2 Best Restaurants in Aberdeen, The Olympic Peninsula and Washington Coast

The name means renewed or revived, and much of the material—wood, metal, and glass—inside this cosmopolitan downtown restaurant has been repurposed, creating rustic yet refined space in which Edison bulbs and blown-glass floats mix with steel cables and timber beans. The kitchen focuses on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients in flavorful dishes like crispy duck confit with pork belly and white bean cassoulet and wild chanterelles, and rye-crusted steelhead with fondant potatoes and smoked beets. Regional wines complement the excellent food.

The most popular local saloon and brothel during Aberdeen's rough-and-tumble logging and seafaring years, this colorful tavern has a collection of prints recalling those bawdy days and remembering the life of the notorious original owner, Billy Ghol, who was rumored to have killed more than 100 men. The standard comfort fare includes steak and eggs, grilled local oysters, French dip sandwiches, and fish-and-chips. If you're looking for a challenge, try the Billy's Belt Buster, a burger with four patties, cheese, and bacon.
