It’s not difficult to find amazing seafood in Oregon, where we have 363 miles of stunning shoreline that opens out into the glorious Pacific Ocean. And in addition to stellar seafood, all this shoreline means a near-endless list of scenic places to grab a bite to eat. But for some of the most scenic coastal dining in Oregon (and also some of the state’s best fresh-caught seafood), you’ll want to venture up to Astoria’s Bridgewater Bistro.
Tucked in the shadow of the Astoria-Megler Bridge, the aptly named Bridgewater Bistro isn’t just one of the best waterfront restaurants in Oregon, it’s one of the best restaurants in Oregon, period.

With million-dollar views of an Oregon Coast icon, Bridgewater Bistro is the epitome of “dinner with a view.”

Bridgewater Bistro is North Coast dining done right, with a robust menu of Oregon wines that pair perfectly with the fresh-caught seafood specials. The dishes here are true works of edible art.

Case in point: this colorful special featuring crispy skin sablefish atop a bed of verdant green arugula and creamy cauliflower puree.

Not in the mood for surf? The restaurant’s turf options are equally amazing, and range from bone-in pork ribeye to steak tips, and comforting sides like polenta cakes and gouda mac and cheese.

The views at this glorious waterfront restaurant in Oregon don’t have to stop in the winter, either; heated pods keep diners warm whilst savoring the splendor of Astoria.

However, if you prefer to eat indoors, the dining room here is absolutely stunning, with large windows that offer wonderful views, too.
