The Green Salmon

The Green Salmon in Yachats

If you're simply passing through Yachats but want to stop for lunch or a coffee, this place is right on the Pacific Coast Highway. Look for it on the east side of the highway, between 2nd and 3rd streets.

They make their own Fair Trade organic coffees, serve teas and cocoas too, obtain as much of their produce as possible from sustainable and organic local sources and, as they say, 'serve up organic coffee, drinks, breakfast and lunch for carnivores, vegetarians and vegans!'

Luna Sea Fish House

The Luna Sea Fish House in Yachats

This simple place is also right on the highway, on the west side just south of 2nd Street. They serve every kind of fish you can imagine, but only fresh and no farmed fish. They also make their own clam chowder, and have regular live music nights. The menu is pretty much fish-fish-fish, though they also do a veggie burger and a regular hamburger using grass-fed beef.

Ona Restaurant and Lounge

Salmon Plate at the Ona Restaurant and Lounge

Another place that's right on the Pacific Coast Highway, Ona is on the west side, south of 2nd Street and just south of Luna. Ona is more upmarket than Luna and although they have plenty of vegetarian and fish options, including crab and scallops, it's the place to go if you're more in the mood for a steak. They have a nice cocktail list, too - try their Oregon Negroni.

Yachats Brewing

Yachats Brewing: A Cut Above Bar Food

This is another eating option that's right on the highway, on the east side and north of 3rd Street. If you enjoy craft beer then you'll enjoy it here, with a casual and lively atmosphere and a long and tempting list of their own and some guest brews. They do beer flights as well, and they also make some collaboration brews. On the food side they offer straightforward dishes like burgers, a pulled pork sandwich, chicken salad sandwich, and chicken penne, but using organic local ingredients. It's better than the average pub plate.
