Provincetown Restaurants

  1. Bubala's by the Bay

    For great people-watching and good food head to this sidewalk café that bustles night and day. Omelettes, fish and chips, and focaccia sandwiches are mainstays but lots of people just linger over a drink and watch the streetside parade roll by.

  2. Ciro & Sal's

    One of Provincetown's top choices for a romantic dinner out, this candlelit cellar restaurant specializes in local seafood with a northern Italian flair. Perhaps the baked oysters in pesto, or the fresh fish of the day with anchovies and plum tomatoes. Save room for the tiramisu.

  3. Karoo Kafe

    A fun alternative to seafood is this brightly painted café in safari decor that features authentic home-style cooking from South Africa. The ostrich satay is a favorite. Or order the spicy peri-peri chicken for a blast of tomato, garlic, onion and chili; it comes in a vegetarian tofu version too.

  4. Lobster Pot

    True to its name, this bustling fish house overlooking the ocean is the place for lobster. Start with the superb lobster bisque and then put on a bib and crack open the perfect boiled lobster. Best way to beat the crowd is to come in midafternoon.

  5. Mews Restaurant & Café

    A fantastic water view, the hottest martini bar in town and scrumptious food add up to Provincetown's finest dinner scene. There are two sections. Opt to dine gourmet on tuna sushi and rack of lamb downstairs where you're right on the sand or go casual with a juicy burger from the café menu upstairs.
