From West to
East:
Coles Corner
·
59er Diner.
Basic burger that meets the basic need.
Order a shake.
Leavenworth
·
I like Good Mood Food for light breakfast, baked
goods, lunch and coffee.
· Idlewild Pizza
Decent woodfired pizza. A cut above typical Leavenworth fare.
·
Fresh (Burgers). Next to Idlewild. Good burgers. Can be crowded.
·
South. Tasty Mexican fare. Prices seem to have gone up a tad as its
following has developed.
· Der Hinterhof Beer Garden (near Hospital and
river). Outdoor bands tour through all summer. Large space. Enjoyable setting for a beer in warm weather. Food is just something to wash down with the
brew, which is fine on a hot summer afternoon after a day out on the water.
·
For Leavenworth, park
on the north side of Highway 2 and walk across to town. Avoid the cluster of tourists and total lack
of parking.
·
Sandwiches at Dan's Market for lunches on the
go. $5 for a good, large sandwich. Patronize the local businesses.
Peshastin
·
Taco truck at Peshastin light (on right). Inexpensive.
Worth the stop. Serves at lunch and dinner time.
Cashmere
·
Nothing beats sitting
out at Cashmere's Waterfront Park after a run.
It's the best. Sunny and warm. Bring a cooler, a lawn chair, and linger at
the takeout.
·
Milepost 111 Brewing Co. (Cashmere) Tasty.
A couple of dozen beers on tap.
Beer is reasonably priced. Food
is high quality; a little more expensive. Riverside deck.
·
BBQ (right on the corner in Cashmere near the
park). Tasty. No beer (shame). Closed Sundays.
·
Anjou Bakery (east of Cashmere) Lost its endearing funk after an
unintelligible postindustrial expansion.
Still, great pies and baked goods.
Wenatchee
·
The Windmill (classic old time Wenatchee
steakhouse. Gotta go at least once for
dinner. $$$).
·
LaFuente (Wenatchee - appealing, authentic
Mexican (but what would I know about
authentic. Flavorful grilled
chicken) Huge portions.
