4 Best Restaurants in Ocean Shores, The Olympic Peninsula and Washington Coast

Rediviva

$$$$ Fodor's choice

It's worth the half-hour drive around the harbor to historic downtown Aberdeen to dine at the region's most sophisticated restaurant, where seasonal, locally sourced ingredients appear in artfully plated creations like black cod with buttered oyster sauce, and braised rabbit with ricotta gnudi. Rediviva means renewed or revived, and much of the material—wood, metal, and glass—in the interior has been upcycled for a refined effect. There's also a great selection of Northwest wines and craft cocktails.

8th Avenue Ale House

$

Count on comforting, hearty Pacific Northwest pub fare at this long, narrow, and dimly lit eatery, with an ample selection of regional beer on tap. Look for pizza, seafood, and appetizers like deep-fried pickles, beer-battered mushrooms, crab cakes, and a pound of clams. Fish-and-chips, sandwiches, and burgers like the Naughty Nellie, with American and Swiss cheese and crushed red pepper, round out the menu. There's a small beer garden in back and more seating out front. Hoquiam is about a 30-minute drive from Ocean Shores. 

Ocean Beach Roasters & Bistro

$

Espresso, beer, wine, and a variety of sweet baked goods—including memorable cinnamon rolls and lemon bars—are served in this inviting roastery and bistro with a gas fireplace, cathedral ceilings, and a cozy upstairs loft with armchairs and sofas. The kitchen doles out creative fare such as blackened-prawn tacos and a harvest salad with hazelnuts and house-pickled beets.
