Bistro

When planning a trip to Cannon Beach, add Bistro to your dining list. Located on the north end of Hemlock Street, this cozy corner charms guests with delicious food and drinks, live music, and great company. It’s the perfect finale to an afternoon of walking along the tidal pools surrounding Haystack Rock.  

An unassuming brick walkway leads into this popular hangout. Bistro offers intimate dining spaces on the patio and inviting tables inside. You can also grab a seat at the bar. Don’t miss the colorful patio blooms come spring and summer. Dining under the twinkling patio lights is superb for a special night out!

Owner/chef Jack Stevenson has been at the helm of Bistro since 2016, showcasing fusion cuisine and homemade breads that give a nod to the seasons and ingredients of the Pacific Rim. 

Chef Jack’s culinary artistry is renowned among locals. His delectable dishes keep their straightforward appeal for regulars and tourists. This underscores the eatery’s principal motto of “food without confusion.”  Chef Jack often makes his way into the dining room to chat with patrons, adding to the overall warmth of the experience.

The ambiance at Bistro wraps you in comfort and anticipation from the moment hostess JJ catches your eye. The inviting walkway ushers you into the cozy bar area or a spot along the windows. Each table glows under the hue of candlelight. 

The atmosphere at Bistro is relaxed yet benignly elegant. Live guitar music plays Wednesday through Sunday, adding to the relaxing mood for a romantic evening. It’s also a premier Cannon Beach vacation destination for families and friends or a cherished weekend with the gals.
