Friday Harbor is host to several fine restaurants and cafés, including the Inn’s own restaurant, Coho, located two blocks from the Inn on Nichols Street. We offer an exquisite menu of fresh-from-the-farm Pacific Northwest cuisine with a Mediterranean flair, along with daily specials. Using the freshest local seasonal ingredients, including some from our own organic garden, our team of chefs creates savory and artfully presented fare. The wine list is culled from the best northwest and international producers to complement the menu offerings. The restaurant’s historic setting is perfect for a relaxing evening with friends or for that special night on the Town. Coho Restaurant promises a great evening of food, fun, and friends. Reservations are recommended but not required.
Please note that some of the restaurants close during the “off season” (October – April) and all have varying days off and times of operation; we recommend calling ahead just to make sure the restaurant is open. In summer months, prime dinner times fill up quickly so advance reservations are recommended. If you have any questions, please contact the Innkeepers or our Guest Services Coordinator, who will gladly provide you with a variety of dining options. They will be happy to share their personal favorites. In addition, you will find a book of local restaurant menus in the living room of the Upper Tucker House.
Here are a few of our favorite eateries.
