Good Restaurants in P-Town?

Heading to P-Town with my wife and 2 children this summer. Leaving Chatham in the am and driving there. Looking for a place to go for great breakfast as we leave Chatham. Plan to have lunch and dinner in P-Town. Like to eat at a restaurant overlooking the ocean/harbor or other scenic views if possible....Any ideas?



Good Restaurants in P-Town?


You%26#39;ll get plenty of recommendations here but I did want to say that water views are relatively easy to come by in Ptown, so even if your restaurant didn%26#39;t offer an ocean or Bay view, the seascapes in this little town are amazing and easily accessed.



Good Restaurants in P-Town?


There are not that many Ptown restaurants on the water. I could recommend (from east to west) Fanizzi%26#39;s -- reasonable, good, basic food that kids would like too, Mews -- more upscale with excellent food and a nice atmosphere, Sal%26#39;s Place -- outdoor patio which you should specify if you make a reservation, and stick with fish dishes, Red Inn -- expensive but very good, though not all tables give you a water view. Other restaurants may be on the water but have only a few water view tables. For lunch, Pepe%26#39;s and Lobster Pot are good bets.





I%26#39;d consider some outdoor places facing Commercial Street. Devon -- expensive, Patio -- lively, good food, kids would like it, Bubala%26#39;s -- great street scene and good fish, and Enzo -- moderately expensive continental/italian cuisine.





Don%26#39;t be limited by these suggestions. Ptown has a lot of good restaurants (Edwige at Night and Jimmy%26#39;s Hideaway are two more I%26#39;d recommend.)




I second the Edwige at Night recommendation. It%26#39;s one of the best restaurants on the Cape imo (along with The Mews).




We had a great breakfast at the Wicked Oyster in Wellfleet (on the way to P-town). It can be hard to find parking since it%26#39;s very popular.

A great choice for a very family friendly Sunday Brunch is Fanizzi%26#39;s By The Sea (with super friendly service) (http://www.fanizzisrestaurant.com/) Brunch is served sundays from 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM. They have a small parking lot, but as it is the quiet end of town you can usually find parking.





Another great baby and kid friendly restaurant I like for dinner al fresco is Bubala%26#39;s by the Bay



(http://www.bubalas.com/) - patio warming lamps, great people watching, great staff.





I also like Edwige, but can%26#39;t say I have ever seen children there, although I imagine they are welcome.





Hope that helps!





Enjoy.




Note: The water views at Fanizzi%26#39;s are amazing - the waves splash the windows at high tide! You can%26#39;t get much closer than that!




PS - When we lived in Chatham and my folks came to visit, we would grab coffee and light pastry ';to go'; from Old Harbor Cafe on Old Harbor Road, then we would head straight to Fanizzi%26#39;s for the brunch opening at 10:00 AM (reserve the corner window booth a day or two before, if you get there at 10 you get a parking space in their lot). Brunch is all you can eat, which would fuel us thru the day, and we would catch dinner at Provincetown%26#39;s infamous Napi%26#39;s after a day in the dunes before heading back to Chatham in the evening...





I will miss the Cape this summer!





Hope that helps!



Enjoy.

We had a b day dinner at The Mews. Red Inn great and Tera Luna in nearby N. Truro is great. Pizza at Spiritus too. I like Bubala%26#39;s Cafe for lunch.
