Great time of year for Ptown. I wouldn’t say Ptown is known for innovative dining … so sometimes views count too.
My recommendations -
Joon is one of our favorites.
Jimmy’s Hide away can be fun
Pepe’s you can’t beat their view from their deck
Lobster Pot is an institution, the food is fine - their seafood Cobb is one of my go to items there. If you don’t mind eating at a bar, we eat upstairs at their bar, always meet fun people.
Liz’s on Bradford has always been solid.
The Red Inn is supposed to be good, we’ve only been for their happy hour so can’t confirm
Again nothing in Ptown I would say is innovative but those are at least good food.
For a beach I’d recommend Herring Cove beach, I think in the summer there is a shuttle to get there - or you can cab/Uber or rent bikes. It’s about 2 miles from the center of town. It also is the only one with a food/drink option - cash only FYI.
For a quick weekend I don’t think it is worth trying to get out of town - not worth the hassle.
PS - everything is minutes walking from the Pier. The Red Inn is the furthest but we always walk.
PPS I would recommend Mews but we had the most horrible experience there last night, so it’s off my list for a while.
