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.
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 name of this upbeat, contemporary downtown bistro reflects the kitchen's globally inspired approach in dishes from Thailand (clay pot prawns with glass noodles), Italy (mushroom risotto), and the American South (shrimp and grits). Creative preparations, a full bar with an impressive wine and spirits selection, and knowledgeable service are further reasons this buzzy spot has found a loyal legion of fans.
137 N. Wenatchee Ave., Wenatchee, Washington, 98801, USA
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.
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
Opened by two women with extensive experience cooking Thai food, this casual spot in downtown Wenatchee turns out some of the best Southeast Asian cuisine in the region. Traditional khao soi egg noodles, pineapple fried rice, stir-fried seafood, and hot and sour soups are among the most popular dishes from the extensive menu.
749 Riverside Dr., 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
This old-school roadhouse on the north side of downtown Wenatchee, topped by a windmill and built in 1931, is all about home-style food, particularly steaks, which include 18-ounce rib eyes and slow-roasted prime rib: lobster tail and jumbo prawns are available as add-ons. Other mainstays include wild-caught salmon with compound lobster butter and Alaskan Amber beer–battered cod fish and chips. The look is rustic, but prices reflect today's times. Splurge on a slice of fresh-baked pie or cheesecake to end your feast.
1501 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.
