3 Best Restaurants in Central Oregon, Oregon

Redmond’s new sit-down vegetarian restaurant may seem like an odd addition in a community known for its cattle ranching, but it’s been making a splash with locals and visitors alike with its plant-filled dining room and its beautifully presented plates and cocktails. The menu changes seasonally and relies heavily on produce sourced from Central Oregon farms.

The blended menu of Northwest specialties and Cajun influences has made this elegant but welcoming restaurant (named after a style of Creole music) a popular lunch and dinner spot for more than a decade. On the menu, fillet medallions, chicken, and pasta sit alongside jambalaya and redfish dishes. In warm weather, ask to sit on the patio.
