Bend has grown from a small town in Central Oregon to a bustling cultural center. Efforts here are focused primarily around art, music, and most importantly; food. You can find everything from the swanky dining experience to something quick and casual. When you are on vacation around Bend, it is important to know about a few places where you can get a quick and quality bite. The following are just a few of those Bend places to eat.

Curbside Bistro

The quick preparation of food makes this a very convenient option for a bite to eat for so many people, but the quality of the food itself is the main reason that the Curbside Bistro has become a local favorite. You will not find food like this every day, as they take classic pub fare and add delicious French and Italian twists to it. Everything is made from scratch, from the burgers to the pasta. Find this tasty gem at 1009 NW Galveston.

El Sancho Taco Shop

At El Sancho Taco Shop you get the charm and authentic taste of Mexican street food with the fresh and quality ingredients that this community has come to expect. This is quite simply the best place in Bend for tacos. You can get the classics like carne asada or al pastor while also experimenting with some new things like mushroom tacos, potato tacos, and much more. You can also expect a subtle taste unlike anything you have ever tried thanks to their unique style of cooking with the rocket stove. Here, you get the best of all worlds: food that is made from scratch, quickly, and for a very reasonable price. Visit the shop at 335 NE Dekalb Ave or the shack at the Crux Fermentation Project.

The Phat Saddle

This charming little shack epitomizes quick and quality eats, especially if you are in the mood for a delicious hot dog, as this is their specialty. It all starts with the most quality hot dogs and even vegetarian dog options and extends to an incredible list of ‘phixins’ which includes all of the classics along with sausage gravy, chili sauce, and much more. Find it at the corner of 9th and Armour for a satisfying meal before your adventures.
