Dining in the Islands
Fine dining in the San Juan Islands means tasty food—often locally produced—served in a laid-back atmosphere (forget the jacket and tie). Many of the islands’ restaurants take advantage of the bounty from local growers. Consider adding a local wine, beer, cider or spirit to your meal in these establishments—labels from San Juan Vineyards, Orcas Island Winery and Lopez Island Vineyards & Winery are featured on many of their wine lists.
