Wenatchee is the largest city in the North Cascades and features the most variety when it comes to dining. It’s home to the most ethnically diverse cuisine in the region, including several Mexican restaurants as well as Italian, Thai, Japanese, Chinese, and others. The self-proclaimed "Apple Capital of Washington," this is the place to try to the fruit in a variety of forms, sweet and savory.
Bavarian-themed Leavenworth offers a number of restaurants specializing in traditional German fare as well as Southern barbecue and American pub fare. Wine enthusiasts might want to make a stop in the Lake Chelan region, home to some two-dozen wineries. Craft-beer lovers won’t want to miss the riverfront breweries in both Winthrop and Twisp.
Located on the edge of a pear orchard in Cashmere, this family-owned bakeshop has an unusual and appealing industrial–vintage-farmhouse feel. It offers up some of the region's best breads and pastries, from bread pudding to almond meringue cookies to lemon cheesecake. Enjoy an espresso or European-style sandwich (baguette, butter, cured meats, cheeses) at a picnic table indoors or on the sunny patio anchored by a modern, concrete water feature and lots of lavender.
3898 Old Monitor Rd., Cashmere, Washington, 98815, USA
Tucked beside the popular Glover Street Market, this bakery is justly renowned for both savory and sweet treats, including—most famously—cinnamon "twisps" (the bakery's own decadent version of cinnamon rolls). Note that they often sell out by late morning, so arrive early if you want to get one. There are also smoothies, milk shakes, and build-your-own sandwiches.
A sylvan hilltop overlooking the Methow Valley sets the scene for an extraordinary dining experience featuring upscale Pacific Northwest cuisine with local and often organic ingredients, artfully presented and served in an elegant yet unpretentious, wood-filled setting. Highlights include chicken curry soup, mushroom strudel, prime beef tenderloin, and Columbia River steelhead. Desserts vary by the season: apple pie with house-made ice cream is a fall favorite, while pavlova with sugared cranberries is refreshing in winter. Beignets make an appearance on the breakfast menu, along with a tasty BLTA croissant. The 3,500-bottle wine cellar is one of the best and most extensive in the region.
604 Patterson Lake Rd., Winthrop, Washington, 98862, USA
A beloved downtown gastropub with rustic brick walls and soaring wood-beam ceilings, McGlinn's serves elevated comfort fare, including cavatappi with chipotle sauce, lamb tzatziki burgers, and wood-fired pizzas with inventive toppings (the blueberry-prosciutto is a favorite). There's an extensive craft-beer list, and desserts are worth saving room for. Hearty breakfasts of beer bread French toast, fried chicken with biscuits and gravy, and scrambles are served weekends.
111 Orondo Ave., Wenatchee, Washington, 98801, USA
The cheerful café at this budget-minded downtown inn is open only seasonally, but it's one of the very best spots in the area for lunch and, especially, breakfast. Bagel sandwiches, smashed avocado on desem bread (a mild sourdough bread), a choice of four scrambles, and several kinds of burrito wraps are the perfect sustenance for a day of hiking, boating, or wine touring.
204 E. Wapato Ave., Chelan, Washington, 98816, USA
If you need a handy stop for breakfast or lunch, or takeout provisions for a picnic in the North Cascades, this gluten-free bakery featuring tasty, made-from-scratch baked goods and hearty meals is definitely worth a quick detour off the highway between Sedro-Woolley and Marblemount. The breakfast menu lists the usual quiches and waffles, along with three-potato hash (with eggs, corned beef, veggies, or andouille sausage). Midday offerings include sandwiches (both grilled and cold), salads, and soups. There's a full espresso bar and a soda fountain with delicious shakes.
These two restaurants have adjacent spots in the Pybus Public Market and a shared seating area, where you can enjoy pizza, pasta, antipasti, salami boards, soups, and sandwiches from Fire, and crepes, espresso drinks, and house-made gelato and sorbetto (sorbet) from Ice. Both are part of Visconti's Restaurant Group, which began in 1985 with classical Italian Visconti's in Wenatchee and now includes several restaurants in Wenatchee and Leavenworth.
In the back corner of Dan's Food Market, this homey little bakery turns out delicious breads, muffins, cakes, cookies, and pastries. Take a cinnamon roll or berry pie—and an espresso—to go.
Downtown Wenatchee's go-to for cappuccinos, lattes, and other finely crafted espresso drinks is a large, inviting space with brick walls and plenty of seating. The kitchen also serves tasty light breakfast fare—bagel sandwiches, parfaits, wraps, and breakfast burritos—and wrap sandwiches and salads at lunch time.
17 N. Wenatchee Ave., Wenatchee, Washington, 98801, USA
Prodigious breakfast sandwiches with delicious fillings—such as the "monster biscuit" with ham, bacon, cheddar, egg, herbed cream cheese, and Mama Lil's peppers—are the specialty of this bright, contemporary bakery on the north side of downtown Wenatchee. You'll also find an array of fresh-baked breads, plus cookies, cinnamon rolls, and other sweet treats.
826 N. Wenatchee Ave., Wenatchee, Washington, 98801, USA
From its cozy setting inside a 1917 home, this restaurant has been serving up tasty breakfasts and lunches since 2000. It's not far from the Pybus Public Market, where its new rendition called "The Huck" is open late into the evening. But the charm of the original has an appeal that keeps at least the early bird diners coming back in time to get a hearty meal before the restaurant closes at 2 pm.
