Newport, Oregon Dining Guide: A Look at Newport Restaurants

(Newport, Oregon) – Along Oregon's coast, Newport sports something different in the way of eateries. There are more restaurants with outdoor eating areas than anywhere along these shores. And there's a unique mix of places to eat along the bay, with a beachfront view or in especially handsome interiors.

Plus, some major coastal staples got their start here and remain as culinary examples of living history. While other new, cutting edge restaurants around the Newport area blaze stellar paths via your palate. Also: Oregon Coast Seafood Restaurant Guide -
