Well-fed and Happy!

If armies travel on their stomachs its safe to say the same is true for tourists. No one has ever gone hungry visiting Provincetown.

The real surprise for our visitors is the diversity and quality of our food - from local, ethnic ‘fast food’ to outdoor cafe fare to the gourmet cuisine served in elegant dining rooms of historic mansions.

Think about a very small town having a dinner party and thirty thousand people show up – obviously it’s imperative everyone’s well-fed and happy.

All of Provincetown’s restaurants are locally owned and express the individual owners’ tastes and commitment to their cuisine.

Given the high cost of doing business in Provincetown, only the best survive and your palate is the beneficiary of this fact of local life.

Provincetown is renowned for its fine restaurants. There are so many that you could stay a month without repeating.

There are elegant waterfront restaurants, colorful sidewalk cafes, sophisticated bistros, and casual dining on outdoor decks on the beach.

Most are open from early spring through the New Year, and some remain open throughout the winter months.

Fresh local seafood is readily available — steamer clams, oysters, scallops, mussels, squid, bluefish, tuna, swordfish, and lobster, served in a variety of styles, most notably Portuguese.

Comfortable casual clothes are the style in most restaurants but short shorts may be frowned on in the evenings, and bare chests and feet are not allowed.
