Favorite places to eat on Cape Cod

Places To Eat The following recommendations are highly personal and not subject to any outside influence. We didn't sell advertising space here!! If a restaurant isn't listed here, either we've never been there or we went and didn't like it. We've opted for the philosophy that if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything. We wanted this information to reflect our experience of living on the Cape. Eating out here is a minor sport, like yardsailing.

Harwich Ay, Caramba! Strictly authentic Mexican food in a tiny restaurant near us. George's Pizza 432-3144, 564 Route 28. At Cross St. Pizza and Greek salad to go, or they'll deliver. Greeks rule pizza on the Cape, and it all started with George. L'Alouette You'll think you are in the French countryside for the pride and talent of these restaurateurs. Great value. A must!! Cape Sea Grille Elegant and delicious dining, but I wish the tables weren't so close together. Harwichport House of Pizza 432-1047, 737 Route 28, by Saquatucket Harbor: Famous for calzones, which taste best when well done (in our opinion.)

Brewster Brewster Fish House Restaurant 896-7867, Route 6A. For lunch and dinner. The lobster bisque is the best soup on Cape Cod! Always crowded; call ahead. My personal favorite. Chillingsworth 896 3640, www.chillingsworth.com, Route 6A. There really are two restaurants here. The Bistro is excellent but crowded. The main dining room was a Cape Cod original a la francaise, but now there are many other fine dining spots throughout the Cape. It's never been the same for me since our soup course was served in coffee cups instead of proper bouillon cups. And chipped dishes, too!! Seedy setting, exquisite cuisine. Vive la France! Beechcroft Inn and English Tea Room 896-9534, www.beechcroftinn.com, 1360 Route 6A. English high tea! Hyacinth Bucket would approve! The Brewster General Store Our favorite place for a cup of coffee or cider and a donut after church on Sunday. Cafe Al Fresco A treat for breakfast or lunch, indoors or out. Where else can you get capers in your Eggs Crostini? The prices for breakfast are a real bargain, and we enjoy the continental twist to the menu. Setucket Farms Great take-out sandwiches and treats for a picnic at a nearby bay beach. Beautiful looking, and they even grow some of the items they sell.

Dennis The Red Pheasant Inn Many wonderful evenings here enjoying luscious cuisine, well served in a charming environment. Excellent wine list. Artistry everywhere. Contrast 385 9100, 605 Route 6A, Dennis Village. Bistro food in a stylish setting. A feast for the eyes!

Yarmouth Jack's Outback Off of Route 6A somewhere in Yarmouthport, one quarter of a mile west of the Parnassus Book Service, near a decorator shop and Inaho, in back of some stores. Ask someone. Everyone knows this place. Jack's Outback: a parlor for pessimists; probably the worst restaurant on the east coast with prices to match and rude employees; not worth trying to find in spite of the Edward Gorey art. Stay home; the lines are too long and parking's a bitch. We've been putting up with its great food and good prices for 20 years, and it never changes. Inaho 362-5522; 157 Route 6A. Japanese cuisine and ambiance - refreshingly different and relaxing. It's not all raw, so not everyone has to experience sushi.

Orleans Captain Linnell House White linen tablecloth dining in an old mansion. The wisteria vines over the building's facade are enchanting. Land Ho! The perfect pub for a burger lunch any time of year. We think it is too crowded at night.

Chatham The Squire Lunch or dinner on the restaurant side is always dependable and popular. The Impudent Oyster Great soups, and you'll never be disappointed with anything else on the menu. But don't go if it is crowded. Pate's Where's the beef? At Pate's. Not for vegetarians. And if you order dessert, you are overeating. Chatham Provisions 432-7126 www.chathamprovisions.com, 1403 Old Queen Anne Road at Route 137. Quick stop deli and bakery. Gen X hits Cape Cod, and just in time! We dream about the almond croissants. Luscious Louie's Take out bakery and coffee shop. Pastry beyond all expectations! Asian Eatery When only real Chinese will do!!! Love that ginger!! Chatham Bars Inn A drink on the verandah on a summer's eve or a table with a waterview any time of year - who cares about the conventional menu! You go here for the decor, including deluxe, bordering on the snooty, service. In season, there's a dress code for people not staying at the hotel, but most guests are at the hotel, so you might feel overdressed.

Provincetown Ross's Grille The view! The food! Informal, but excellent.
