Ashland has a restaurant scene that would be unremarkable in Portland but is genuinely impressive for a town of 22,000. The theatre audience demands quality, and the local farms and Rogue Valley vineyards supply it. You can eat very well here on a theatre weekend — whether you want farm-to-table Pacific Northwest cooking, wood-fired pizza, or sushi that holds its own against the cities.
The main concentration of restaurants runs along East Main Street and the plaza. Book ahead during peak summer season, when tables at the better spots fill up fast.
