WAVE Journey's Recommended Restaurants in Bend, Oregon, USA.

Allyson's Kitchen
This isn't exactly a restaurant, but a gourmet marketplace that serves soups, salads, sandwiches,
gourmet meats and artisan cheeses.  Go in and take a look!  All the kitchen gadgets you can imagine,
along with a wonderful selection of wines.  Also offering cooking classes.

Staccato at the Firehall
WJ spent New Year's Eve 2007 enjoying a scrumptious five-course tasting menu presented by
Staccato's very talented executive chef, James Malone.  Offering an extensive wine list with which our
server was very familiar.  Dishes we recommend are:  bruschetta, fritto misto, gnocchi, Caesar salad,
chicken masala, wild boar pappardelle, cannoli and the "Chocolate Bar".

Jackalope Grill
Chef Tim Garland and his wife Kathy have a remarkable restaurant.  The location is a little off the
beaten track, but once you dine here you'll be sure to come back.  Reasonable prices and good portion
sizes; an excellent and extensive wine list; prompt and knowledgeable service; delectable,
mouth-watering food with excellent presentation are just a few of the reasons why we are looking
forward to returning to Jackalope Grill.  Kathy's Tiramisu is without a doubt "the best" we've tasted
anywhere.  WJ devoured the complimentary fresh baked bread.  When you go, you must try:
Dungeness Crab Stuffed Mushroom Caps (fantastic); Crisp Bibb Lettuce; Filet Mignon - pan seared eight
ounce filet of premium Angus beef (melts in your mouth).  Served with a classic brandy and green
peppercorn sauce and mashed potatoes; and hopefully they will have their grilled True Cod entree
available - unbelievably good.

Fireside Red American Tapas Lounge - Permanently Closed as of May 2009
Opening March 3, 2008 - WJ had the opportunity to sample some of Fireside Red's creations at their
soft-opening.  Tried, tested and recommended menu items: Herbed Asiago Stuffed Prawns;
Avocado-Scallop Ceviche; Crispy-skin Muscovy Duck Breast; Grilled Filet Mignon; Macaroni and cheese
with dungeness crab; Valrhona Molten Chocolate Souffle and Tiramisu.
The views alone from this restaurant will keep you coming back, as will the expansive deck for
good-weather dining.

Victorian Cafe
If a spicy, Bloody Mary is your thing, you're in for a treat at "The Vic".  Breakfast and lunch are their
claim to fame and they do it right.  Wonderful omelettes and plenty of choices for Eggs Benedict -
especially good is the Blue Crab Eggs Benedict.  Our only complaint was that once the burgers were
thrown on the grill at lunchtime, the restaurant venting system didn't adequately exhaust all the
grease smells.
1404 NW Galveston Avenue, Bend, Oregon.  Tel:  541-382-6411


McKay's Cottage
Open for breakfast and lunch.  Great Mimosas for only $4.50.  Tried and recommend the wonderfully
tasty, Croissant-Style French Toast and the Taos Benedict.  Expect to wait for a table on weekends, but
well worth it!  Home baked pastries, cinnamon buns, muffins and scones are also popular.

The Original Pancake House
WJ eats breakfast here at least a couple of times a month.  Obviously, the food must be great and
service prompt and friendly or we wouldn't keep going back.  Waffles, pancakes, French toast,
omelettes, eggs of any kind and much more will take care of your breakfast cravings.  They use real
whipping cream for their drip coffee - really great cup of Java!  Large portion sizes; excellent quality and
taste; reasonably priced menu.

Alpenglow Cafe
Another breakfast and lunch cafe that does a great job.  The reasonably-priced pancakes, omelettes,
coffee cake, side of potatoes and huervos rancheros are all excellent.  Another restaurant that has a
venting problem - resulting in having to do a load of laundry after dining there.
www.alpenglowcafe.com - 1133 NW Wall Street, Bend, Oregon.  Tel:  541-383-7676


Cafe Yumm!
Open for lunch and dinner.  Lots of vegetarian options, bowls, wraps, soup, salads and sandwiches to
choose from.  Great quality, good size portions, reasonably priced and pleasant atmosphere.  
Recommend the following Yumm! Bowls:  Original, Jazzy, Yumm! Baby and Edamame.
www.cafeyumm.com - The Shops at the Old Mill District, Bend.  Tel: 541-318-9866


Typhoon!
As far as we're concerned, this is the best place for Thai food in Bend.  Great flavors, reasonably priced
and adequate portions, along with a more upscale ambiance than you typically find in Thai restaurants
makes for a memorable experience at Typhoon.  Excellent fresh rolls, Tom Kai Gai soup, green and
Panang curry, cashew chicken and WJ raves about their eggplant lovers dish.
