even if your alone. Nice vibe anytime and occasionally during the summer they have music. A locals hang out but welcomes all.”

“The food was so fresh and delicious!”

“excellent food and service! we will definitely be back!”

“Very friendly staff, great food, and reasonable prices”

“You have to stop in and say hi to Mr. Ed- such an expansive knowledge of the industry, but you’ll stand there longer than you plan to for great conversation and Belly laughs. This is the kind of experience a pot shop should aim for. Excellent selection and connection.”

“The flavors are wonderful and delicious”

“Music & Alpinfire cider is my choice”

“If you believe a great cup of coffee can set the tone for the entire day, Better Living Through Coffee is worth a stop.

The coffee was excellent - smooth, flavorful, and clearly made with care. What really stood out, though, was the atmosphere. The shop has a welcoming, laid-back vibe that makes you want to slow down, sip your drink, and stay awhile. The staff were friendly and genuinely seemed to enjoy what they do, which made the experience even better.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee before exploring Port Townsend or looking for a cozy place to relax, this is the kind of local coffee shop that’s easy to come back to. Great coffee, great people, and a place that lives up to its name.”

“We love Cafe Tenby! Delicious food, perfect tea, yummy pastries! So cozy. And excellent service.”

“Be forewarned: if you order iced coffee, they’ll put it in a hot coffee cup. When you walk around town condensation will form on the cup and it will begin to disintegrate. If you bring the situation to their attention they’ll just tell you to drink faster. Other than that, it was an excellent place; fast service; great location.”

“Always correct orders. Friendly and helpful employees. Best bet for a quick family meal. (Joke is: when it's my turn to cook we're getting Papa Murphy's.)”

“My favorite restaurant in the world! sg”

“Salt-of-the-earth establishment making solid beverage for busy folks. Parking is limited and coffee is in demand, so you might need to park across the street. Being right by the shipyard, this cafe offers insights into the working life of PT.”

“These cookies are some of the most amazing tasting cookies ever! Plus they are gluten free and vegan.”

“I’m a regular at Conduit and Jesse and Tara’s team have always been kind, creative, and professional. I’ve been here for coffee, art nights, and just to sit with the community conversations. The staff remember my order and my dog’s name.

The recent 1-star reviews are from people who have never set foot here. They are completely fabricated, defamatory, and do not reflect the reality of this cafe or the character of the people who run it.

If you’re local, come see for yourself. Bagel sandwiches and cream cheese is ONLY Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Wednesdays they have local artisan cupcakes, and Thursday they feature handpies by Crust bakery :) Grab some excellent small batch roasted coffee or a signature “Seaglass Matcha,” support a small biz, and leave your own honest review if you can. We love our friends and family in PT, WA. ❤ ☕ 🎨 🌞”

“Family friendly. Food is amazing in flavor and portions! We eat here every time we come to port Townsend !!”

“GREAT croissants and authentic pain chocolat!”

“Freshly baked bread and snickerdoodle cookies are so good! Everything I have tried has been delicious. Love supporting a local business that makes great baked goods.”

“The Nest is such a great space for kids. It's been so good for my youngest (12) as it's safe and so welcoming. To have a place I feel comfortable sending him off to on his own is a godsend. It allows for independence but also it's a little community of new friends. 😍”

“I like to be picky and cynical but WOW, Feista is so rad I have zero complaints and am deeply satisfied. It's comfortable in here, easy reliable fast service. Gentle, warm and worn atmosphere. Beautiful clay mugs for coffee and water. Phenomenal salsa (spicy, corful!) served right away with buttery- like crisp chips and delicious refried beans. I felt like I was home. Lol, you only say that when you're really hungry, well taken care of annnnd probably coming from another local Mexican restaurant that isn't anywhere near as good as this one. La Fiesta is the best Mexican restaurant in Port Townsend!”

“I love love love their tacos!!!”

“Very clean and great wait staff.”

“Delicious meal! Sweet and Sour dish and Spicy Eggplant were spectacular! Very nice ambience and wonderful service.”

“Partner and I spontaneously tried it one evening. It ended up being karaoke night. We did not sing but it was a great evening with a bunch of fun folks.”

“Wonderful experience at this restaurant! The food was outstanding! Friendly and professional service. The food came quickly and was presented beautifully and tasted delicious. I’ll be back for sure!”

“I recommend New Day Fisheries because it is owned by Scott Kimmel- a longtime veteran of the seafood industry and all-around great guy. His pickled herring has no equal in the industry.”

“Decouvert hier soir vraiment tres tres bon !!! Merciiiiii !!!”

“Delicious meal! Sweet and Sour dish and Spicy Eggplant were spectacular! Very nice ambience and wonderful service.”

“Our son recently got married in lovely Pt. Townsend. We needed to host 30 people for the groom's dinner. There are not many places in town that can accommodate that large of a crowd. However Jason was willing to offer our group his entire front room for this event. Being from out of town everything was arranged through one phone call and text messages. Jason recommended a family style dinner with three entrees, 4 appetizers and two additional sides. The food was amazing, the service was delightful, everyone was comfortable and well fed. I can't recommend this restaurant enough for the wonderful experience it gave us and fond memories for the newlyweds. This was quite a place for a destination wedding and our flawless experience with Jason made it even better. My only wish is he owned another one in Minneapolis, then maybe he'd be a Vikings fan!”

“This is real Mexican home cooked meals right in Jefferson County. Great drinks and great staff!”

“Great diner and a excellent lounge. The food is consistently good! Wonderful staff!”

“Excellent ice cream!!!!!🍦”

“Very comfortable with the service. Friendly and helpful. Burger was delicious. Finally a burger with bread and butter chips. Not a fan of dill pickles so thank you Cable Canteen.They just got a soft serve machine so next time I will get a cone. And there will be a next time.!”

“Visiting friends who live here. What a treat. Lots of menu choices. All four of us loved the food, service, cleanliness of restrooms, and friendly staff. Thank you.”

“I’ve paid way more than twice as much for seafood not half as good. Raised in Maine I know good seafood and this was better than anything I’ve ever had. His clam chowder and Deep fried Halibut are nothing short of the very best there is. Wonderful meal!”

“Banana Leaf is a favorite of ours for Asian food in PT, and it never disappoints. The dishes are delicious, and the spiciness on-target with our regular requests of 4 (pleasantly spicy) to negative 2 (not spicy at all). The servers are always friendly and helpful. Some of our favorite dishes are Golden Cashew, Rama, Massamun Curry, and Mango Ginger Duck.”

“Delicious! Not to be missed. I had the pork verde burrito and it was enough for several meals! Hubby had chicken mole and reported that it was very good. And....Tues evening - live music! Sweet!”

“Such a nice atmosphere. My hubby and I took a second trip to Port Townsend and after the first time in this town and coming to this bar. We made it a must go to stop here again. And we were not disappointed. Coming from a hectic, chaotic area of Washington, US being from Federal Way. This is our fun, really true relaxing, place to have a good time.”

“Wow! TBH I went here because they were open early but was pleasantly surprised by their service and coffee. The barista was intelligent and intuitive (didn’t need to ask, she just put a stopper on the coffee that wasn’t mine) and could clearly see I was in need of caffeine and didn’t mess around. They have peanut butter syrup (one of my faves) and white coffee. Great start to my day!”

“Really? You let this out of the kitchen? All I can say is you can do better than this. Didn’t even get the peanut sauce.”

“Great wine, great laughs and a wonderful experience! A time traveling town with an award winning winery! A must try place if you love wine!”

“Great spot for an afternoon beverage.
Staff were friendly and the locals were fun to chat to.
- A man drinking at the bar recognised that I was from the Land Down Under whilst ordering my beer, and without hesitation proceeded to remove his shoe, pour his pint into it and performed a perfect shoey, pure bliss! What a time to be alive..
Overall, positive experience.”

“very welcoming environment.”

“My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of getting some froyo here. There was an abundance of topping to choose from! The atmosphere was positive and the staff was so friendly! It was definitely so yummy!”

“I love their soups and the Cesar salad. They have a great selection of pizzas. I have been going there for years.”

“Great pizza. Poor service. Verified delivery Wednesday for Friday night. Was told no problem. Called today for a 6pm delivery and was told no delivery on Halloween. No where on your website does it mention no delivery on Halloween nor did anyone tell us that when we asked. Do better Waterfront Pizza.”

“The fish is always fresh tasting..never a drop of grease! Best cole slaw I've had in town. Great price for a full meal!!”

“Food was delicious and equal to the view as we were fortunate enough to grab a waterfront table on the deck on a beautiful day! Friendly staff and totally deserving of 5 stars!”

“Delicious food made by a family of pros. The cinnamon rolls are so moist, yeasty and full of cinnamon. In my opinion, the best in town.”

“I have had sushi all over the US and this is by far the best I ever had. Fresh and wonderfully prepared, there are also surprising combinations served by a knowledgeable and courteous staff. I wish I could afford to eat there every day.”

“Wonderful vibe and so unique! Food was awesome and the owners know their wine!”

“So pleased with the new girl! She remembered our drinks after the first time. Always greets us with smiles and friendly customer service! Thank you so much for being there and making us want to come back!”

“We were in the ferry line
Long day (hubs drives a tow truck,too busy to eat breakfast lunch or dinner) finally had a minute waiting in line ,called pizza factory ,1st rate service and awesome food! Hands down best pizza ever.Highly recommend”

“Loved your breakfast! Great job HPC!”

“Dinner on a Sunday in mid-May. Waterside/patio table was available. We didn't realize that they had just relocated/reopened a week prior. Well done team! The building is super cool. Tortillas, AMAZING. We made it there just in time for one happy hour order... fish taco and a margarita, yes please. Ended up ordering more off the regular menu and enjoyed every bite.”

“The coffee is always perfect and the service is always great. Friendly staff .”

“Fricken Yummy!”

“We stayed at the Marina RV Park for the weekend and decided to walk on over the night we got in. We had the BEST food and service, we loved it so much that we came back with some friends the next day for lunch. This place has quickly become one of our favorite restaurants, we will be back anytime we’re in Port Townsend. We were talking about that Prime Rib & Cheddar for the rest of the day and into the morning 😆🤤”

“Staff were awesome. Super friendly and quick. Food was amazing. Best food I’ve had in a very long time. I will be making a trip to Port Townsend from Ocean Shores soon mainly to eat here again. Highly recommend to everyone. I had the duck poutine and chicken club sandwich. Even the house salad was amazing.”

“Wow. My husband said the lamb bourguinon is mot only one of the best things he has eating at Alchemy, it is one of the best things he has eaten EVER. Thanks for yet another excellent meal Alchemy!”

“Muy buena comida y excelente atención”

“I stayed at the castle one night for a work trip. It has its charms, and its draw-backs. The hotel halls were a little slim, the steps a bit steep, and the bathrooms (king rooms only) were tiny. The first floor had a damp, musty smell that was off-putting; it made me grateful to be second floor. The minifridge in my room was particularly noisy, so those who don't like white noise might struggle. Finally, there doesn't appear to be AC in the rooms (but windows open and there is a small fan) - use caution if you're staying in summer.

Overall, due to the age of the hotel, it isn't a very accessible option. All that said, check-in was easy, staff were pleasant, my room was clean, and I didn't hear a lot of noise at night. If you need a simple (yet haunted?) place to sleep for a night while in town, and a bit of extra mobility and flexibility doesn't bother you, Manresa will meet your needs.”
