Welcome to Bend!
Food Scene
Bend offers many great food choices. Here are just a few of our favorites.
Nearby. Open for breakfast and lunch. Super friendly. Delicious food. Pleasant setting, inside and outside seating. In cool weather, the outside fire tables are lovely, and the waiters provide blankets for your lap or shoulders! Serve yourself coffee while you wait for a table. This place is so popular that you may have to wait. No reservations taken, but it seems if you call when you are on the way, you can bump up higher in the line.

Mmmm! Middle eastern flavors! Try the savory tofu with nut mixture, the roasted cauliflower, and the olives! We've heard the quail is superb.

Large outside area is nice children to run around, and everyone to play bean bag toss and sit on the grass or at tables. Trucks offer great food, and there's more food inside. Big selection of brews. Good view of the mountains. Very popular, so expect a lot of people.

Gorgeous cliffs. Climb, hike, stroll, or just look. It's very popular, so weekdays are more clear. About 45 minutes from Bend -- worth the drive!

Great water hole, and easy hiking along the river. If you park there and park another car at Riley Ranch Nature Preserve, you can walk from one to the other in 1.5 hours or so.
You need a state park pass for parking at Tumalo State Park, but not at Riley Ranch.
Note: Tumalo State Park is different than Tumalo Falls, which is farther away.

So close! Great views of the mountains. look down at the river. You may see mule deer herds grazing, and you can fly kites on a large open field. The paths are nice for snowshoeing and x-country skiing too. No bikes or dogs allowed.
