Four addresses for an actual meal plan

Chestnut Cottage is at 929 E Front Street, east of the central waterfront. Visit for breakfast or lunch: its current daytime schedule is 7 a.m.–3 p.m., with breakfast-only service on Sundays.

Kokopelli Grill’s menu at 203 E Front Street includes smoked salmon chowder with fire-roasted corn alongside its seafood and Southwestern dishes. Bella Italia at 118 E 1st Street is the central Italian-dinner option.

Next Door Gastropub is at 113 W 1st Street, with burgers, sandwiches, salads and a rotating tap selection. Choose it for a casual central meal. Menus and opening days can change; the linked restaurant pages are the practical next step. The coffee photograph above is illustrative and does not depict one of these restaurants.

Chestnut Cottage: breakfast or lunch east of downtown

Chestnut Cottage at 929 E Front Street is the breakfast-and-lunch choice, serving American daytime meals east of the central waterfront. Make it a slower-morning stop when breakfast is part of the outing.

The location suits drivers staying east of downtown. For a dawn park start, take breakfast with you and save the restaurant for another morning.

Kokopelli Grill: seafood with Southwestern flavors

Kokopelli Grill at 203 E Front Street pairs seafood with Southwestern flavors. Its smoked-salmon chowder with fire-roasted corn is a distinctive example, and the downtown location works well after a park day.

Choose it for a sit-down seafood meal. The current menu lists the dishes and options for your group.

Bella Italia: an Italian dinner in the center

Bella Italia at 118 E 1st Street is our Italian-dinner choice in the center. Put it on an evening after seafood or a pub meal for a change of menu during a longer stay.

Plan a sit-down dinner and browse the food menu before reserving. A downtown room makes the walk back part of an easy evening.

04 · Good food between adventures

Next Door Gastropub: a relaxed lunch or dinner

Next Door Gastropub serves burgers, sandwiches, salads, shareable dishes and dinner plates at 113 W 1st Street. It is the casual pick for a group with different appetites, with a rotating tap selection alongside the food.

Head here for an unhurried lunch or a central dinner after the park. For a late return, use the kitchen’s service hours to plan the meal.

Food for a park day or a ferry morning

Pack lunch for a park day when the tour excludes meals. A grocery stop is useful for buying supplies; the booking page lists what is included. Store food according to park wildlife guidance.

For an early ferry, have breakfast ready before check-in. A later sailing or tour start leaves room for a restaurant breakfast instead.

Stay within a walk of dinner

Stay at Red Lion for waterfront meals close to the room. Port Angeles Inn and Quality Inn put you above downtown with breakfast and parking included, plus an uphill walk back after dinner.

Our hotel comparison matches those locations to the stay. Restaurant descriptions are researched from venue and tourism information; our About page explains the editorial approach.
