1. It’s not happenstance that Avenue Bread has three separate locations in Bellingham alone. This popular eatery’s Tofu-ggenue breakfast sandwich is a savory tofu, avocado, red pepper, and caramelized onion delight!
2. The Black Cat’s Fried Chicken and Bacon sandwich is the perfect way to end the day! Paired with the ambience of the restaurant, you’re sure to have a delightful meal.
3. The Vitello Piccata is always the right option at Il Granaio Authentic Italian Restaurant! This meal is tangy and light, with the breaded medallions served in a delectable lemon butter and white wine sauce.
4. If you’re looking for some satisfying, delicious pho, look no further! Soy House has pho options for everyone, from tofu noodle pho to medium-rare noodle pho.
5. Open now for almost a decade, Structures Brewing boasts a variety of tasty American food and desserts. If you decide to have a meal at this eatery, the Chicken Sandwich with hot honey is the right way to go.
6. Bet you’ve never seen a Ramen Egg on a menu, until now! ‘Ono Kitchen & Bar sells one with a chili crisp soy marinade as a side.
7. Not only does Hotel Bellwether’s Lighthouse Bar & Grill have one of the best views of the ocean in Bellingham, but their Butternut Squash Gnocchi is particularly wonderful. While this is a vegetarian menu item, prawns, chicken, and salmon can all be added!
8. Mambo Italiano Cafe has been a Bellingham staple for over 20 years, and their food reflects it. You can’t go wrong with the Cheese Tortellini!
