by Donna Britt August 28, 2026August 27, 2026

There’s something fitting about a restaurant called Coorie, a Scottish word that means to nestle in or take shelter. Tetherow Resort’s new signature restaurant invites diners to do exactly that — settling into a warm, refined space with calming views of the golf course and the Cascades while enjoying a menu that takes fine dining […]

Authenticity in Every Bite

Alebrije’s two Oaxaca-style carts are underrated gems

by Jared Rasic August 21, 2026August 23, 2026

If I had to name the one food concept in Bend that is consistently phenomenal yet criminally underrated, it would be Alebrije Oaxaca. For years, it’s been quietly serving up some of the most authentic Mexican food in the region — first from the yard at Bunk + Brew Hostel downtown and now also from […]

So Long, Big Ski’s

Longtime pierogi truck closing sooner than expected

by Nicole Vulcan August 18, 2026August 18, 2026

Rich Winiarski was in his truck cutting up onions when I popped in on him on a recent Monday — a similar scene to what he’s been doing since 2015, when he first opened Big Ski’s Pierogis in Bend. This one, however, is one of just a handful of Mondays ahead for the truck, located at […]

Come for the Fish and Chips, Stay for the View

Brooks Street Boathouse makes a splash with seafood, summer drinks and a stellar new patio on the Deschutes

by Donna Britt August 14, 2026August 18, 2026

There are restaurant patios, and then there are restaurant patios that make you want to cancel whatever plans you had for the rest of the day. Brooks Street Boathouse falls firmly into the latter category. The newest addition to downtown Bend’s riverfront dining scene, Brooks Street Boathouse is a seafood eatery and event space from […]

The iconic building on the northwest corner of Wall Street and Franklin Avenue in downtown Bend now has a tentative opening date, offering patrons something of a Bend history lesson along with its food and drink. Olive & May is the creation of Peter Kost, Caprice Neely and Fergal Donoher — all who have at […]

by Jared Rasic February 20, 2026February 19, 2026

Every once in a while, a food truck comes out of nowhere with a concept so pristine and perfect that it immediately feels like it has always been part of a town’s culinary landscape. Places that open with such effortless attention to detail and handmade craft that the diner realizes they were missing something they […]

Reubens, Rye and a Room with a View

Classic deli comfort with Pacific Northwest polish

by Donna Britt February 13, 2026February 15, 2026

Familiar, but fresh. Big flavors without the fuss. A New York City-style deli through a Pacific Northwest lens. That’s how I would sum up the new Stacks Dinner and Delicatessen in the Old Mill District. The nostalgic, yet polished Stacks comes from longtime local restauranteurs Steve and Cheri Helt, the duo behind Zydeco Kitchen and Cocktails […]

Small Kitchen, Big Taste

Gogo’s Bistro specializes in smash burgers, hot sandwiches, salads and sides

by Julie Furnas February 6, 2026February 5, 2026

No snow in January means another opportunity to eat outside. No offense to good weather but Bend needs snow! This time of year, I’m usually taking my food “to go” back to my warm office or house and eating inside while the snow melts off the roof. Not this year! I’ve eaten outside more this […]
